Ceeg May 25, 2014 Author Share May 25, 2014 Thanks @Ceeg did they say that they wanted to make the clones women because of the inherent nature of men controlling women's bodies? Not that I remember, specifically in that interview, but I do think that is a major theme throughout the series, and one that they've discussed before. Here's an article where Tatiana talks about that a little. http://www.tvguide.com/news/orphan-black-tatiana-maslany-season2-spoilers-1069736.aspx This is written by Russ Cochrane who's a writer for the show, and he talks more about ownership of our bodies, and cites a few other works on the subject: http://www.bbcamerica.com/orphan-black/2014/05/12/hive-recap-governed-chance/3/ Link to comment

bravelittletoaster May 27, 2014 Share May 27, 2014 I think because English has a lot of Germanic roots. English is like a dumbed down German/Dutch/Nordic language. He falls into the He's Foreign? bucket along with Joel Kinnaman and Alexander Saarsgard. Or a souped up version, rather, IMO. Far more vibrant and versatile and heavily augmented by the romance languages in a way that's had almost a doubling effect on our vocabularies. Personally I don't think his accent's that awesome and was complaining about it last week to my wife. It sometimes sounds a bit forced or put on to me. Which is not to say the guy's not impressive. And seemingly taking the television world by storm all of a sudden... Link to comment
Ceeg May 28, 2014 Author Share May 28, 2014 (edited) Yesterday, Tatiana got a Television Critics Association nomination for Individual Achievement in Drama (the ceremony is on July 19), and today, she got a Critics Choice award nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series (the ceremony is on June 19). She won both these awards last year. Edited May 28, 2014 by Ceeg Link to comment
Grammaeryn May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 There is a bit of awesome casting news here. Could be considered a spoiler. 1 Link to comment
The Crazed Spruce May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 Space aired a special last week about Orphan Black, with a ton of interviews with the cast and crew of the show, including Michelle Forbes . I was wondering what that actor's character would be like, because all the special said was that she was a scientist . Thanks for clarifying, Grammaeryn! Link to comment
Loandbehold May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 I have loved Michelle Forbes since ST:TNG. I am so excited she will be on the show. 1 Link to comment
possibilities June 1, 2014 Share June 1, 2014 Tatiana will be on The Tavis Smiley Show (PBS). My listings have it on 6/6, but I think it varies depending on your affiliate. It can probably also be watched on the web somewhere, as most public TV shows eventually become available for streaming. Tavis is a pretty good interviewer. I don't watch all the time, but whenever I have, he's always seemed to be very familiar with the work of whoever he's interviewing, and to be able to really engage with his guests on a level beyond canned talking points. Unlike Jimmy Fallon, who squees about everything as though he's a huge fan, but never really seems to know what he's talking about, Tavis seems to actually be sincere when he gets fannish, and he's intelligent enough to ask questions about things like meaning and context, so I'm hoping we'll get some actual substance out of the interview. (Now that I've made such a favorable review, without even having seen the interview, it will probably turn out to be insipid and boring, but I've enjoyed him with other interviewees, so that's where I'm coming from.) 1 Link to comment

Unless she's being interviewed by him again, this is an old interview from April, I think before season two premiered.

Ankai June 1, 2014 Share June 1, 2014 Those promotional "One. Of a kind" posters...are they actual posters or just promotional images? I was hoping to purchase one, but I saw only some "rare" posting on eBay. Amazon.com has only some photo posters, that early image with a person who is not Tatiana, and an image of the DVD cover. The BBC store had only DVDs. Link to comment

This is a link to last weeks episode, the new one for S2E8 should be up sometime today as per KB on Twitter yesterday when he answered my tweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

jjjmoss June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 (edited) Emmy ballot submissions announced today. OB wasn't submitted for much. Aside from Series, Actress, S Actor: Nature Under Constraint (Makeup/Hair/Wtg), Mingling Its Own Nature (Cinematography), and Governed By Sound Reason And True Religion (Director) - Totally narcissistic choice directed by a co-creator and far from the best. I did like the description for the Makeup submission: The Grifter - sooty, streetwise eyes, bare face.Proclone - four foundations and liquid highlighters carve out her polished, perfect look. Signature red lip.The Suburban Square - bright, electric colours applied "Shopping Channel" style. Deranged Helena - Giotto inspired Madonna fresco.Geek/genius - Kabuki style application and nature centric tattoos. Edited June 9, 2014 by jjjmoss 2 Link to comment

hardy har June 17, 2014 Share June 17, 2014 (edited) That cross promotion with Almost Royal is amazing and I totally want DB to get cast in a comedy now. I wish I found his work on the show half as awesome as I find him in interviews and promo stuff. As an aside, that video is the first time I've ever thought Hot Paul was an appropriate nickname for him. He looks damn good. Edited June 17, 2014 by hardy har 1 Link to comment

jaybear1701 June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 (edited) Dylan Bruce did a Google+ hangout today. Lots of interesting stuff about Dylan (his favorite clone is Alison, if he could play another role on the show it would be Donnie), a few tidbits about Paul's storyline going forward, and his take on the Paul/Rachel sex scene in 2x05 (he saw it as consensual). I give Dylan extra bonus points for answering my question about whether he'd like Paul to hang out with Donnie and Delphine. Ha!!! Edited June 20, 2014 by jaybear1701 Link to comment

Blackie June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 Well i was trying to stay away but... I has to come check since I heard about TM's win...YAAAA!! But I didn't get the Tom reference, who is that? And surprised, she didn't mention any of the other actors, considering there is so few of them. What I did notice during her red carpet interview and speech is she has a very distinctive smile, sort of with dimples and an interesting shape to her mouth. What is amazing about OB is none of the clones have that smile, Cosmina maybe a little and Tony a little but TM has been able to keep that for herself so far. Link to comment
Athena June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 But I didn't get the Tom reference, who is that? And surprised, she didn't mention any of the other actors, considering there is so few of them. Tom Cullen is her boyfriend. He was on Downton Abbey last season. 1 Link to comment
