Sestra came back!  Paul was a lame character on the whole but I think they did as good a job as they could to make him going out moving and meaningful. He was (kinda) interesting in the episode and the way the final moments were shot/scored were fantastic. Iron Tusk posted:Look like 10 posts above yours. I coulda sworn it wasn't there when I scrolled back to check

Rarity posted:Sestra came back! I really liked Paul in S1. The best episode of that entire season was Allison's potluck and the suspense of which side Paul is on in that episode (not to mention the FANTASTIC scene where he nail-guns Vic's hand to a table, dude's not loving around) was really well done, finally culminating in the scene where he switches the drugged bottle of tequila for a regular one at the last moment. ...also I kinda loved the episode after that one where Paul and Sarah rescue each other from Olivier. Season 2 kinda flushed that character development down the toilet with him sticking with (and sticking it to) Rachel for ... reasons? And then suddenly he's a Major? Season 3 finally answered that question while letting his character go gracefully.

I've generally thought that this season was pretty weak, but this last episode was the best for sure. I was genuinely sad about Paul, even if it was a little overblown in the end. He really WAS a generally nice guy trying to do the right thing within the confines of his military status. And somehow they cobbled it together so it made some sense in the end. I can't believe I didn't realize that was Kesinia Solo. I knew I recognized her but couldn't t place her. Thanks. It also makes me realize that Maslani is a rather small person in general because Solo looks quite tiny on Lost Girl compared to the others, and she looks the same size as Kasima on Orphan Black. Eating that scorpion was rad. "I'm hungry". Period. Also Allison and Danny drug dealer dance party. It would REALLY be the top of awesome if she brought some kind of drug enforcement crew to a future clone engagement. Silly, but awesome. I also couldn't help but cheer for Felix going full rear end in a top hat on the cyclops, and then a little bit of meh awww when she was genuinely confused and scared. I always thought the Rachel clone was the weakest, but making her a brainhurty cyclops really helped her stand out.

No one mentioned it, but oh my god how good were Felix and Rachel together? I got lost in the moment in that scene, and thought of Felix as simply torturing her as revenge for the injection, just getting revenge for Rachel's previous actions etc. But when Felix yelled "tell me where my sister is, where did they take her", that was devastating. I realize that goofy people twerking to Riff Raff is hilarious, but Felix and Rachel is where I live. Couple that with Beth and Sarah's scene, and Helena coming back for Sestra, and easily the best episode of the season. MC Fruit Stripe fucked around with this message at 06:11 on May 25, 2015 |

But when he broke down it really drove home how desperate he was in that moment and it finally gave the actor something to do this season besides being smug and catty, which I agree he nailed. Ultimately I feel like that scene was mostly about Cosima's buddy recognizing the symbols on her painting and setting up the clones (or just Felix and Mrs. S) eventually getting Rachel out of there.

When you think about it, Rachel's probably a good indication of what the Leda clones would have been like if they'd been treated like the Caster boys. The scene when her dad poisons himself is especially devastating because that's when she realizes she backstabbed the only person in her entire life who didn't treat her like an object. Maslany absolutely loving sold me on that scene, it is SO PAINFUL. And S3 has brought it all home because DYAD raised her to be proud of the fact that she was a Shiny New Toy, but now she's a broken toy. DYAD killed off her public identity so they could stick her in the closet with impunity. And she knows it. I would love for her to get out of there. Empowered, enfranchised, vengeful Rachel would be THE BEST RACHEL.

Besides a couple of particularly good scenes, Rachel was definitely the weakest clone, I think probably because nobody actually talks like that, so it had this air of fakiness all the time. Also, bizarrely masochistic and dominant yet "NEED BABY AT ALL COSTS" and I just found her character weird. She's much more individual now that she's a drooling cyclops.

I might have posted this already, but just have Allison take care of pregnant helena. It will keep her in the posse and I'm sure hilarious hijinks will occur with that pairing.

I'm enjoying this season much more than the last but what really kills me is Rachel - I know she is/was a bad person capable of terrible things but she's so sad and broken now I just wish she had died, it actually upsets me to see her suffering this way now. More so when Delphine or Felix pop by to torture the poor thing.

