Episode #288: ‘Sense8’ 2×06 — What genre is it anyway? Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

Join the ReWatchable hosts as they continue their re-watch with Sense8 season 2, episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below.”
Superfans: Mitch and Danielle
Newbies: Caitlin and Natalie
Fun Facts:
Danielle is really excited about her new podcasting microphone. Natalie finally started watching the new iteration of Queer Eye and is really enjoying it. Caitlin is currently finding some (much-needed) happiness in mainlining Holiday Baking Championship on the Food Network. Mitch is crying over the interview between Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet.
Sense8 season 2, episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below”
– Synopsis
– Wait, wait, wait. How did the rave happen? What was the plan and who was ACTUALLY there at the rave?
- Like Jupiter Ascending, Sense8 is very much wish fulfillment and we should just not question this.
- Let's talk about Puck, baby.
- Puck makes Felix look like he should always be walking around in a tuxedo.
- Natalie is 100% here for Mr. Hoy.
- We can imagine the sensates in a variety of different genres because their story covers so many aspects of the human experience.
- Who is the Cannibal?
- Riley is told to go to Chicago... Alone. Why?
- Nomi gets called out as being narcissistic and we all kind of agree on that point. She could've waited 15 minutes, heard her sister out, and not run away from the dress fitting in her underwear to go stomp around the ruins of a cabin in the woods.
- Raoul burns down the cabin, but we can't decide how he was being controlled.
- Seriously, what is UP with Angelica and why is she the WORST?
- Sun's dog crying was the worst thing that happened in this episode because SHE'S SO PRECIOUS.
- We take a detour and talk about London, Primrose Hill, and where exactly Riley and Will are squatting (which is SUPER exciting for those who have never been to London).
- Lito does the São Paulo Pride Parade and it's so lovely.
- Capheus 2.0 is the right iteration of Capheus to run for political office. Capheus 1.0, not so much.
- Zakia's pansexuality is a really interesting layer to add to the show at this point.
- Capheus' mom's stride of pride is definitely note-worthy.
- The Kalagang sex scene is *very* uncomfortable and we hated every minute of it.
- Kala's "fantasy" is really problematic here.
- The Kalagang ship isn't sailing here. At. All.
- Lila kills a LOT of people.
- Favorite Scenes
– Favorite Lines
Listener Feedback:
– This is the Queer Place points out another great line from last week's episode.
- We get an email from a listener going through our Buffy the Vampire Slayer round who has some thoughts on the rules of vampirism. And we have a lot of our own thoughts in return.
Caitlin’s Conjectures and Fisher's Forecasts:
– Sense8 season 2, episode 7, “I Have No Room in My Heart for Hate”

- Synopsis
- Will doesn't have a whole lot to do, but he does escape the museum, so YAY!

- Was Mun the guy Sun lost her virginity to in that flashback we saw in "Happy Fucking New Year"? We discuss.

- Wolfgang is a lot more jaded due to his life experience.
- Lila has definitely made some sort of deal with the BPO to help them track down other sensates.
- Kala and Wolfgang have a moment and we learn that maybe Kala doesn't want to be such a good girl all the time.
- Kala and her mother-in-law go to temple which brings us to the montage of protests, uprisings, and car chases.
- Capheus saves a baby at the water riot, and then goes on TV and says some incredibly moving, relatable things.
- Riley meets a new sensate named Puck who is going to make more blocker pills.
- Kala gets to use all her incredible chemistry knowledge.
- Mitch is grateful that the show questioned the science for him.
- Raoul was zombified, which is why he disappeared and his father never heard back from him.
- This sequence was packed with so much information we all kind of feel like we need to watch again to see all the things we missed.
- Jonas is being lobotomized and Will and Nomi can see it.
- Angelica is confusing the hell out of all of us.
- Favorite Scenes
- A little Nomi talk because we skipped her storyline. Oops.
- Favorite Lines
Listener Feedback:
