Does contain very mild spoilers (ie, the premise of the show, which isn't revealed until the end of episode one and I would recommend watching blind if you have managed to avoid so far - this "spoiler" is everywhere surrounding any talk of the programme) - and some minor discussion of characters, but no serious spoilers for actual plot points.

Anyway - after watching seasons 1 and 2 I have been blown away by her but after reading this I am girl-crushing really hard. Talented actress who is a feminist and not afraid to blow away that awful "strong female lead" tripe in a millisecond.

Bring on season three! :)

Ooh! I watched the first few episodes and enjoyed them, then for some reason I got distracted and lost track of it.

Thanks for inspiring me to go back.

You won't regret it! :) I think I watched each season in about a week each. There's a point where you just can't stop watching.

I would apologise for the late hour you will inevitably sleep tonight but it's a bank holiday, so it doesn't much matter.

Bertie, could I PM you to talk about Orphan Black as I don't want to put spoilers on this thread?

Yes of course, or start a new thread with spoiler warning? :)

Good idea! Will put one in Telly Addicts. Forgot to say that article was indeed brill. I think TM is amazing and MN should try someday to do a webchat with her. I wish I had been that awesome at 29.
