Kala: build them a bomb to kill their relatives with

Capheus: run for office

Sun: beat them up

Riley: keep them on drugs

Wolfgang: interrupt their wedding while naked

Will: break them out of captivity

Nomi: commit crimes with them

I didn’t watch it until I saw this ask, but I did and here’s my initial thoughts:

I like it. It looks like we’re gonna see more of the global importance of the sensates (can you imagine if the whole world found out about them??) which sounds pretty cool. I really hope that now we’re gonna get into plot, that it doesn’t take away from the heart of the show: individuals acting as a whole

I see that the LGBT+ theme that made this show popular among the LGBT+ community is still there (was that a pride parade I saw?) with Nomi and her lady and Lito and his main man, so I’m happy that they won’t be pushed to the side like other shows do with their queer characters.

Sun and Capheus’ friendship. Aang and Toph, kill me again Sun’s heart eyes whenever she sees Soo-Jin young Sun and Woojin and “we exist because of sex” I hope she and Capheus won’t become a couple, I like their friendship much more. 

“Something looks different about you, Capheus...” “New barbershop?”  Seriously though, I love Toby as Capheus, he fits very naturally. I didn’t notice the difference at all. How must he feel about Silas Kebaka and his mother, though?! serious WTF-moment there Lito. Oh, Lito. So many feelings here. Can we all agree that Hernando is just the most perfect man ever? The way he shut that hater down... And his unwavering support. Just... #goals I love how they showed how much words can hurt. Our generation is often accused of being overly sensitive and easily offended, but that scene with the paparazzi really showed how triggering and hurtful words can be.

Will and Riley in Amsterdam! So funny to see them in Holland- though it must be a fake set, we haven’t had snow and ice in years :( And there even was some spoken Dutch! Too bad the conversation was about drugs though, we already have such a reputation XD But hearing Riley say “geweldig” (awesome), with a hard g even, made me smile really wide.  Nomi and Amanita... not much to comment on, really. They didn’t get that much of a storyline, though I do think the shelter they went to is very very cool and shows the importance of safe spaces.  And Amanita is still the sexiest creature alive next to Lito and Hernando and Kala and Wolfgang and 

Speaking of sexy. I loved the orgy scene, of course, but it did feel like repeating a fan favourite. Like I’d seen it before- not that it’s a bad thing of course! But it felt like they just included it because they thought the audience expected it? It didn’t really add anything to the story the way the first orgy scene did. It also raises the question whether it’s going to be like that every time one of them has sex. That’s going to be a wild ride then. Same with the Hallelujah scene, that was so similar to the Beethoven concert scene- not that it didn’t sent shivers down my spine and brought tears to my eyes, but still- just something I noticed. shoutout to Leonard Cohen Anyway, very powerful cinematography all around.
