TWAIN Acquire - the ORPHAN BLACK thread

the last two eps have been better, things actually "hapening" etc

still not great

i definitely teared up at the [REDACTED EMOTIONAL MOMENT] scene

every time i turn around my babies eating sand. i do not know where this sand comes from. i let them eat it

jam burgers

That was such an emotionally satisfying finale. I love how they disposed with all the obviously rubbish villains within the first 15mins or so and just spent the rest of the episode giving us what we've been wanting all along.

So is that it or are there any offshoots planned or anything?

I thought that finished off taht particular narrative quite effectively anyway.

JUst hoping we are going to hear from Tatiana Maslany before too long with as strong a role or set of roles. She is obviously pretty versatile. The ability to play off herself or off the substitute they shoot with is pretty phenomenal.

This is it for television

The merchandising is churning a little, every action/science fiction television show has some sort of comic book spinoff. For the people that buy those things, probably not anyone who actually works on the tv show, just some people writing little stories of other clones.

Even after the credits rolled and they had the little dancing clip with all the different clones, I have this mental disconnect where I know all of the clones are played by one woman, but I still look at them and see different people

enjoyed the finale a lot -- especially the sistrahs hanging out together

omg @ babies eating sand. lololol

was made of tears during the baby delivery scene

Even after the credits rolled and they had the little dancing clip with all the different clones

I missed this!

It might have been only on the live broadcast. They kept teasing "clone club, watch after the credits for something special!"

Just finally watched the last season of this -- we watched the first 4 in real time, but we were wrapped up in other things when season 5 rolled around. We weren't even sure we needed to watch because we'd gotten a little tired of it by the end of S4. But we got totally sucked back in in a few episodes and overall enjoyed the last season. They labored mightily to try to tie everything together, and the effort showed, but I respected the attempt at coherence. Mostly just loved the characters, as usual. Good show, satisfying ending. It's my favorite Buffy-ish thing since Buffy.

yeah otm. even the bumpy ride towards the end was kinda buffyish in its way.

In the end the conspiracy seemed a bit small potatoes compared to what it felt like in S1, but I guess that's a) inevitable when you have several seasons to get hyped for it and b) kinda the point, i.e. the emperor has no clothes?

Agreed this was a really good show w/ lots of loveable characters.

Is it even possible to do a multi-season conspiracy show without the continual drawing-back-the-curtain getting boring or ridiculous?

I see Tatiana Maslany is in Destroyer but have yet to see that.
Hope she is going to have an interesting film career or more well made quirky TV.

New Orphan Black stories. Narrated by TM herself. Sample here.

what!!?

I catastrophically lost interest in this, about halfway during the second season. Was it worth it?

I enjoyed it while it was happening, but I think they totally punted the final act.

I absolutely loved this show and to my shame I dipped halfway thru the last season

Have you heard about this? Orphan Black cast reunion read through of some episode scripts. I missed the beginning and it's live
