Orphan Black Binge

I hate Orphan Black. By that I mean I can't stop watching Orphan Black! It probably isn't serious, I mean it was 6 PM when I started watching the show and its only what... yeah it is 2 AM. Curse this show and all of its unbearably awesome goodness! There are clones, there are very strange staring sessions, dialogue that is just priceless, a riveting plot that leaves you wanting more until you have been watching it until 2 AM and debating whether or not you really have to sleep at night.

  While I won't mention any spoilers *cough* forget about that clones comment *cough*, I do have to say that people seem to get stabbed, nail-gunned, shot and otherwise hole-put-in-places-there-shouldn't-be-holes-ed all throughout the show. And it leaves me wondering how so many people survive all of this stuff, now while sure this is the least of the fringe sort of thing that makes this sci-fi-ish show good, I have noticed that I don't mind it. Normally if you watch someone get shot, hit by a car, a piece of rebar stabbed into them and so on, you would think "Oh that is so unrealistic, I am done watching!" But after watching this show I find myself believing it all and wanting more. If nothing else than to figure out what a fish with wings has to do with anything, you know minor stuff like that.

  I just finished the second episode of the second season after powering through the last half of the first season. So perhaps it does get explained why fish with wings matter, or why no one wants to involve the police in anything that the police should probably be involved in, or why scientists have enough money/power to have seemingly endless men-in-black minions who have no problem doing some pretty messed up stuff, or how a single actress can play so many different roles and sell each role so very well. Hats off to Tatiana Maslany for having such amazing skills, but dang it I just don't want to go to sleep before watching another episode!
