I am quite enjoying it - although the accents are dodge!

Yes. I love it! Exciting storyline and funny as well. The lead actress is amazing.

NadiaWadia · 09/05/2014 23:41

Did you see Series 1?

bobblewobbleooh · 09/05/2014 23:48

Yes, I love it. My favourite clone is Alison.

Forago · 10/05/2014 00:05

yes I up to date just watched series 2 ep 3

do Canadians really think English people say "kick the living shite out of him" and "oi-oi!" all the time though? Smile

I say that all the time, don't you? Grin

I thought the accents were quite good myself. Apparently other cast members, like Maria Doyle Kennedy (plays Mrs S, she's Irish as well as her character) were surprised after the read-though to find the actor playing Felix was not actually English (he's Canadian). I also find Sarah believable as English.

How did yiu get ep 3, forago? Iplayer only has up to ep 2.

I am currently rewatching series 1. I have an idea but don't want to spoil anyone. Have we all watched series 1?

NadiaWadia · 10/05/2014 15:43

Well I think anyone posting on here will have seen series one. It would be kind of hard to follow if you haven't. So as long as you are not spoilering anything after S2, ep 2, I'm sure it's OK to put speculations here. What is your idea?

TerrariaMum · 10/05/2014 16:40

Probably totally obvious and more of a checking I have this right thing, but Margaret Chen, scientist turned Prolethean?

Forago · 10/05/2014 17:54

what about her?

I am watching them as they are broadcast in the US on the internet. think the UK is only 2 episode behind unusually. I've seen series 1 and series 2 1-3, no spoilers in 3 I don't think but I'll be careful.

1 episode behind I mean

Terraria yes I think that was mentioned about Margaret Chen. Can't remember when, though.

TerrariaMum · 10/05/2014 20:54

I think it was implied in series 1 as she had tbe fish symbol branded on her neck. The fish represents the Proletheans right?

Further thoughts. Has Delphine switched sides or not? I'm not sure. She referred to Cosima as a number when talking to Leekie which could mean that either she is putting on an act with Cosima or she used the number to make Leekie think she was putting on an act with Cosima.

I also wondered if Sarah and Felix using the term 'shite' is because they grew up with Mrs. S.
Speaking of whom, wow,she was ruthless, wasn't she?

NadiaWadia · 11/05/2014 03:05

Yes I was quite proud of Mrs S! But I can't work out if she is bad or good, why didn't she tell Sarah more about where she came from, as S obviously knows? And Amelia (the black birth mother that we met end of last season, murdered by Helena) seemed to think there was something suspicious about S.

SilveryMoon · 11/05/2014 08:47

Love this show and have been watching from the start. The woman playing Mrs S is pretty amazing, she was Catherine of Aragon in the Tudors and her accent in that sounded good.
I love Alison, she is hilarious. And am shocked that Fe is not English!

TerrariaMum · 11/05/2014 12:36

I think Mrs S is, as she says, on Sarah's side. And the not telling is an attempt to protect her and Kira. The problem is that not telling never ever works as a protective strategy.

Kaluki · 04/07/2014 23:23

I've just seen the last one!!
OMG

LeapingOverTheWall · 06/07/2014 19:32

I have the last two episodes to watch (once my DM leaves -can't watch anything she doesn't like when she's hereSad), but DD assures me it's Shock
Is there another series or would that be a spoiler?

oxygenna · 06/07/2014 20:42

Another series I would safely say.. I mean that the plot would mean is possible, not that a new series will definitely be commissioned.

Though I was waiting and expecting some shocking revelation. I thought it was decidedly meh.

SilveryMoon · 09/07/2014 01:15

I was excited to see another batch of clones thrown in at the end there. Can't wait for the next series.
Alison and Donnie burying Leekie was hilarious. I'm loving Helaina.
So are Sarah and helaina originals or clones od Rachel?
Will we see more of Tony? That was a pointless episode I think.
