    How many planets and races dose the federation has??

    Hmmm, 130 member worlds feels a bit too much for mid-23rd century. It would mean the Federation went from 5 to 130 worlds in it's first century of existence and then added only some, say, 30 worlds in it's second century. Not impossible, of course, but I feel like the pace of Federation's...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vNpQ5VNMx4 Wow, miracles do happen. I didn't much enjoy season 5 but I have to support this just on principle. #sixseasonsandamovie! :techman:

    Heh, well in a sense that might have been just the distraction they needed. Hmm, I honestly don't know. For using it at a distance, yeah, you have to expend the cartridge, but just shocking someone at point blank range? Yeah. But thanks for an interesting discussion! I agree, I was probably too...

    Orphan Black - Season 2 Discussion

    Sorry if I made it feel that way. I got irritated because I felt, probably wrongly, that you said that the fact that my suspension of disbelief was broken is not valid enough because I only specifically provided one alternative that wasn't somehow objectively better. Yeah, I used a plural where...

    I have yet to propose one you would consider better. I'm already perfectly satisfied with the smoke bomb idea. One alternative that I find better is perfectly enough. But it's just the first thing that came to mind, I'm not a writer (nor am I a smart scientist). If you insist, and at the risk...

    Orphan Black - Season 2 Discussion

    Absolutely (I get the motivation, I'm not criticizing!) I was just wondering if the show has made explicit the exact importance of the bone marrow and Duncan's data. OK, wrongly worded then. But you're assuming I don't find this trope annoying in other situations and shows. Some universal...

    Now that's an interesting - and suitably gruesome - idea. Something else that I've been thinking about. By destroying the vials, was Rachel also damaging her own chances of not succumbing to the disease? (Assuming that she can't get her hands on Kira that easily any more.) Is Kira's bone...

    But... cyborgs are cooler than pirates. And a cyborg pirate would be THE coolest. Fine, have it your way. Neolutionists suck anyway, wouldn't want them back in the picture :lol:

    Be careful not to step on any sharp pencils :p How about she starts the season with an eyepatch but then in the finale reveals she's been testing a cybernetic eye underneath it. Compromise!

    Maybe she becomes a Neolutionist and gets a fancy cybernetic eye?

    Orphan Black - Season 2 Discussion

    I don't think it's very likely either, indeed that would be far too fantastical, but I've already seen some people speculate about it. I have no problem with that at all. I just think Cosima would have been able to come up with a better weapon and a better edge to give Sarah, one that...

    It was mostly the Delphine in the light vision that bugged me. Perhaps exploitative was the wrong word but that felt like something added only to please the shippers and combined with the fakeout (which I probably wouldn't have minded that much on its' own) and the possible vague hint that...

    I enjoyed the dance scene a lot more on rewatch. I think the problem I had was that it felt oddly placed into the episode - the first half was all high stakes high tempo stuff with some pretty big and traumatic things happening but then it suddenly abruptly stopped and immediately transitioned...

    Orphan Black - Season 2 Discussion

    I liked that Cosima and Scott (who has slowly grown into a great character) took initiative but it was such a ridiculous and contrived plan. How did they know she would give Sarah Kira's drawing at exactly that point? How did they know Rachel was going to clear the room? Sarah could only...

    Orphan Black - Season 2 Discussion

    Well, I'm pretty conflicted about this finale. Stuff I didn't like: Rushed, with a pretty anticlimactic resolution half-way through the episode. Some of the direction/editing felt a bit too flashy. Cosima apparently dying and having that hallucination struck me as cheesy and exploitative...

    This show is such a ride. This was one of the best episodes this season. All the clones got great moments, and Kira got a great moment, and Delphine was interesting, and they managed to redeem Donnie and Gracie and even Mark, and to, at least for the time being, resolve both the Prolethean plot...

    Agh, show, why you add even more plot points?! Wow, that was weird. Tony was a very interesting idea but unfortunately ultimately served little purpose aside from "yup, we did THAT!". Some of it was the good kind of "we did THAT" but it took up too much time from the other more established...

    I think the ratings are better than last season's, are they not? That plus all the positive buzz plus the critical acclaim, I hope it's enough for a third season.

    Orphan Black - Season 2 Discussion

    The rehab parts were entertaining (with Sarah's confused double-role-playing being my favorite part of the episode) but it felt to me like they were trying a bit too hard to recapture Variations Under Domestication's magic. I wish we saw Rachel's conversation with Duncan. Her talk with Leekie...
