Orphan Black

It's entirely possible Rachel was just going along with it because Ferdinand was too dangerous. Or tricking him. We don't know the full story yet.

Nah, Delphine said "Krystal was lucky, she lived", and mentioned that the Castor guy killed two Dyad agents.

Yeah, Delphine mentions that DYAD was able to rescue Krystal from the Castor clones, and they captured Rudy as a direct result of that, after which he was in Marian Bowles' basement for three weeks.

... Where did Marian go anyway?

She's in Europe! "Covering for the Leda clones", as Sarah said in her conversation with Felix in the start of the episode.

Man. I'm really bad at keeping all the facts together. There's so much stuff going on.

If this show was instead called "The Merry adventures of Mrs. Alison Hendrix", I would love it just as much.

Good to see they are avoiding the black & white for Leda & Castor too.

Cal, Sarah, and Kira actually goofing off and playing hockey inside Cal's new house was such a good scene. Interacting as a family..... ;_;

The logic tests done by the Castor clones intrigue me- there seems to be a particular need to check them for mental instability or irrationality.

My guess is that the Castor clones have some sort of programming that may glitch, and that this test ensures the programming is fine.

Wait, isn't this show set in Canada? Why did Mechanic Dude have a Confederate flag in his window? I mean, it fits, but still...

Holy shit. The Leda and Castor originals were siblings. Holy shit.

Because flying the flag of the slaver's rebellion is a good shorthand for "This person is a very specific type of asshole"? The wall of longarms was also a pretty strong hint at what kind of person this was. Honestly, I was expecting Sarah to grab one at the end there. But no. Checkov's gun not fired.

I mean, yeah, that's why I said it was fitting, it's just, would a Canadian be familiar enough with that to just have the flag up on their wall?

IRL, there are a lot of people that are Canadian that can trace their ancestry from the Southern US.

You can find morons all over Europe buying nazi eagles and stuff, not only in Germany. I am pretty sure the Confederates are "loved" by idiots outside of America too. And yeah, his family could have emigrated because they could not stand all these free black people.

Also while it's made in Canada I don't think the series has ever been explicit about which country the main action is taking place in.

It hasn't, but come on. No place looks that much like Toronto but Toronto.

I have a feeling Cosima could be wrong on the exact nature of the originals' relationship.

After all, in the myth, Leda was not the sister of Castor...

That relationship is different, too. See, Project Castor was the follow-up, or the son, of sorts, to Project Leda, by the military faction that was using Duncan's clone research. Genetically however, the Castor and Leda originals are stated to be siblings when Cosima examines Seth's brain.

Also, Orphan Black's been renewed for a Season 4, y'all!

But Helena was :D

Also, "Project Clytemnestra" simply does not sound right.

If Person Of Interest is renewed too, then I will be happy. The other shows can come and go, but those two are the top tier.

New Orphan Black starting!

EDIT: WOW, that episode was a real doozy. I can't believe Helena mercy-killed a Castor.

And now it seems Sarah is gonna keep her company. I hope they can figure out a way to escape together, that would be awesome.

It's like Alison should have her own series and it would be epic anyway.

Alison's story this season is basically Weeds if it had better writing. It's great.
