I rewatched the scene last night and it brought me to tears, it's so fucking intense.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Aw, dang, Paul's back in it next week. I don't know if it's the character or the actor, but damn, he is dull.
Orphan Black's very own Ward.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The end of the episode was one of those I'm just gonna wander around the house dealing with all these emotions before I try to do anything or read something or watch other TV things. Intense is right.

Paul makes Ward look like the Most Interesting Man in the World by comparison. Uggghhhhh, he just sucks all the air out of his scenes.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The actor is just bland. It's too bad, because as written, Paul could have been an interesting character in a right actor's hands.

Well, the poor guy is stuck acting opposite Tatiana, which can't be easy. But, yeah, definitely a sore thumb in a show that's otherwise very well cast.

So is everyone else on the show, and they're doing okay.

Because books.
I don't mind Paul, especially when he's less than fully clothed, but I guess I am surprised to see he's still part of the storyline.
I'm a little worried they're making Allison's story too goofy, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So there was about 1 episode (or 2) when I really liked Paul. I don't know what happened between then and now, but damn.
I agree with the comments about Sarah/Helena. That was just damn.
I feel really bad for Allison. She is a killer of course, but to realize you have been married to your handler? I mean what a mindfuck.

Hey, aired promos are fair game, right? Here's Orphan Black promo for 2x05: [link]
I am PSYCHED about Felix and Art sharing a scene with Helena. And Helena badassedly assembling or loading {?) that big-ass, uhm, sniper rifle, maybe! (Look, I know nothing about guns.) Is she gonna go all Rambo on the Prolethians? If so, I'm making popcorn.
