She is the number one candidate for being the truck driver... good one, Dave!<br /><br />And yes it's a good point about Gracie... and sibling rivalry was definitely a point I thought of, but if that is true, that would make this marriage incest, would it not? I doubt the show will walk down THAT road. Although who knows.<br /><br />TV warhorse... lol... same here! Not such a bad thing.<br /><br />For the Wordpress thing, I've got to clean up the social media thing (which might be easier now), because there are two "like" boxes - one alone, and one with the group. One is a Facebook like, I think it's the alone one.

How nauseating.<br /><br />You're right, all signs do point to Henrik raping Helena. I guess I am such an old TV warhorse that I expect a twist everywhere I look. If he personally completes his heinous act it would just set him up as a bigger bad.<br /><br />Hmm, here's a thought. He refers to his daughter, Gracie, as his "first born." But he didn't say how she was conceived! Was she the product of a rape, artificial insemination or "the way God intended?" She obviously resents Helena and it could be just a weird "sibling" kind of rivalry. Or it could be she intended for big plans and now Helena is stealing her thunder.<br /><br />See? That's the old TV warhorse coming out in me.<br /><br />Do I believe the Daddy story? I joked the conception wasn't sci-fi enough but now I am hearing internet based rumors that there is something special about Cal. I actually wish he was just a normal guy with a propensity for hunkiness. Maybe he is from a competing clone factory that specializes in males only and they want to "merge" with the Dyad institute.<br /><br />The dude on the passenger side of the car is Daniel and he is generally reviled. I just updated the blog post this morning to add Mrs. S to list of possible t-boning suspects. I should have thought of her in the first place.<br /><br /> I like how you characterized Alison as, letting herself down. That makes it even sadder.<br /><br />Always good to hear from you Ingrid. The more words the merrier. I'll try your site again. Wordpress wanted me to join last time. Maybe I just blew it. Did you hear me on "The C Word" podcast? It was a lot of fun.<br /><br />Interdimensional Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859157830795670649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-87130289509213879712014-05-08T20:05:38.456-04:002014-05-08T20:05:38.456-04:00Hold on, gotta scroll back up to the top...
Ah ye...Hold on, gotta scroll back up to the top...<br /><br />Ah yes. Henrick and Helena. Seeing as we're watching conspiracy tv (essentially), one has to suspect everything. Much like real life. Therefore, though all the arrows point towards "rightful rape", it seems too easy. On the other hand, who knows. I almost hope they go there because no matter what people say, it is not a thing of the past. It is more common in a few cultures, apparently, and so yes, I think it is still something to bring to the front once in a while, particularly in this typ of show.<br /><br />Dang right, female empowerment. Go girls. (and Montreal, by the way, them Habs doin' not bad, no? Not that I really watch, but still....)<br /><br />I LOVE it that this show is taking what is not really all that new, essentially, but when you put females in all the lead roles (even if the majority are the same actress) it puts a VERY neat spin on things. This show, for me, has creeped up to the same level as Doctor Who.<br /><br />Anyways, if they do the artificial route with Helena, it will almost be chickening out, because the show has really shown strength in many ways so far. Guess we'll see. The big question is, whatever happens, will she be able to have a child? I might bet yes.<br /><br />Do I buy the Daddy story? Do you? I'd have to guess maybe yes, because Kira is not only observant, she seems to have a "connection" with her parents. She knew right away when it was Allison posing as Sarah. Possibly Kira felt a connection with Cal. But he is suspicious. He's also in the sciences and so almest certainly has been contacted by one team or another. One thing that struck me was, he wasn't really all that into hooking up with Sarah again until Kira came into the picture. And then he was all over Sarah. and when the dude with the gun came to take Kira (who the hell lets their kid that age out of the house all alone??), Cal basically sent Sarah off and kept Kira.<br /><br />I call skeptic.<br /><br />I watch this episode three times, and each time that truck scene made me jump. It really reminded me of a Fringe scene... I forget exactly which, but there was at least one like that. I have no idea who was in the truck, but the dude on the passenger side of the car must be looking for his contacts for sure.<br /><br />Favorite scenes:<br /><br />Cosima watching that video of the dying clone, telling her girlfriend (forget her name) not to be a bitch, and her face when that clone says she is going to die there. I've seen people dying of cancer, and Tatiana did a good job of that.<br /><br />Alison's turmoil at her play. There was a lot there. She is a soccer mom with issues (and lots of neat connections), and it was heartbreaking to see her lose it. This meant everything to her, and she let herself down.<br /><br />It is natural that Felix would want to help Alison, Sarah does indeed need Felix (in fact, most of all perhaps) but Sarah isn't capable of standing up for someone for a length of time. Alison can and right now has lost all that.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry... I wrote way too much. By the way, check out my fangirl site some time... I haven't had the chance to post much except for my WordPress adventures as I figure out how to stabilize my main site. Well, in some ways, all that is sci-fi...
