I liked the episode and I hope Fe gets more to do this season. I also hope Vic returns so more horrible indignities can be fostered upon him.

I primarily missed Helena. I secondarily missed Alison. The rest are just there. I don't really remember much of what happened in late Season 2, I just remember I like Helena and Alison. Lycus fucked around with this message at 10:26 on Apr 19, 2015 |

After starting to rewatch the series they really shouldn't have dropped the Beth Childs cover so early. The plot going so quickly that things are discovered and discarded within 2 or 3 episodes makes the second season uneven (except for Helena, natch) and rather disappointing compared to the first. Forcing the plot to be slowed down enough to have the cover/maintaining it be believable would have alleviated some of the writing problems.

Yeah, the second season really dropped the ball, and I can't remember the way that all the groups break down at this point. And, on a more fundamentally damaging level, I have no idea why half the cast even gives Helena the time of day. She killed their sisters, killed her biological mother, but when she waltzes back into everyone's lives they're all basically fine with her. Except that one road trip episode where Sarah basically abandons her on their road-trip. I get that she's meant to be redeemed through the suffering / abuse that she went through, but the cast seems to forgive very, very quickly.

Am I supposed to remember why Cosima is getting better now? She was nearly dead at the end of season 2, found the book with the science stuff and then...? I guess she used what was in the book to cure herself between seasons? Show is getting a bit much for my old senile brain. edit: VVVVVV OK I need to rewatch season 2, I don't remember that at all.

They've realised that she was vulnerable and exploited and only used as a tool to kill her sisters by the people exploiting her so all their anger at that was transferred onto the Prolethians. Mostly enjoyed the episode, Sarah as Rachel was absolutely brilliant, Alison as Sarah was too because of how close her character came to breaking. It does feel like Delphine's suddenly been replaced by a clone though.

That episode was really all over the place. I'm totally into the Alison sub-plot of crazy suburban hi-jinx.  I was really confused about the "Cleaner" and how he seemed to know for absolute sure that this person was not Rachel, (there's a prolonged shot of his looking at her neck?) and then a little dominatrix antics make his brain stop working? Why is Delphine suddenly a completely different person, with crazy amounts of power? And last of all, I think I"m just upset that I really don't like the guy-clone at ALL. He has this "backwoods cult member" look to his face, that is going to make every single one of his iterations feel like the same backwoods daughter-fucker cult type of guy that he played in the first place. So in other words, completely unfairly and unrelated to the plot or the writing, I think he's just a super unattractive, creepy looking guy, and it's a downer that he's going to be all over the place for the foreseeable future. That's wicked cruel, I know. The poor actor is a real person, but he gives me the yucks.

I don't understand what the point of the closeup to Sarah's wig if he doesn't even unmask her. The male clone didn't an amazing job as dumb hick cult boy so I can't buy him as a clone at all because I always see him in that light.

PotatoJudge posted:Delphine is in power because Donnie splattered Max Headroom's brains all over the interior a Ford Taurus. I actually just rewatched seasons 1&2 and the change in Delphine isn't "Oh, she got a better job", it's more WTF happened in the off-season because this person is completely different. Trust me. I'd screenshot it if I could on this computer, but I think my new favorite moment from past seasons is when Donny grows the balls to walk out to that van and take a picture of Vic and the cop, and instantly, without thought, Vic throws this hilarious hand sign and mugs for the camera like he's taking a selfie. Vic was a lot funnier the second time through. "It looks like he was attacked by elves".

The only way I'd enjoy a Vic return is if he somehow accidentally manages to kill Paul in some comic fashion. Coincidentally, that's also one of the few ways I'd enjoy Paul's return.

It's strange (or not strange, either way)...I definitely can't tell the dude clones apart as easily as I can with the Leda clones. I mean, it's only been two weeks and Whatshisname tries his darndest, but he really can't compete with Tatiana Maslany when it comes to giving individual clones their own tics and postures and physical/vocal identifiers. Doesn't help that they all very obviously have the same exact haircut styled three different ways.pentyne posted:I hate to nitpick but they weren't doing the water-boarding correctly.

Kinda annoyed we needed an episode to get Cal/Kira on the run when that's what they spent all last season doing but Team Hendrix made up for it.

That's kind of why I'm still watching despite the Castor thing not being especially interesting, and why I still watch this show despite its unevenness. Despite the Sarah Show being a complete conspiracy pile-up in Aisle X and taking up way too much time considering how boring it is, the Cosima and Helena Shows are OK and I'm glued to every moment of the Alison Show because it is hilaaaarious.

I first thought the scene where the male clones freaked out that random lady was just something they do for fun when they're out and about but then she told Art & Beth that they collected a hair sample from her? Was that their mission and if so ... What? One of these days the writers are gonna come up with a plot for Allison that has anything to do with the rest of the show and something other for Helena to do than getting held captive by different groups every season. I like that the Castor staff still use Blade Runner tests in 2015.  Getting rid of Cal & Kira for a while was probably a good idea, between the ex-cult couple, the new male clones and all the regular cast the show's runtime seemed spread thinner than ever in the first two eps. Also that ending seemed like the shittiest way possible to remove a tattoo, especially when you're still really easily identifiable by EVERY OTHER PART OF YOUR BODY Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Apr 26, 2015 |
