Old Knudsen Reviews Sense8

Sense8 from the makers of the Matrix. A TV show on Netflix which is cool for so many reasons. The basic story is 8 people who all find they are connected or linked telepathically. All born on the same day in different parts of the world. There has always been their kind on Earth but are they a mutation or the way that humans are supposed to be? If we were all linked we wouldn't be so quick to kill each other.

Each episode visits each character who has their own little story and they come to terms with seeing the strangers in their minds who they sort of know and yet don't. They are able to take advantage of each other's skills as they merge consciousness at random moments or during times of immense stress or need.     

 Daryl Hannah and Sayid from Lost are in it a tiny amount. Does he only play one kind of character? 

Left to right Will a Chicago cop, Nomi who used to be Michael, Sun who is part Jacki Chan, Capheus who drives a bus in Kenya, Wolfgang a German criminal, Kala a chick in India, Lito a macho movie star in Mexico and Riley a hot DJ chick from Iceland. 

It surprised me which I am not used to with TV shows. Freema Agyeman from Dr Who (the David Tennant years) had gone to the gym, used a fake American accent and was fucking the brains out of Nomi with a rainbow coloured strap on ..... Not something Game of thrones has done yet. 

Agyeman tosses said strap on to the floor with a thud and for a split second you can see fanny batter all over it. Watching the leezers kiss at every opportunity was kinda bleh, the ones I liked were.  

The male ghey couple. The macho movie star Lito who was in the closet while staring in action movies as a heart throb for the ladies. He and his boyfriend Hernando are found out by fag hag Daniela who has a dangerous stalker exboyfriend that thinks that Lito is the competition. 

I thought Lito was very well played by Miguel Ángel Silvestre a Spanish actor. He had to play a wide range of emotions and be different in each setting. He does comedy well too.

Wolfgang the German criminal was so so ... until he went out to exact revenge upon his crime boss uncle and cousin. So many movies has the bad guy getting away after a shoot out, Wolfgang instantly earned my respect when he went to the boot and pulled out an RPG ... German planning, ya gotta love it. 

 

Sometimes Sun would jump into the body of Capheus if he needed some extreme fighting skills or if they needed a liar then Lito the actor would appear. 

Other times they'd jump into all the bodies and share consciousness. Will to Lito, "Hey I know you" ... "Yes we had sex."   

Even with what I've written in this post there are many other surprises, it's an interesting show that visits all over the world with a finale in Iceland even though most characters never leave their home countries.  Will it have a second season? It is set up to either continue or not, a second season would have to be very well thought out. A show like this doesn't usually make it to season two but crap like Gotham or Two and a half men do. 

It's made by Andy and Lana Wachowski who made the Matrix movies and J. Michael Straczynski who achieved god status with the geeks when Babylon 5 was relevant helped to write it.

Beautiful Iceland .... not so beautiful when yer out in the cold though. 

The theme that runs through it is that you sometimes have to fight to be yourself as others and life in general often tries to restrict you and make you into something you don't want to be but feel duty bound to be it. 

Peace and happiness only comes when you say "enough" and be who you are, even if it puts your movie career in jeopardy or upsets your family.

Rubba Soles!

# 10 and that terrible Tate woman, everyman's nightmare wife type.


Being a Time lord myself, yes the last of his kind except all the rest of them I have taken much interest in the TV series Doctor Who. I don't really have much time for timelording over others as I use my abilities to blog to excess. I'll be sharing my much valued thoughts about doctors over the next 5 years or 4 minutes to me.

The current doctor # 10 as played by David Tennant who is a Scottish lad that has learned that if you leave the 'er' off certain words such as 'rubber' its pronounced 'rubba' which then sounds the way the southern English speak, (so common) the 7th doctor (Sylvester McCoy) who was a cunt kept his Scottish accent.

Please Billie cover up.

#10 got rid of his companion the troglodyte Billie Piper who was a less famous British version of Britney I suppose, though she wasn't a bad actor, she was just ugly as sin, she used to be so pretty before the alcohol and marrying Chris Evans.

Chocolate hotness.

He then got the very attractive Freema Agyeman who played Martha, a trainee medical doctor with chunky thighs, why can I not get companions like that?

Oh he has also had the very annoying Catherine Tate who just screeches all the way through an episode, she is to make a re-appearance next year when Freema goes elsewhere for a bit, oh great, that Tate woman has the personality of a turd.

Doctor Who is a British institution, scaring children, wobbly walls and papier mache bad guys, I don't know why the BBC canceled it, oh yes I do if you put a twat like McCoy as the doctor and his ugly leezer 'Ace' as a companion no one will want to watch it so it was put onto hold until they made that crap film in 1996, it was great to see McCoy gunned doon in the first 5 minutes though.

I watched this recent episode in which statues of angels came to life and grabbed people, throwing them back to the past. If any living creature looked at these statues they would remain as stone statues, if you blinked or looked away they'd get you as they were very fast. # 10 emphasised how important it was not to blink, it became a point of high tension as the characters tried not to blink.

I'm sitting there being all time lordy myself and say, " why don't they blink each eye alternately? you can moisturize the eye and keep looking at them all day if you wanted, close one eye, open then close the other, repeat as necessary," those of us with OCD do this anyway so its not like we'd look any more stupid than we do.

If you find yerself covered in shit one day then I've just emptied the time toilet.

Oh and when the statues were stone me and my 10 lbs hammer would go to work on them.

# 10 screams a lot and runs away, its always been said that the doctor is a pacifist but he isn't as he lets others kill for him and the bad guy ends up dead or trapped forever in the end. Hes just a hypocritical coward with a sadistic streak. How many lives would be saved if the doctor packed a gun and shot the ugly alien in the first ten minutes? oh no that would be too easy.

Sam D a blogger of Who knowledge has likened him to a wiggle, that's brilliantly true. Maybe it should be a ghey wiggle as he has that Nubian mattress monster who is all hot for him but he does nothing about it, he just wants his fag hags.

Ok then, thats # 10 done which leaves 6 or 7 more to review, do yer own maths .
Dr Who has to fend off some army of invaders every other week, its like Star trek running into a space cloud all the time, 'monsta' of the week, as the sassenachs would say it.

Ok I'm off to my TARDIS for a shite and then I'll jump time and leave the smell behind, oh I've already read yer comments before you've typed them and the lot of you are cunts.
