Sense8 - the ending to Smart Money Is on the Skinny Bitch was extremely satisfying .
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

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.

So Sense8 is a reboot of Leverage? Only with telepathy instead of magic earpieces?

It's sort of like Psychic Global Frequency.

P-C, that's great description. Will, Riley, and Lito were the names I couldn't remember. Well, and I guess I think of Capheus as Van Damme.
I loved Sun and Capheus' meeting in the street(s) in this ep, too.
The friends, partners, and family characters are engaging, too.
It's kind of interesting to me that I'm this far in and I don't really know much how or why, but that's not interfering with my enjoyment .

I can see I'm going to have to start marathoning on the weekends; that show sounds like fun.

It strikes me as interesting that we have two activists, two sensitives, two optimists and two hitters.
The hitters could also be considered pessimists.
They put me in mind of the major arcana of a tarot deck.
Given that everything the Wachowski's do is fraught with deeper meaning...kind of like my own view of the world...I'm curious to see how the deck plays out.
The friends, partners, and family characters are engaging, too.
This is one of the things I love best about it!
I'm going back now to look for the details of their participation. Even the ones that mess up really badly are inherently good.
The only thing I'm still confused about is the role of Daryl Hannah's character, and her counterpart, the "Cassandra-esque" (?) scary lady .
Oh! And, was the trigger for the Sensates to know of each other, Daryl's death? That seems like an inefficient origin story .

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sense8 = Sensate. Now I get it.
