That would be super cool. In general I've wondered whether the clones were bread to be spies/assassins and it has manifested in different ways in each of them. They remind me of the multiple personas that Sydney Bristow would adopt in Alias. A few of them are adept at impersonation/acting/wearing a mask and how to go off grid. Helena is straight up an assassin, Alison watched Aynsley die, Beth killed Maggie, Sarah tried to kill Helena. Then again Cosima and the departed Jen seem fairly normal. I also wonder why the monitors all seem to also be sexual partners. It that also a sort of test or means of control? To be the person in the clone's life with which they are most intimate. <br /><br />I am going to ignore that last comment, lest we forget the curse, don't go getting spoiled.

Or something like that. :-)Ingrid KV Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357668181484669053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-60423198169324741742014-05-23T12:52:55.511-04:002014-05-23T12:52:55.511-04:00Oh...! Interesting point about Paul's comment....Oh...! Interesting point about Paul's comment. It felt off at the time, but then I thought, well, maybe it was a wink to the shippers or something. I like your idea better, indeed what if they are playing a long game. Oh that would suit BOTH their characters, they are both hustlers. Good one, Dave, I'll remember it - I'm more of a Sarah/Paul shipper than Sarah/Cal. Cal is cute but that's about it. Paul has character.<br /><br />As for Kira and Cal... I'm really wondering about Cal. The Defense industry has to do with the military, and it has already been put forward the possibility that the whole clone thing was started (or maybe supported) by the military. Ding.<br /><br />Oh and "meathead"... My parents used to watch Archie Bunker (I never got into that show), and Archie was forever calling his son-in-law "meathead". I'll have to remember that when my daughter gets married... lol...<br /><br />Tomorrow seems so far away.Ingrid KV Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357668181484669053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-17157407684837634992014-05-23T12:22:19.110-04:002014-05-23T12:22:19.110-04:00You didn't miss it.

I'm still stunned it's the same actress playing all these parts. Amazing.<br /><br />Yes! Rachel and boy toy Paul in a fish tank. Love it.<br /><br />Agree on Kira and Cal (see my comments to Ingrid above).<br /><br />Now that we've seen Daario's butt on GoT does mean we'll see him in chaps on OB soon?<br /><br />Went to the Sox game last Saturday. They were so bad we left in the 8th inning to see Godzilla down the street. The way the Sox are going these days maybe we can get big G to stomp on Fenway park.<br /><br />Thanks Lynne!Interdimensional Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859157830795670649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-86399480303381868422014-05-23T12:15:26.544-04:002014-05-23T12:15:26.544-04:00Hi Ingrid,
So sorry to hear about your Habs. Oh ...Hi Ingrid,<br /><br />So sorry to hear about your Habs. Oh wait, they won last night. Never mind! <br /><br />It's ok to shudder about Gracie, she does have murder in her heart. Some good parenting skills evident there. Then again if the least they do to you is lock you in solitary with your mouth sewn shut then what aren't we seeing? <br /><br />If what Rachel says is true about her upbringing then we can lay alot of the blame on Leekie. Did he experiment on her like Walter did to Peter?<br /><br />So you think Cal is bad? Everyone has a secret on this show but you'd think Kira would pick up on that. Maybe she is blinded by the Daddy thing. I think Cal is prepared for anything since his break with the Defense industry. Hence the Camper and the hidden gun. He must have left some enemies behind.<br /><br />Interesting observations about the second showing. For the last two weeks my DVR has been clipping the end of Continuum. Not happy with that! Thankfully I can find it on VOD and FF to the end. (Grr!)<br /><br />Don't get me started on Delphine! She's definitely hiding something. <br /><br />Yes, poor Felix, oh wait, a thought on Paul. Do you think he is playing a long game with Sarah? When she hit him on the face a few episodes ago he said, "Really, the face?" Maybe they have a secret agreement. That's be interesting.<br /><br />Thanks Ingrid!<br /><br /><br /><br />Interdimensional Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859157830795670649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-48864479372790677672014-05-23T10:19:52.042-04:002014-05-23T10:19:52.042-04:00Hi Dave,
