Orphan Black: Since Felix is Art's lead on Sarah Manning, and Allison is staying with Felix, is there a chance in hell that Allison won't be arrested in mistake for Sarah next episode?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Not a single chance in hell :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's in Spoilers lite. And since it is a spoiler easily guessed by reading your question, I'd spoiler-font it.
The network will/has announced it, but there's no rule in place for when it can be discussed in blackfont here. It will be before the event itself.

Eh. Better to delete it, as long as people know where the news is.

That's hilarious, quester. I'm still in Season 5, myself.

I just finished the episode where Sisko hallucinates that he's a science fiction writer in the 1950s and all of the cast are different people he knows. Wonderful, profound and disturbing.

I 2nd this. One of the *smartest* shows ever. Attention conservation notice: the rest of this post discusses what the "intellectual property" brand coded into the clone's gene's accomplishes legally.
I'm pretty sure the "intellectual property" gene sequence does not give the neolutionist the claim the show thinks it does. Yeah, there is real Supreme Court precedence that patenting a gene sequence gives the patent holder a monopoly on medical tests that detect diseases revealed by that gene sequence. And even unintentional planting of patented crops is a violation of patent or copyright, and reproduction of patented organs is illegal copying.
But I suspect the fact that soybeans can be owned and people can't still has legal implications even under our reactionary Supreme Court. Even ignoring this (and who knows what our courts would do in such a case), Neolution faces three complications: the gene sequences are the result of illegal experiments. Also since the clones are over 20, any patents have expired. Neolution probably never filed patents in the first place because of the illegality. The third is the least important: there can be intellectual property protection for an invention without filing the patent, but (as a non-lawyer playing lawyer) I think the patent expiration is a killer, and I think illegal development one may have some weight as well. But it is a work of fiction, and I don't object to exaggerating how bad a bad law is for the sake of the story.
And even though the show exaggerates, intellectual property laws really have evolved in a very bad direction, especially biological inventions - either from genetic modification or bred the old fashioned way. Way too restrictive, and way too much corporate control.
