shadowscast: First Slayer shadow puppet (Default)
As I've mentioned before in this space, I've been doing a Sense8 rewatch with [personal profile] the_shoshanna.

Today we watched the first half of the two-hour special that went in between season 1 and season 2, "Happy F*cking New Year". Which included the birthday dance party sequence.

And it occurred to me: I don't think that any other show I've seen has ever achieved such incredible sustained periods of transcendent joy. Like, going on for minutes and minutes, and bringing happy tears to my eyes and giving me ALL THE FEELS.

(I think this show also had the most complicated filming situation of any show ever. Filming not episode-by-episode but continent-by-continent, flying the entire cast from city to city to film the ends of sentences that they'd started months ago in different time zones. I am in awe.)

I've just started a Sense8 rewatch with [personal profile] the_shoshanna (in which we watch separately but simultaneously in our own homes while voice-chatting on Zoom—you know, like all the cool kids these days). So far we've just watched the first episode, but I'm really looking forward to continuing. We have each already seen the whole series, so we can do full spoiler discussion mode, which is a lot of fun.

Speaking of which: spoilers behind the cut! )

The one technical difficulty that I had was that the audio from the Zoom session was coming in a bit softer than the audio from the show, so I had a little trouble hearing [personal profile] the_shoshanna—if I turned up my system volume enough that I could hear her easily, the show was too loud. But immediately after we finished I did a little research and discovered that (unsurprisingly) it's possible to separately adjust the volume of different apps. (I mean, I figured it would be, I just didn't know how—it wasn't something that I'd ever needed to do before!) So I'm all set for next time! :)
