Orphan Black

I agree with the 2 posts above. The writers have done a poor job of really making us care for the Castor clones, and although I love me some hot "dirty" Paul, I have no idea why he's invested with these male clones. Maybe the writers know this is a weak link, and are afraid to spend too much time away from the magnificent Tatiana?

Mother Castor knows her boys can infect people, and she seems to be okay with that. I don't understand this woman either. The writers need to spend more time developing her as well (IMO).

They took a lot of Sarah's blood last night hoping for a cure. I wonder if Mama Castor infects Sarah- with the end game for season 3 being to have her sacrifice her life to save everyone else. It would be a game changer- it might turn Paul back to the Ledas, and rally the troops.

I wonder if the preview of Kiera showing up was an illusion or if Cal makes an appearance?

I thought last night's ep was stronger than the ones before it. I liked the tension between Sarah & Helena, and I got more Felix!

I'm done. I've been done for awhile, but when I forgot this was on again and now after learning of

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Paul's death

, I'm out. I don't care about this show anymore. I cared a lot in S1. These characters, their relationships with each other and their monitors are what pulled me in. Now, none of that seems to be remotely important. It's all about the conspiracy and I don't give a hoot about the conspiracy.

Same thing that did in Scandal for me. Too much speechifying and B6 bullshit. I'm still hanging in there for the Allison/Donnie shenanigans. Their twerking at the beginning of the episode slayed me. I'm liking Gracie being with the normies. I also need more Art and less Castor nonsense.

I'm getting a kick out this season. For me the show has always been about conspiracy so I'm fine to see that ramped up. Not a huge fan of the Castors but I like Mark and I'd be okay for him to join the family with Felix and be a brother sestra, the others? Not so much. Allison/Donnie are hilarious. The Rachel/Felix scene was fantastic and while I like Cosmina the whole Shay/Delphine drama I don't really care about.

Sniff. Goodbye hot Paul. You will be missed. I always knew you loved Sarah.

Mama and Rudy better have died in that explosion.

Yesterday's twist better pay off, or else.

I agree- more Art; less Castor.

Next week: Felix on the campaign trail! Alison going into the drug business by taking over her mother's store. I can't wait to meet Alison's mom.

Again, RIP Hot Paul. I'll catch you again in season 1 soon.


I wonder when/if Cal comes back. He doesn't have a huge part on GoT, so he should return soon.

I laughed so loud at Donnie and Alison's bedroom antics that I scared my poor cat! They may be twisted but Donnie and Alison are my ship on this show! Who knew a little honesty and some murder could bring a couple closer together?

I had a feeling Paul was a goner since the beginning of this season. More than once someone threatened to kill him. It just felt like foreshadowing. Still it hurt to watch. I'm glad he went out protecting Sarah and destroying evil research in the process. I enjoyed watching the smugness dropping off Rudy and Coady's faces when Paul dropped the grenade. That's right! Paul thought this one through! But, once again, the whole "Paul did all this to try and save the Castors!" falls flat because I never understood why he cared about these guys so much! It's a good explanation but it's hard to buy. That should have been explored more. Too late now though.

Some of the Cophine shippers are screaming how this episode is ruining Delphine because it's making her so shady. Excuse me? Have they been watching this show? Delphine has always been shady! Stalking Cosima is not at all out of character. Oh and Cosima? Doesn't owe Delphine jack. Delphine dumped her. Cosima is free to do whatever or whoever she pleases. She's not required to coddle Delphine as she whimpers, "I miss you!" It's not cruel for Cosima to keep things professional. It's smart.

I liked seeing Beth again even if she was merely a hallucination in Sarah's head. And yes Sarah it's time to start asking who instead of why.

Yes, more Art please! I'm fine with Mark staying but the rest of the Castors have got to go.

I'm sure Cal will be back. No one lives long GoT unless they are a Targaryen or a Lannister. Plus, the show basically confirmed Cal is lying to Sarah about some things so they will need to explain that.

Paul didn't really seem to have a place on the show anymore, so I am fine with his death. Once they expanded the conspiracy, it just felt like they were shoehorning him in and it didn't make sense. And, I didn't like the idea of him being on Team Clone (that should be Art's role) or of some star-crossed storyline with Sarah. If anything, they should be killed him off at the end of season one.

To echo everyone else, they just need to get rid of the creepy male clones and the show will be a million times better. I think the overall quality of the season writing-wise is better than season 2 so it's just a matter of 86-ing Castor. I'm especially loving the relationship development this season - Alison and Donnie, Cosima and Delphine, Felix and Mrs. S., Sarah and Helena. Hopefully, they bring Alison back into the main storyline soon, in addition to pulling Art off of the backburner.

And this cannot be said enough - Tatiana Maslany is absolutely amazing. This was one of those episodes where I'm completely blown away by her work in these multiple roles.

I have really enjoyed the last 2 episodes. More comedic than usual. Everything with Donnie is gold. Love that Helena has a little crush on him and he is both flattered and terrified. I still have trouble keeping track of all the bad guys and double agents. I can't remember who Top Side is and what happened to Michelle Forbes? But I am interested in almost all the story lines again with the exception of the Castors. I just can't get into them at all. The actor who plays them is fine and does his best, but there is only so much he can do to make them distinct from each other physically. And since they all had a similar background their personalities are similar too. Contrast that with Tatiana who was able to make Crystal completely unique and empathetic in one episode. I hope the other clones figure out what happened and rescue her too. I'd love to see more of her.

The previews for next week looks killer too.

Felix's 'American' accent threw me (and it's his real voice). I totally agree about Donnie. I hated him at first, and now I love him. Alison needs to give Helena a make over and color in her roots. Relatively pissed that Rudy and his mama escaped with minor injuries. Poor Cosima. Her lust gets her into all sorts of trouble. I can't decide- is Delphine good or bad? I can't wait to see next week's episode, and who knew Mrs. S could sing???
