What it means to be a fangirl.

++ We got a brief behind-the-scenes sneak peek into the Sense8 special finale, which while there are brief glimpses into what they may have filmed the video is mostly them talking about how grateful they are to be back and appreciating the fans and the connection they feel with everyone, and it's honestly so beautiful. I love these people so much and while Sense8 deserved much better than what Netflix did to them, the fact we're getting this finale movie at all is a miracle in itself. And just seeing all of them back together, from the BTS pictures and such they've been posting over the last several months, has been amazing to see. Like, we fans did that. ❤

++ However, in some sad news, it appears that BBC America has cancelled Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I had just gotten into this show recently and I heard rumor that it was on the bubble (probably due to it not being properly advertised and international viewership not being counted), but I thought that unlike most networks that it would at least have another season. But I guess not everything is like Orphan Black, despite being just as unique and engaging and a has strong loyal fanbase. There is already a petition to help get it renewed and move elsewhere. As always it's not a guarantee, but if we've learned anything by now is that we have to at least try.

Dirk Gently didn't even get shown over here, so much for it being the BBC. I was always surprised they were remaking it so soon, especially as the other series got rave reviews but was also cancelled. That had a petition set up too but it didn't make any difference.

I know that most times petitions don't always work, but it can sometimes (ex: Sense8 being one of the rare examples). With enough noise of fan campaigning it can get the attention of networks and get to the showrunners/cast. Already the petition itself has been growing significantly since it was first started a couple of days ago, and continues to grow. Fans just do what they can and hope for the best.