Interesting theories, I can't wait ...Hi Dave, <br /><br />Interesting theories, I can't wait to find out what Ethan Duncan has been up to all these years. Even if he doesn't cooperate with the clones, Cosima could probably get a sample of his DNA and learn a bit. Did I miss it or was the cut behind Sarah's ear not mentioned this episode? Perhaps it was a seed planted for later. Helena is growing on me, I guess that is the intent. Her interactions with Felix and Art were fun to watch. She and Felix really should bond over their painting. Nice pickup on her watching the fish and the sardines. Interesting how later in the episode she was watching Rachel and Paul through glass as though in a fishbowl. I also found Helena trimming the Rachel doll's hair amusing. She is oddly endearing.<br /><br />I had a face-palm moment earlier this week while listening to a Game of Thrones podcast which pointed out that Cal is also Daario. Cal's clearly hiding things, but I think if Kira intuitively trusts him then he is good at his core. <br /><br />Can't wait for the Sarah/Helena road trip! -LynneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043207251205347321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-81652935647644001922014-05-22T21:32:43.387-04:002014-05-22T21:32:43.387-04:00Great theory about Duncan... could be. This whole ...Great theory about Duncan... could be. This whole project was surely a military one, and has already been mentioned I think... It makes the most sense in some ways, as this show seems to take current issues, and the use of science for wargames is definitely an issue. I'm betting we will find out a bit more about Duncan before this season is (already) over.<br /><br />Strangely, for me the creepiest scene in this entire episode was the scene you mention with Gracie. How horribly awful!! And right away it brought that book by Doug Dorst and J J Abrams to mind - "S". In it, on the ship that sails through the story, people repeatedly have their mouths sewn shut, and ingest food through straws, as did Gracie. But to see Mark give her that kiss. I didn't know whether to shudder or be happy for Gracie. Sometimes I get confused!<br /><br />Speaking of confusion. Rachel is way crazier than Helena... Holy hot dogs on a clothesline, Rachel is nuts. For her to be controlling to the degree she is, is really something, I wonder what happened to her to make her like that. Paul cannot possibly be out to team up with her.<br /><br />My opinion on the Rachel/Sarah/Paul/Cal groupie thing: Even though both Sarah and Paul have declared they don't care about each other any more, they of course do. Cal is bad to the bone, so to speak. He works for one of those collectives, though I don't know which. Or maybe a new one. Kira has a connection to her dad and likes to be with him, and Cal loves her but has been bought or bribed. I'm betting he DID love her (and maybe still does) but he is no knight in shining armor now, even though it might take until next season to find that out.<br /><br />Has to be. Nothing is simple on this show. Everything is convoluted.<br /><br />If Helena really is getting with the crowd, I hope they don't civilize her too fast because that just wouldn't be realistic. For a season and a half she has like a lonely and depressed Flipper in a room full of mirrors, so for her to become sane all of a sudden just wouldn't work.<br /><br />Which reminds me. As a semi-interesting interesting side note, I watched this episode live (and taped it), and then watched again the day after when it was rebroadcast (not the taped version). The rebrodasct episode had slight "adjustments" to it - certain scenes were clipped. Rachel's glacial date night was not so explicit, and Gracie's scene was clipped too. Oh and Felix's steamy date night.... I will be sure to always tape the live show.<br /><br />Delphine. Like Cal, I think she is walking a line, and I wonder if even Leekie knows.<br /><br />Oh I could go on for another hour but that's enough. Can't wait for Saturday because the other dude is back... I knew he'd show up again! And I bet he is "reformed". Hmmm. Or... bought? Will he be Donny's replacement?<br /><br />Poor Felix. Poor guy can't cut a break. I can't wait to find out about his past, it is surely tied in with the clones.Ingrid KV Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357668181484669053noreply@blogger.com
