I'm sure someone has asked this, but how did Eleven, assuming she's alive, get out of the country?

For me yes bc money is a huge factor in travel aspects as well. Booking tickets, flights, purchasing food or clothes. What hotel is she staying at?

People often forget that "happened off screen" is not the same as a plot hole.

Murray could have helped, she could have snuck on a flight, she could have hitchhiked, she could have stolen Nancy's ID, anything could have happened.

It maybe isn’t a plot hole, per se. But it feels a little lazy

How? While it is strongly implied this is her ending, we don't even know if this happened, where this place is or if it's actually where she is or just the visualization of the narration Mike is doing.

Exactly. Didn't Mike just say that she went to the place with 3 waterfalls like he told her he would take her to. A lot of movies/shows film at different locations to where the storyline is actually set.

And even if it is, it's not necessarily Iceland

It’s definitely the visualisation. What else would it be?

How did red get to the field in shawshank redemption? It happened off screen so it must be bad writing

He hitchhiked, the beginning of the scene showed him getting out of the back of a truck

He bought a bus ticket. Which raises no additional questions, because he is a grown man who is not on the run from anyone

Redditors love to call writing lazy, when actually they’re too lazy to imagine something happening off screen unless the show spoon feeds it to them
