For those of you that have ignored the TSF reviews of Orphan Black, you are missing out on a really good show.<br />
<br />
Plowing through these at the moment, having put all other shows aside for the time being. Good story, great acting, writing and production.<br />
<br />
I see Tatiana is up for an award among some big names in the latest round of ceremonies which is amazing recognition given the lack of mainstream support for the show.<br />
<br />
I read where this is now going to be shown on BBC3 in the UK and expect it will pick up a head of steam there as it's far more 'britlike' than US.<br />
<br />
On another note I have read with apprehension that among the planned new series in the US is a reboot of one of my favourite shows as a kid 'The Tomorrow People' -
I am waiting for Orphan Black to come to a house near me, as I have no internet at my place at the moment (with nothing until probably Sept/Oct)<br />
<br />
Finished S1 of Grimm, and I started off a bit so so, but have enjoyed it overall (not a must watch, but easy watching) -
For anyone in the USA, BBC America is running a marathon of the first 9 episodes of Orphan Black in a row before the premiere of the 10th and final episode. From noon to 10PM on Saturday (Est). Alternatively, the episodes are available On Demand for free as well.

Yep started on orphan black when it was suggested at first, really well done and it's fun trying to figure out which one you'd have a go on first.<br />

She's bloody brilliant ... I find a couple way hotter than the others, it's flippin weird as I know it's the same person.<br />
<br />
Good to see it has already been renewed for season 2. -

[/quote]Yeah, Cosima is holding her own at the front at the moment, although there's something about Alison which has her rising up the ranks... -

Cosima was my least favourite when she was just being the hippy scientist, but when she dressed up for dinner she looked fine. Alison does nothing for me, I hate that fringe on women (is that what bangs are), I think it decreases attractiveness. She is a funny character though. -

[/quote]No problem with the fringe....I think it's the tight gym pants doing it for me. -
You pussies need to man up and step up to Helena. Hell of a freaky ride, but you might die afterwards.

So has anyone else got stuck into Season 4 of Arrested Development yet? I am about 70% done. It stated off a little slow due to the character based episodes, but after watching a few where the events overlapped, I d missed quite a few of the tie-ins in episodes 1-3, and actually re-watched them, and enjoyed them more. While there was no way it would live up to the expectation/hype, I actually don't think S04 is that bad. Being killed a bit by critics though. Deff worth a watch.
-
Keep watching, and it gets better. Season 4 is more of one big episode divided into 15 parts, rather than 15 stand alone shows. As you watch the same events from the other family members perspectives, gaps start to get filled in and some things in the first few episodes get fleshed out and make more sense. I still have 5 more episodes to go, but am enjoying it more than I did when I first started watching (and thought it mediocre)
-
Yeah I have one episode to go. It just keeps getting better. I was very 'meh' after 5 episodes, but after 14 I think it's genius. Not to many hysterically funny moments, just very clever writing.<br />
<br />
It's a completely unique season, and with every episode the picture becomes a little bit clearer. I'd definitely recommend it.<br />

I knew what was going to happen, but it still blew my mind. GoT tonight was stellar.<br />
<br />
There's some clips of fan reaction on YT that are priceless too.<br />
[/quote]<br />
Just watched it, annoyingly I read this post first so was looking for something as I watched.<br />
<br />
[spoiler]Wow, that was crazy. Sucks to be a Stark.<br />
<br />
A couple of things though ... how stupid were the the Starks to not have any security? Their whole army are camped outside but all on the piss? Have to suspend my disbelief I guess. <br />
<br />
I can't stand Caitelyn so was meh with her death, but Robb has been one of the better characters this season. I kind of wish they hadn't made Arya so whiny because there's not many Starks left anymore.<br />
<br />
Looks like I'm left cheering for Daenerys. [/spoiler]
