Each member of the cluster helps Will bust Riley out of the building; Lito uses his power of charisma to find out where Riley is being held, Sun beats the ever loving crap out of the guards, Kala concocts a drug combination to revive Riley.
I don't think the nefarious organization is out to kill, only lobotomize, which they may not have down pat. Who is Whispers? Should we trust Jonas? BPO seems like an end justifies the means corp and they are probably using the current sens8s they can capture for research to benefit the main offshoot of humanity.I always thought Dr. Matheson/Whispers is experimenting on the sensates for a different purpose, and not all of the sensates he experimented on lived.I think maybe he's trying to achieve the ability to share a sensates body from another cluster (as he can only visit), like what happened with Niles (or that sensate that Nomi visited I can't remember his name.. )It's really really subtle but I think one of the first instances when the sensates actually shared abilities was when Wolfgang cracked the safe. Who hasn’t wished for dudes to be able to experience the heinous suffering of menstruation?Revenge fantasies allow the story to subvert tropes and are emotionally satisfying. I like how sayid teases him in the final episode when he being outplayed.From what I've gathered, his corporation is basically a front for a joint sensate hunting agency set up by multiple countries' intelligence agencies who feel fundamentally threatened by the possibility of sensates facilitating leaks that would question/damage/destroy the status quo. When Daniela discovers that Lito is gay and has a boyfriend, it was a moment when the story could have devolved into a soap opera of hurt feelings and betrayal but instead became an exhilarating and adorable story about a woman who loves to watch gay men have sex and the gay men who love her enough to let her watch.When Nomi becomes a Sensate and develops symptoms that seem psychotic in nature, Amanita could have left her because it was too much or too weird but instead embraces her neurodiversity and loves her even harder. Amanita deliberately chooses a fancy red sports car for Will to drive in Iceland. He connected with Riley while he was cracking it which led to him beating his asshole father in the safecracker game.I don't think they wanted to kill them?
When Sun goes to prison it could have been a horror show of privation and humiliation but instead becomes a commentary on patriarchal oppression with moments of warmth and humour. It feels as though Sense8 wasn’t expecting to get renewed for a second season and hastily wrapped up the episode with a cheesy scene where the entire cluster sails off into the sunset. For what purpose, though, that's yet to be given. Why does he want the brains of Sensates? This is revealed by the Mother,a sensate heading the Lacuna who gave birth to Whisper's cluster Jonas made a promise to Angelica, though, and he kept it by blowing up the facility where Whispers kept the drones, therefore stopping his plan in its tracks. He's obviously more experienced but the main threat is that he's using his abilities to hunt down and harm our cluster. It was said that he is a sensate, but why is he so dangerous? Whispers killed all the other seven members of his cluster hence he is also known as Cannibal. And when the guy hunting you down has the full backing of homeland security (I think?) Here are our favourite things from 2015 Riley has lost her husband and child and overcoming that pain gives her the strength to extricate them from their perilous situation.Will jeopardized the safety of the entire cluster when he accidentally made eye contact with Whispers, who can, for no reason we are ever given, climb into your brain if you look into his eyes. Half of the cluster are people of colour and so is much of the supporting cast.Kala’s science background finally comes in handy. Sense8 season one wraps up with a lot of violence, zero mysteries explained and a crap load of questions. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts If you want something more practical she is more resistant to drugs, and she has good hearing(possibly why Wolfgang got to crack the safe).Riley's power like many other people said is not just music, it's nurturing, she's like a mother to the group, she connects them. Whispers was an enigmatic sensate whom had been speculated to have slaughtered his own clustermates under the guise of scientific discoveries. Leaving aside the question of why (seriously, answer that question in this season), you are now doomed to be chased by people who clearly mean you harm. )Anyway, I think if Whispers/BPO simply wanted to kill the sensates, there is no point in wanting to keep them and lobotimize them, etc.I think this is very likely -- he's obviously getting old and maybe he wants to find a way to permanently possess a new body, Malkovich style.Riley seems to be the glue that holds them together, makes all 8 of them a cohesive unit.
In many stories, the hero is a man who has lost his wife and/or child and this narrative prop allows him to forge his path and overcome obstacles. Will takes himself out of the game by rendering himself unconscious.
