Orphan Black

I checked it out after reading your post. I really like this show so far. It's a cool concept, and it's entertaining seeing Sarah pretending to be Beth; Even more so, watching Tatiana Maslany play the different clones.
 
I came across this show when I was looking for something to watch in the On Demand section the other night, and I love it. I watched all four episodes they had on there in a row. Crazy story, it seems like every episode has a "no way" moment lol. I hope they can keep up the tension and quality for an entire season. It doesn't hurt that the lead actress looks a little like Summer Glau from Firefly.
 
Watched the season finale last night. Great show. I really hope enough people watched it for there to be a season two. C'mon people, track this show down wherever you can find it and give it a chance!
 
I liked the first season. The science was actually pretty good, compared to most shows. The biologist cutting (not pulling) off a bit of hair for a DNA sample was a low point though, given the only viable DNA is in the follicle.

I'll catch inaccuracies like that once in awhile watching shows - the minor ones aren't too bad since I don't expect them to be 100% accurate. But then you have hilariously bad ones like this from grainy security footage:

I love this series. Tatiana Maslany is such a good actress. She plays the parts so well that you really believe the clones are different people.

My favourite clones are Alison the uptight soccer mom, and Sarah's assassin twin Helena. Helena is badass hot.
 
They have a panel at comic con Kate in the day on Friday I believe. I'm totally going to that one!

They were in a smaller ballroom and the line was ridiculous!! I didn't get in, but they had to walk down a public hall to exit the ballroom. I got a few really good pics of everyone, except Tatiana.
 
Finally watched season two on DVD. I liked how they managed to keep the momentum going. It was a bit more scattered, not as laser-focused as season one, but still a great show. Could have lived without the transsexual clone. Felt like a cheap gimmick, and with only ten episodes you can't afford to waste any. Hope they can keep the show from going off the rails, and that they don't get so bogged down in the conspiracies that it becomes confusing. Way looking forward to season three, though!
