It's certainly more darker and exciting. I love Helena. Did you see the most recent when she dressed up as Alison?

introduced new challenges - that worm, ugh, could have left that out, but probably important.
Loved Jesse Towing, loved the relationship forming between Donnie and Helena.

I thought I needed to see where we all can come together and agree. It's Orphan Black!. I don't have cable but I pet sit at houses that do and have been obsessed since marathon watching the first 2 seasons in two weeks last year.

This year was trying to find jobs with pets with people who had BBCAmerica. I finally got to see that whole season last week after patchworking it during the spring.

I think Tatiana Malany is amazing. I swear she changes the bones structure in her face as she goes from one character to the next. If you guys like to read more there is a forum called previosly tv and they have a pretty good area on Orphan Black and a ton of other shows.

My brother in law wanted to see the show with me, somewhere along the way, I realized how face pacedthis show is and how absurd it must appear to others,

I tried telling my roommate about it. She was not convinced.

Then she got an Amazon Fire stick and was tooling around. She found it, not remembering it was the show I was talking about and started to watch.

5 episodes at a time. She said it was like crack.

I know. It is .

Her chances of winning are slim, but she is one gifted actress.

I am half way through the 3rd season. My daughter has been wanting me to watch it for a couple of years. Well, we have been watching it together since she came home from college for the summer. It's weird that I forget it's Tatiana playing a different character in each scene, she's that good! Helena has become my favorite character.

Also a Helena fan and love how she manages to just come in and kick butt! She's a riot. Such a beast but also so sweet with Kyra and Jessie Towing.

They are doing a good job so far, with keeping the story interesting. The cliffhanger showing a 'new' enemy/threat to deal with now. That worm thing....WHAT??? It can be a little confusing sometimes trying to keep who is who straight, mainly the bad guys, but it's still so good.

Tatiana Maslany is incredible in this show as everyone says. And I do often forget that all of the sestras are her. They are all so different and imo none of their characteristics overlap. Even the new manicure girl, I forget her name, is totally different, with her own facial mannerisms. Of course a lot is in the writing but Maslany pulls it off just so well.

The only thing I don't like about the series is having to wait a whole year for it to come back!! Torture!!

Fri Jul 17, 2015, 07:18 PM

where Tatiana talked about how she created a whole life for each character and to keep them straight, she created different playlists for them and she would listen to the music during film breaks before she plays a character. It was interesting, you should google it.

So thrilled to see all of the extended family at the end with Sarah, Cosima, Helena and Allison all together. Helena was a hoot this season and Allison was pretty rocking as well.

which is shocking that Viola Davis is the first African American woman to win an emmy for lead of a drama series. That is seriously insane. She had some amazing moments with her character that was beyond courageous acting, but I am sad Tatiana didn't win.

I don't believe there could be an Orphan Black without her.


So, well done Viola, if Tatiana was going to lose, I am glad it is to you and your incredible acting skills. Here's to you Tatiana, we all appreciate your talent!
