  1. I don't think Rachel has babies rabies. I think the issue for her was that a clone had something she didn't. Rachel probably thought of herself as special and even superior to the other clones. After all, she's known what she is and she's a big wig in a big corporation. I think that is part of her major draw to Kira. Plus, the whole Kira being the only thing that can save her at this point from dying like the other clones. Sarah might have been willing to remove Kira's bone marrow for Cosima, but for Rachel? I did love the room Rachel had for Kira. It was pink and little girlish, but still very ordered and sterile. So what Rachel would design for a little girl. When they showed the fire Helena set I totally saw a news reporter going "and 17 children died in a fire last night..." I didn't catch the accent change when Rachel was pretending to be Sarah, but something about watching her face when running just seemed off.
  2. Just because you consider Paul's encounter with Rachel to be assault doesn't mean everyone does and doesn't mean everyone has to sensor themselves for your feelings. A few things to consider: part of Paul's job of monitoring Beth involved having sex with her. So, in effect, Paul is a sex worker (I'm not making a value judgement here). I think he knew sex with Rachel was going to be part of the job of monitoring her and he took the job anyways. He could have left as her monitor at any time, which he did do later for reasons not related to sex with Rachel. Do you think if he had been sent to monitor another clone (who didn't know what she was) instead of Rachel and told to have sex with her he wouldn't have? Second, look at when Paul really got into Sarah. It was when she took off his clothes, threw him on the counter and mounted him. Paul enjoyed every minute of that and even mentioned it later. Now, you can certainly make the argument that since Paul thought Sarah was Beth, that could count as sexual assault. Paul also got a little aggressive with Sarah when Felix was hiding and watching them. Paul is into sexual power dynamics.
  3. "There's nothing in here but a couple of elephant skin rugs..." "Animals in the zoo go in the corner." "The corner! Why didn't I think of that?" "OMG! It's inhuman. Like Hong Kong." "And IIIIII will always love you-" "The humans are attacking!"
  4. The ending to the first finale when Leela asks Fry to finish his opera.
  5. I would have to go back and rewatch to catch everything, but that episode had a lot of biblical references.
  6. The writers for this show are Brits? I never knew that. I give them props; they're doing a damn good job.
  7. I'm not sure how I feel about this story line. Like someone else mentioned, the big part of the draw at least the first season was that she was powerless. Her and her teams screwups would cause her embarrassment and political problems but there weren't major real world implications. Now her using the wrong first name pissed off Iran (to me a good thing, but to her a bad thing). I have a bad feeling that she is on water skis with a shark in the lake. I thought it was quite obvious she was a democrat but I think they actually handle the political side in a very good way. I'm not a democrat but I've never been insulted or offended by anything said or implied with regard to political issues or groups. That's not something that can be said about most shows about politics in the US. Of course, most of her opponents have been members of her own party. LOL.

    When we found out about the president resigning my first thought was "did this show get cancelled?????"
  9. I thought the doctor was looking at the wound because she wasn't bleeding. Isn't that a test for a demon? That they don't bleed? This was a weird episode. Since Vanessa isn't one of my favorite characters a lot of it was meh.
  10. Kieran isn't the first risen. I re-watched Season One and there is actually a scene of him rising out of his coffin. I had totally forgot about it but there is already others shuffling around in the graveyard. Although I can totally see zombie Kieran thinking digging is too hard and taking a break.
  11. I didn't care for Tony either. To me, the best part of TM's acting isn't that she's all these different people, it is watching her being one clone acting like another. Sarah being Alison or Alison being Sarah you can totally SEE the one clone being the other - exaggerating mannerisms but still having the base being the other clone . With Tony all I saw was Sarah acting like a man. The disconnected opening scene didn't help either. I think it might have been better to just open with Art receiving a phone call and then the surprise of introducing Tony to Felix.
  12. I stopped watching this show at the end of Season 4 because it just wasn't grabbing me anymore. But I did watch the last episode. I think having a clip show was a fairly good idea but poorly executed. Instead of having it be ONE defining moment, it should have been moments - then they could have mixed it with highlights from previous seasons and new clips of other ideas they had for future episodes. I liked the tap dancing but thought it went on a little too long. I think a better idea maybe would be a meeting set say 20 years in the future with the Warehouse getting ready to move. Artie could be retired (but living at the B&B as crotchety as ever in his wheelchair), Myka being in Artie's job, Steve being lead agent, Pete coming to visit and complaining about his teenage kids, Claudia acting like Mrs. F in front of the other agents, but dropping it and being "Claudia" when its just our guys, and then they could all reminisce about their favorite moments as agents, which would be the clip show. Artie and the apple could be the final goodbye.
  13. Which one is Victor Halperin? I'm really bad with names on this show. Is he the second doctor who was working on Simon? Not the one who was being kind to Simon but the other one. That's who I think the profit is. He made a few comments and gave some looks that seemed strange. I bet he wants a second rising so he can die and then come back and live forever.
