Episode 99: Spoilerific Special - Orphan Black

Posted in DefaultTag on May 4th, 2014 Comments

Alisa and Alex welcome you to Clone Club! That is, an incredibly spoilerific discussion of the first season of Orphan Black. If you haven’t watched it yet (it’s only 10 episodes), we’ll be right here when you’re through.

Things we discuss: the clones themselves (and we do use the c-word); representations of motherhood; whether and how the show is SF; the various characters - and their diversity - as well as a rather large amount of gushing love for the show overall.

We really mean it about the spoilers.
