Love this show so much. I am rewatching the first season to refresh myself. Just watched the one with the potluck which is totally insane and awesome.

Is the Cloneversation more talking about Season 1 or a preview of Season 2? I have it on my DVR, but would rather not know a lot about S2 before I watch.
 
- Variety Review:
It’s an inordinately intelligent sci-fi series in which the flaws only enhance its overall underdog appeal. Judging by these early episodes, season two looks to be another roller-coaster ride.
- Tim Goodman's review for THR:
Early returns from season two suggest that Orphan Black will be more compelling than ever, as it becomes more confident in its ability, buoyed by the acclaim, and its laudable understanding that a good story is just that--it doesn't matter that it be a straight, familiar drama.
 
I like the show but I kinda wish that it just focused on the drama that develops in these girls lives from being clones instead of the criminal conspiracy that seems to be going on. As soon as the bad guys showed up and one of them had a tail I think things got too silly. I am a bit worried because there's that new character with the cowboy hat and bolo tie that looks like Rich Texan from The Simpsons.
 
So this is pretty good?

I saw the trailer for this at the theater and totally remembered that I heard something about it at some point before that.
 
I'm something like 2 episodes into the first season and will be watching more tonight. Pretty good show, hopefully I catch up before season 2 starts. Been awhile since I've had a show to chew on (though Mad Men did just start again as well).
 
Lol... I remember people were complaining about her German accent when the show aired last year and it turns out she is German

Wikipedia said:
Maslany has Ukrainian, Polish, German, Austrian, and Romanian ancestry.

Plus she's Canadian ;)

On another note, I don't recall when this happened in the first season:

Orphan Black, hits the ground running with Sarah in a desperate race to find her missing daughter Kira

Otherwise, that's pretty spoilerish for the producers to hint at that.

Literally the last scene of season one is the beginning of that moment.

I don't remember it at all. The last thing I remember is
the whole gene sequence thing that they figured out, and Allison signing the papers, and her husband turning out to actually be her observer.

Just finished rewatching Season 1. It was better than I remembered. The second half is so awesome. Also the song that plays at the end of the finale is great. Forgot all about that.
