Sense8 Cast Appreciation:  The Ladies

Okay, this is a bit of a cop out because technically this is three roles, but I couldn’t decide because all of these characters are special to me.

Doctor Who, Rose Tyler: My love of Rose is obviously no secret. She’s one I relate to on a very personal level – a normal girl, raised by a single mother, who feels like she’s never really accomplished anything. She’s made mistakes – and continues to make them – and she’s so human it’s almost painful. Look at this precious little ray of sunshine. She’s lovely in every single way.

Penny Dreadful, Brona Croft: Obligatory#shedeservedbetter hashtag here. Brona was so precious and so sad and so broken. She was Ethan’s innocence in a world that had suddenly turned mad, and she was wonderful. She deserved so much better than she got.

Penny Dreadful, Lily Frankenstein: Lily is the result of all of Brona’s sadness and pain, who also, of course, deserved better than she got. She was brilliant and ambitious, and probably got in a little over her head, but you gotta give her credit: her “kill all men” plan was still pretty great.

The cat has been out of the bag before, and yet, people lose interest and put it back in. People always move on. Sheriff in New Mexico reports a UFO encounter. The crew of the SS Ourang Medan dies mysteriously.
