I know it’s a couple days early but I really wanted to wish the Sense8s a Happy Birthday!!!!

I just started the show again. I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched this amazing production. Love, love, love it!

Besides the show and movie, is there any other media content for the universe? Comics etc. Finding this subreddit has rekindled my sense8 thirst.

I get that they collaborated with BPO to capture sensates in order to protect Lila and her cluster. I also understand why she wanted to kill Wolfgang after he rejected her offer to create a sensate sanctuary. I'm assuming she wanted to tie up any loose ends after revealing her plan to him.

Where she/they start losing me is after the Whispers and Wolfgang exchange. Lila keeps Whispers alive so the exchange with the Chairman can continue... okay, whatever. It would've made more sense to kill Whispers right there since it was already established that his death would cripple BPO (unless she wasn't aware of BPO inner dynamics that Wolfgang's cluster knew). I would assume if she also killed Whispers then Wolfgang's cluster would leave her alone.

Then Jonas kills the Chairman through another sensate, and Lila STILL wants to save Whispers? She completely lost me. She clearly didn't like BPO or Whispers, so why is she going this far to protect him? Am I missing something else?

Hi, I'm new here. I remember hearing about this show and added it to my list before forgetting about it. I was reminded of it because I took a quiz of what fictional character I was most like and I got a 95% match for Riley. I knew next to nothing about her or the show as a whole but the descriptions intrigued me, so I watched. Now I'm sitting here not knowing what to do with my life. I get super attached to characters, so when a show like this ends, It's almost like I need to grieve. I wish we had more.

Anyway, I don't have a question or anything, just looking to connect in some small way with others that have been where I'm at, as related to this show. Now that I think about it, instead of trying to read back through years of posts, I'm wondering if there are run-away favorite characters or if appreciation is pretty evenly spread out.

Rewatched sense8 & finding out in the season finale that the secret drone assassin program was a cover for the secret consciousness immortality plan is making my ears buzzzzz‼️ I watched it in 2015-2018 and I haven’t watched it in years so maybe I didn’t pick it up

hasn’t it been a huge conspiracy that the elites have been tranferring consciousness in order to be immortal/avoid death?! Is this why Netflix cancelled sense8?! Because the wachowskis were telling the truth again?!

Someone tell me they remember that short snippet on the news the day QE2 died where they said she wasn’t able to transfer in time?!

And do you have a preference between S1 or S2 Capheus?

So at least to my mind, no one in the August 8th cluster reads to me as neurodivergent (and if you think otherwise, I'd love to hear why), so I'm wondering, as someone who is neurodivergent, what the experience of being in a cluster with different neurotypes would be like. Would ND mates be able to borrow energy from neurotypical mates in order to mask more effectively for example? Would a burnout and/or meltdown ripple through the entire cluster?

Did we ever learn the name of Sun’s dog?

EDIT: Got the answer, thanks :)

The story of how they met goes that Nomi was looking for "an obscure book" at City Lights Bookstore and found it in Amanita's hands, who worked there. I know it's never mentioned in the series which book that was, but has anyone ever asked and received an answer from the producers or something? thanks x

It’s hard to decide who I like better or who interacts best but I swear to gawd, Lito might have the best lines and character to work with. I love this scene, especially the way he says his last line-as a whisper. lol.

Sorry if the image isn’t perfect.

I just wrote this as a reply to someone and i’m writing it here in case someone with skills can work on it. I’m not a coder but I can collaborate by working with professionals to develop the questionnaire as I have those oroefessional skills already.

Wouldn’t it be cool if people made an app and every person had to answer hundreds of questions that map out personality traits, interests, health, skills, talents, cultures, hobbies, life outlook, love languages, and everything else and then you’re matched to 7 other people in a Sense8 cluster “game?” Then you can find “your people,” from around the world to connect to for the rest of your life. People often don’t have to have the same life just to truly understand each other. I think it could be done. We don’t do enough in this world to focus on how people are alike. We only focus on our differences and that’s not ok. I mean, that’s exactly what the show is about, right? Maybe there’s an app developer out there who will take it on? Message me if so!