I was reading up on an art book on Greek and Roman mythology and I got to the part about Castor and Pollux, and it's cool to wonder how much of that mythology's symbolism is tied up in the Castor clone storyline. In myth, Castor and Pollux were half-brothers (although still born on the same day because - I poo poo you not - they hatched from the same egg. That's what you get when you gently caress a swan, I guess). Pollux was the son of Zeus, but Castor was the mortal son of a king and so when the two bros decided to stir poo poo up and abduct fancy Greek ladies (which is practically Mount Olympus' national sport) Castor died. Like the Castor clones - boys "hatched" and raised together to be superhuman feats of science, except they have a fatal mortal flaw. EVEN MORE INTERESTING - Castor and Pollux had a sister. The myth said Leda laid TWO eggs (corkscrew swan dong being her particular cup of tea) - and the second egg contained none other than Helen of Troy. HELENA + CASTOR. God I hope none of the clones actually have swan DNA. Swans are loving psychotic.

Helena's moving in with the Hendrixes (really looking forward to some Helena / Donnie scenes) and I assume the remaining Castor clones are gonna come after her. A bunch of Portuguese henchmen are probably gonna come in real handy in that situation. Or maybe her supplier's just gonna be next in line to kidnap Helena, who knows.

I've only seen justin chatwin in this and shameless, and he's playing the exact same character. It really kind of bothers me actually. I looked him up, and other than the DBZ movie (uh what?) that's basically all he's really known for. I look forward to the next show he's in as the smarmy douchebag you want to hit.

One thing I'm not clear on is how many Girl-Clones are there supposed to be with everyone just hanging out at Dyad all the time you'd think that would come up are they still monitoring the others? Dyad itself should never of been exposed on this level because it feels like the entire shadow organization is run and staffed by like 3-4 people.

I eagerly await Team Hendrix' new in-house muscle next week showing their enemies in the worlds of drug dealing and school politics what for. Poor Rachel. Just when you think she's suffered enough, she has to sit through Scott teaching her the rules of some mega nerdy board game poo poo. Nothing she's done warrants this Hell.

Homestar Runner posted:Cosima is the best clone tho  Seriously though, her fighting Mrs. S was epic. I've had a Paul countdown clock for AGES, but his death this time, with the Sara dream sequence was dead-on, going to happen, no matter what. And it was sad. But at least it tied poo poo up together. Also, towards the recommendations earlier, no to Dollhouse. Really. The lead is so terrible, she brings the entire house down, and not in the good way. You can't ask to go through poo poo episodes, and sloppy premise, and a terrible lead. Too much. Those first episodes take forever to get through and by the time you do, it doesn't even seem worth it for what you get. The premise is shoddy at best, creepy at worst. Whedon's worst work. Weirdly, since Ksenia Solo's in Orphan Black, try seeing her other work, in Lost Girl. She is sassy as gently caress in that show, easily the best part of it, but the other characters as funny and try to keep up. It's supernatural though, but you were already getting recommendations for the Vampire Diaries, so what the heck.

Okay but I loving loved this last episode. It had everything that this show is best at, turned up to 11. I'm not hating the Castor storyline, but it took me nearly the entire episode to realize I hadn't seen any one of them and didn't miss them a single bit.

I love that every season there's only 10 episodes, and they devote one of them to wacky impersonation hijinks in Alison's suburban dramaworld. Scott and Rachel's scenes were fantastic, and I hope there's more coming. They're the new Felix/Alison odd couple. Also: Donnie taking Alison's last name was a great way to patch up a plothole that I didn't even realise until they mentioned it - that Alison's birth certificate, seen way back in episode 2, had 'Hendrix' as her last name. It helps that it fit their characters perfectly. Leospeare fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Jun 1, 2015 |

Personally, I loved Felix's "ok, ok, I quit" moment. The absurdity of the clone-swapping and the urine-trading and the speechifying and all that stuff was so amped up this episode that he's saying exactly what we're all thinking (in the good way.) Also Helena. Come on. come on, hit me! I want you to do it, I want you to do it, come on! HIT ME!
