I will be incredibly sad if Mrs S turns out to be one of the bad guys.
Yes.
I'm not too happy about Cosima's symptoms, either.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe there are good guys. Ones who know what's up, I mean.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Someone said that they wondered if Beth was sick and that was the final straw for her to kill herself. If the clones may have homicidal tendencies or risk of grave illness...hmmm.

You mean - that they are programmed to die once they become aware of their clonedom?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
No. I wonder if there is a flaw in the replication process - not only related to the lung disease (which we've seen referenced and Cosima has it).
But also a personality flaw as well. Beth had serious mental health diagnoses that were not only situational, Allison is troubled at the very least watching her former friend die.

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
Heh. The Intellectual Property aspects are where I finally had my susupension of disbelief shattered. Not the clones, not the multi national conspiracy, not one actress playing a dozen things... but the IP is where I went "this is abusurd".
I'm still game-on, however.
Whether or not an expired patent on a human being would hold up in court, I think the more important point was that the contracts were entirely bogus, and any security or freedom they appeared to offer would have been an illusion. Leekie never intended to stop spying on his clones.
The contracts were always entirely bogus. That bugged me too. You can't have a legally enforcable contract for an illegal act. I can't go into court and sue my drug mule because she ran off with my coke. Good thing none of the clones went to law school or that whole episode couldn't have happened.
Again, I'm still game-on. I don't care that much that they are running loose with intellectual property law. If medical people could take it on ER for a decade (I knew some who called it "ER-ROR"), I can hack it.
But Mrs. S working for Neolution really surprises me. I'm kind of hoping she represents a third force or someone who went rogue and turned against them long ago. And took Kiera cause she considers herself better qualified to hide her than Sarah. But this show is completely capable of having her be one of the bad guys.
She left the photo in the birth-mom's bag, didn't she? I think that's a sign of "rogue force for good".
I was a little surprised that Sarah didn't secure Kiera before she told them to stick it. I'll attribute it to her being completely whipped from the events of the day. Because I'm still game-on.

Heh. Sadly, "Battlefield" and "Master Plan" do a pretty good job of derailing the momentum that the rest of Season 2 built up for me. And I'm sure now that Colton has left that WTF 15-minute-long Terminator ripoff shot of him getting up naked in front of the jeep headlights is going to bug me as an even more gratuitous waste of screentime.
