Well, JMS is famous for having a plan and pulling it off, like in Babylon 5. But he's also had stuff that's gone horribly off the rails, like his run on the Superman comic.
I will hold out hope.
My favorite moment so far, "I do not know how to use my fists, but that does not mean I do not know how to fight."
Yeehaw!
My favorite moment so far, "I do not know how to use my fists, but that does not mean I do not know how to fight."
Yesssssssssssssssss. So happy. Especially because I had been becoming discontent that she never got to help anyone. I thought she had no useful skills but I'd forgotten she was a SCIENTIST.
Maybe the story will turn out differently than I expect.
I am fine with that trope, but it's unclear to me whether it's the truth. Remember: he loves playing games. Not sure he's not double-crossing.
You may enjoy my Sense8 experience via Tweets (no spoilers).
I DO enjoy!!
And agree about the one character's twistyness. I'll be happy to be proven wrong on that one.
As per your other white font, TOTALLY that! I'd begun to drum my fingers in frustration about the seeming set decoration nature of that character. Well, okay, no there was the moral and spiritual compass aspect but then...BOOMshakalaka.
I thought that was great.
As is my habit to find value for my work in nearly everything I see, I used Sense8 in a client session this evening as a metaphor for relying on our inner-selves for problem solving and comfort . It was most satisfying.
If I were to pick any nits, one would be that I wish the women had been a couple more dimension-al vs. "I sacrifice and fight", "I sacrifice and pine", "I sacrifice and run away", and "I sacrifice and am persecuted and then sacrifice some more ."
It sort of came out in the wash, but the theme was not lost on me. Though, I suppose that could be said for their counterparts as well.
Still, in the end, I learned to love all the characters.
Then again, I've always loved the ensemble more than the main character of pretty much ANY show I enjoy.
Sense8 - the ending to Smart Money Is on the Skinny Bitch was extremely satisfying .
Yessssssss I loved that scene.
Today's Sense8 check-in: I am a sap, and the karaoke shared sing bit was adorable, and then at the very end with the cab ride, touching .
OMG, and now I'm watching the opener of the next ep, and the shared PMSing is hilarious .
I really love these people. I need to learn their names. The cop reminds me of Channing Tatum, I think. Does that sound reasonable? Anyway, I find this show so charming.
Jen, that's one of my favorite moments in the series. And yes to the next episode ahaahahaha.
CHARACTER PRIMER

So Sense8 is a reboot of Leverage? Only with telepathy instead of magic earpieces?
It's sort of like Psychic Global Frequency.
