Orphan Black

[Blaze]

Yeah, she's one hell of an actress. My friend and I believe the only reason she got snubbed is because Orphan Black is a sci-fi show, which is BS. The Emmy's should award television shows, as they say, and not just certain genres.

Not sure if you watch Penny Dreadful, but the same friend now said Eva Green is the best actress on TV, when she used to think it was TM. Green is amazing, but I still gotta give the nod to TM.

As you said, she imitates clones so well, and the scenes are hilarious. Alison is so damn funny with everyone she has screen-time with. I think that makes her my favorite character, slightly over the others.

On another note, I think Skylar Wexler is going to be something special when she grows up.

Doesn't surprise me that they would snubb a sci-fi show. Same thing for Hannibal which should have at least gotten a few nomination this year but was completely disregarded. For the most part I don't care about those award things, but it such when you see a show and people that really deserve it not get any recognition.

I've never heard of Penny Dreadful, although from the Wikipedia page it sounds interesting. I've seen Eva Green in a few movies but nothing that blew my mind, but again it might just have been the roles and her not having the proper material to shine. I might check out the show and get back to you on that 😛

I also agree about Skylar Wexler, what a talented little girl! I'm not a huge fan of Kira,but you'd think that Sarah was actually her mom, they have great mom/daughter chemistry on screen.

Yeah, it bugs me when someone really deserves a win or nomination and they don't get it. Hopefully TM gets a Golden Globe nomination.

Penny Dreadful's an interesting show, I think there's a thread for it in the Bronze. Season 1 had it's slow parts IMO, but it was still an interesting show. S2 looks like it's going to be great though. It doesn't hurt S1 only had 8 episodes, so it should be easy to catch up on. Let me know what you think if you watch it! 🙂

Skylar makes Kira adorable, hard not to love her haha. "I'm not a monkey anymore, I'm a leapord."

Just finished watching til the end of season 2, I really enjoyed it. Cant wait for the next season, its a show that doesnt sit still, thats for sure.

 

[Spikefan31]

I love Orphan Black!!! Allison is my favourite character. 🙂

 

[MarlieTheSlayer]

I finished season 2 about a week ago and boy did I enjoy it.
Tatiana Maslany is a one of the best actresses. I keep forgetting she plays all the diferent clones. She's just too good 🙂

Do you think

Spoiler: Spoiler!

Rachel died or is she going to be a pirate in the next season? lol

Spoiler

I'm going for pirate, definitely pirate lol. I think her role is too important at the moment to kill her off.

Usually I'm all for death because I love sad episodes, but in a show like Orphan Black, they would actually benefit from not killing anyone, since every one brings something really important to the plot.

Spoiler

I agree with Blaze, I think Rachel is too important to be killed off so early. I have a feeling she'll be an antagonist the whole way through unless someone worse reveals themselves.

On a non-spoiler note, can't wait for S3! 🙂

 

[Blaze]

Can't wait for s3 either! It's too bad that the show isn't on Netflix though, I might have to wait for the DVD release.

On a completely unrelated note, I learnt that Evelyne Brochu (Delphine) is Quebecoise and not French (from France). She does the accent fantastically, surely it fooled me!

Well, when I was catching up to the show (I started behind Season 1), I used a secure site I haven't had an issue with called Watch Series, and I've used it for more than one show (The Strain, The Last Ship) for the shows that Netflix doesn't cover. It's pretty reliable, and pretty safe (I've been using it for awhile now), so you could use that. Episodes are up sometimes before they even air on television, depending.

As for Evelyne, wow, I didn't know that. Orphan Black has such a talented cast, ranging from Tatiana Maslany to Skylar Wexler. It's a shame it doesn't get the respect it deserves from awards like the Emmy's and Golden Globe. Here's hoping Tatiana and the show earn more respect.

I've used streaming sites in the past, to be honest I'm not too scared of viruses, my computer has both an antivirus and a prolonged warranty against malware/virus. I guess with a show like Orphan Black, I just like supporting the show and buying it vs. downloading it/streaming it. Especially since it's Canadian 😛 We'll see how patient I am, this show comes out pretty quick on DVD anyhow so it's not too long of a wait. And then I can just binge watch it!

On thing that I am glad for (even if the show doesn't get proper recognition) is that it does promote Canadian actors. French TV in Canada is pretty big, but English TV tends to suffer a lot and most actors go to the States for their career. It's really cool seeing so many of our actors featured on such a great show. 
Oh also, just realized Jordan Gavaris (Felix) was on Degrassi lol Insane that so many of our Canadian stars start their career on that show (Nina Doprev, Shanae Grimes, Drake).

I feel you haha, I'm glad it airs on a night I'm usually able to watch it on TV so I can support it.

Though I believe it was either GRRM or the creators of the show Game of Thrones who said they don't care how people watch it, whether they stream it or not. It leads to buzz and hype, so that was a good point.

And that's pretty cool, I always love when a show leads to actors becoming popular, and they tend to go on to be ones I really like. Yvonne Strahovski from Chuck, a lot of the crew from Buffy, Jason Dohring from Veronica Mars, a ton of people from GoT (Maisie Williams, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner were all very new to acting, if not brand new) and now Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black.
