I thought the whole “Riley freezes up” bit to be lame, silly, and certainly anticlimactic.

They didn’t even need to do that. 2 characters exchanged phone numbers in one of the earlier episodes and confirmed it that way.

You couldn’t tell from the voice?

God I hope so.

There is no spoon.

“The He-Man video with a remix of What’s Up on YouTube is still the best ever use of that song, sorry Sense 8.”

Yes! ♫Amanita is the name, the flowers cover everything♫

Agreed.

Yeah that really really bugged me. Manufactured danger to provide the threat of taking someone’s identity away, when that could never legally happen in the the real world. Just seemed like a huge cheat/lazy/political shoehorn.

Agreed 100%.

I had a friend from MC who spoke perfect english like that. They had a big house and a gardener/maid there.....moved here and could only afford a 2 bedroom house that looked like a crackerjack box in comparison. It didn’t seem to bother them a bit. :)

I thought of that too. He should’ve pulled a hamstring or something.

Oh yeah. Almost killed the show for me.

This.

Darn! I’m American and it didn’t work for me....I just assumed it was aimed at a Latino audience.

I really don’t care for the song, other than the He-Man version on youtube, and found the whole thing super corny, but I’m glad it worked for some of my ilk.

Same here. I almost gave the show up completely, but my wife really likes it and wanted to show it to me, so I’m staying onboard, like a trouper (it’s not trooper, right? LOL).

I never expected to, and my expectations were not subverted.

Let it go.

Snark grade A+. Comparing to Coke commercial is perfect. Even better than a Benetton commercial reference.
