Orphan Black

[Babycakes]

Finally all caught up after a weekend marathon. I swear Helena is the Jason Voorhies/Michael Meyers of this show. That final scene with Daniel, Helena, and Sarah was amazing. I wish that Sarah would/could safely send Kira off somewhere for a while. That poor kid has been through too much in such a short period of time.

I read a theory that the reason that Grace hated Helena so much was because she is going to be the surrogate for her dad's new clone baby. Yikes!

I really liked Felix's mini-breakdown over not being needed by Sarah now that Cal is in the picture. It was the first time that he got to show some pathos, instead of being (the much appreciated) comic relief.

I also want Alison to go balls to the wall on Donnie and his jockies. Like Witchie said, please give that man some shorts. I am also greatly disappointed in Cosima. I want her to cut Delphine off for good.

I don't miss Paul at all. And I'm still confused as to how much Art knows. When did he get suspended/leave the force? I feel like I missed some scenes where Art found out about the clones. I do think that he or Angie could die before the season is out.

I'm wondering if that video Sarah was watching wasn't an actual clone but the original child of the Duncan scientists. And the original child died so they cloned her DNA in some weird grief-stricken way, thinking it would help them to replace her.

[MrsCatHead]

Yeah, I feel like it's not Rachel...or at least the Rachel who got shit-kicked.

Also, anyone notice that Cosima got her little couch she wanted?

[Babycakes]

I loved the look that Art gave the twins at the end. A completely gifable "WTF?" moment. And ew at Paul and Rachel.

[scrabblequeen]

As usual this episode was weird and gross and disturbing and I really liked it! Heh. Paul and Rachel are so icky together, but I liked their scene. I don't find Felix particularly attractive but I loved seeing him primp and then get some action, it was kind of hot. Cosima and Delphine make me squirmy when they get romantic, I think because I feel like Delphine was forced into a sexual relationship with her...maybe now she digs it, I dunno.

Baby-daddy has some secrets, eh? Is he Sarah's monitor-to-be? And did Keira have a little bit of a psychic moment when she said "someone's coming"?? Or just good hearing.

[iClaudia]

Definitely a psychic moment. The only thing I didn't enjoy about this episode was the lack of Alison. I'm glad she's back next week. I was really rooting for Helena to take out Rachel but I knew it was way too soon for that to happen. At least she got one kill under her belt. I think it's time for Clone Club to reconvene. Cosima and Alison need to be brought back from the fringes.

[MrsCatHead]

Uncomfortable scene with Rachel and Paul...ick.

"Do not call me this."

I heart Helena's smile after hissing at Fee and getting scolded by Sarah.

Lube hands!

[kostgard]

Lube hands!

Heh. I was thinking the same thing Tom & Lorenzo said they were thinking "Why did he get out the lube before they even got their pants off?" Now their hands will be too slippery to undo each others pants!

I like to think poor Colin is under-experienced and over-eager. But at this rate he's never going to get into Felix's pants.

Rachel is all cold and weird and insists upon having horrible sex with her monitors. Do you know who I want to kick her ass? Alison. That will be one frosty cold cat fight, but I want someone to tell Alison that Rachel tried to hurt Felix and watch her go nuts on Rachel. I'd pay cash money to see that.

ETA: I agree that the clones need to get back together. I'm tired of them only talking to each other over laptops. And with all the laptop screens and Matt Frewer as one of the bad(?) guys, I keep having having Max Headroom flashbacks whenever I hear Frewer's voice.

[bklynred]

For some reason I thought Frewer was closer to my age, so I was shocked a few years back at his appearance (clearly I missed Headroom). I thought he was a very sick 40, yikes.

Yes, Alison is necessary!

I'm also weirded out by Delphine & Cosima. Cos is brilliant, no? But she still screws her monitor, who to me is barely into it & barely faking it.

"KIRA!" is now the new "Waaaalt!" in my head.

Tatiana Masley continues to wow me. Even when the plot wanders I can't wait to see what she does next. And I'm constantly forgetting it's the same actress.

[Witchie]

I'm not into Cosima & Delphine at all. I really see no difference in Delphine & Paul & Donnie. She manipulated Cosima into joining Dyad. She gave her bloodwork to Leekie, when she knew Cos didn't want them knowing anything about her health. She can say it's so they can work against the system, but Delphine is too much of lackey to actually buck it. And I don't like the idea they seemed to foster in the first season that she was automatically gay because she found true love with Cos. No. Dyad knew Cosima was gay. Delphine was placed in Cosima's path because Delphine was her type. Delphine did what she was ordered to do, ie establish a romantic relationship with Cos.

Kira is the new Walt. Not a good sign.

Rachel is becoming more interesting. Sarah is losing her appeal and I'm not sure why.

Felix continues to be the best, but I'm going to need Allison back. They work best off each other. I also want her to open a can of whip ass on Paul and Rachel.
