Best news of the week, of the month, of the year so far!!!! Thank you Hybridcookie!!!!

Is there a way to candidate Sense8, or the cast (actors and technical), for some awards? Or do the candidatures to the awards pass all through the industry? Because it would be irony if the show wins awards.

Now, that just interesting, because according to Brian J Smith the show was canceled due to poor ratings... Perhaps Netflix ratings were poor, but the show was on a lot of streaming net sites. Or perhaps it's just a publicity stunt, I was wondering as well.

I read somewhere earlier that it was 9M per episode. I just found this and this. Sense8 was expensive, but not that much, in comparison to other series.

This petition was in a comment on the Sense8 FB page. This one was on Tumblr. I've used my Twitter account for (probably) the second time in my life hashtagging #bringbacksense8.

I can't even find the words to say what I feel (except for nasty ones...) Do you think they'll make dvds of the two seasons? Does Netflix do that?

After the third (or fourth? I lost count! LOL) rewatch, I'm not entirely sure Rajan is collaborating with the police. He came home from travel and said nothing until he opened his friend's present, when he took some time to think and then told about the collaboration thing. Hum. Perhaps the gift was a coded message for a menace and decided to invent the collaboration cover story in order to save Kala without confessing his involvement with the bad guys? I mean, we already know he was doing bad things shipping the expired drugs. We also know that he was arguing to someone on the phone and he said to leave his family alone. So, seems like he was being threatened for stepping out from the expired drugs business (or other dirty business). It's just a speculation, though, based on the fact that my thimbs pricked when I watched (again and again!) that scene. Although it would certainly be easier to support Kala if he was a bad guy, I've always thought that good or bad, if you don't love someone, why should you stay with them? Plus, I ship Kala and Wolfgang together since the beginning, because, among other reasons, there a fantastic example that love is blind and takes no account of tastes, morals, cultures, etc.

I don't think there will be a language issue, as they all speak English. Nomi and Will are English speaking mother tongue; Riley has lived in the UK; Lito is in Hollywood and speaks in English; Kenyan official languages are Swahili and English, so Capheus speaks at least the basics; regarding Kala, educated Indians speak perfect English; I would be astonished if Sun doesn't speak English, given she worked in finance (and a multinational company, I presume) and most Europeans second language is English, so I assume Wolfgang speaks it, albeit perhaps not fluently. That said, they can always communicate telepathically, as they do when apart, so no problem! I guess that Wolfie is in another place, and I think Kala wouldn't stop looking for him. Anyway, I'm on my second rewatch and I see a third one coming! Great show, one of the best of the last 5 years!

Second sneak peek

Actually, according to Wikipedia and other sources, the black and white keffiyeh doesn't belong to Palestinians only, it's also worn in Yemen (and it's originally from Iraq). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh https://www.quora.com/Is-the-black-and-white-keffiyeh-always-a-show-of-solidarity-with-the-Palestinians-or-is-it-sometimes-just-a-non-political-fashion-choice I was wondering what language they were speaking, so thank you closed captioning. This adhere to the idea Dalton had.

The forum is finally back!! I missed you guys!!!

Welcome, prodanglais! Fellow (kinda) linguistic here, I have a degree in Germanic philology :) Languages and words are my passion, so much that I became a therapist, where understanding words is important! To everybody. I'm back to my lurking mode and participate very little to the different discussions.I consider myself a rabid spoliers reader (perhaps because I don't like susprises?!) and a GA viewer. All your theories and speculations are interesting, but I couldn't make one up for the love of me!!

Send it to Paris, France, please, where in 15 years I've been here it has snowed twice (and both times not even a couple of inches!)!

Saw The Force Awakens last week,followed by three nights binge watching the firsts trilogy (4, 5, 6). For the moment I'm not watching the prequel trilogy because my brother has kidnapped and lost the first DVD and I don't want to buy it again!!! Anyway, waiting for you guys to see it and then talk about it! I'm at the airport, going home for Christmas, and it's so empty! First time I see so little people in here! I wish you all a merry and serene Christmas, happy Holidays or winter break!

Alex is the diminutive of my name, Alessandra :) Not enough imagination to come out with a nick! Even if, I have to say, Alex is a diminutive and my professional name (used to work with anglophone people and they like diminutives!), it became a sort of alias, my professional self :) I'm a very lazy knitter too... Been doing a vest (jumper without sleeves) for more than a year. Completed the back, half way to the front, but as I'm negate to count the lines, I don't know where I have to start to increase... Should take a couple of classes, I really should! Also, I haven't written here in ages. I read almost daily, but I don't have anything to add.

Please Dani ! I'm very happy for you and wish joy to both of you!

I seem to remember that the page with the door was quite torn (ears in the corners), while the page Henry gives to Regina in the Sneak Peek seems new. Or at least, this is the first thing I thought: "The page is not torn".

4x15 is yesterday episode, at least for previously and imdb because they consider 4x08 part 1 and 2 as 4x08 and 4x09. It's clearly not like this for A&E and I'd like everyone took it in account. I mean, the guys twit the scripts with the episode number!!!

Well, wasn't she going to turn dark? Here we go.

Oh Dani-Elle. I'm so so sorry. {{{{{{{{{{Dani}}}}}}}}}}

How funny!! My Rob Brezsny horoscope for this week says (bold mine): Sounds familiar, doesn't it?!

This should go in the media thread, but the 13th photo is a spoiler. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/tv/a37210/once-upon-a-time-cleavage/ Stacey, please feel free to move this post if you think it belongs there indeed.

As I am a kind of occasional viewer (even if I'm following you guys in this forum!) I know that I'll have them wrong, but it was fun to try!

(methinks he says it ironically and winking to David!) Edited to change layout, I like YaddaYadda's one!

Different variations in sex, as mentioned above, exist since sex exists. They were perhaps condemned by religions and morals, by they existed. Sex for pleasure has existed since forever. In the wedlock and outside it. Condoms are at least 4 centuries old and we can go back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Roman Empire for pregnancy prevention (thus demonstrating that sex was for pleasure). --- I finally watched the episode. I'm sorry if I'm not going to quote other posters, I wrote this while watching the episode. I hadn't noticed before that Rupert Penry-Jones is in the opening credits. Yay, him for all season (or at least most of it) plus Toby Stephens, I'm a happy woman! For the first time I realized what a "granite expression" is, by watching Fint's face after Silvers "It must be awful being you". Love in an English aristocrat 18th century family seems unlikely to me. Lors Ashe could pay the ransom for convenience (as someone else said above), but I hardly believe he would pay it for love for his daughter. As for Vane being an illetterate, it's possible, but shouldn't a captain be able to read charts and maps? How delusional is Max thinking that Anne would choose her over Jack? Watching Max instruct the new recruit, I got the impression that Jack understood how Maw is good to seducing people and how Anne have been seduced. A lieutenant ordering a Lord to leave his house? That is something I hardly believe. Apparently Lord Hamilton too. I don't know if this has been mentioned in other threads, but I find interesting that many characters are historical figures, but in name only, as most of the facts have been changed (Lord Hamilton junior was sent to Naples, not the Carribbeans. He indeed married Catherine Barlowe, but the marriage lasted 24 years, until her death). On a mundane note, I finally understood what would happen to my hair if I didn't go to the hairdresser once in awhile: I have the same curly hair as Luke Arnold, just shorter and with more ringlets!

Actually, he really is blind in his right eye. (article mentioning it) I'm so relieved Ned Low is gone, I skipped episode 2 because I couldn't stand him and then binge watched when I read in here he was dead.
