Orphan Black

Man. I am constantly worried about Cosima. And this episode just made that so much worse.

WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED TO COSIMA?! I'm so worried.

Also, pretty decent episode! I really loved the hug between Helena and Mrs. S.

Sometimes I try to understand why so little people are talking about OB on these forums while some other shows are much more discussed. Then I check the GOT/Arrow/Flash threads and see how 80% of these are people complaining about every single possible thing happening onscreen, and I am rather happy of the size of this one (the same can be said of Person Of Interest and Orange Is The New Black btw).

I was worried that this episode would disappoint after the ending of E6, what with being focused on Alison while the focus was on Sarah and Helena before, but it did not, at all. Oh I LOVE the clone impersonations. We should make bets on what the next one will be.

I kinda want to see Helena try to be Cosima.

I'd like to have present-Rachel impersonated. By Cosima maybe?

I feel like that would be distinctly uncool.

I want to give Rachel a hug.

I mean, she'd probably kill me, but still.

Well, if I understood the preview correctly, Helena's gonna be Living with the Hendrixes. While that's awesome by itself, imagine Helena impersonating Alison.

Well Helene could be a productive citizen. She could help Allison and Donnie in their business. She could protect them when they deal with those unpleasent people again.

Yeah, I'd like to see Brazilian girl try the "I will start again and count slowly" thing with Helena instead of Alison.

Helena would probably start counting how many bones she will break her at the same time.

NVM. ignore the double posting.

I don't know how I feel about Helena hanging out with the Hendrixes. I mean, after looking for her for more than half the season, why the hell would Sarah send Helena away???

Because she has to go to Dyad to deal with Rachel and does not trust Helena to stay with S yet - or the other way around. Or Helena and Gracie have trouble adjusting to each other, and S wants to keep her house in one piece. I don't know, but there are many reasons - and Cosima behaves rather erratically and has poor health, she is a bad choice for Helena-duty.

What if Helena meets Alison's mother???

That resemblance is pure coincidence, move along.

Shit, now I feel really bad for feeling bad about Rachel. WHAT A BITCH.

...I still want to give Rachel a hug. That hasn't changed.

I'm now and forever a Rachel fan.

And poor Krystal.

Happy Orphan Black day, everyone!

EDIT: OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK.

The Castor original and the Leda original are the same person. Who is also Mrs. S's mother.

Oops, it looks like Pouchy made a little mistake.

So apparently Everyone Is Related?

I don't think the fact that S is the daughter of the original is completely random. I think some revelations may still come.

By the way, is it me, or was it the first time in a while that we got "Helena's theme" back, for lack of a better word? You know, with those two dissonant screeches. I don't think they were featured during the escape from camp Castor, but maybe I forgot or didn't realize.

You may be right about that. Also, this has got to be the most hilarious offscreen murder I've ever (not) seen on television.

Wait—so if Mrs. S's mother is the original, shouldn't she be identical to the clones?

She's pretty old by now, so wouldn't it be that Sarah and the clones could look like her when they get older?

Oh, I realize that. But the younger picture she had didn't look like the clones (and I think Mrs. S would have noticed if her foster daughter started growing up to be the image of her mother), and her eyes were a blue/grey and not brown. It could simply be they're overlooking this for the sake of good casting, but it does strike me as odd.
