We have 23C today and tomorrow than it's back to 33C and remains around 30 for the unseeable future. I've had way more than enough of summer already.

This is only mild spoilers but he leaves the show off-screen between S3 and S4. Tatiana, surely I have no bias here of course...

I didn't remember whose chain it was Btw is your username related to this Helena? now that was clever. Well done Nope. It evolved from Florence's Machine (which is obviously a play on Florence and the Machine) after GMM kept saying Ex Machina or something when referring to me. The Helena part comes from, well, my name. But perhaps the common name is why I'm so fond of her. What do you think of "Rachel Duncan. Uber bitch." (I hope you read this as Sarah) Btw? One of my favourite things on the show is when Tat plays a clone pretending to be a different clone. Cloneception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloneception Yeah, I remember the Florence's Machine era, but I wasn't sure how Florence became Helena. I like that name a lot, it's really nice. I don't share her name, but Helena is the best clone. The most adorable and the funniest, which is something for a serial killer. Cloneception is so funny and such an insane performance I don't even know how she pulls it off. I don't like Rachel, the only time I could sympathize with her was when Duncan commited suicide. She's a good character, but logically the least likable.

I think Alison and Donnie also provide some hilarious stuff (i'm sure you've seen the twerking scene by now ), as does Krystal (who you haven't really met properly yet). Yes, Rachel is undoubtedly a villain/antagonist, but a well crafted one, and I can't help but love the character while finding her reprehensible. There may be a few more moments before the end where you sympathise with her though The whole process must be exhausting for the cast and crew given how many times they need to reshoot each scene to get Tatiana as each clone. The dance party at the end of S2 had her dancing alone in a room as each clone in the production process fun to watch but nightmare to film, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Helena more than all the others, but the second place is pretty much a split, I mean it's impossible to choose between Alison and Sarah and Cosima. I haven't seen much of Krystal yet, but she seems adorable stupid. I'm not a huge fan of Beth or MK though, not that their reaction to the clone business isn't 100% realistic. Rachel is a really rich and layered character, I find it hard to like her because she's basically hidden behind a hard shell, a poker face and immaculate white CEO outfits. But that's the point of the character though. Yeah, but it's totally worth it from an audience point of view. Tatiana should be paid five times what the main GoT cast gets for their "acting".

You are just starting Season 4 now, right? This one is really the season of Beth, you get to find out more about her. I loved it so much because i didn't realise I wanted Beth's backstory until we actually got it. Not sure how much you have seen of MK yet but she does get fleshed out some more. Yep, Rachel is this ice queen CEO (with ocassionally displays of rage and distress) and makes such a compelling villain. Her character really makes sense though, seeing as how she grew up considering herself the "property" of others, tracking multiple other versions of herself through their lives, having that sense of being "special" reiterated as she is the only self aware clone...it makes sense how egotistical and cold she is. Helena actually works as a great foil to her as Shen had a similar upbringing in which she was told she was special and given an inflated sense of self-importance. But we see her overcome her indoctrination and give in to that longing for family and acceptance and love and ultimately become a better person...albeit one with homicidal tendencies.

I already want to rewatch the series Naaaah, you underestimate my binging power, I finished season 4 at 2am today. The beth part was very interesting, I had this concept in my mind about Beth and I liked her and this happened and it wasn't what I had in mind and I wasn't a fan of her. MK is a little all over the place, but she's a good plot device. And I can't decide if Krystal is annoying or funny. I mostly considered her funny until her meeting with Sarah. In that scene she came off as one of those people who feel superior for no reason and make others feel bad about themselves. Not that Sarah takes bullshit, but it would totally affect me, so I'm still undecided about Krystal. Rachel is a great villain. And yeah it's pretty funny that Helena kills people with her bare hands and somehow she still isn't the biggest or only psychopath of the clones. They are all kinda cray cray except maybe Cosima. Ikea provides the worst, most atrocious, most ridiculous, most unreliable service I have ever experienced in my entire life. Public utility companies provide ten times the service this fucking store does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Boy, I hope no one here was still planning on watching Orphan Black, because you two have spoiled half the show But yeah, I agree with pretty much all of what was said. As for the new GOT episode - I really enjoyed it, was on the edge of the seat and gasped at the end, and then after the screen turned black I began to think about what I saw and it just fell apart. Which seems to happen pretty often. 3 hours ago, RhaenysB said: Naaaah, you underestimate my binging power, I finished season 4 at 2am today.

I mean... it's been out for over a year. Does this still count as spoiler? I promise I'll use spoiler tags for season 5. Yeah, pretty much. She's funny on screen but I would probably never talk to her in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
