That's where I thought they were going with the Castor thing too.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just realized, when Maslany plays Rachel, her hair is a different color and cut. If that's a wig, it's a good one.

Apparently, they attempted a close cropped wig for Tony, but they couldn't make it work. I guess the clone department gets better resources than makeup.

I thought for sure it was Paul, because of Castor and Pollux.
I can't remember much of my mythology beyond that they were twin sons of Leda and Zeus. What's the connection to Paul again?
The writers are pretty good at retconning stuff, I think. If they didn't fix on the Mark actor as the male clone until after they shot the first few eps, then the notion of the military placing Mark as a plant among the Prolethians and Paul in Dyad must not have been decided until the middle of the shooting schedule of the season.

Project Castor, Paul = Pollux. Paul X!

Ahhh, it's the name thing. OK, I'm thick.
The mere idea of Paul trying to portray several different clones makes me giggle. It'd be like, a big block of wood vs. slightly scruffy block of wood vs. a piece of wood that's sorta chipped.

I feel bad for the guy because I saw the show that Wil Weaton hosted where he interviewed a few of the cast and some fans (Patton Oswalt for one), and he seemed like the nicest guy but he doesn't even have the chops to go up against the guy who plays Felix, let alone Tatiana.
I keep watching that clone dance party scene over and over and it's not to see where the seams are, it's just because it is such a WONDERFUL sequence. I love Alison's reticence to join and then she's smacking Felix on the ass. And Kira just loving it all. And Helena finally cutting loose in a way that doesn't end in mayhem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And Helena finally cutting loose in a way that doesn't end in mayhem.
But does involve chewing your skirt.
I've been on record that male clone line=Enver, and so I'm sad they went with someone familiar, even if it benefits the story. They should just have hired Enver SOONER.

You'd think between his established cred at playing multiple different roles in one series and having an actual twin who could be hired to save beacoups CGI dollars for interactive shots, Enver would be the go-to guy for clone casting needs

Matt,
He might be too expensive at this point.
