Orphan Black - The Pilot Episode

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday!  We are back with special guest Maddie
this week for a discussion of the pilot episode of the critically
acclaimed series, Orphan Black.

We kick off the discussion with our Orphan Black "origin stories"
in which we share when we started watching the series and what
drew us to it.  We then move on to our overall thoughts of
the pilot episode.  Unsurprisingly, there was very little we
disliked about it.

Next, we do a deep dive into the plot and discuss some Qs that
need some As.  What would you do if you saw a woman standing
on a subway platform taking off her shoes and putting down her
purse?  What level of freaked out would you be if you bumped
into a stranger who had your exact same face?  After you
come across your doppelgänger, do you let it go or do you pursue
more information?  We also unpack the many layers of Sarah's
desperation and share our respective thoughts on the point at
which she may have gone a little too far in her efforts to claim
the money Beth left behind.

No discussion about Orphan Black would be complete without
praising the immensely talented Tatiana Maslany.  We also
give our best elevator pitch as to why you should keep watching
Orphan Black if you have not already watched the series and then
things get a little thirsty.

The episode closes with a spoiler segment.  Fear not - you
will have lots of warning if you want to avoid them until you
watch the series.
