Orphan Black Season Finale

SPOILERS: Orphan Black Season 2: By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried

This post will be one of my informal posts for the week, and will probably be the only one for the week. I just finished season 2 of Orphan Black, and needed to share my thoughts with someone because the cliffhanger is just killing me. I'm warning you now nothing in this post is going to be deep or critical. I'm really just ranting about my feels over what has happened in the past few episodes that I just can't handle.  The fact that season 3 does not come out until next spring is probably going to kill me. I don't know if I can wait that long. (I'm not good at being patient when it comes to waiting for television shows. It's why I like to binge watch television.)

Anyway, back to the actual plot of the show. First of all I love both Cosima

and Helena are my favorites of all the clones. (I think I also would have liked Katja a lot as well, but due to her premature expiration I did not learn enough about her to know.) Their story lines are the ones I've been invested in the most through the entire series. Helena I find really amusing, especially the fact that she eats everyone out of house and home. It's very amusing. I'm not sure how I feel about her being pregnant. (I'm actually doubting she's actually pregnant because there was not any doctor verification of this or an ultrasound, so I cannot 100% believe that the embryos took.) I think I'm behind her having a baby, though. She's the strange one, the one that everyone doesn't think is 100% sane, but I think she understands, thinks, and plans a lot more than the show and other characters give her credit for. It's clear she really loves kids, and I think I'd like to see her with a baby....as long as the stabby murdery side of her goes away before the baby(ies) arrive. As much as I think I'm okay with Helena being pregnant I'm getting a little annoyed that she is always where the trouble is or is the cause of trouble. I know, I know she's the out of control, unpredictable one, but it's getting to the point where the show almost seems to be picking on her because of that. Right now she just got kidnapped by some weird military people after just escaping from the weird cult that Felix likes to refer to as the "fish people". Can we stop picking on Helena for a moment and just let her chill for a minute. I don't think she's had a moment where she wasn't running from something, attacking something, or being kidnapped since her character was introduced. I mean, none of them have ever really stepped back out of the action, but for Helena I feel like she's had a particularly intense storyline. I'd just like to see her get a minute to breathe. However, I LOVED the scene where she finally got to meet her sisters. That gave me all the feels, but I'm biased because I have deep love for sibling relationships. Basically I just love Helena a lot and want everyone to see and accept her potential as a person as much as I do because she's awesome and her eating habits are hilarious.

As stated before my other favorite character is Cosima. In fact, she's probably my favorite of all the clones. When she first appeared in the show my feelings were iffy on her. (Similar to my current feelings about Allisoin). It didn't take too long for me to fall absolutely in love with her character,

though. She's just so interesting and not your typical brainiac, which I love. She's got depth, and love, and flaws, and desires. One of the most interesting sides of Cosima is when she does things she knows she's not supposed to; her desire to take risks. It's just so fascinating to me. I might be biased because her incapability to do what she's told is the reason she and Delphine are a couple, and I adore the two of them. (At least for now. It seems up in the air to me whose side Delphine will be on, but as of now I like them very much.) Can we also talk about how much I love the fact that a woman can be such a brilliant scientists? Love it. A lot. Ever since Cosima got sick I've been terrified that she's going to die. Near the end of this last episode when she wans't responding to Kira I almost lost it because if Cosima died I don't know if I could keep watching. (Let's be real, I'd keep watching, but I would NOT be happy about the loss of her because she's such a great character). The sicker she gets the more terrified I get. Ugh, I just love her so much. Please don't die. Let Rachael or Allison die. I'm less vested in them. I want more Cosima. She's really the reason why I am so impatient for the show to start up again. I want to hear more about her, her relationship with Delphine, and what contributions her brilliant mind make into the craziness that this show has become.

Okay I'm going to end my rant there. I really just had to whine about Cosima and how freaked I got when I thought she was dead. I actually started scolding my television. (Yes, I talk to my shows. I know they can't hear me. Stop judging me.) If you haven't seen Orphan Black you really should go watch it because it's such a phenomenal show with some great strong females, an interesting plot, and lots of cool sciency stuff. This is pretty high on my recommendations list for sure. 

I also want to remind all of you that my first live blog will be taking place tomorrow night for the next episode of Doctor Who. You can follow my tweets as I watch the episode at twitter.com/lightscameratv. Tomorrow is supposed to be a scarier episode, so my tweets will probably be pretty entertaining. (I don't handle suspense or scary things very well.) Until next time!