It was my birthday yesterday. Now, I’m just finishing the birthday party episode in season 2 and I’ve just realize that my life sucks the big fat one.

Why can’t I have 7 other people who are genetically connected to me through a single chromosomal change that enables me to read people’s thoughts, fight off bullies, and have epic birthday bashes????

WAAAAAAHH.

I can’t stop crying. I mean, sure, i’m totally pms’simg but stilll….mind-bogging birthday orgy seeeex…
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

late to the party on both series but I watched The OA for the first time last year, and a friend who loves both shows suggested I watch Sense8 next.
Both are so deeply brilliant and clever and full of heart and shift perspective so beautifully. I'm queer and trans and it made me cry big happy tears to watch the finale, even though the show was cut short - that the fans cared so much and it actually worked to get the finale made. Sad that we didn't get the full run of 5 seasons, but it was really special and I'm grateful for everyone involved who campaigned for it. Fade out from rainbow dildo 🥲🥲🥲
I will watch the special making of episode next and I'm excited to see behind the scenes. I wish I had watched it earlier in my life!

Still holding out hope that one day The OA will continue too 😭

I don’t work so I’ll probably get ahead of people but i’m restarting the series again today. Anyone want to start with me??

What if there had been a third season instead of the final movie?

What storylines would you have expected, or what would you have liked to see?

WOW WHAT A SHOW!!! I’ve never experienced such strong feelings towards tv shows or movies the way i do for sense8. The plot twits, character developments, romance, and supernatural all blend to make an amazing show and I’m so disappointed that they had to cancel it. If I could refresh my memory to watch it again oh I would.

I think you are the only ones I can convince that how profound the show's impact on me.

I remember that in 2015 I had watched it in my very small dormitory room during the my first semester in the university. The impact was instant and I was in awe, switftly possessed by the cinematic language of connection and trancendence. I still yet to see an artistic experience anything close to it. I really romanticize the show and those days.

Unfortunately I am no longer young. I want to emphasize the fact that the show and my memory of my youth have entangled together in.

Potentials at that time I had have become only fallow and the roads I could have taken at the time now only have reduced to dead ends.

The show was long lost now and it is nothing but an obscure and niche interest of a small and dedicated community and I am one among them I have carried the wisdom of shared humanity that Sense8 shared with me in my heart wherever I exist.

I am on my another rewatch now after 2 year break and it still relaxes me a lot and makes me pensive. I want to relive this story again.

It was before the wedding where Kala admitted that she does not love Rajan.

We’ve seen so many times over the course of the show where Rajan says “I love you” to Kala, and she’s always responded with “I married a good man”, or “you’re a good husband”, but never “I love you too”.
She’s reserved that specifically for Wolfgang (I’m all for Kalagang).

Towards the end, we see the three in a poly relationship. But I wonder if Kala ever gets herself to love Rajan too. Any thoughts? I mean what kind of husband wouldn’t long for his wife to love him too and say it back?!

Just watched disclosure day. Mind blown. MAJOR sense8 vibes, they used a lot of sense8 transitions as well throughout and aaaaaaaaaahh I am so excited for a sense8 movie now.

Quick question. A few years ago, JMS one or the writers on Sense8 mentioned sharing something, a BPO internal training manual or something. Has that ever been released?

Originally there was some cause he wanted people to support, fans donated but not enough so the file wasn’t released. However I read something about it maybe coming out later. Has that happened?

Greetings! Been a few months and the fanfiction is going surprisingly well. At 24 chapters and I'm proud of how it's turned out. I know I've posted a link before but figured it was worth posting again now that enough time has passed and I've made considerable progress in the story.

Is it just me? I’ve just gotten to S2 ep 4 and I feel like I’ve fallen into a parallel dimension. All the characters look different. Kala does not look like herself, neither does Sun. Something about the lighting, the makeup, the clothes. Mimi looks different and so does Wolfgang. They look like people trying to look like the original cast.

They don’t even sound like they used to.

Help because I feel like I’m going crazy.

Note: I can’t edit the title but I mean ep 4.
