I don't think Eleven is anything nonhuman, she just has abilities from her mother being in experiments (or from Brenner also having abilities to a lesser extent).

 

I don't think she's calling him papa in a literal sense. They probably trained her to call him that as a way to build trust.

 

Still, seemed weird since the way she was saying it sounded like someone who didn't speak English as a first language. "Papa" is not a typical north American title(?), or whatever it's called.

 

That was pretty obvious.

 

I think papa is still fairly common here

 

I'm betting all you guys, Brennan for the father season 2, deeper in the backstory, let's go

 

Is it though? Her inflection of the word sounded similar to the way Spain uses it. She is from Spain, so that might be why.

I'm probably looking too much into it, whatever.

 

So if he's the dad, is that crazy LSD lady the mother?

 

maybe it's just a Midwest thing, but yeah.

I blame Little House on the Prairie.

it was pretty heavily implied that she is 11's mom.

 

I'd hope she was, but then again how are they going to explain that LSD from a pregnant woman gave her daughter powers. Or if it wasn't the LSD, how did the powers come about in the first place?

Just seems like a lot of things to cover.

 

I feel like that is a given

 

With how heavy handed the intercuts were, I'd hope so.

 

I don't think we were ever supposed to believe the moms drug use gave El powers... I mean I could be wrong.

 

There has to be an explanation, no way they just gloss over that fact.

 

I don't think it was drug use, that's what they told the public to cover it up.

 

Yeah I agree. I just kind of thought it was implied that that was a lie based on how much the organization was already trying to cover up. it seemed so obviously far fetched that I figured it was a lie.

I would imagine we will learn more about El's origin in the next season?

 

Should we keep posting with spoilers or are we safe to assume people arnt coming into this thread without having already seen the whole thing?

 

It's been over a month, that should be enough time to have gone through 8 episodes.

 

Not drugs she was voluntarily taking, the experiments involved LSD supposedly so she was being given drugs for experimental purposes.

 

I guess that's a valid point - we have no idea what they actually gave her

 

dunno if it's been posted, but makeitstranger.com is pretty neat.

 

I'm sure they'll do it but some flashbacks on how el and Brenner formed their relationship would be great. Which also makes me think we haven't seen the last of him.

 

I thought they kinda did that with the various flashbacks they showed to her being experimented on.

 

I meant even further like how she came to be in his possession and got her to call him papa.
