So, tonight saw a double blow in
BBC America viewing public's hearts. First, the break out hit Orphan Black
finished its freshman run with massive reveals, spoilers and quite a few OMG
moments. Second, it was announced almost timed to coincide with the
airing of Orphan Black that Matt Smith would not be returning to the TARDIS
next season. Wow! Can we hurt anymore?
First, let
start with Orphan Black. If you have not been watching this amazing show, shame
on you. Go back now, we'll wait. Ok, caught up now? It’s great,
right? So Evil Proclone is the original I think. I can't believe Mrs. S
is evil. I think she probably worked for the company and had a change of
heart like Delphine. That's why Mrs. S moved to the US. I don't understand why Mrs. S. ran with Kirra,
though. I can't believe Alison killed the neighbor, although I knew the
Donnie was the monitor. Remember Donnie mentioned that he dated in
college when he was broken up with Alison? I bet it turns out to be a clone
too! I’m willing to bet Helena rises from the grave or is not really
dead, mainly because she's a really good character. I want to know how
Sara and Paul escaped the elevator because that looked really cool and there
were guards upstairs and downstairs. If the clones were made in the US, I
believe that the constitution would guarantee their rights based on the 13th
amendment. Okay, I think I got everything. Whew!
Now on to
our favorite Time Lord! Allon-sy! Maybe David Tennant will return.
Ha, but a girl can dream can't she! *Sigh* Now I'm questioning every
single word that has come down from on high from BBC regarding the 50th because
they had already made a statement saying that Matt was making season 8.
So why should we believe any statement up to and including who is
starring in the special? All names go back in the hat. Also I had
said before that the scenes shot did not seem to jive with what the official
press release said. Also Matt said painting, but Matt said staying so...
We now
return you to your regularly scheduled reruns...
Orphan
Black returns Spring 2014
Doctor
Who 50th Anniversary airs 23/11/13N.B.
I forgot to mention that both Tatiana Maslany and Jordan Gavaris deserve EMMY's! THEY ARE EXTRORDINARY ACTORS! I wish them the best of luck during the upcoming award season, not that they need it, they are shoe ins. :):):)
re: "If the clones were made in the US, I believe that the constitution would guarantee their rights"
ReplyDeleteYup, though it doesn't matter where they were made, in any modern country they are people and can't be owned, they aren't property. Slavery was outlawed long ago. The patent claim didn't change anything, and these people were operating outside the law to begin with.
It is necessary to suspend disbelief over minor errors of fact regarding scientific and legal matters in TV shows (and I usually do, even fairly major ones), but this one is a bit much when they are trying to make it a major plot point and imply the characters are idiots. Anyone who graduated high school (or the equivalent in the UK and France) should know that people can't be property. Yet they expect us to believe that the scientist clone and others are imbeciles that fell for whatever National Enquirer level paranoid nonsense the writers apparently fell for. They should quickly bury this point next season and write it off as a bit of irrational emotional panic on their part, and get better advisers. (no legal adviser who isn't a complete incompetent hack should have let them get away with that nonsense). It is a great show, I just hope word gets spread back to them so they don't "jump the shark"and keep up with this silliness. The actress is amazing and deserves better.
