Orphan Black was the best show currently on television and why haven't you watched it yet?

[X-SOLDIER]

Thank you for the title update, Aaron. Made my day.

Fix the typo, it's driving me nuts.

 

[Ⓐaron]

dammit, I didn't even notice that

 

[X-SOLDIER]

HOLY FUCK. I CAN'T EVEN.
I JUST CAN'T.
THAT WHOLE EPISODE.

Spoiler

So much to say, but my phone's dying. Of all the excellent moments, Scott learning Cosima was 324B21 was probably my favourite.

[Ⓐaron]

Holy shit, just when I thought I couldn't love this show any more. Possibly the best episode to date.

Spoiler

I really hope we see more of Tony because goddamn.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Seriously. Is there anything that she can't do?

Spoiler: This was the dumbest thing I saw on tumblr though.

People complaining about cis actors playing trans characters. It's like they don't even watch the show - NO ONE BUT TATIANA PLAYS HER CLONES. That's kind of the whole point of the show. I fucking hate when people get mad about positive representation like Tony over something like that.

[Ⓐaron]

I was pretty annoyed that

Spoiler

some people were bitching that Tony didn't look male enough when the show went out of its way to indicate that he was still in the process of transitioning. Or did they miss the whole thing with him still injecting testosterone? People don't understand anything about trans* individuals apparently.

Notes from the creators on the latest episode. Spoilers, obviously.

 

[Carlie]

Just here to let you guys know that I've watched the first 5 episodes of season 1.

Great news indeed.

Here's a thing from Orphan Black's science consultant (after whom the character Cosima is named). I think it has spoilers too. There are a bunch more pages to this document which you can see using the navigation thing above the comments.

OMG

Spoiler

I QUIT! You know how people don't usually laugh when they are on their own, I've just laughed for about 6 1/2 minutes!

Preview of tomorrow's episode. Spoilers, obviously.

This about last week's episode may be of interest to people too.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Another sneak peek. Spoilers again, obviously.

So much badassery in this episode.

Spoiler

• I have never loved Helena more than in this episode. "There was a woman in convent like you. You touch her again and I will gut you like a fish." And her rescue of Gracie at the end of the episode. Just amazing. I won't be surprised if she ends up coming to Sarah's rescue at the end of next episode somehow.
• Donnie. "My ass it is! Beth Childs' police business? How about Art Bell? Suspended for doing far less than this. All these women and you just can't put it together, can ya? You don't want to know what we know and if you come near my home or my family again, I will bury you. Smile. Have a shitty day!"
• I loved how Alison and Donnie both managed to help each other keep their shit together when the other was about to break down.
• Let's not forget Kira. Possibly the most badass character in the entire show.
• I knew Rachel was going to be up to no good and I kind of suspected she'd end up impersonating Sarah to kidnap Kira but even so that was heinous.

This show never disappoints.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Shit damn, that episode was IN.TENSE.


Will post specifics when I've collected my thoughts.

Wow, this episode.

Spoiler

- Helena's been awesome this whole season, but this episode was particularly glorious.

I won't be surprised if she ends up coming to Sarah's rescue at the end of next episode somehow.

Yeah, I think there's a pretty good chance of Helena saving the day. Especially since she already showed she can potentially take Rachel out no problem a few episodes ago.

- Rachel is such an A+ villain, the scene in the screening room was great. I also love how Kira was far more wary of her than she ever was of Helena who was an actual serial killer. Did she kidnap Kira for her own purposes or for DYAD (or both)? She's clearly obsessed with control, which she's been losing ever since the start of the season (Sarah beating her up, Leekie going behind her back about the treatment, the revelations about her past, trying to let Leekie escape, ect), so I feel like she could have her own agenda or something. But, then again, she could be the one character who doesn't reclaim agency.

- I'm almost more worried for Delphine than for Cosmia at this point, since I wouldn't imagine Rachel will let her continue at DYAD.

- How exactly did Henrik fit into the Prolethean hierarchy (are they even a properly organized cult ? ) - are there more factions out there? Also, did he have any sort of ultimate plan or purpose in mind for Helena's kids, or was he just being a huge creep?

Will probably post full thoughts once I get to work but a very important cameo happened this episode:

Spoiler

The midwife in the episode is Tatiana Maslany's body double: http://m.imdb.com/name/nm3044043/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
