I was crushed by the end of last week's episode, too, but the cause of it fleshes out (no pun intended) Victor's background. And just like every other fridging, it gives him a new motivation. Plus, I think Rory Kinnear is incredible.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That was very upsetting but I think the Frankenstein story is my favorite so far. Even so.

I wonder if the pilot wasn't actually split into two episodes?

Because books.
I think there's just a lot of threads to weave together, and it was necessarily going to take a little while. With the most recent episode, I felt like I had a better handle on what the overall arc of the plot will be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tatiana Maslany just blows me away. Every episode I have to remind myself that all those people are her. And I have to say, Orphan Black is the first show in a long time that keeps hitting me with OMGWTFHSQ moments and yet none of those moments seem to come from nowhere just to shock the audience; it's all organic to the story. As if the writers had a plan or something, IDK.

If they don't have a plan, they are really superb improvisers. Evidence for this: in one of the early episodes, talking to the representatives from the Koreas, Rachel referred to the Supreme court that kind of Jossed a lot of the implications of the copyright claims in the DNA as the completion of the first tranche of results achieved by their lobbying. Nice save, show. Well played. Minor example, but the fact that they pay attention to that level of detail is telling.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've heard they have a three-year plan. The Supreme Court was nice improv, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
