Consider Maybe They Put Will And El Like That So It WOULDNT Be Seen As A Ship Reference - Tumblr Posts

Why do you think they are using Wrinkle in Time as an inspiration though? And Meg and Calvin are married in WiT.... lol..?

Not sure if you mean storyline wise, or why I even think they’re using it at all? I’ll answer for the latter - the Duffers have posted about it multiple times and tesserring was already referenced by Scott Clarke in Season 1. The second image might even be a picture of a shot within the show. Episode Six is named Escape from Camazotz.

Clearly, they are kind of obsessed with this book especially in lead-up to Season Five.

And yes… I said that not all of the comparisons are 1 to 1. They’re just costume references sometimes. Mike is dressed as Peter Bishop from Fringe in Season 1 (another Duffer favourite), but I don’t think it’s a literal indication that he himself was stolen from another dimension by his father.
