Has anyone else been watching Orphan Black? I really like it so far! It's created by John Fawcett (director of Ginger Snaps) & Graeme Mason (writer for Cube, which is another awesome Canadian movie). The show stars Tatiana Maslany (Ghost from Ginger Snaps 2)! In the second episode the main character goes to a town called "Bailey Downs" which I thought was really cool that they slipped that in Definitely check this show out & let me know what you think! I hope there are more Ginger Snap connections as the show goes on :3

Yes, I absolutely love it with all my heart and mind. It hit on all cylinders from the first episode and then accelerated after that. Sarah rocks!
The title reminds me of Ginger Snaps: it's puzzling until you see the show, then it grows on you. The title isn't really made to "sell" the show.
Yes, I saw that Alison lived in Bailey Downs.
Tatiana Maslany shows she can do just about anything as an actress. BTW, yes, I knew she was going to make her mark after I saw her in Unleashed.

I know. BBC only does 10 shows a year. On the other hand, Tatiana Maslany would probably die of exhaustion if they did more.
This is more like a mini-series. It's good though.
Good to talk to you again Epiklow!

Do you have any predictions for season 2?

I think Alison is going shake apart and continue to get more unstable. I think she probably finds out Donny is her monitor and kills him, and ends up almost in the same state Helena was in.
I think Cosima will continue to worsen throughout the season and will be on death's door in the final.
I think Sarah will discover that she has some enhanced physical abilities. Remember how easily she learned to shoot? Nobody picks up a gun and learns to shoot well in a single afternoon. Remember Kira's incredible healing? These clones, or at least, Sarah, have something special in their genetics. I think Sarah will continue to discover things that she's just good at doing.
I think there are going to be more clones discovered.
As far what happens with Kira and whether Sarah finds her or gets her back this season, I have no guess.
I used to think they'd bring Helena back. Now I think not until season 4 at least.

They've been adding a few more actors apparently. I'm excited for the next season I just hope it doesn't get too hyped and disappoints.

I'm not sure how I feel about this show anymore. It's still better than anything else that's on tv, but sometimes it's a bit too ridiculous. Donnie's character annoys me. He's unrealistically passive. Yes, it's a tv show and it's okay to be unrealistic, but it also bothers me how
!!!!!----SPOILERS DO NOT READ BELOW IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED MANY EPISODES---```!!!!!!!
Paul and Sarah were so close and then Kira's dad shows up (whose also very passive and really, how is he single and suddenly ready to get back with Sarah right away...) and Paul is suddenly out of the picture and seems bad again. He seems like a robot.
Some things I do like is Allison's character development. I like how they make her crazy but also likable at the same time. Kira is a cool character also. It's rare to have children in a show that aren't annoying. I feel like they can do a lot with her character in future episodes or have a spin off with her one day.
How are you guys liking the show now? What do you like and or dislike?

I love it to pieces! Season two answered so many questions and then managed to bring up hundreds more! I love this show so much! I love Donnie. Especially at the end. He really rose to a level of badass this year. I cannot say enough good things about this show!
