Premieres next week! So there is still lots of time for those of you who missed the first season to catch up on this fantastic show!

I was describing it to a friend the other day, as being so good I not only record it, I watch it live during it's original broadcast.

And even watch the commercials to not miss anything.

"YOU EVEN WATCH THE COMMERCIALS?!" he said

"Yes and it airs against Hockey Night in Canada. During the playoffs."

His reaction;

Aw yeah. Can't wait. Loved the first season.

Can't wait! I loved Season 1 and thought it was great to have it back-to-back with Doctor Who. I'm still nervous for Kira, and I'm curious what's going to happen with Allison since Well, I'm curious about all the clones, but still.

It's only hours away! I need to work on my OH MY GOD!s so I don't strain my voice.

Damn good season premiere. I get the feeling this season will be more action packed now that we have the origin stuff out of the way.

Clone Count: 5 by my math.

"OH GOD NOT CATS!"

Moments with Alison are starting to make her my favorite clone due to sheer insanity.
"I made the card myself!"

I continue to be amazed at how they work ina crazy setting each week.

And they are just perfect!

I am all caught up finally and truly loving this show. Though it's pretty obvious that it wouldn't be as great without the extremely talented Ms Maslany. My favorite is when she is playing a clone masquerading as one of the other clones. Great series and can't wait for the next ep.

Fun fact: I clicked this thread thinking it read Orange Is the New Black season 2, and was surprised that the new season was out already, and that it had taken a really, really weird turn

Well of course Allison owns a Dyson!

Final scene,

I've never watched this show and until this thread I was never interested. The previews all play up the lesbian stuff and it really cooled any interest my wife and I had about it. It just seemed gratuitous. If it turns out that this has very little to do with the show - as your posts make it seem - then they did a disservice with their trailers.

The only significant impact lesbian behaviour adds to the show is so far the question of if sexuality is genetic how are the clones different sexually.

Its a show for people tired of the slow pace of GoT and the low body count of Walking Dead.

I didn't realize they made such a big deal about Cosima's relationship. I only remember seeing it briefly mentioned in one commercial.

As for Saturday's episode

You know the red wedding was meh for those that paid attention. The purple wedding was fun.

But the white wedding on Saturday turned the dial up past 11.

It was a 3 minute scene that made all of Big Love look tame.

It seems to me that great acting, writing anddidirecting are all being shown.

Somewhere, Roman Grant is saying "Whoooooah. That might be a little much."

Or he would have, depending on which season.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

edit:

I am now calm and collected. And I must say that was a very rare instance of instilling feelings of actual fear in me. Last weeks ending was surprising and felt shocking at the time, this week was just plain terrifying.

Fuck Game of Thrones and their abundant and redundant unnecessary heterosexual sex scenes.

Orphan Black has completely necessary and over the top homosexual sex scenes!

And the lips, that's some straight out of Norse mythology nightmare shit right there.

I saw someone compare Chloe's lips to Ryan Reynold's Deadpool and chuckled.

Not as freaky as last week's ending, but ... dammit, Paul!

So last nights episode. Lacked the expected OH MY GOD! moment but have tons of revelations, but why do I feel that now I have these answers I am filled with nothing but new questions.

Pork rind?

Michelle Forbes is joining the cast! Oooohhh this is gonna be good!

When Helena was getting sprung from jail, I figured "oh boy, Sarah is pissed right now", but then I saw Chloe and was like, "Oh, f***, not her/them!"
Also, I can't believe Sarah just left her! She KNOWS Helena's important, that she's going to keep turning up like a bad penny, and she's not above being a sniper to get revenge. That's a girl you keep a close eye on.

To be fair, Sarah doesn't always make the best choices.

But you would think she wouldn't leave such a huge loose end. Besides, now that they've got The Swan Man, it's time to get the band back together!: Punky Clone, Drunky Clone, Brainy Clone and ...well, Crazy Clone.

Oh, and Rachel, I guess. Bitchy Clone.

Oh Donnie, Donnie Donnie.

Who loved the passive aggressiveness of the name tag?

I saw that ending, and realized Donnie may not be with us much longer, because he is too stupid to survive on his own.

When the gun went off, I actually kinda laughed and said, "Oopsie doodle!"

Oh Donnie....

I guess Donnie couldn't handle the pressure of ...

Family Day.

Wow. That was a really thought provoking episode. I like Tony, and I'm of the mind that a transgender clone was not introduced for the purpose of just having one, there is more there to discover. Looks like Donnie will be around for a while longer yet, the family that kills together stays together.

And the great big OH MY GOD moment was just a simple spoken sentence this week. And what a revelation it was and it sent a whole new series of thoughts into my head.

And Rachels reaction....was that a flashback or flashforward, but regardless it was powerful.

Clone count!
Cop clone - dead
German clone - dead
Crazy clone - getting babies
Punky clone - single mom badasss
Drunky clone - finally free
Brainy clone - perhaps only a few episodes left
Guy clone - kissing Felix!

The kissing Felix thing kinda made me squirm, only because, "Ahhh! You're kissing your sister (sort of)!!"

First for Donnie and his emergency from the ashes like a phoenix;



Have a shitty day!


Now how the heck is the forced artificial inseminated of a man in stirrups not the OH MY GOD moment!

Because that moment was OH MY GOD!!!!!

Goddamnit I did it again.

This thread isn't about a female prison at all!

*grumbles that he will have to actually read thread titles instead of just glance*

Helena's solution to the Clone Fundies? ...Yep, that seems about right.

Donnie and Alison had me laughing pretty hard this week. Way to start (awkwardly) redeeming yourself, Donnie.

The only thing I'm worried about is next week is the season finale and Kira's kidnapped AGAIN. Can we not end both seasons like that? Orphan Black does not need their own [BtVS] Dawn.

"Kira's kidnapped again? Must be Saturday."

She's become a coveted resource.

It's fate telling you you should start watching Orphan Black, Poe.[DOUBLEPOST=1402940871,1402940838][/DOUBLEPOST]

FTFY

Critics Choice Award!

VERY well deserved. That girl is crazy talented and versatile.

This show is crazy good, and the actress is brilliant to portray so many different facets so well that you never really get the characters confused.

Just to confuse @Ravenpoe even more...

Orphan is the New Black!

Suddenly, I wonder who would win in a fight between Helena or Crazy Eyes.

I'm thinking Helena, since she's willing to go for the kill. But Suzanne would give her plenty a beating to remember.

Kira is the bees knees!

Not surprised about "Mark". Good casting choice.

Wow.... just ....wow. Great closer.

The actress who plays the young clone remade the clone dance party.

Season 3 confirmed!

Seriously.
But we shouldn't be too surprised. The Emmys have a bad habit of not taking anything label "sci-fi" seriously.

Not to mention this is a BBC/Canadian television series. Does the Emmys even consider anything non-American?

This is what we should have seen;

You're damn right!

Neat! I think it's Tatiana Maslany's birthday this week.

Good grief! How many birthday cards do we need to send?!

Just one but it needs to be addressed to all the clones.

So the trailer for Season 3 is out.

If one of you Americans could go ahead and mail me a copy since I can't view it in this country, that would be great.

Squeeeeeeee

This is why this show is the best...

Season 3 starts this weekend!!!!!
