Quite a ride
DVD_Connoisseur29 November 2018
The episode manages to see-saw between tension and humour, balancing the continuing arcs of the disturbed Helena, the detective investigation into the recent deaths of possible "identical twins", Dr. Aldous Leekie's mysterious activities, and the ups-and-downs of our favourite Orphans.

A heart-stopping finale leaves the viewer shocked and desperate for their next fix of this unique series.

Everything goes wrong

Warning: Spoilers
It was great to see Alison again, even though her life is deteriorating by the second. Delphine's intentions seem uncertain, and Beth returns to the post to play the innocent. I like the scene where Ms. S meets a drunk and discouraged Alison, understanding now why her daughter was acting strangely. We learn that Olivier was just a pawn for Leekie who seems to be true boss of Neolution. The meeting between Kira and Helena swings between sweet and creepy, while the very disturbing end announces an intense beginning of the penultimate episode.

A major event leaves one wondering whether the next episode will be the salvation or damnation of the series. Warning: Spoilers
If the character I think they just killed is really dead, then I have mixed feelings. They set up that storyline enough for me to be concerned, but not enough to have the impact I feel like they want. That's why I hope the character is not dead, because it would be very predictable, and I hope this show stays more unpredictable. That being said, if they save her life, that could be ridiculous and unrealistic as well. It should be the kind of show where characters can actually die. It really all depends on how they handle it in the next episode. It could be a great story move, or a lame trope, and I really can't know until the next episode. Other than that, this was a very solid episode. The police are on to the clones, and find their way to Felix, we find out that Cosima's girlfriend is indeed her watcher, Alison wrecks her life, and Sarah comes out to Mrs. S.A major event leaves one wondering whether the next episode will be the salvation or damnation of the series.

Action is On!

Warning: Spoilers
This episode begins with Art and Angela, they discovered that Sarah has the same DNA profile as Beth. Cosima kisses Delphine. Alison has sex with Chad in her car. Olivier got poisoned by the doctor, he died afterwards. Olivier's death was planned by Aldous. Kira got ubducted by Helena. Kira got hit by a car. Nice episode of Orphan Black Season 1, very nice to see the action. Excited for next episodes!

[7.6] The warm and cold rooms of episode 8
cjonesas26 July 2021
A mishmash of an episode with many fill-up scenes and some unrealistic moments. Drama is good, but here, sci-fi is better. Hope they stay true to the latter.
