Orphan Black Season 2 Episode 1: Rash Is A Genetic Trait (Season Premiere)

Cinemablend.com

The first episode on season 2 of "Orphan Black" is entitled "Nature Under Constraint And Vexed". It picks up right where season 1 left off. Mrs S and Kira are missing. I still think Siobhan knows more than she's saying. Cosima is sick but Delphine is still by her side. Does she really have feeling for Cosima or is this part of the original plan? Sarah is being chased all over town by the baddies. Rachel speaks to someone on the phone in German and has Paul under her thumb.

Alison takes over the lead role in the community play after her neighbor Aynsley suffered an unfortunate run in with a trash disposal. Of course no one else knows Allison was present and did nothing to help her. Sarah asks Alison to get an unregistered gun. She knows a guy named Ramon.

I thought the Dyad Institute, Dr Leekie and Rachel had Mrs S and Kira but apparently its that crazy cult (the Proletheans). And the shocker of the episode is Helena is still alive but badly wounded.

Art and sidekick Angie finally pick up Sarah. Who's side is Art really on? I'm not sure we can trust him (and I definitely dont trust Angie).

Favorite Quotes & Miscellaneous Observations:

"Normally I’d say don’t do anything rash, but rash seems to be a genetic trait."- Alison to Sarah.

"Your chickens have been interfered with."- Baddy #1. "They're not my chickens. They're just my eggs."- Cook (before he gets shot).

The scene where Sarah pulls a gun on Rachel (ie ProClone) and then gets her in a choke hold in the floor was seamless. Watching a person fight with themselves is always entertaining.

That's quite a fashion statement Felix makes with those assless chaps.

Grade: 4 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). A great season opener. I cant wait to see what happens next.
