I have finally caught up on this season of Orphan Black so far and OK, this season has had its ups and downs and I've been almost entirely uninvested in anything to do with Alison's plot, but ALL THIS IS FORGIVEN because I'm FINALLY GOING TO GET AN ALISON-HELENA PLOT. For three years, I have been waiting for this. THREE YEARS. My day has come at last!

Other things I'm generally really into: Mrs. S. as everyone's mom, Gracie as everyone's awkward angry little sister, Rachel as bored board game addict ...? Like I will be contented if the only place that plot goes is 'Rachel develops a secret addiction to Settlers of Catan, TELLS NO ONE.'

Things I'm not into: Paul! But he's dead! :D! (Sorry, people who liked Paul.)

Paul dying seriously felt like ever Kira boyfriend's exit scene combined into one satisfying bolus.

I mean, I'm with you, but also I'm not sure even the satisfaction of Paul's death quite compares with the vicious relief I felt when everyone solemnly agreed there was no possible way to resuscitate Vedek Bareil.

...Okay this is true. Maybe if we had actually gotten to see the explosion? Maybe if Sarah had gazed at the grille and given a sad, sad sigh of relief, while Julian Bashir popped up out of the tile grout to give her his firm medical opinion that there was no surviving narrative redundancy.

Honestly Julian Bashir's greatest moment. Would happily hire Alexander Siddig to perform highly unethical medical experiments inevitably ending in tragic death on all dull and unncessarily square-jawed love interests across the board.

I thought Paul went out well, and while I was a bit surprised, I wasn't too upset. Good for him having an honorable end!

Heh, I adore Alison, and I even like the drug dealer plot. The scene from week before last with her and Donny dancing on the bed with the money flying? BWAH!

I really love this show. I'm trying to get Aspen to watch it with me this summer so I can rewatch.

I find Alison really interesting as a character, but my favorite parts of the show are Clones Hanging Out Together, so I've been sad that Alison's plotline seemed so separated out from everybody else's for most of this season. I'm much happier now she's getting more integrated again!

MAKE ASPEN WATCH IIIIIIT. Do it!

Cosima playing Alison was possibly the best thing ever! She was so utterly terrible! I have my fingers crossed for Helena using scrapbooking tools as a weapon.

Like I will be contented if the only place that plot goes is 'Rachel develops a secret addiction to Settlers of Catan, TELLS NO ONE.'

Head canon accepted!

Not going to miss Paul. At least he went out with a... oh wait. Too soon.

[skygiants]

Oh man, HILARIOUSLY BAD. I can't wait until Cosima or Alison has to play Rachel. Or Helena! Oh my God, can you imagine the scenery-chewing if they get Alison to do Helena?

>.> I mean, I laughed.
