Felix Dawkins is the unofficial star of Orphan Black. This is not an easy task to achieve, as he shares the platform with a set of amazingly feisty and intelligent women. The task becomes more difficult still when realizing that Felix comes from a dwindling portion of characters that aren’t played by Tatiana Maslany. His…
BEWARE: I spoil. Whoever told you that nice guys finish last is a liar and they should be flogged. This week, Metal Hurlant Chronicles opens up its hour finale with an episode about a man who promptly announces that he’s having a bad day. Now, being seasoned MHC watchers, we know that nothing is…
BEWARE: I spoil. “Pledge of Anya” takes us to an ancient world, covered in canyons and deserts. A small group of people foresee an imbalance on Earth that will wreak havoc on future human civilizations. This “dragon,” as they call it, will be hidden among the humans, and it is their duty to send a…
Today was the best day of my life. I am so happy with this episode. They didn’t throw me off a cliff, and when I cried, it was from tears of joy. Finally, we get an episode with LOTS of Helena (that’s why there are so many Helena pictures). But, before we get into her,…
299,792,458 Km/s The speed of light, at which time travel becomes theoretically possible… Thus opens 300,000 kilometres/seconde, a French, sci-fi short film by Stéphane Réthoré. This film has many things going for it: Paris, really cool clocks, a great 1950s noir vibe, and an ending that makes you want more. 300 000 KILOMÈTRES / SECONDE…
First aired May 12th, 2014. Emery manages to save Roman from his poison early into the episode with Teri’s help. When he’s all better, he and Emery celebrate by sleeping together and enjoy a rare moment of uninterrupted happiness. Eventually, Emery answers her phone and she and Roman meet up with everyone at the Mardi…
This show should honestly be four hours long. In fact, Saturday should just be Orphan Day, and one episode should last for 24 hours. Let’s get down to business because so much happened, SO MUCH. Alison was definitely not the main focus this week, so let’s start there. They’ve locked her up! They’ve put her…
First aired May 5th, 2014. This episode of Star-Crossed felt sort of like a mini spy movie. Roman and Drake realize destroying the Suvek didn’t work, so they enlist Emery and Grayson to help steal it from the Trags. Since revealing the existence of the Suvek would have repercussions for all Atrians, they have to move…
BEWARE: I SPOIL. Season two is spectacular. It’s mind-blowing. Intense. Edgy. Everything. If Orphan Black was a single man, we’d be married by now on our fifteenth child because they are pulling out all of the stops to get me completely infatuated. At the beginning of this episode, Sarah and Felix reminded me a…
First aired April 28th, 2014. Roman and Drake have enemies all over the Sector. They manage to come up with a pretty clever idea to turn them against each other. After Roman fails to convince the Atrian Council that Castor crashed their ship, he and Drake decide to destroy the Trags’ Suvek and blame it…
First aired April 21st, 2014. Teri, who’s been in the background lately, has taken center stage this episode. She breaks into the Atrian spaceship and uses its technology to start a hurricane stranding everyone at the school. While at the school, Teri drugs Roman with an Atrian plant that makes him uninhibited and kind of…
BEWARE: I spoil. While the first episode of this new season definitely wowed, the second episode made me dramatically impatient with confusion. Clearly, Orphan Black is too intense for my well-being. Last article, I talked about Manson and Fawcett being the kings of lying. You literally cannot trust anyone outside of the Clone Club, and…
