It’s true (as mentioned in the article) that Maslany does give full credit to Alexandre for the contribution she makes to Maslany’s performances–she did so on the Pre-Season 2 interview show (whatever that was called) that BBC-America broadcast a few times before the season premiere.
Oh I forgot to mention too…are we to believe that Donny is actually a bona-fide monitor, or did he just get hired by Max Headroom to spy on his wife, recently? But she thinks he’s a monitor.
I wasn’t paying close enough attention to tell which way the writers wanted us to think. Cuz he doesn’t seem anything like a real monitor, like uh, the ex boyfriend (damn sorry I am super bad with names right now!!)
Not really any reason to hide. Anyone seeing a bunch of similar looking woman would presumably assume they were just relatives. Plus its not like its illegal to be a clone.
Could someone remind me just how much Art was told about all the secret clone stuff at the end of Season 1? I went into this season not remembering that he had been told very much at all, but over the course of the first couple of episodes of Season 2, he’s come off like he’s one step away from being a full-fledged Clone Club associate. I really should have watched a little more of that marathon that they ran before the Season 2 premiere.
Unfortunately I deleted the episode but I think she’s talking about Kira and not Sarah. I took it to mean that Kira is special because she’s the first daughter of a clone ever. Or maybe that she has some special abilities. It seems odd that a normal child would suspect the motives of the woman who raised her and want to flee.
I don’t think it’s likely there will be any older clones. The conceit of the show is that clones are defective. They can’t conceive and they get sick. I think any clones of Mrs S’s age would all be dead by now. If we do see an older clone I expect them to have serious medical conditions.
Well, unless there was a perfectly healthy person who was the “original”, and then a bunch of clones were made, and the illness was added (intentionally or not) as part of the cloning process.
Right. There might be a progenitor still around. It’s even likely given that “Who are we?” is the basic question of the series and a living character would be a lot more entertaining than stories about a dead person. Mrs S might even be the progenitor. But I doubt it. I think it makes a better story if it’s someone as yet unrevealed.
Another entertaining episode… but I was puzzled by a few things (although the answers might just be that something happened off-screen).
-how did evil security guy (Daniel?) find Cal’s farm
-where did Art get a photo of the Prolethians compound? Or does he not know that that’s where Helena is, and he’s just investigating them because they’re on some list of crazy religious groups?
I’m glad that Alison’s hilariously embarrassing time on stage was cut short. I just can’t stand to watch humiliation like that.
I assume we believe that Cal is Kira’s dad? Because I did NOT see that coming.
I think the security guy did like the now-dead cop did: figured out where they were based on the robbery and abandoned truck. Why he knew to look in that area to begin with? That I don’t know. I don’t know about the picture of the compound either.
I wasn’t expecting to find out Kira’s father at all, so that was interesting.
Except of course now the Dyad people know who Cal is, so it is NOT safe any more (unless our heroes have some way of being absolutely sure that Daniel was the only one who knew and he died in the car crash, or something).
Interesting thought. Maybe she will begin to heal herself? I know the doctors kept saying that Helena should not be alive after she was shot, and that she seemed to heal fast.
I was thinking the same thing. Kira is important, they’ve made that clear, but I don’t need to see the kid all the time. Let her hide away with her father and let him figure out there’s something weird and special about her.
Well it may be entirely possible that there is absolutely nothing special about Kira. Cosima seems to have established that the lung polyps that affect the clones start in the uterus, so the fact that Sarah managed to reproduce at all means that she’s a more stable clone than the rest of them. Kira might just be a completely normal kid that just serves as an indicator of Sarah’s specialness. (Of course they still want to take her, but as leverage against Sarah, not because she’s important herself).
