shadowkatSo, been binge-watching S2 of Sense8, almost done. Two episodes left, dang it.
Painful this has been cancelled over far more violent and far less deserving fare. But I also, once again, came late to the party. I did the same thing with Farscape.
This is what it is about in the words of one of its' creators, the same guy who created and wrote Babylon5.
"We started out at one point talking about how evolution involves creating ever greater circles of empathy: You belong to your family, then you belong to your tribe, then two tribes link up and now you have empathy for your people on this side of the river, and you're against the people on the other side of the river... on and on through villages, cities, states and nations... So what if a more literal form of empathy could be triggered in eight individuals around the planet... who suddenly became mentally aware of each other, able to communicate as directly as if they were in the same room. How would they react? What would they do? ... What does it mean? And what would the world think about people with this ability? Would they embrace it, or hunt them down...? It would give us a perfect platform to do a show that was loaded with action, big ideas, some amazing stunts that no one's done before, and play to a planetary audience."
This is the best show I've watched this year. I'm half tempted to buy the DVD and rewatch. But I can always just re-stream at some point.
Anyone know of any Sense8 fanfic? I think I may need to find some Sense8 fanfic after tomorrow...

Damn. I wish they could have give us at least five more episodes to wrap it up. Reminds me a little bit of what they did in Farscape.
