Appreciating awesomeness

I feel a little sick. It's not bad but makes me feel tired and it's hard to concentrate so instead of writing about my feelings the Orphan Black I'm just going to throw bunch of links at you.

I was right that they had scientist working on Orphan Black and she is friends with the show creator so the science was there from the beginning. It shows because instead of bending science to story the story is based on science. And now we know who Cosima is based on.

Post- finale interview with Tatiana Maslany - don't read if you didn't watch yet - but if you did she has some nice insight into all the clones.

We (the fans) are not the only ones who noticed Tatiana Maslany's awesome performance. There are people outside the fandom who also think she deserves every acting award ever. She has already been nominated for Critics' Choice Television Awards for Best Actress in a Drama category. And, even though the series is on a pretty niche network so ratings are nowhere near network dramas not to mention it's sci-fi which is the surest way to get overlooked, there are those who believe she can get an Emmy nomination. She was even invited on a Variety panel with those who will get nominated almost for sure.

The cast and crew of Orphan Black are thanking fans by posting pictures on Twitter with thanks. The best however is this joke spoiler plan for next season - some great ideas but they wrote themselves into a corner with episode 9:

I really liked the finale, but girlfriend and I have been constantly laughing at Paul's final confession ever since watching. Killing six marines by accident seems fairly strange. Killing one, or two, sure. But once you get to six, how friendly can your fire be? ;) I know, sure, something jams, you lose control of aim, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it sounded amusing in context. (How bad a shot is he?!)

I'll be looking forward to that second episode (and I accidentally wrote "sexond" which pretty much explains the state of my brain I guess) as well as the eighth. And the tenth is obviously the resurrection, isn't it always? Female heroines die and come back all the time.

I didn't even pay attention to Paul's confession (I suspected something like that) but it didn't seem particularly weird - with modern weapons killing six people doesn't take much effort and most of the friendly fire happens from afar so I just figured he covered place with fire and then when he came to check there were the dead marines. Ooops. And it's also obvious he isn't a very nice person - Vic and nail gun, drugged (poisoned) alcohol - he can do bad things to get what he wants.

I loved the finale - from changing allegiances to the final reveal.

Well, the second episode also has Frankenstein so resurrection is not out of question.

I feel like begging you to repost to orphan_black, but if you don't, I'll grab all the links as a round-up thingie.

Done. I hope the formatting is fine - I never done this before.
