I binged through the first three seasons and then a couple of episodes from S4 in a week. - First season and half, up to about an episode or two before the Tony clone was introduced, were page-turning tight. - I expected to like Helena and Alison the least and ended up liking them the most. - Very prominent Subarus and Infinitis and conspicuously brand-erased German cars. - The Neolution going from a front to a controlling layer of the conspiracy ouroboros between S1-S4 is pretty dumb, but the worms and biomods are sufficiently creepy. - The show is unashamed about putting unneeded characters in storage. Cal, Alison's kids, Tony, the beautician clone, Kendall. - One of Helena's twins are going to absorb the other to create a chimera just like Kendall is, and that is going to be a major plot point for a short while. All in all, it is a very entertaining.

They wrapped up the Beth story and got rid of the worst actress on the show in one episode, good stuff. Also hopefully Clone Boy Toy didn't vomit up too many of his pills. 13Pandora13 posted:I have no idea where they're going with this show anymore. WTF. Both arms of the Duncans' cloning project (the LEDA clones and the boy clones) are just competition to Asian Lady (if they ever manage to deal with the glitches / whatever's killing Cosima), which is why she wiped out Cosima's research and burned The Chain-Smoking Original. Without those her idea is that most of the clones will gently caress off and die sooner or later. What she doesn't know is that appearantly Ditzy Blonde Clone was there when Cosima's Dr. Girlfriend got shot in the parking garage in the last finale (after that one creepy doc tried to spit one of the cheekbots into her mouth and failed). It's nice to have an antagonist who's just sick of all this clone business for once, this might be the most straightforward plot they've ever had. Also Scott's a loving idiot for going OH HAY FREE HARD DRIVE LET ME JUST PLUG THIS IN instead of spending the 50 bucks for a 1 TB HD to give them the data on.

Cosima is hosed, the Castor bloodline/plot has now been rendered...completely pointless, S's mom plotline is now completely pointless, it's basically like they erased anything that happened the last season.

I have to admit, I spent a lot of the episode wondering if Donnie was still knocked out on the floor of the massage parlor. Also, I liked that Felix was dressed up like Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock when posing as the Scotland Yard inspector.Tonton Macoute posted:- First season and half, up to about an episode or two before the Tony clone was introduced, were page-turning tight. I remember hearing about Orphan Black when it first came out and finally watching it shortly after the end of the first season, and getting completely hooked. Ended up binging all of it in a few days, one of the first times I had ever done that. It's really one of the most suspenseful seasons of any show I've ever seen.

I hope we just get like a solid, takedown revenge arc for the rest of the season. The past couple have been way too many macguffin hunts. I liked that this one got back to building the neolution world that was hinted at in the first season.

I am just waiting for Helena's bloody revenge when she finds out about the people who killed her mother. (I know she just took off recently but among the things I was thinking all episode is that it would have been great to have her around as the emergency backstop position to, say, get Cosima out of the Neolution place if things went sideways)

Illinois Smith posted:The more I think about it, the less sense it makes for Evie to not just shoot Cosima in the head and stuff her in the van with The Original. I was 100% expecting this to happen and was kind of disappointed it didn't. Killing off a founding Clone Club member mid season would be pretty ballsy and would set off Sarah big time. (edit) vvv But that doesn't make sense either, because to inflict cruelty you have to have caring/feeling, even if that emotion is negative. Killing her is like euthanizing a lab rat if she doesn't care, it's a liability to keep it alive if you don't care about the experiment anymore. 13Pandora13 fucked around with this message at 23:20 on May 23, 2016 |

Sarah Manning's Drunken Makeout Power Hour Reeeeally don't give a poo poo about Cosima's Dr. Girlfriend being alive after all and that reveal with Felix going O SORRY I FORGOT went over like a wet fart. Does Evie have her chained up in her cheekbot factory? also does Evil Detective have weird healing powers? He looked completely fine when they raided the Hendrixes house after Art beat the poo poo out of him earlier in the evening. Is he a mutant superclone?!

I've been waiting the entire series for these clones to 'activate' and go all Salt or whatever their actual purpose is, but drat, if it didn't happen to Cosima behind that van it never is. So what's the point of the clones? To take inorganic augmentations without issue? Like that one clone's crazy camera eye?

I don't really care about Rachel's storyline this season but the random imaginary swan that showed up was worth it. I thought she was going to say "You're dying Charlotte and one day I will bury you" instead of "I will die too." Not the greatest mom. Looks like they've stopped trying to remove the CN Tower from scenes now.

That was a heck of a time jump out of nowhere. It takes weeks to do an egg retrieval, a fortnight if they're extremely lucky with the timing ... or did they already have some Sarah Manning eggs on ice and I forgot/missed it?

Rachel and Sarah grudgingly working together to stop Evie Cho is the Tango & Cash sequel the world's been waiting for. Also: everyone is surprisingly okay with torture followed by execution of a man they had a pile of evidence against. It's not like he was the evil mastermind behind the whole thing; just a bad dude who was good at his bad job but BAM! shot with a hunting rifle indoors don't worry about the mess Scott will clean it up in the morning because it's his turn (?) I assume they torture and execute people in the comic book shop every other week.
