Paul was borderline assaulted, and reading that interview with the actor, the cut scenes were kind of rough for the character, with Rachel punching him repeteadly while riding that Big D.
Is it wrong if that turns me on?

Anyho, the latest episode may have been the finest yet since S1's finale. Truly fantastic stuff. I'm a bit swarmed ATM, so I'll post some musings later.

Totally agree; tight writing, amazing interactions, great pacing. Helena has completely won me over; my favorite clone and one of the most intriguing.

Really REALLY loved this episode. Farther down the rabbit hole.

The big reveal is that Paul is actually a clone too, but the experiment was deemed a failure when he turned out to be incapable of emotion. The big dick was compensation.

Did you wonder why Helena was wearing Felix’s helmet when she arrives at Art’s? That’s because originally Helena and Felix were supposed to have a whole scene where they doubled on Felix’s bike. It was first pitched to the room as a throw to E.T. with Helena riding on the front handlebars. But due to weather (snow) we weren’t able to film the scene. At least we still get to see Helena in the backwards helmet!

- LA Times interactive guide: Meet the ‘Orphan Black’ clones face to face
In "Orphan Black," Sarah Manning is thrown into a world in which her face is not just her own. Human cloning, mystery ailments, religious fanatics and overzealous scientists all converge in this series, in which Sarah's allies and foes include her genetic identicals. As "Orphan Black's" second season reaches its midpoint, here is a look at the clones that have been introduced so far, all played by Tatiana Maslany.

Think Progress interview with Cosima Herter, the science consultant on OB:

- The Crazy Science Of Orphan Black
When I tell Cosima Herter, Orphan Black science consultant, that one of my favorite things on the BBC America show is when Helena eats, she bursts out laughing. “I like watching her try to be a remotely normal person,” I say. Herter keeps laughing and says, “Emphasis on remotely.”

Herter is a doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota, but she’s also a longtime friend of one-half of the Orphan Black showrunning team. Since the series—which is part sci-fi, part action movie, part family drama—premiered in March 2013, she has served as the writers room’s biological compass. It’s her job to point out not just the scientific facts the show can portray, but the questions those facts raise that are worth exploring. Plus she’s the namesake and inspiration for one of the clones, Cosima Niehaus, a grad student with dreadlocks (editor’s note: awesome dreadlocks) who is studying evolutionary developmental biology while making crazy science with her girlfriend-slash-monitor-slash-lab-partner. I spoke with Herter by phone about her work on the show, the ethics of cloning and genetic patents, and just how fictional the science fictional universe of Orphan Black really is.

The dynamic between Rachel and Paul during that sex scene was quite obscene. Whether intentionally or not, Paul looked like he was petrified. Rachel's forced sex seemed overpowering. She has such an ugly personality that made that scene work.

EDIT: No, it was that fucking music that was playing

Just a random search. When I first saw Orphan Black, I had a feeling like Mrs. S was someone who was familiar to me. Well now I know where I knew her from. If you haven't had a chance to watch the Tutors, go binge watch. It's on Netflix right now.

She could replace Brad Pitt in the next Oceans.
A heist with her as George Clooneys right hand would be... interesting.

Game of Thrones apparently is casting the three daughters of
Oberyn Martell
for season 5, I see a great opportunity here. Think of all the money they'll save !

One of many reasons why this show is good. There are so many teams on this show which means there are so many different dynamics. It's like GoT with clones.

*raises flame shield*

I hope you understand what I mean when I said that.

EDIT: I think Helena is falling for him. And they are making fucking deals behind their back. It's not fucking fair. Damn it all. Really fuck those two
