I did start (though not finish) rewatching the pilot, and the first connection (other than the awakening) is between Will and Riley. So there is a bit of foreshadowing there.

Also in the pilot, Whispers says he's looking forward to meeting Jacob. So how does that jive with creepy Icelandic lady saying that Jacob and Angelina worked for Whispers? Was Angelina the only contact?

Good question, Dana. That makes me wonder if the Iceland lady, Jacob and Angelica were part of a previous 8 and are still linked.

Another rec for Catastrophe. It's kind of like a really long, really good rom com.

There are few people in my life who would understand this, because shrift hasn't watched Sense8 yet, but the conductor of our symphony reminds me so much of Lito. We have some visiting youth musicians, and at the end of the last rehearsal, he was talking about how good it had been working with them, and he said, "I normally don't talk this much because I start to cry."

(I was also convinced he was gay, because there's a guy who comes with him to all rehearsals, and I thought it was his partner, but it must just be his heterosexual life partner.)

Has anyone else seen the horribly named Scrotal Recall on Netflix? Despite the off putting name, it is really sweet, and I really hope they have a second season.

Netflix announced that Sense 8 is getting a second season.

Does Netflix ever not renew anything?

Yaaaaaay.

Does Netflix ever not renew anything?

That werewolf show?

Hemlock Grove? That's been renewed for a third season.

The fuck.

In contrast to Netflix, Hulu will stick to releasing its TV series one episode a week.
