The thing is, Helena was sure she was the "Original", and supposedly the guy who made her kill the other clones. If Helena and Sarah were indeed identical twins, both could be "the Original", then. It would explain why Sarah could conceive, and why Helena's "mentor" claimed she was the Original one. The super healing theory is an interesting one though, I'm really eager to see what it is really going on there.

@windsprints So glad to see you over there! Thanks again for the sides!

@truthaboutluv Oh, I do agree that the re-hash of previous storylines is tiring, but I'm not expecting much more from these writers, they have proven this past season and a half that their creativity and ability to construct interesting storylines was basically inexistant. So if I have to sit and watch the same story done to the nth degree anyway, I'd rather have it at least portrayed by a capable actor. Just like when it comes to Blaine's storyline in 5x16, I know that it will end up in him being propped left and right and comforted in the fact that he is Mr Golden boy and that he is fantastic, just like in previous seasons. On the same level, Rachel never seemed to struggle because there were people if not better at least equally as talented as her, but rather because she had a mean dance teacher. She didn't struggle with having an understudy or a difficult director with clashing artistic view, she struggled with Santana being mean to her. I feel like we are bound to see repeated patterns because the writers just don't care anymore, anyway. Same goes for the characters' interactions: in my wildest hopes, the writers would take the opportunity of the move to NY to shake stuffs a bit, but it seems like we'll have Blam/Klaine/Samcedes/Hummelberry, whereas I wish we could see more of Blaine with Artie, Sam and Kurt, etc. I was disappointed Glee didn't use more Kurt/Santana scenes sans Rachel, for instance. So I completely side with you when it comes to the point and plot of the episode, I just try to see the "good" side of it, I guess.

I used to dislike the character, although I really like Sarah Drew as an actress, but over the past 2 seasons, she grew on me, and I really like her now. Now, Jackson, I never really warmed up to him, but mainly because Jesse Williams didn't convice me in his acting, and I felt like he was eating up some screentime I had preferred to see devoted to Alex, who I think often got the short end of the stick in the past seasons. He is featured more proeminently now that Jo is there, but I wish we had had more of him before. I started watching when S1 was broadcasted in France, which was I guess when S3 was in the US, but caught up pretty quickly, bless the Internet.

I found it pretty interesting compared to what Meredith said back to Owen, that she had been "raised by a Cristina". I know by the time she said it to show Owen he shouldn't push Cristina into motherhood, but she is/was IMO not like Ellis, who clearly wasn't as motherly as Cristina would be if she was a mom. It also reinforced what she said when Owen suggested he would take care of the kids while she would concentrate on work, that she was not a monster and would be there for a kid if they had one. Globally, I agree that it wasn't an interesting episode, since what was shown there was basically something we knew for a long time now, but I really liked that the show devoted a complete episode to Sandra, whose acting truly is superb. She is sure gonne be missed.

This has probably been discussed before, but I think Sarah is the "original", since normally clones are supposed to be sterile, and Kira would be the proof that sarah isn't one of the clones. Now I don't know if they'll keep it this way in this 'verse. I'm curious about Rachel too, and now that Helena isn't in the picture, it'll be nice to explore yet another type of clone. Particularly, her motivations intrigue me. As for Felix, I hope he remains one of the "normal" characters over there. I adore him and his interactions with Alison were great, but I wouldn't want him to be entangled into this mess on a personnal level more than he is now, i.e. a great support to Sarah and her döppelgangers. And I want more Art too.

To me, it is different, in the sense that had Kurt been straight, that wouldn't have prevented him from being beaten, so he is not the "tragic gay" here. I get what you mean in the sense that the show's point is that homophobia still exists out of Lima, but that is a truth that is valable both for him and Blaine. And yes, this is once again Glee venturing in the "Very Special Episode" territory, but if Ryan wanted to go there anyway, I'd rather have Chris Colfer handle this storyline than Darren Criss, purely on an acting point of view.
