You could literally see the word Canada on a billboard this week. Between this and all the Loonies, the debate is over.

That would be one very entertaining episode, I'll give you that.

I love Krystal. It's interesting, because she's yet another nuanced clone performance, but she's also a bit of what Orphan Black is missing right now: a true innocent. This show is so good with its female characters that I think they've earned themselves a damsel for Sarah and co to take care of.

If anything Sleyse would cry at Shireen NOT being murdered.

Matt Gourley, one of my favorite podcast personalities, slayed in that tag.

Post-modernism pre-dates TV, too. Doesn't have to be new to fit under that label, just because the word "modern" is in it.

Alvie Allen doesn't get to have TWO songs about him.

In a marked contrast, this week's episode ends with the audience satisfied by a woman getting screwed.
