    I think I missed that episode.

    I feel like this could have been about something. I was really excited to see Chinese Buddhism represented in popular culture with a Buddhist as the main character. And from the earlier episodes, I really thought Buddhist philosophy — and specifically non-attachment to money — was going to be a theme of the show.

    Sweet Wesak!

    But the downside is you have to watch Iron Fist.

    > I’m not sure if it was an intentional gag, but there were a couple moments in this episode where Danny and Colleen were framed in intimate settings only for the camera to pull back and reveal Davos was there too.

    Hogarth confirms his identity in 15 seconds. It takes the Meechums two whole episodes.

    That scene was the first time I was truly excited while watching this show.

    I'm more concerned about the fact that Sarah could afford to hire a charter helicopter to the island on short notice.

    Where's that damn island supposed to be? Are we still in Canada? Can Donnie get there without his passport?

    I think this season suffered from poorly established villains. Evie Cho. Duko. Westmoreland. This new doctor who just turned up. Either I don't know what their motivation is, or they didn't do much.

    Westmoreland is going to turn out to be a hyperintelligent tortoise or something.

    He bought a Krystal wig as soon as he met her. She's the inspiration for his new drag act.

    My recollection is that the Leda clones were deliberately sterilized, but Helena and Sarah didn't get the sterilization because their birth mother ran off and Dyad didn't know about the existance of Helena and Sarah.

    And an awful lot of Into the Badlands. I feel like I know the whole show now.

    The point behind Alison's storyline was to avenge Vic's finger.

    And Delphine knows that Ferdinand just captured Coady, so Delphine's question "What's going to happen to her?" might have been referring to Coady.

    He was augmented by the Neolutionists, like the guy with the tail in season 1.

    So, Ethan Duncan made clones of Kendall Malone. (He wanted to make baby girls, but some of the clones turned out male, due to Kendall's chimerism.) Then he found out Kendall's daugher was a foster mother who raised smuggled infants, so he made sure Siobhan got one of the clones to raise, because… he thought that'd be

    Orphan Black: Come for the clone conspiracy, stay for the seedy underbelly of Canadian suburbia.

    Yeah, but there's usually some attempt at a (convoluted) explanation rather than sheer coincidence.
