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.

Amanda in particular gets mentioned a lot, at least I see a lot of that on my timeline, as inspiring because of how she dealt with her pararibulitis (and it's not an illness that the show gets rid of, she just learns to cope with it; granted, in a very DG universe way, but still)

Yeah, I've seen so much love for Amanda everywhere from the fandom because of this, as well. Her illness isn't trivialized and instead of curing it (as most shows often do for any character that has a unique illness or condition that makes them "different" in order to make them "normal") the show emphasizes that it's a part of her and demonstrates how she can manage it. I have yet to watch the show in order properly but I have seen bits and pieces and I already love her relationship with the Rowdy Three because they took her in and treated her as an equal and helped her along her journey.

Hopefully, the petition and good viewing numbers combined, Netflix or some other network will be interested in giving it a home. :D

I'm hoping so, too.

Exactly. Guh, just. Her whole thing is amazing. And yes! The way The Rowdy 3 and her became a group is perfect. So much good stuff. <3

Farah is a great one aswell, though may not get mentioned as much. ? Idk. But she's a bit anxious and she's also badass and not afraid to take the lead on things.

Tbh, all the women are kinda amazing. <3 :D

I sure hope it gets a season 3. Though with a different showrunner, unless things turn out to *not* be true (he's trash, allegedly. blegh. :( ). Someone on twitter said - though jokingly, but maybe only partially xD - that Taika Waititi could take over. Why not, I say, he did great with Thor. xD :D Anyways. At least there are two seasons, which is better than none, and a bit better than only one. :P

I've heard amazing things about all the women on the show, and how they're equally as important. :)

Yeah, I heard about this recently along with everyone else and it's really unfortunate because it seems like he was the one heavily advocating for the show to get renewed. However, just because there are accusations against him of allegedly being horrible doesn't mean the show cannot be renewed without him. The petition itself doesn't even mention him (if it ever did? I can't remember) but instead one of the other producers and executives involved with the show, Arvind Ethan David, which many want him to become the showrunner if the show ends up finding a new home.

Although Taika Waititi would be great too. Fantastic, even. :D

Yuuupppp. But yes, I agree; I think Sleepy Hollow had a change of showrunners after s1? Not for the same reasons, but still. And I *think* The Bold Type has had a make over aswell. So it can certainly be done. And I mean, Doctor Who frequently changes showrunners, so. I really hope it cna be done with DG. :D

I don't know if he was mentioned or not, but I *think* so? I did see a brief twitter convo where someone mentioned that (to the one starting the petition, I think) and they said they'd change it - or had - and include Arvind instead. I'm sure he'd run the show just fine without the other one. ^^
