Orphan Black (TV Series) Parts Developed in an Unusual Manner (2013) User Reviews

Gripping - quite a tail!

[DVD_Connoisseur · 9/10 · 29 November 2018]

The tension ratchets up in this seventh episode of season one.

There's all sorts of advancements in the plot and some truly bizarre revelations, especially when we discover what Olivier keeps in his trousers.

9 out of 10. Terrific.

Everything converges

[SJulien12 · 8/10 · 5 May 2021]

It's not one of the best episodes, but it certainly pushes the story forward. The Neolution Club, Olivier, Leekie, Helena and the police come together in a kind of mix of science and religion. We finally see who controls Helena and we learn more about Ms. S. Felix's call to Art will likely cause problems in the future, and we're now certain that while Paul didn't have any feelings for Beth, he certainly does for Sarah. The clones fall in love, some with more ease than others, with their monitor. The police begin to find that the identification of all the strangers is long, but eventually come up with a name: Sarah Manning.

Is Sarah in Danger?

[ZegMaarJus · 8/10 · 26 July 2021]

This episode begins with Cosima and Sarah, they talk about Delphine. Felix goes to a night club. Sarah eats her lunch together with Helena. Aldous has something to do with the cloneclub. Paul warns Sarah. Paul got poisoned by Astrid. Sarah arrived at Olivier. Sarah got tied up by Astrid. Helena knocked down Astrid. Helena strangles Sarah. Helena fights with Olivier. Helena cuts trough Olivier's tail. Sarah kisses Paul. Art has a match, is Sarah in danger?. Nice episode of Orphan Black Season 1, such a great episode. This fits the storyline just perfect!

[8.2] Helena = Yelena!

At last some stuff happening! A very good episode with revealing moments, steady development and the series' police finally starting to do their investigative jobs.

Disparate story lines make for a mediocre episode

[TouchTheGarlicProduction · 7/10 · 20 June 2015]

This episode felt like the polar opposite of the last one. That one was full of long separate story lines meeting. This one, on the other hand, felt somewhat disjointed. The police investigate the deaths, the blond clone (I finally learned her name; Helena) is sent to kill Sarah, Cosima continues to investigate the professor, Paul gets interrogated about Beth, and Felix investigates a techno genetic enhancement bar. If that sounds to you like a whole lot of disconnected things, then you'd be right. There were also some moments that felt very silly compared to what we've been given so far. The techno bar, the tail, and Helena's performance in particular felt strange in a disappointing way. The one part of the episode I really liked was the scene with Mrs. S. Her monologue about what she did to protect Sarah felt very real and emotional. This episode sets a lot of things up, and turns out weaker, but it looks like the next one is going to be REALLY neat.
