Helena update


I couldn't resist the juxtaposition with the hurricane post above.  I'm getting ready to start season 5 after having thoroughly enjoyed the first four seasons.  Helena has become my favorite clone.

The topmost video is the least NSFW of the group (re gore).  And all contain potential spoilers.


For those unfamiliar with the Orphan Black series, go to Seeking Advice on Orphan Black and watch the trailer for season 1. 

Addendum:  I just finished binging all five seasons, and I loved the series, but I do need to point out one "movie mistake" which slipped by all the fact-checking:


This is a screencap of the medical record of the little Afghan girl who was brought to the village because her Wilms' tumor offered special research possibilities.  But notice her blood pressure:  90/138.

  1. Glad you're liking the series! Are you going to continue on, to Orphan Black: Echoes? (/c Kristen Ritter).

    Also, Tatiana's brother (Daniel) is a co-star in the latter seasons of the Canadian show, Murdoch Mysteries.

    1. I checked out the spinoff Helsinki comic from our library and was not impressed. And Echoes seems to have a very mediocre Rotten Tomatoes score, so I'll give it a pass for now.

    2. It's telling that OB:E came out months earlier in Australia and by the time it came out in the rest of the world the buzz for the show was dead.

    3. Also kinda nuts that Tatiana Maslany has had one lead since the show ended, and that was the egregiously cancelled She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (worth watching even if you're not into superheroes - don't let the IMDB score fool you, the show was hated by the incel mob). Most of her other work has been voice-overs on animated shows, according to IMDB.

  2. I'm not the biggest fan of this show, but I did watch the entire series alongside my wife, who loved it. In the early months of the pandemic there was a cast "reunion" and script reading, that fans might enjoy:
