Gabriel in Constantine is androgynous, so I don't think we are supposed to assume the character to be male. As for Orlando, didn't know as I had not seen the movie. Good to know.

I forgot to say that I am glad Cosima told Scott the truth directly, instead of the writers having some "Scott discovers the truth!" scene, or keeping him in the dark. I think it shows Cosima does respect him and what he adds to the team, plus it continues the policy of not keeping characters in the dark unnecessarily.

When does Tilda play men?

I thought Felix was properly freaked out.

I found the episode entertaining and as fast paced as always. Obviously there was no plot reason for the new clone to be transgendered - there also wasn't any reason for the new clone not to be transgerdered. As such, the fact that the show "went there" didn't bother me. The way in which the interactions with Tony …

Shuttle flights to the USSR were ended after a brief period because of poor US-USSR coordination (like Soviet air defenses targeting US planes mistakenly and shooting some down), and because they were not seen to be militarily worthwhile.

Auschwitz was not the only death camp, and most of the killing at the camp was done before the Allies were in bombing range. Maybe bombing the rail lines might have disrupted the extermination of Hungary's Jews, which was the last remaining large Jewish population to be exterminated, but unless the Allies had decided…

I have always found this argument unreasonable.

The Germans had two types of camps, Concentration camp, from which slave labor came, and Extermination Camps. Treblinka was the latter, and it had ended operations by the end of 1943. What most people fail to realize is that the Death camps were for the most part done killing long before the Allies got anywhere near…

Almost all the pure Extermination Camps had ended operation by mid-1944. Auschwitz was the only still operating in time to be liberated by the Red Army, and its "life" was extended to deal with the Jewish population of Hungary, since it didn't come into Nazi control until mid-1944.

The premise of the movie was campy as hell and she clearly played along better than anyone else.

Also a block of Ramen noodles. Girl likes her breakfast multi-ethnic.

for me this was a B+ episode - the Helena scenes were great, thought Sarah recovered a little too fast from her terror from the end of last episode for my liking. I guess Daniel was pretty busy on the phone while getting back to Rachel's, since Dyad seemed to have Cal's info pretty quick. And its pretty clear he is…

If I member correctly, this scene happens after Sarah admits to not having robbed him blind because she had feelings for him, and I think its pretty clear that the guy had feelings for Sarah as well.

Why is it off?

Actually, pretty much yes. I think we are to assume that the self-destruct was incomplete. We are shown Larrick trying a bunch of different switches, failing to get a signal, but then he gets lucky and finds one switch that was not fried. I assume that having technology to track where a signal went existed well before…

On the people asking about Larrick and what he did:

Her outfit at the Golden Globes is good proof of that….

The series has less time to create reasons for viewers to get emotionally invested in the characters. Also, the scene is missing some of the impact in the book because other known characters die trying to defend Robb and there was simply no time to develop these characters. I the writers could not spend a lot of time…

The idea that the clones have advanced healing would also explain how Helena didn't die from having a metal bar shoved through her liver back in episode 3 or 4.
