Oh, jeez, I just got it. Yeah, that was way to much work.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
OK, I've worked my way through Orphan Black. I am so impressed with how the lead actress makes the characters so distinct!
I like it very much so far. Paul looks like Michael Vartan; they have the same Frenchy, thin but arched nose. That's a great nose. /shallow

I thought it was a Thomas Guide reference.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Did Tom Tom pay off in any further way? That seemed to be a lot of work for a pretty obscured punchline.
I thought the joke was cute, and I got it when he said his name, but clearly it went over some people's heads. It was pretty random and pointless, though.
And now, I don't get it at all.
TomTom is a popular GPS.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, I have finally seen the first Orphan Black. I would be marathoning the rest if I didn't have GoT and Mad Men to watch tonight. Good stuff.

Yeah it is. It does not catch its breath.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, that's a long way to go for a joke (re: Tom Tom). Fun episode, though. I think I might love Jenny the best.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Although when she really should have been shrieking at them, when the house fills with weird stuff right after they do a strange ritual with her, does she call them?
In fairness, I presume she was about to call someone when she dropped her phone into the bottomless pit in the living room.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I might love Jenny the best.
Yeah, I love Jenny. Love her kick-ass ass-kicking outfit.

Now I wanna see Strax, Vastra and Jenny hang out with Captain Jack. Just to see Jack hitting on Strax.
