It is odd because I didn't really like any of the characters by the end of the first season and wasn't planning to watch this season. For some reason they are all growing on me now.

The plots are getting even more complicated and perhaps a bit over the top but always within some basis in reality. If this were an American show some of the clones would have been given superpowers like ESP and telekinesis by now to start roping in a younger audience. It is a well written and plotted out show.

Some questions answered (although apparently Rachel didn't much like hearing it).

Even while Orphan Black received praise for the diversity of its characters, there was some debate online about the decision to have Cosima be gay, because If she has the same genetic code as her clone sisters, does that mean the show is implying that she chose to be gay as opposed to being born that way (since other clones like Sarah and Alison appear to be heterosexual)? Absolutely not, says the woman who plays her. “By no means are we saying that Cosima chooses to be gay,” says Maslany. “It’s by no means that. It’s just that there are so many biological factors into the mother’s womb, into the conditions of the womb. So much of the research I was doing about clones was about identical twins, right? Identical twins would actually be closer in expression than clones because clones are birthed from different wombs. And there’s so much information that gets fed through the mother. I think we’re not saying anything about that in terms of choice and biology or whatever. We’re saying more that everyone could be anything.”
