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.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Finally caught up on Orphan Black - DUDE. That was a hell of a way to end an ep!!
Helena and Sarah working together could be...very very bad for everyone they encounter.

I'd pay folding money to have Rachel walk into her apartment at this point.

I had not even thought that far. So true. And awesome.
SO, thinking about Project Leda - Leda's children were Helen of Troy and, I forget who. Some guy?
