It bothers me that because she's a tiny little gorgeous woman that there are no accountability to her behavior. #consent

    Also, her excitement about being Lito's beard also bothers me because yeah, what is she getting out of this? "I think gay porn is so hot. I pissed off a former boyfriend of mine who is a person people don't say no to. My father is druglord. I'm also not used to men saying no to me. The other girls in the movie we are filming are sluts who can't act." I don't know. Her whole attitude just rubs me the wrong way.

    But yes, Hernando is gorgeous.
    Lito's Arc EP 3

    It's definitely played for laughs, but yeah, it is unsettling for exactly the reasons you outline. It's a shame, because by all accounts she seems nice, even if she has no clue what personal space is. If she was a man, this would definitely be portrayed as different.

    Hernando and Lito are very cute. I like Hernando because of the glasses, really. I still find it weird that they'd allow her to watch them have sex, but each to their own, I guess. His arc is definitely the lightest of them so far, probably because he's hardly interacted with the other characters yet.

    Me and Mr. Carny have stormed to Episode five. Honestly, I'm glad Lito has actually linked with someone! I don't think he's linked with anyone yet until now.

    I really need to get back to this. I watched the first two or three episodes back when the series premiered but got distracted by other things.

    Me and Formy have finished season one! I wonder when they'll stick up the next one. We both really enjoyed it. Just finished the last episode. We reflected on how different characters have had to deal with different levels of trout in their past lives, from middle-class bubble Kala who seems to have lead a pretty uneventful life, to SPOILER! terrible tragedies like Riley in the mountains.

    Plus, speaking of Kala Kala's love life spoiler get your trout together, woman! Just tell him you don't want to marry him, because you don't love him. Joking aside, I can understand how it might be difficult to crush such a nice man's dreams. He seems really kind and considerate. Plus handsome. He's practically perfect, really.

    Just finished the first season. My thoughts:

    (SPOILER)Was really disappointed with the last episode. It built up to something awesome and the last episode was meh. Also, shouldn't glasses doctor STILL be able to find Will? Also, how exactly does that work? It's never really explained.

    Also, Sun best character. Although, I don't dislike any of the main cast. Lito is probably my least favorite of the bunch. But when he was experiencing Sun's period ahahaha, that was the best.

    I really, really love Sense8! The Wachowskis really redeemed themselves with this after the trash that was Jupiter Ascending, imo. I was so happy when they announced a second season was going ahead, I'm super stoked to see it and can't wait!


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    This took me by surprise! Can’t wait to watch this. Might have to watch the last few episodes to remind myself.

    Well, it's over.

    I'm torn on this episode. I thought it was good, but it was understandably rushed and the pacing was so bizarre. I get that it's not really their fault. But I just kept getting more and more angry that we didn't get the seasons we deserved. Or at least one full season to lay things out better. I'm just bitter that such an amazing series was done such little justice.

    It's better than nothing, but the fans of the show--the people who were deeply impacted and touched by the story--really were entitled to more than this.

    Sense8 was a victim of its production budget really, I think only HBO can really handle something that sprawling.
