impala_chickI'm planning on liveblogging/posting as I watch season two, since I have some new people on my flist who are sense8 fans :D
Okay so I'm slightly confused by the Wolfgang subplot right now. Are all of the Berlin kings trying to get him to join their side? Wolfgang shot a guy last episode but I thought that was because they were chasing him. Oh but that guy was an enemy of Fuchs, so Fuchs is rewarding him?? Also, Felix owning a club sounds like the perfect job for him.
Whispers' family - so it seems like his wife knows he's a sensate and that he has to take blockers. But his kids aren't sensates? Is being a sense8 a recessive trait? Also, is he only allowed to have a family because he's helping BPO? Is that what they have on him? When they revealed that whispers killed Sara, that kind of came out of left field for me (Maybe I didn't pay enough attention last season) but I'm not clear on Whispers' motivation. Surely he can feel/understand how much he's hurting his fellow sensates.
Okay my little shipper heart loved when Wolfgang told Riley not to give up on Will. There was this undercurrent of tension there, like Wolfgang recognizes and respects (and admires?) Will's stubbornness.
The speech with Lito & Capheus playing off of each other and talking about what film means to them was really beautiful. I wasn't sold on the new actor playing Capheus, but that moment had great emotional pay off and I like him a lot more now. And it was lovely that Lito brought Daniela and Hernando to the premiere, even though shit got ugly.
Riley's Dad! He's such a fun character. He's quirky enough to just go with Riley's requests and not ask too many questions, which really fits the fairly carefree character they set up in season one. There aren't really any other sense8 parents that they can rely on for this type of covert operation.
Nita continues to be the best sense8 partner. Her outfits were fire this episode, too. I hope others get to find out this season. Especially Hernando and Daniela, I'm dying to know how they'd react. But also Rajan. Kala came so close to telling him in s1, but now it seems like he's been sidelined a bit.
The moment with Wolfgang and Sun (and then Will) at the zoo, watching a tiger pacing in its cage! I am not immune to obvious but appropriate metaphors.
I LOVE how it's revealed that all of the sense8s had this great decoy plan, and through sheer determination, Will wore down whispers until he forgot his pills at an opportune time. When Riley called them all in, and they all gathered clues - and then Whispers' face!! I got chills when Will delivered his threat. I'm looking forward to this showdown!!
