I finished watching S1 of Orphan Black today (and then promptly watched the one episode of S2 that is currently available). It's really great! There's a lot of things to love about it, but I think the main one is Tatiana Maslany, because OMG HOW IS SHE SO GOOD AT ACTING A+++++ CASTING

Things I liked, in no particular order:
  • Felix and his relationship with Sarah and later Allison, he's just so nice and supportive yet unwilling to take any of sarah's shit
  • How French Delphine is. Whoever is writing and/or teaching her how to say her lines is brilliant, because omg yes "a jogging" perfect. (For the curious, "un jogging" or sometimes "un footing" is the noun of going for a jog/run in French. It's one of those French words that look and sound like they're from English but aren't, or at least not that way.) I swear, her French accent is perfect. You can tell she's fluent, but not bilingual from it. There's something very french about the way she says 'Cosima' as an interjection. It sounds subtly different from the way she says it when she's speaking to Cosima, because she doesn't have her accent on yet. This is a brilliant brilliant thing to hear and I would love this show just for this.
  • Cosima. OMG COSIMA Come to my arms you science nerd you. (She's also really hot /shallow.)
  • Art! Art investigating shit and being Beth's freind even when she turns out to be Sarah. Partners!
  • Allison: looks nice but is really fucking scary underneath (I've no idea what a soccer mom is, but I dare hope they're not all like that). That said, her actions wrt Aimsley in the S1 finale made me lose a lot of sympathy for her. We'll see how that turns out.
  • Emilia! I liked her, even if she wasn't in it much. (Not sure how helena ended up in a convent in Ukraine, given that "the church" probably meant the Church of England here.)
So yeah. Orphan Black. It's great and you should watch it.

I love how everyone who's seen this show agrees that Cosima is the hot one. Because she absolutely is! And not just for her science nerdi-ness, but generally. (My spouse says it's because she stands up straighter than the rest? But I think that's not it.

I'm sorry be the one to break it to you: soccer moms are very much like that, with the possible exception of the unregistered firearms. Goody-two-shoes on top, Lord of the Flies all the way down. I have strong feelings about soccer moms, though Allison is the one I most closely resemble.

I think that Beth Childs is my favorite! Is that terrible? I'm hoping for some flashback in s2.
