Episode four went by super fast:

Wolfgang apologizing to Will!! Seemed so dramatic and yet I loved it. He thought it was important that Will know he wasn't purposefully abandoning him.

Sun absolutely having an incredible time alone on the roof was such a lovely scene.

Kala and Wolfgang in the bathroom!! Holy smokes the longing is palpable. Kala was ready to leave it all for him. Wolfgang thinks he would corrupt her by being with her, and Kala thinks she wants to be corrupted, and while I don't love the way sex is considered an immoral act by both of them, I'm loving the tension and how they're both constantly thinking about it. Surely Rajan is noticing that something is up with Kala.

Haha Bug's reaction to finding out that sensates exist is sending me.

Lila is interesting just because she's so straightforward and doesn't give a fuck about anything - does she not have a cluster of her own?

It's kind of sad that no one came to help Sun when she was fighting the cops but they've pretty solidly established that Sun is the one who saves everyone else's ass during a fight so I'm not worried. That reveal!! Wait so he's the guy that fought her way back then?? Her first fuck?? He's hot ngl.

I don't trust Angelica. That scene showing Jonas' memory was confusing, like they were trying to convince her to join BPO? OR stay away from BPO? What's with the sterilization thing? Was that BPO's original plan to stop sensates from growing their population?

Oh no, Jonas :( He had really grown on me.

Episode 5:

Bug is so freaking funny but in an earnest way. That's a hard thing to pull off.

Sun being so zen and then suddenly punching the TV - I love that she embodies the trope of always carrying anger inside her, and yet she's a woman with a slight build and a sick bob haircut and the fighting skills to back up that anger.

Okay so Whispers is trying to do some eugenics thing where he only lets sensates mate who are violent enough?? Ugh he's just getting creepier and creepier. I definitely don't believe him when he says Angelica just couldn't handle "the truth" and that's why she's dead. I also don't understand why he's not trying to track Will when he visits, I guess because he still can't get any details based on Will and Riley's abandoned squatter location situation.

This family dinner! Kala and Rajan's Dads are great characters and I'm laughing at everyone desperately trying to change the subject. Man, that conversation could have taken place in the US, it seemed so familiar to the way people are talking right now.

Lito and Hernando and Dani's new place is GORGEOUS. I love the purples and the green accent wall. And I love that Lito calls them both "family." Sheesh they're so canon.

How is no one in this crowded theater telling Bug and Nomi to shush, lol.

Wolfgang saying he doesn't need anyone - Hoo boy, that hits hard considering how much closer he's grown to his cluster. Seems like he still feels separate and apart from them in some ways, even if he's putting on a front to dissuade Lila. While I applaud Lila's dedication to getting what she wants, I'm wondering if something magical will happen if she has sex with Wolfgang?? She really wants that D.

Mun doing some recon ~ I'm so intrigued by him and I hope he turns out to be on Sun's side!

What happens when a cluster walks into a bar... Very cute scene. Courage is contagious! Everyone had some great one-liners, but that one from Capheus is my favorite. I also like the title quote from Wolfgang, fear never fixed anything. It was great to see everyone getting asked for their opinion. I love this journey Lito is on, realizing that as an actor he inspired people in a certain way. But as a gay man in the public eye, he can inspire people in a completely different way, and maybe that matters more.

Oh okay, Will out here saying he's a cop so he gets inspired to shave. LOL He has NOT had enough of an identity crisis yet imo. The dance scene was cute even though Riley is not my favorite character, I liked her speech. It's not clear to me if it worked? I guess that dude in the hat was a sensate because he could see all of them? But why was he freaked out?

Has Will even taken the blockers yet? They didn't really show any effects from it, or what it would feel like for him to be disconnected if he did.

Is Capheus going to be a politician? Maybe now when the cluster is trying to gather more attention? It would seem a little out of character for him to accept.

I'm also suspicious of Rajan now, I'm curious where they're going with this. Is he deliberately manipulating things for $$ or is he trying to bury his head in the sand about it?
