Fun finale, but I'm a bit concerned where those last few of minutes are going to end up. That was a very strange couple of moments there.

Strong finish to the season.

I like the male clone twist. Some of the other stuff, not so much. The writing of Kiera and Sarah going to Dyad and then just strolling out was sloppy because it achieved nothing, for example.

I'm afraid that this series is starting to remind me a little of Lost.

It had an interesting premise and a really strong first season that made us want to see more, but with time it just kept introducing more and more bizarre twists that were interesting, but would only be satisfying if we got a reasonable conclusion to them. In the end we got a pretty horrible ending that left a ton of things unanswered (which I guess some people like).

It seems like orphan black is going down a similar path.

Just enjoy how good Maslany is. Yeah the story is a bit silly, but that's not why I'm watching at least.

That might be part of why I'm not so sure about the male clones. It would take away from seeing her on screen, as well as having a male actor doing a similar thing. Good at it or not, I'd rather see her.

The problem with what you guys are against is exactly what the show needs to continue, to survive and to grow.

If it didnt expand to tell the story of Dyad, the goals of the cloning project and dip into some of the backstory details it would have just tripped over its own feet stumbling around week to week.

I agree, the show is just going to the next layer of the project. I thought this season was really good except for that one bad episode and that episode put Paul back into play. Until it falls off the rails for me I won't worry about whether or not the show might fall off the rails.

The problem is not what they're doing, it's that they're likely doing it poorly. I'll admit that it's too early to tell and I'm reserving judgement for now. Right now I'm just afraid that it's not going to be done too well.

True, and really, I should expect it to remain awesome until they give me a reason not to. Who knows, it might be even better now.

If they needed a male clone they should have called up Victor from Dollhouse.

Cal aka Dario from Game of Thrones is kind of a scene halter.

Loved this season. Yeah, Tony episode was kinda lame, but the final two episodes were awesome. Loved where they're going with the male clones. Helena with a bunch of weirdo guys!

Cosima is Rooney Mara of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Maslany did the audition of Cosima with glasses and they decided to keep the glasses.

Cosima also appears to have a bigger chest.

I can't think of a show currently on the air that would get as much of a internet-freakout as OB if it got cancelled.

Game of Thrones being canceled would create white hot internet rage, not even close.
