I really hope Helena does get a pleasant day for once and they show us a scene where she gets to go to the park, feed the ducks and have an ice cream. No-one dies and she even gets to go shopping to buy herself something nice.

You'd think he'd be much more careful especially given what he went through during a certain pot luck held at his house. It's a miracle he lasted this long.

At least Alison had the decency to turn up. Where was Chad in all this?

I believe they've talked about this and possibly some kind of soft reset after the initial three season plan runs its course.

I bet that cage is looking pretty good right about now.

The creators have actually specifically ruled out "fat ankled" clones as they said in their Reddit AMA. They did also however strongly suggest they might have been joking about that.

For those who might already know, there's a scene in the season trailer which makes a lot more sense now that we've seen these new characters, which involves a room with a bed, someone with long hair and a sequence of events that's probably going to end badly for someone especially given we now know who's most likely…

I've said it before but I think it'd be great if they did a prequel with a Euro Clone Club. It could be a lot darker too as we know just about everyone's going to die, too. It could dovetail perfectly into the start of the series (ending more or less around the start of the show with some overlap) and even have more…

Top of the list of things I want to see … at some point Alison impersonates Rachel. Alison's an actress, she could certainly do snooty and entitled. In a subversion of how this often plays out, she's so good at it that the real Rachel utterly fails to convince anyone of the swap.

I'm hanging for self defence instructional videos with Alison and Helena's restaurant review column.

In this particular case though, there was loads of evidence. Namely an entire police station full of people (and police at that) witnessing her committing a whole litany of offences such as identity theft and impersonating a police officer just for starters. Then there was the time stamped video from the train station…

Even though not specifically quantifiable, a measure particular to here that I think is also a sign of still increasing popularity is that there's more comments here for this episode than every previous one. More than double most of them and even more than last season's finale and all in just a couple of days since…

Have you seen the minds in this place?

So far, so good and long may it continue but a note of caution about getting ahead of ourselves too quickly. Battlestar Galactica is a case in point.

You're a doctor? I happen to know a few doctors …

I have to object in the strongest possible terms.

Your move, Adam Sandler.

Ominous scene from a future episode here, presumably from next week's episode. Scene starts at the minute mark of the clip and runs for just over a minute. No major spoilers as far as I can tell but watch at your discretion.
