Summer is long, decided to do a rewatch. I am only on season 1 and already so much I had forgotten on its 5 year run! It must have been such hard work to play this many characters for Tatiana Maslany, its great she got an emmy for it in the end. I am enjoying it again so far, this is going to be a fun binge - its nice to know its quality throughout.

I made a start on it a few years ago (watched about six episodes) and was liking it, but got out of the habit of watching it, so need to get back to it. Will make a plan for 2018🙂
 
I've finished s1, perfect binge length. The acting is phenomenal. Kinda considering moving the TV to the back patio to watch the rest. My couch is terribly uncomfortable!
 
The clones are dancing omg. Haha this is a real fun show on the rerun too. I never really got much into the clone club stuff, but was aware of it. This is a really fun show to be a fan of. Are there any forums for it about?

Almost finished s2. I tend to leave the show running even if I get up to leave the room. Most shows I dont bother rewinding but I did have to do it a couple times to keep up with the military stuff. I think this is only my second viewing.

I under-rated Kira the character and the kid who plays her. Kiras dad is a hunk. Charlotte grew up very fast by the end of the series, but she did look young for 8.

I am Helena! Which "Orphan Black" Clone Are You?

You are Helena!
You’re a wild child - impulsive and radical. Your actions are usually fueled by hardcore emotions. You feel everything deeper than most people can even imagine – and you trust your emotions to lead you in the right direction. You’re extremely loyal to a select few – everyone else better not cross you.


hahahaha correct

Makes a mental note to definitely not cross you!

Agree on Kira, her dad being a hunk and the acting! Really great casting in this show!

I'm Cosima 😀 not surprising, I'm a lesbian scientist, had the quiz given me anyone else I would have questioned it's accuracy lol.
 
I did another quiz that gave me Cosima, but I didnt share that one cos it was definitely NOT accurate lol. This one was better. I think Helana works, Mix some Alison and a little Crystal paranoia in too 😛 Helana cracks me up.

Felix is great @EarthLogic, he has great chemistry with the Clones. The accents sounds realistic to me, I wonder if the cast had coaching?

S3 didnt suffer without Kira at all, I think it might be my fave as we get heaps of Clone time and the relationships are pretty evenly spread. Alison and Donny are brilliant. I love their money dance, so much humour, its nice to have that balance.

Probably. Though not all of them are up to scratch IMO. I initially thought Sarah was Australian - it's like she's trying to mix generic British with some sort of cokney and sometimes it's off. But she does get more solid as the series goes on. Her German as Katya was hokey, though. Felix is good, even if his colloquialisms are occassionally overdone. The actress playing Mrs S is obviously Irish in real life so no problem there.

One character I am sick of by now (just finished S1) though is Hot Paul (yes, that's what I'm calling him 😛). The actor just has the most monotone, lazy voice. We on BB like to mock DB's bad acting early on, but seriously this guy makes David look like an award-winning thespian! He also has no real function outside hot sex and muscle/bodyguard (the double-agent thing doesn't really count as we know he's on the good side - unless there's another twist) and while I'm all for seeing him in the former capacity 😉, when he's fulfilling the latter he's just so dull.
 
Sarah does not sound Australian. Now Im sad there is no aussie clone 😛 she does lay it on a bit thick maybe it helps distinguish them apart when she was acting.

Agreed on Paul, he is so cardboard. Typical army man. He has a nice body but doesnt thrill me character-wise.

Have you ever seen an intervieuw with hot Paul? I was shocked to see that the actor actually has a personality 😀

I guess it made me realize his acting isn't that bad because he is really different in real life, he seems like a pretty eccentric guy.

Really wasn't a fan of Paul the character though.
 
Done with S3. I love this show so much the thought of finishing it actually hurts!
