Alison takes centre stage in another solid episode.
This was the first episode in a while where Alison's story was used not for comic relief, but actually as the dramatic centre of the story. There were certainly comedic moments, but it mostly consisted of tension. Towards the end of this episode, there was some splicing of the comedy and tension in editing that I found slightly jarring. This show is normally very good at balancing those elements, but there were a couple of moments in this episode that did not work for me personally in that respect.

Sarah and Cosima negotiate with Rachel and Susan. This mostly consists of clone Skype calls, and sets up things for the next couple episodes. Rachel's swan visions are still a mystery, and one that I hope we see some answer to relatively soon.

This episode was good. It provided tension in the moment and set up some story lines for next week that seem neat. Aside from one big thing, this was not at all a pivotal episode, but it did just fine.

Orange, rosy purple and white

Warning: Spoilers
A nice developing episode with Allison (mostly) in the center. Some logistics seemed convenient (e.g the helicopter), some scenes and their "hygienic" place not shown (e.g. Harvesting of the eggs) and though there was some dramas, the tension wasn't realistically palpable. It's dragging a bit to prepare for (the marathon of) the last two episodes. So I hope!

On and off the island...
