Monitor Club: Paul, Delphine, Donnie, et al


Recommended Posts

Since there was some discussion about the various monitors in another thread, I thought it might be a good idea to have a separate thread to discuss all of the monitors. Kind of funny that we have the Clone Club but the monitors don't know about each other. Imagine Paul, Delphine, and Donnie all getting together to have a drink and bitch about what a pain in the ass it was hiding their monitor status from their respective clones.

 

What I find really interesting about the three monitors we know about so far is that they have very different backgrounds. Paul is ex-military and we know that he was, ahem, coerced into taking on his role as Beth's monitor due to what happened in Afghanistan.

 

Donnie, on the other hand, has known Alison since they were in high school, so I wonder when DYAD decided to recruit him and how they told the story to him. Did they blackmail him into becoming Alison's monitor? Or did they guilt trip him by saying it was his duty?

 

I would guess Delphine was the easiest sell. She already worked with Leekie so he probably just had to offer her the chance to observe one subject at close range and she happily nerded out. I mean, look at how excited Cosima got in the S1 finale at the thought of having access to all that clone data.

 

I wonder if the European clones had monitors too. Did DYAD know about them? Or were all the Europeans off their radar?

My favorite running gag this season? The way Delphine would say "Shay" in the most disdainful way humanly possible every time she saw her for awhile. Someone on one of the boards posted something comparing it to Jerry Seinfeld and Newman, which was 100% correct.

...Who's Stellla? Did you mean Shay?
