The thing about the competition line and the scoff we don't talk about enough is how the two together actually imply that Eddie is in love with Buck not the other way around. And this coming from Tommy, someone who clocked Buck as queer before Buck clocked himself, has weight to it. Tommy more implied that Eddie would eventually want to swoop in and take Buck and Buck would let him. He cut his losses in 806 because he knew that with Eddie around, eventually Buck and Eddie would get there and he didn't want to be the casualty of the situation. But if Eddie isn't physically around, then the opening for Eddie to swoop in is smaller, so he has better chances of not losing the competition he's been playing since he kissed Buck the first time fully aware Buck is batshit insane about Eddie. He can live with the ghost since he thinks the ghost has a lot less power to create problems. But the implication that Eddie isn't straight coming from the guy that dragged Buck out has a lot of weight attached to it. Weight Buck himself can't handle. Not just because in some senses Tommy is exposing Eddie's sexuality before Eddie is ready and that makes Buck defensive, but also because the only reason Buck can't look at how he feels about Eddie is because of his perceived straightness. Buck's whole defense is tied to it being impossible. If it's not impossible, then he has to think about it, and if he has to think about it, then he will want it, and Buck doesn't cope well with wanting things. So Buck can't think about the guy that noticed he was queer noticing Eddie is as queer. Because if Tommy was right about him, then what if he's right about Eddie? And if he's right about Eddie, then what does that mean for the two of them? And that makes the scoff the most awesome thing.

eddie dragged his broken and beaten body all around an unfamiliar state, jumped out a window, borrowed a horse, stole a car, held a woman at gunpoint, used that same woman as a shield to hold her ex-husband at gunpoint, ran toward buck and away from cops holding HIM at gunpoint, and then when it was all said and done drove them ten hours back to the safety of LA with that same broken and beaten body. no one can EVER say he doesn't love buck exactly as much as buck loves him

All of the storylines in Sense8 are so good!!!!

Like Will being a police officer and it's still a story that's quite critical of the police. The awareness that he is a good person who just happens to be a police officer, not saying that he is a good person because he is a police officers.

Riley's storyline is just????? god rewatching knowing what happened to her I'm like oh my god everyday must be so hard and I just love her so much. Just the way they portray her depression, how she spaces out and uses music to shut herself off and keep herself safe!!

Kala and her confliction about the fact that she doesn't love Rajan. And the way she learns to love him and it's not framed as oh he's so good to her he deserves this it's just? about her and how when given the space to get to know this person she finds that she really does like him.

Wolfgang's whole story seems like it should be such a macho storyline but it's not. Like he loves to sing and he's the one they turn to when they want someone fearless but then he can't lie to his family because he's scared???? And then Lito helps him?? Oh my god I cried.

Capheus and his just infectious joy for life and the way he cares so much. What he's going through is so hard and scary and yet he's so often upbeat and always willing to help others. The fact that Nomi doesn't know how to drive so he takes over because he's incredible at it? Such a beautiful example of how they cover each other I love it.

Sun being such a badass? And also like the way she's overlooked so often and looked down upon. Despite frequently being the most capable person in the room. The double life she lives and the way every woman can relate to her storyline despite the fact that it is a wildly specific situation.

AND FINALLY MY BELOVED QUEER CHARACTERS (with the acknowledgement that I do believe every main character in this show is queer but Nomi and Lito have the storylines that revolve around it).

LITO. God just his entire storyline of hiding this huge part of who he is because he's scared of the backlash. And the fact that this leads to him hurting the person who he loves the most. And of course it's understandable that he fears the backlash it's shown to be terrible but the way that while going through all of that horrible shit he discovered how brave he can truly be even when he's not acting. And he uses that bravery to help the people he loves (specifically Daniella and Wolfgang).

The way the show portrays the violation of being forcibly outed and how it affects Lito and his loved ones is heartbreaking and beautiful. The way amidst all the pain, his community rallies around him. And Hernando's reaction to his student putting up that photo of him and Lito? The dignity he maintains even though if I remember correctly that's the first he's seeing about this. The way he spins it to show his audience that sex is not gross or dirty, it can be passion and love and pleasure.

Nomi's storyline being so informed by the fact that she is trans while her character is not monopolised by it. She is a computer whiz, she used to be a hacktivist, she can't drive, she got arrested (several times)!!! Like she's a fully fleshed out character!! And she is also trans and a lesbian and her storyline is about that!! It's about her relationships with her family and Amanita. It's also about her committing cyber crimes!!

Amanita is one of my favourite characters she's such a badass she's so protective but she's not so protective that it stops Nomi from having the space to defend herself. She steps in because Nomi deserves to have someone defend her and shouldn't have to deal with people attacking her but she also steps back when asked.
