He's definitely alive. They can't just kill Joyce's boyfriends every season.

Sure they can... She will be the new black widow! Just saying!

By the way, did anyone else pick up the "sudo" time shift at the end of the last episode? First they were packed, then they were packing again, then they were packing and leaving? It almost felt like we could see a time shift or something along those lines in the series, which might explain why she doesn't have her powers right now... maybe... just a thought.

I have a feeling if he is alive, he is in the upside down world or looking at my above statement, he is in another time/universe.
 
Interestingly, the show's timeline is getting into the years when Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers) started to become well known in films like Heathers and Beetlejuice. It would be really funny to include scenes from one of those movies in the show like they did with Back to the Future and have one of the characters point out Winona Ryder's resemblance to Joyce. If you go forward another six years, she starred in Reality Bites with Ethan Hawke, Maya (Robin) Hawke's father, but I don't think Stranger Things will get that far.
When did they do that in BTTF? I watched those movies repeatedly as a kid but can't remember. :oops:

I just was just referring to their use of a period movie in the show, as they did with BTTF. Showing one of Winona Ryder's films and having someone point out a character's resemblance to Joyce would be cool and funny.
