Yeah, it's overused. But it was the most accurate word I could come up with off the top of my head. And quicker to type than "something to do".

So concludes the low-key portion of the season. Wow. So much fun with different characters.

The show is set in Canada (specifically Toronto), always has been, and while they don't throw it in the viewers face, they haven't avoided making numerous references to make that clear over the course of the run. Definitely not a goof. Would only be one if they had used American money. That would have been stupid.

-This felt like the most stationary episode of the season, at least until the last few minutes (they all have to end on an upswing, don't they?). I wasn't sure if it was possible for Orphan Black to do low-key.

Agreed on Donnie's timing for mattering, but it just feels like the balance is a little too skewed at this point. Let him have a good moment (I foresee him slugging out the flirty drug dealer at some point, but that will probably be a ways off), he's kind of earned it.

Here you go.

And reviewing restaurants. Can't forget those.

The More Sophisticated Season 3 of Orphan Black: Less Ass, More Brains!

I think it's safe to say yes :D

"I need something to cut."

We can't always have our likeable characters saying smart and/or
sensitive things, especially when they're socially awkward and unknowing (which is part of Scott's charm). Gotta give them some room to grow. And I think he got that it wasn't cool as he kind of stopped short when Cosima shot him a glance. One of those…

Brian Cranston HAS to be cast on this show now, if only so he can give Allison a speech against drug dealing. Maybe as her "father"…

After seeing how bloated he got in the early-mid 90s, from all the booze he was drinking, I'm not surprised he would go the other way and consider it healthier. Probably is, too.

I meant first-time ass showing. Though I'd forgotten about Cal. Maybe for his inevitable shower scene with Sarah (or out in the rain) ;)

Canadian star(s). I think the only major players who aren't Canadian are Maria Doyle Kennedy and Michelle Forbes. Let's hear it for living north of the 49th parallel!

As soon as the assassin went into the garage, I said to my wife, "well, he's toast." It's like their version of Buffalo Bill's torture basement from Silence of the Lambs (with Allison's craft room as the warm-up area).

Some thoughts:

I think Facelift was the album which Kinney recorded with a broken hand, keeping an ice bucket next to his drums to use between takes. If so, I'd give him a pass.

Johnny Fever introduced him best: "Here comes John Lennon. He's a rock 'n roll monster!"

It's interesting/amazing how much people's views and remembrances of both this album and the band are predicated on what others thought of it. It seems to be an extreme difficulty for people to separate DMB from the fans and their lifestyle (or at least their perceptions of those fans).
