So, the Sense8 Christmas Special aired over the Christmas weekend, and I ignored family and food to watch it several times. SO happy to have more of our favorites, and cannot wait until May.
Until then, here’s where my mind went during those two hours:
- Audra Mae’s Feeling Good + Your Business Time playlist = a big yes
- Kala is swimming directly into Wolfie’s arms, right?
- NO, THAT RING
- Dammit, Kala
- NO, THAT SPOON
- If Will is shooting up, is everyone getting high at the same time?
- Agent Bendicks could not possibly be cosplaying as Agent Smith any harder.
- I can’t tell if the guy playing Sun’s brother is a terrible actor or if Sun’s brother is supposed to be a terrible actor.
- I need Sun’s planking skills.
- “The only thing I ever really wanted … ” HERE COMES KALA!
- Nice one, showunners. Introducing Capheus in shadow, and then ‘You’re looking a little different these days.” “New barber.” We see what you did there.
- I WOULD TAKE HERNANDO’S CLASS SO HARD (and I would fail to take it again and again).
- What kind of students are this brazen?
- And have access to the projector???
- Art is love made public … oh, Hernando, bless your artistic soul.

- but … if these pics JUST hit the internet, how did Lito get there so fast?
- I love their love so much.

- ^^^ That’s Normal ^^^
- In his opioid dreams, Will is hanging out in Forks
- I would watch an entire show about Sun.

- I hope this whole season is about Sun.
- Lito’s ears are burning all the time, Nomi. This you should know.
- Lito feeling scared leads him to Nomi … and driving up in his car a huge homophobic scene leads to Kala admitting she feels trapped. Loving this progression of feels.
- Everyone seeing their own worst words! THE POIGNANCY OF THIS SHOW
- Seriously. Unparalleled.
- KALA! “My body is mine, not a field to be plowed or gossiped about.” GO GIRL
- Did Kala say this to Rajan??? I FUCKING HOPE SO

- How did Daniella get so lucky … I want to paint toenails with Lito and Hernando.
- UGH ARE THEY WATCHING LEGALLY BLONDE? I TAKE IT BACK.
- “You’re nervous” … Wolfie heads to Sun. I honestly think no one is stronger than Sun.
- I will go down with my Sun/THE BEST ship.
- Angelica’s cabin is the setting of every Twilight Fic Ever Read
- Well if anyone’s van was going to blow up like that … of course it would be Jean Claude’s. Obama has no good action footage to emulate.
- OH YAY … a cluster birthday!
- I know someone born on 8/8/88
- She is insufferable about it
- Shit just got super hot.

- I don’t know where Kala’s honeymoon is but I want to go to there.
- Also I want to go to everywhere Lito and Hernando are.
- Kala’s getting jewelry, Sun’s getting a picture, Capheus a new van, but um … Lito is getting spankings, so he is the most spoiled.
- Everything about this birthday celebration is what great montages are made of.
- There is nothing I like better than the idea that they are all visiting Sun when they are afraid or nervous and needing strength.
- “We exist because of sex … it’s not something to be afraid of. It’s something to honor, to enjoy.” CUE THE ORGY MONTAGE, please.
- Thank you.
- I still don’t understand how Lito or Amanita can be doing it in the other locations …
- Wait. Did I see them in other places?
- Too many butts.
- There are never too many butts.
- But I can’t tell whose is whose.
- Pretty sure I saw Hernando in Riley’s squat.
- Worst thing I ever typed right there.
- There is so much good sex in this show that it doesn’t even need fic.

- Of course Kala barges in on Wolfgang’s hook up. And of course he can keep going.
- “SHE LIKES IT” is the best line delivery of the whole damn episode.
- When Lito’s team said there will be legal consequences, I assumed they were talking about contracts with his studio or current projects. Not that he could get summarily kicked out of his home.
- Oh hi, Stereotypical Traveling Abroad Nightmare Doctor Scenario.
- Oh a Whispers scene … time for a snack.
- A long Whispers scene … maybe I need an omelet.

- Wolfie does not give a ffuuuuuuu ….
- Hernando is such a mom … “he WAS a nice guy.”
- “Good to see you,” from Lito to Wolfie is my second favorite delivery of this episode.

- Rajan talking about the Siren Islands is a little on the nose.
- We get it. She’s hot. You’re not. It’s a dangerous combo for love and settling.
- Nomi’s women’s shelter has a Corrie Ten Boom hiding place! And now I’m worried that every bad cop everywhere hunting innocent hacking transgender fugitives will know to look behind the bureau!
- Capheus loves Sun so much … totally platonic but that is some serious hero worship.
- Sun’s predicament makes me feel so many things … mainly that we aren’t going to be able to go a whole other season without one of them dying.
- Can I vote for Riley?

- … or Will
- “Fuckaboom” … third best delivery.
- “Watching my career die in real time.” Drama queen was an understatement, Lito.
- Those Mexican eyebrows are playing Ophelia in a high school production.
- Will’s dad is Cypher and The Matrix connections really aren’t that prevalent, so why am I noticing it?
- Wolfie’s smile at Kala’s innocent snow joy is the purest of all things.

- The last time they talked he was spanking a stranger, but he still “has something good inside of him.” Kala, you are toast for this boy.
- Lito’s mom’s twinkle lights are exactly what my kids expect us to do every year.
- We will never reach that level of Christmas cheer.
- I don’t understand AT ALL what Wolfgang’s city wars are about. Why is German turtle guy giving him a rolex?
- What is happening? I am tearing up at Bug and his virts and his gnome.
- Lito’s mom is a MILF. I don’t know why I expected her to be any different.
- Everyone in Lito’s life is beyond hot.
- In fact, Lito might be the unhottest of all of his loved ones.
- Hernando and Daniella celebrating her acceptance of her son = ALL OF US.
- Just the whole sense8 fandom made that same face.
- Designer condoms! LULZ
- Another super gorgeous montage with the most emotional song of all time. Having lost Leonard this year, this is unfair emotional manipulation.
- Daniella’s acceptance by Lito’s mom made me cry.
- Know what didn’t? Will’s problem with his dad.
- Or this super long Whispers scene.
- Why don’t I care about Riley and Will?
- Am I broken?
- Or are they as boring as I think they are?
- Have Rajan and Kala still not done it?
- They’ve been married for MONTHS now.

- OMG Rajan you’re so EXTRA right now
- Um, so German Turtle killed Wolfgang’s cartographer? And he wants to kill Wolfgang too now?
- I thought they were buds?
- I super don’t understand this Berlin Gang War.
- YES SUN IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!
- And Will, I guess.
- KALAGANG IN THE END MY HEART. Get it together, kids.
- GET HERE NOW, MAY.
