Hah, Felix has some of the best one-liners in the show.
Such a good episode, tonight. This ride is getting wilder by the week. Love it!
Her kids even have a different ethnicy then her, so they are obviously adopted. It must have been said in the first season, but I'm not sure right now when exactly.
Also, I love how evil are the new bad guys. They are super creepy and i hope something bad happens to then in this season, hopefully by Helena.

Tomas got Chigurh'd, ouch.
That's what I was thinking. At least Anton had the decency to look you in the face while doing it.
Also is Felix showing his butt going to be a thing now? :lol

I'm pretty sure it was a thing in the first season too.

This experiment fucking sucks and the people doing it are incompetent.
"You're gay?!?!" Ummm... Shouldn't you know that?
"You're gay?!?!" Ummm... Shouldn't you know that?
It could've been Rachel's awkward attempt at small talk.
She was obviously being a jerk.
That's how I interpreted it.
She certainly already knew Cosima was gay, but Rachel seems to be fascinated by all of the ways the clones differ.
Yeah, Mrs. S surprised me with her badassery.
Stabbed that ladies' hands into the table, and THEN blew her head off.
I thought Mrs. S was one of the Project Leda scientists...but now she's like some sort of assassin.

Agreed.
The hand stabbing was especially brutal. Yeah her motivations aren't totally clear yet, but she's way more interesting now.

This show is like a heavenly drink. Tatiana is an acting goddess sent from Above. The appearance of Mrs. S and Kira had me roaring.

It was kind of hard to hear but she basically asked why the lady had betrayed her. The answer was money.

Money and God basically. She sold them out to the Proletheans, and after she says they never got paid for their freedom fighting she asks what type of abomination she brought into the house.
I mean, shit.
What a fantastic hour of television. Fast paced, smart, funny, tense... a ton of intrigue and some amazing performances.
This show!

Man. What. I decided to dive into this show two days ago - I'm already caught up to the latest episode. Now I can't binge watch and have to wait for next week, this is the worst. I don't even realize it's the same actress anymore being like half the cast, she's so damn good at making each clone distinct and even more importantly be able to interact with the others so smoothly. And god it's so refreshing to watch a show that drops bombs almost every episode, no nine episodes of buildup and one huge payoff, just constant payoff that one-ups itself each week.
Random question: anyone else get Children of Men vibes a ton from Orphan Black? The latest episode especially kept making me think back to it, with the whole safe house in the woods/Mrs. S. dealings.

They want Helena and he was a threat to that. His views didn't match the views of that branch of the group.

For sure. Those scenes definitely gave off a sort of post apocalyptic survivalist vibe.

Tomas had no appreciation for science's place while they (the ones at the farm) did ("religion without science is blind"). It was also obvious he wanted only to continue using Helena as he always had; the ones that killed him were very interested by her biology and seem to have a different purpose in mind for her beyond brainwashed clonesassin. I'm super excited about the direction they went with the Proletheans, if they would have all been of Tomas's pure fanatic ilk they would have been boring - now I'm actually interested to see what they're really after.
Yeah, the safehouse scenes did. Though in Children of Men, they just came off as being nuts, and not working for a shady at best organization like the Proletheans here.
This show branched out like crazy in one episode! Forgot about Tomas and hoped he was dead and buried. At least they brought him back to set up this much more interesting villain with higher goals for Helena. Still, we're layers into the conspiracy show path where every new villain just has me wondering who's above him. Leekie's feeling like a mid-level player now after being last year's top creep.
So is everyone, including Cosima, centrally located in one metro area now? (Fauxronto?)

Mannnn, I really don't know how to feel about this show. On the one hand, I genuinely enjoy watching it a lot of the time, yet on the other, I find it so tonally schizophrenic, corny and idiotic that I can't help but cringe or wonder just what the hell I'm watching.
The recent developments in particular are doing absolutely nothing for me. I'm getting serious 'The Walking Dead Governor vibes', which scares me.
If I didn't find Cosima so incredibly attractive (significantly more so than the other clones, strangely enough), I'd have probably bailed out by now. Mrs. S, too; she's a stone-cold fox.

I'm caught up! And my opinion stands, God this show is is good.
I'm not the biggest fan of Helena, but it's good to see her still kicking around, now with the creepy ass Prolethians, led by Peter Ousterbergeerroeuhtrweuhwhatever. I've always liked that dude. Good to see he's still getting steady work. I like that the Prolethians have a real villain with a face. He seems interesting... a mad religious cultist that loves science. Wonder how Helena will do with them.
Allison + Felix continues to be the best pairing anywhere ever in the history of man. My heart broke for Allison when Felix just left her on the phone. You son of a bitch.
Also, DONNIE. FUCK YOU, MAN. If I was married to Allison, I'd worship the ground upon which she walked, you duplicitous son of a bitch.
Pro-Clone Rachel grates. Her face looks weird.
Cosima is such a terrible judge of character. Does Delphine have a magic fairy vagina or something?
Mrs S was a poor judge of character this time around, but she finished off being badass. Is it too much to ask for all the clones to just live under one house with her, with all of them just being snarky at each other forever?
I shouldn't laugh, but I did.
Starling City didn't do wonders for him.
All hail legit GIFs.

Pleasantly surprised that Kira wasn't in another castle, and that Donnie's cover has been blown already. The pace of this show is just right for me, so glad I got into it!

I think Sara's the hottest clone. Cosima's dreads and nose ring are a no-go.

I hate that we're all so beholden to ratings, but it's good to see in season growth.

Given the solid ratings, big DVR bump, and the critical/fan/award response, the show is doing just fine for BBCA right now.
Cornballer, do you know what an average show brings in viewer wise for BBCA? To my untrained eye, that seems like a pretty big number for a non-mainstream channel.

The press release for the premiere ratings said it's the second highest demo rating for the station behind Doctor Who.

I don't know offhand. Dr Who puts up bigger numbers, but Orphan Black is second behind that.
