Spoilers Orphan Black Season 4 Discussion

Man a lot of things happened in that episode. It wasn't as good as the last three weeks, but it felt like we are running towards the end of the season now and storylines are starting to be wrapped up. The main storyline was Evie and Rachel's excellent take down of her. That was very much in characters that Sarah and Rachel couldn't trust each other and each had their own motivations for getting Evie out. I'm actually glad we got to see Rachel's plan, considering what Evie told her a few episodes ago about never having a clone in power. Yeah the recording thing is starting to be a little cliche, but it was awesome here, considering what we know about the other characters.

I'm so glad Helena came back, but that felt very Du ex machina to me. She comes when the Hendrixes really need her, and it made her coming back from the wilderness make me wonder why she was there at all. Yeah I get it was to stay away and take care of her pregnancy, but it almost felt like we should have seen her a few episodes ago in that hut or even a mention of Helena. Still, seeing Helena is great always and she has a great aim for the bow and arrow. Because it was Helena I was pretty much ok with the whole thing.

The main thing about this episode though was the very end, and:

DELPHINE IS ALIVE!!!! I think it was a given at this point, but I'm so glad we saw her in this episode to set up the finale. I also like that it was her hacking Rachel's eye. I wonder if when she was pushing down on the Eye if it was more repositioning it to allow the hacking to happen. Delphine in Season 3 seemed to know her fate and expected her fate, but seeing her at the computer makes me wonder if it was indeed a set up all along. That was a speculation during last summer and it's a speculation I actually like.

I'm really looking forward to the Finale, but it feels like there's a lot of things it needs to cover to the point where it should be a 90 minute finale instead of the normal 60. We'll see what happens though. Can't believe this season is almost over. These ten episode seasons go quickly.
 
At last, Rachel has used her coldhearted ruthlessness for good! :lol:

The long-awaited return of Helena was wonderful, if a little convenient, but that's forgivable simply because of her interaction with Adele. Just how much longer is Felix going to keep her completely in the dark? And did honestly think she wouldn't meet the other sisters one way or the other?

Interesting little twist that Delphine is behind the eye glitch. I'm still curious about the Ethan connection and the whole video is suppose to mean. And who walked up behind her? Surely not Ethan himself?
 
"This is my half-sister. Different mother, same father."
"Yes, same mother...womb."

I think they use Helena sparingly enough to make her appearances fun. I did like Felix's sister trying to grok it all. "Wait, she's an identical triplet and she's foreign?"

After last night I don't think that was Ethan. It might be another faction of Neolution, maybe even the remaining members of Top Side or the Dyad refugees?
 
The bearded man could be P.T. Westmoreland, the guy who used to live on the island and wrote that book (The Science Of Neolution), or at least an afterimage of him.

With one episode left, I'm wondering if we'll get a cliffhanger.

Yeah, now that I get a better look at him, the bearded man appearing to Rachel isn't Ethan. It appears to be a character called "the Messenger," played by an actor named Geza Kovacs.
Fair enough. Clearly my memory sucks even more than I realized. :(
 
I was basically doing this when he appeared: “Ethan?... No, not Ethan... No, no, wait... Ethan... Nope, not Ethan...”
(And also... “Past? No, present. No... Past...”)
 
The arrow scene was awesome as was all of Helena's furs and home killed deers and .. she was really something :lol:

Guess it's time for the Hendrix's to dig up the garage again..
 
I can't believe the season is over already!

My one request for next season: Spanish speaking clone

She could easily pass, and would be an interesting new accent.

And random questions:

Now, did the Leda project include changing hair color? How is Helena still blond and curly? I noticed her eyes were less red.

And so are the other Castor clones dead?

Helena's brunette roots have been visible before, I'm pretty sure. And it hasn't been that long since she left. Given how serialized the episodes are, they're probably unfolding in less than real time.


And so are the other Castor clones dead?

I think so, yes.
 
What happened to the Castor that had the romance with the bible thumper carrying Helena's other baby? For that matter, what happened to her? I love this show but things are so convoluted at this point that I've lost all track of the plot from previous seasons.

I gave up on the show after last season. The previews for each episode make it seem like nothing really happens, it's just a cluster fuck.

So I want an important question, is Felix naked a lot in season 4? ;)

You're not watching the show... based only on the previews? Oh, boy, you have no idea what you've been missing.

A fair amount, yes.

He probably went back to Gracie since they were reunited and Mark helped Sarah with her plan to get Coady. We may see them again next season but I'm honestly glad we didn't see them this season.
