I just noticed that the writers offed a grand total of three clones in just one season. Better not get too enamored of Sarah/Alison/Cosima. It looks like the show could pull the rug from under any of them at any given moment and move on with it.
Sarah probably has more plot armour but I'm glad they didn't go with the "you are special because you are the original" route. They didn't really talk much about Rachael but I have to assume she is either an earlier batch and one of the few they raised with full awareness which is interesting. Would be interested to see which batch of clones Sarah/Cosima/Alison/Katja/Beth were from.

I get the impression that Cos desperatedly needs someone in her life and thought she could play with fire or at least give it a try and see if Dauphine was a monitor. She's all brains and brawns, but there's something lonely and slightly sad to her.

I think we've all had our "It's a bad idea to bang this person... but I really want to bang this person." moments.

I think Cosima thought she could handle it but she truly liked Delphine and it was probably confusing for her. Though it appears Delphine is on her side.

I think I'm more appalled at what the hell Sarah ever saw in Vic.

What bothered me was that I get it in concept, but in execution, saying "I think I have a handler problem" then going after Delphine as a viable love interest wasn't the best way to handle that story.

So apparently filming of S2 will begin in september. Also, Anyanka is a fan of Felix. Then again, who isn't?

On any other show the actress playing Sarah would be so pissed she is not on anyone's favourite list while she is the lead of the show.

'What ? Helena the psycho killer is more popular then me ??? Get me the showrunners NOW, I demand a rewrite !'

Trudat.

That said, as a frustrated (more like early aborted) scientist with a motormouth and crazy hands I just find Cos super relatable. It's like I'm watching a clone of my former self, only that she's a girl and I'm nowhere near as attractive.

We both like wominfolk, though, so there's that.

I'd love to see Tat getting an Emmy nom as leading and supporting actress just for shit and giggles. Minds would be blown everywhere.

Alison's gonna do some bad things to all yall bitches

Any day, baby.

Oh shiiiitttt... that would be amazing.

For those who care, composer Trevor Yuile has a bunch of his Orphan Black tracks at SoundCloud. They are not exactly new, but I didn't see them anywhere else. He's made a terrific job with the soundtrack, BTW.

Edit: I see the season's finale track (damn gorgeous) was posted a few pages back.

I would love it if they would put up an extended track of the intro / theme song.

Huffington Post on the Canadianess(?) of the series:

- Could Orphan Black Have Been a Game-Changer?
Like the article reads, Flashpoint had the same problem. Well, the words "Toronto" showed up but no one ever really ever said it was Toronto despite all the Toronto-isms. Does Rookie Blue make the same mistake, for anyone watching it? (only ever caught the pilot).

It's weird because Orphan Black clearly has really strong Torontoisms attached to it (like calling Scarborough, 'Scarberia' which is pretty damn local) but never say it aloud, which is a shame I think if they have to film it in Toronto and won't say a damn word but people get along fine using BC to be nearly any west coast city you can think of.

It's odd, because I think most viewers of the show would understand that moving from the UK to Canada makes just as much sense, if not more, than moving to the US. It also helps to know what laws you're dealing with, and Beth was a cop, so it very easily could have mattered.

I need to stop reading articles about Emmy noms, because the odds against Tatiana are way high, sadly. She seems to be everybody's darling ATM, but she also happens to be in a small Canadian show that airs on BBC America. Sigh.

That said, my current TV schedule is pretty crap ATM. Now that I'm done with Orphan Black all there's left is Under the Dome (neat), Defiance (eh) and Falling Skies (ugh). I guess I could try True Blood, but last season went full retard (it's fun and I'm glad the show doesn't take itself seriously, but COME ON).

Start watching Teen Wolf if you haven't, Funky.
 
Just finished this season. Pretty good, some cheesy moments which comes with the territory on tv but overall quite entertaining. Then I google/youtube this actress and

HOLY FUCK THIS BITCH IS CANADIAN? WTF? GIVE HER ALL THE AWARDS. ALL OF THEM

I thought her natural accent was English, because at times Alison's accent would slip slightly into british. I thought it was just a common actor mistake but wtf she was just slipping into her fake accent.

Natalie Portman and others in Hollywood should be ashamed of themselves for their joke performances in stuff like V for Vendetta. This woman put them on notice.

Alison was my favorite personality
Kasema was the hottest (dat glasses and braids look)

Helena was kinda cheesy but had her moments
 
O_O who's the casting director for this show. how the hell did they dig these two up?

lmao tatyana was the corny voice of "Tatiana" in Eastern Promises (great great film btw). That's pretty funny. If this woman doesn't get cast in films ASAP I'm gonna be pissed.
