Finally got around to watching the Sense8 series finale. IT WAS SO GOOD!! I think my favorite part was the fact that Sun and Detective Mun wore couples outfits – so sweet! Bae Doona really is amazing.
I have mixed feelings about the ending, and the show in general. I started Season1 last year, with my boyfriend, and we both felt the show took way too long to truly “take off”, in terms of their powers and enemies and the overall plot. Sure, we love the strong LGBTQ stories, but in terms of the main plot ( From Google: “The story of Sense8 begins when the psychic connection of eight strangers from different cultures and parts of the world is “birthed” by a woman called Angelica, who kills herself to avoid capture by a man named Whispers”), it took waaaaaay too long!! I mean, it literally didn’t properly kick in until Season 2, and by then, it felt like we were scrambling to catch up on lost time.
Then Season 3 was cancelled, and there was the promise of a movie (Last Ep). and the movie took what seemed like forever to come out (understandably so), so by the time we sat down to watch it, we were a little lost and not as engaged.
Doona Bae remains my fav character, she and Wolfgang.
For me, it was all about the characters and less the sci-fi aspect or even plot. It was so wonderful to see the characters grow and show such a diverse and amazing cast. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see Wolfgang patting the bed for Rajan to come over for some sexy time. I actually clapped! I look at the finale as the best they were able to offer considering the circumstances, I try not to imagine what could have been if we had gotten a full season.
@silentbeluga You were so right!! Does happy dance! They got together!!! ☺️ Sun and Mun – I love the name pairing (aside – my friend is named Sun and she married a Moon) 😄🌞🌙💕
I know, right? I saw him show up in Paris all romantic and like… “I’ve missed you” and basically melted. I wish we had the same emotional payoff for ALL the couples/relationships (I still think the Wolfgang/Kala conflict could have been resolved with a little bit more care and a bit more agency on her part) but overall, I’m very happy with what they did 🙂
*still sad over how this show got cheated of all the great relationship developement* That Season 3 would have been sooooooo good ! @umbrellaman@silentbeluga

Agree. But they could only do so much in 2 ½ hours, so I am very forgiving.
