Werthead Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 You also see it when Sun punches the food and then the other people turn around and it's Nomi who's done it. I agree the concluding fight scene was a little confusing in that regard, but from the POV of the attackers, it's all Wolfgang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Actually there is one scene where it looks like Wolfgang is in a headlock and Sun punches another assailant. But I might have not seen properly and it was Felix grappling with the other man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't watched since the show first aired, but it was jarring for me, too. Just having an actor who looks that different. Hopefully it does get better over time.

Mladen Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 This continues to be one of the most emotionally involving TV shows on air these days. There certainly are better shows and perhaps better characters, but the notion of inseparable, profound connection with other human beings in the time of holidays can be extremely comforting. This show truly hits all the right notes for me. The best part is that there is always new layer. I mean, with 8 sensates, there are if my math is correct, 28 different interactions, which gives many different layers and stories that can be investigated. The montages continue to be amazing. Hallelujah scene was beautiful, *the necessary* orgy scene was at moments wild, but also sensual. I feel that some issues of the first season with regard to the first part of the season still haven't been solved and this was also a bit slow burner, just like the first episodes of Season 1. In short, I am looking forward to Season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Is Angelica actually dead? I was just rewatching the pilot and totally didn't catch that Will went by her supposed suicide site and several times it was pointed out that there was no blood, no evidence of a death at all. Just the mattress and a box of drugs. Am I the only one who thought she was dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really liked that. Its always jarring to me when there is a recast in any show so I quite liked that they made a joke of it instead of just carrying on as normal. I can see why others wouldnt really appreciate that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The cast have spoken a lot about how they're a "travelling circus" moving from city to city to city. Every actor needs to be there, but each city has a main focus on a couple of them and the rest of them spend the time sightseeing (and partying) as a gang. It seems to work really well in melding them together as a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that it makes the cast more comfortable with each other during those scenes but it actually provides them excellent opportunity to become more acquainted with mimicry and behavioral tics of one another and emulate that. And several montages in Christmas special truly show that. The birthday one so entertaining and you can't truly fake that. It really works for a show like this.

SpaceChampion Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well, that's perplexing. Makes the special worth it then as an introduction of a new mystery/ability, besides it just being wonderful to see them all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbunting Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ok, I just binged the entire series last week so bear with me because I am sure I will repeat a lot of what has been talked about here already ( I read a few pages of this but will not read all 19 ). The show grabbed me pretty quickly, probably 3rd episode in I was hooked. I really like the actors, everyone of them. I do not however like the replacement VanDamm...something about him just didn't feel right. It's clearly a show that some will hate and stop watching after one episode. The show is definitely different from anything else I have ever watched. The interaction, connections, people, IDK how to describe it. I will say I am not a crier, unless I see someone else crying, but I found myself tearing up a couple times while watching the show, didn't actually cry but for me to get that emotionally into a show or movie is extremely rare. On to a couple questions. Now that whispers has seen through one of them, shouldn't he now know who and where the other 7 are since they have all interacted with each other and each knows and has felt what the others know and feel? This seems like it's going to be a little loose with the way they handle it. The drugs do seem to be a common theme. Drugs of some type have been used, seen, purchased or made in or around each of the 8. Did they ever say who Nomi's parents are? They said they are rich and powerful, maybe a politician or big business CEO(pharmaceutical would tie him in to the drug angle)? Has it been established how to birth a cluster?

I think he can see only what, in this specific case, Will can see. He can visit him whenever he wants, which is why Will is reluctant to visit others. Although, if I were Whospers, I would be watching him quite closely on the day they were all born. 3 hours ago, Dr. Pepper said: It seemed almost like it was a representation of two sense8's operating as one inside Wolfgang at the same time. I am not sure where the confusion came from. For me, it has always been about the spiritual representation of another sensate in different areas, not their astral projection to the place. Yes, the Sun/Wolfgang montage should have been more carefully done, but it is not like it was the first time we have seen one, or all eight of them in one frame.

I don't think anyone is confused about that. They aren't literally at the location with the sensate they are visiting. It's the Wolfgang/Will/Sun fight. It was obviously quite different than other fights or sex scenes and now we have confirmation that it was purposeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
