She isn't trying to destroy Leda so much as she's trying to sabotage the Leda project. She thinks cloning is obsolete and inferior but it's still getting funded. Presumably, her projects could get that funding if Leda came to a dead end. Without the original's DNA, the Leda clones can't be cured and that experiment is…

Yeah, the embryos died because she forgot to feed them the liquid nitrogens but they still might be able to harvest the DNA.

Yes, but also no, if only because Orphan Black isn't doing it as a cheap grab for social media buzz.

Evie definitely believes she has noble goals and seems averse to using lethal methods…when possible. She also thinks the cloning program is too slow, too inefficient, and probably diverting funds away from her own research so she staged a corporate coup.

I like the Legally Blonde comparison. I mean, are her tabloid theories about a cosmetics stem cell conspiracy REALLY any more ridiculous than secret human cloning?

It's amazing how much they've done to develop Beth in such a short period of time. Her story is so tragic.

Good recall on Ethan's book even existing!

Bless you. BDP, always and forever.

Didn't Evelyne Brochu have a scheduling conflict for most of, if not all, of this season? It could've been a delay to see if she'd be available to return at all but that would've been a very inelegant solution to the problem.

I applaud your synergy

Ray was definitely impressed by his bulge

The Veronica Deane thing really hasn't been working at all.

You were also trying to not exhale?

All that research money is coming from somewhere. Brightborn *might* be self-funding now but there had to be startup capital…

They could not have been more beige together if they tried.

It was consistent in Sky Captain and a stylistic choice to emulate the blurriness of old film stock. It just looked like Syfy-level effects in High Castle.

It's an interesting concept with some pretty great production design (occasionally marred by some really iffy green screen) but the season should've been half as long. They definitely stretched out the narrative so it feels listless and meandering and never really develops complexity to the characters.

Now I'm thinking of an episode or gag involving a hybrid fat/"pray the gay away" camp just to make Ray feel really conflicted.

She would have to have one to manage whatever illness she was born with because homegirl is not be coerced.

The sass he was giving Rachel earlier in the season set him up to be Rachel's Felix in a funhouse mirror version of the Sarah/Felix relationship. It probably would've been good for Rachel, actually.
