You've all probably already heard (it was announced a couple of weeks ago), but Tatiana was nominated for a Golden Globe. Well deserved.

I finally watched this show via OnDemand and it was great! I pretty much devoured all 10 episodes in about 4 days. The actress is amazing and really carries the show.

If I had any complaint about the show, I think Paul was miscast. The actor was sort of blahcakes, although the character eventually grew to be somewhat likable. I wish that he had more charisma or something because I think his character had potential to be even more of an ally/love interest for Sarah.

I just re-watched it with my wife so she could see it and she loved it. I don't think I've ever gotten her to devote so much time to marathoning a show. Still so heartbroken for Helena. We're in complete agreement with Jadzia about Paul. My wife made a comment about him being the creepiest pretty boy she's ever seen. Terrible casting. Unless they add robots to the show, and Paul was a robot all along, in which case that was some awesome casting.

If they ever re-made this show on an American network they would have just had Sarah stay in the cop role and solve different cases every week while the orphan storyline would have been the background storyline.

Orphan Black: Season One is now available on Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime just signed an exclusive deal for Season One and all future seasons.

Episode 6 is my personal favorite. Quit after season one and you'll remember it as a fantastic show.

Nice.

My S3 recordings were written over. I'm trying to get back into S3 and finish through Amazon before starting season 4.

I had no problem with season two, but season three definitely bored me.

Season four just started but that premiere? Holy hell! If they can keep that sort of thing up, it'll feel fresh again.

Another cast reunion/table read. The first episode they did was season 1 episode 6, "Variations Under Domestication", better known as the one where Alison has a party an all hell breaks loose.


It looks like the link isn't showing up. It was on Facebook.