  14. We have to destroy her...and erase my memory!!!! This show was great.
  15. ganesh - but he reacted to the murdered women. Unless, he has vague memories of killing them, but doesn't realize that he is a wolf/wolfman when he does it. The other way: It would be interesting if Ethan/Jekyll was strait but Hyde was bisexual/gay. The absinthe would have triggered the switch. That could cause some appropriately awkward scenes.
  16. I know the popular opinion is that Ethan is a werewolf, but I was kinda thinking he might be Jekyll/Hyde. Then they did the wolf scene last episode and I figure he was a werewolf. But after the play, I'm not so sure again. He didn't react to it at all. I was expecting some reaction to seeing a werewolf kill a woman. And we better see Hartnett's behind as he gets out of Grey's bed at the beginning of the next episode!
  17. It's funny, I caught up with this show online just before season 2 started up. When I was watching the first scene at the train station I thought I had heard in the background something about the next train to New York. And since I knew this was BBC that really confused me. And then everybody's accents were all over the place I got totally confused and thought maybe it was a British show trying to pretend they were in the US. After the episode was over I looked online and realized they were in Canada. I was, okay, that makes so much more sense. I'm not sure why they want to be so vague on the location, but they do a very good job with it.
  18. I did mean the mythical hydra and assumed Mrs. S did too. She doesn't seem like the type to make pop culture/comic book references. If Dyad is a hydra then there are different factions that cooperate/fight with each other. I'm betting it's not Leekie that started the fire. Why would he destroy the records and research? I'm guessing it was the female doctor. If she loved Rachael she may have had a change of heart on the whole project and destroyed the lab herself. She may have gotten caught in the fire or killed by Leekie during/afterwards. Then he took Rachael and twisted her into what she is today. I think Cold River was a sanitarium that was doing research on people with birth defects and mental illnesses then moved into genetic research. Dyad came out of that research and got a military contract for funding (Project Leda). When the military pulled the funding over ethical issues Dyad got funding somewhere else and continued onto our clones. And little girls are totally creepy. Haven't you ever watched Supernatural?
  19. "nice, unconventional girl" Love it.
  20. I'm assuming it is a child. She had a toy in her suitcase. It seems like the story is going to be picking up now. And just an FYI - when you identify the first riser and are reporting that back, you probably want to use the guy's name.
  21. Vic with Alison, Helena with Tow Truck Guy, and What's His Glasses with Cosima, I thought it would be cute if each clone ended up with a brother sestra. Of course, then we had the Vic reveal and that ended that idea. It was interesting that Mrs. S referred to Dyad as a hydra. So we have all the multiple heads with their own agendas. Mrs. S must have been Dyad at some point. The Proletheans too (Maggie was and I bet Mr. Helena was Dyad at some point too). Dyad probably created the clones and then split along ideological lines. the scientific view (Leakey and Duncan at first), the humanist (Mrs. S. and Duncan now), and the religious (Proletheans). On a separate note - does anyone else have problems remembering all the side characters names? If its not repeated at least 5 times an episode I can't seem to remember it.
  22. I think the sister's storyline wouldn't bother me too much if it was done in the first season. It just seems to me like we should be beyond that point now. I'm not sure they've taken away the PDS people's citizenship so much as you're not legally a citizen if you are dead. Are these people are legally dead. Here in the US it would be a major Supreme Court case on their exact legal status. I'm not sure how it would work in the UK (the EU Court of Justice or whatever they call themselves, I guess). Unless someone is being forced to do community service as punishment for a crime, then it is definitely involuntary servitude, which is the official term for slavery. And I'm pretty sure these guys have a rock solid insanity plea. So, yeah, I agree they are slaves.
  23. It was a little Cinderella-ish. Right at the stroke of midnight everything turns back into a pumpkin. I laughed a little. But seriously, if they need to take their shot every 24 hours, and in 24 hours and 5 seconds they turn into what is essentially a rabid, murderous animal, there needs to be much greater controls on PDS sufferers. You know, in the first season everyone was saying it was really about being gay. And I saw that too especially since Kieran is gay. But now it seems more like commentary on mental illness. With the "attack" on the school the previous episode and then the hospital had a definite One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest feel. It would be timely; I'm not sure about the UK, but here in the States we definitely need to have a serious discussion about how we handle people with major mental illness. Interesting to see that Amy is still having hand tremors. And I loved watching her and the guy at the center.He's so adorkable and she has such an excess of personality they really make a good odd couple.
  24. Well, I figure the MP is part of the major plot this season so I'm willing to follow along with her for right now.
  25. It seems like everyone has zeroed in on Kieran being the First to Rise on little actual evidence. I hope it ends up not being him just because it would be funny. And I really don't care about the sister and her PTSD. Her story just seems like a distraction. I'd rather get more of Amy and her "beau", the MP, and even the HVF guy whose name I can never remember.
