Hello Humans !!
Can we put a
spotlight on Orphan Black? Like, how amazing is that show??! I adore it,
especially because I study Biology and Bioethics are so strong against human
cloning. It is quite fascinating to get an insight onto how it might be if
clones existed or the extents of gene therapy. Imagine having various versions
of..well, yourself essentially. Cool, right?
So the show is about
the clones and their attempts to find out about their creators, killers and
this new phenomenon called Neolution. As the story proceeds, the clones begin
to share sibling like relationships, at times switching between one another(one
of the things I love most).
Tatiana Maslany is a
superb actress, I actually forget sometimes that it's in fact one person
playing all the various characters. So here is a summary of some of the
characters and what I fancy about them.
1. Elizabeth Childs
Detective
25 shades of
depressed
Over emotional
Drowned by her
unrequited love for Paul (definition of HOTNESS) and could not bear his
betrayal
2. Sarah Manning
Punk chic,
Previously a drug
dealer,
Has a daughter named
Kira (who's dad is Karl - played by Michiel Huisman, who also happens to be Daario
Naharis from Game of Thrones!!! All the more reasons to watch Orphan Black huh
:p),
Foster
daughter of Mrs S.
Definite
growth curve through the seasons - from immature to the leader of the clan.
3. Alison Hendrix
An absolute delight
:p She is hilarious - unintentionally :p
Her relationship with
Donnie goes through ups and downs - especially when she discovers that he is
her monitor but eventually all falls into place.
She is slightly
sadistic I would say or maybe psychotic (remember where she tortured Donnie?
And let her neighbour die? And buried Leaky? :p)
Soccer mum
4. Cossima
Nerd
Scientist
Somewhat Rastafarian
since she has dreadlocks and smokes weed a lot
Falls stupidly in
love with Delphine despite being aware that the latter is her monitor
Does not make the
smartest choices at times
Very passionate about
the science
5. Helena
Blonde, Ukrainian,
Religious - an extremist, trained to be an assassin and kills without pity. She
is not very talkative but the way she speaks is adorable. She loves children
and she is a good person at heart. I can't help but laugh during her scenes
even though she is sort of sadistic and ruthless. Some of my favourite lines
from her :
"You are a shit
mother ! "
"Hello Dirty
Paul"
"You threaten
Babies?"
"Hello Sestra"
7. Krystle
Dumb blonde
Beautician
Has an encounter with
Castor clones
Aware that there is
something very wrong happening but has no clue about clone club
Talks to everybody
about everything xp
A certain innocence
prevails in the dumbness :p
8. MK
Computer Geek
On the run - all the
time
Paranoid, slightly
too much for my taste
Considered Beth one of
her closest friends
Lost Nikki (another
clone) during a fire and seeks revenge for her death
6. Rachel Duncan
If i had to describe
her in one word : BITCH! Like actual bitch alert.
Self aware clone
Into bondage
apparently (referring to the steamy sex scene with Paul)
Classy and elegant
A figure of power and
authority
Unpredictable
Definitely cannot be
trusted
Seems to hold a
grudge against Sarah for being fertile
There are males
clones as well, from project Castor but I don't like them so :p
Penning off,
BusLady
