I like Angela, I know she comes along as prickly but if I was in the same situation, I would want to know what is going on. The fact that my partner has gone from wanting to find out to actively blocking me would just make me more suspicious not less, so I completely buy the reaction she's had so far. I hope she

Way to really go out on a limb there, my good sir or madam.

This is Orphan Black. Everyone knows more than they're letting on.

It's not that unusual with science types. Excellent with their field of expertise, get stuck with just about everything else that isn't including the most mundane tasks of daily living in the most extreme cases.

Given the amount of crazy in this show (which I love, don't get me wrong), he'd fit in perfectly. Admittedly they might need to wheel him in and out but I think that would add to the charm.

No, Helena stabbed Amelia in Paul's apartment and dragged her to some warehouse somewhere where she died. Sarah shot Helena there.

Since Amelia was brought up this episode, I think it's worth bringing up that she is up there in the history of most impressive backfires of whatever she was hoping to achieve by running away and not letting them be raised by Dyad.

I can't wait for the big coming out episode. Once the show is in its final season and it doesn't matter anymore, they should just have a big scene where the Mayor of Toronto welcomes the Prime Minister of Canada on a giant stage festooned with Canadian flags. Then everyone heads off to eat poutine and copious amounts

Let's be honest, even decapitation isn't a guarantee. There's no defence to a series retcon for starters (looks annoyed at the original Halloween franchise and that's just for beginners).

Dyad is presumably close to where Felix lives as Sarah was able to disguise herself as Cosima and crash one of their events and punch out Rachel.

I give them a pass on all of that for budgetary and filming logistics. Realistically Paul's apartment would have been bugged and every scene where they're talking about what really is going on would have had to be filmed in a park or something. Wouldn't have been so great to watch.

Adding a bit to an impressive pedants corner we're building here, the children of Leda weren't half human and half god. There were four and two were mortal and two were immortal. Opinions differ as to which were which but commonly it's thought that Helen of Troy and Pollux were immortal and Clytemnestra and Castor

I would have liked Anna Torv to play the role of Angela especially as her Bolivia version of her Fringe character. It would have been a good chance for some meta jokes "Human duplicates? Ridiculous!".

Unless Cosima accidentally broke the Resurrection Ship while doing one of her experiments. You know she can be careless like that.

Well, hopefully they'll give him some good material to work with. I think his character does better when he's actually got something significant to do, as was the case around the latter part of Season 1.

We should just stop all this ducking and weaving and do a full blown crossover with Continuum already now that the actor playing Travis has turned up.

A thank you to Helena for saving from the man with the razor would have been nice now, wouldn't it Sarah? You need to start thinking more about other people I think.

Are you employed, Mr Lebowski?

Even though we're all going to wish there are things to be included that aren't, I get you have to draw the line somewhere; otherwise it just becomes Roles in a Random Order.
