Yeah thats why.

Anyways, Helena crazy ass is my favorite. I'd smash after she showered and promised to wear a straight jacket.

Why did she leave that nitrogen tank behind for though? For Cosima? Why did she leave to begin with lol

I think the tank has her eggs that she took from the Proletheans before she torched the place, at least that is what a lot of people have been saying on the net.

I agree they did a great job with Helena this season, from her being this murderous crazy person in season 1 to the sympathetic and funny person in season 2 who could dance with her seestra's.

Not sure how I feel about the male clones yet, it all depends on how capable the actor is at portraying different characters. He has some big shoes to fill when compared to Tatiana who defines this show.

I will say the show could benefit in defining some of the mythology and what exactly are the goals of Dyad. Mariam freed Sarah and has a different agenda than Rachel or Leeke had. That part of the plot could use more tightening.

This season felt like a setup season. As if they knew they would get a season 3 to explain in detail the expansion of the mythology that they laid out this time. I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as the first season. They set up a lot of stuff to explore so now I have to wait and see how well they go about it.

I feel that they rushed Rachel's storyline. It kind of went awry when she all of a sudden lost her mind at the fact that she was made to not have children and kidnapped Kira which is exactly how she (Kira) ended season 1. They also killed her father to break her character's psyche even more.

Although I didn't want this to happen, it would have been a huge shock to kill Cosima this season. Delphine also got a raw deal or so it seems as of right now. I don't think that they have written her out especially since Kira gave Cosima Professor Duncan's book with his work inside. Art was criminally underused this season. I also didn't like how Paul just went back to the military like that without letting the audience know what he's been up to during the season.

I've grown to dislike Sarah the most of the clones. Her story didn't go anywhere for me and I was much more invested in Alison, Cosima and Helena. Alison was the backbone of this season with Donnie and Vick (to a lesser extent) giving the show a little something extra even if it all amounted to filler. Felix was kind of garbage as well.

With the introduction of male clones, I hope they have something dope in store other than him being bred as a super soldier. They gotta have more for Kira's father, Art and Dyad to do in the next season. Probably a stand off between Dyad (Rachel), Top Side (when they disagree with Rachel) and the military.

Also, what was up with the young clone? Charlotte is 1 of 400 attempts. Plus, her leg was messed up. Possible birth defects on top of the respiratory disease? That's intriguing as well.

Helena and Art is the best pairing on the show. Followed closely by Alison/everyone, and Felix/Art.

I like the idea of using male clones as an asset or a weapon.

I hope that new clone has the acting chops cuz the clone chick is killing it. S1 she had me liking the uptight, bytchy clone over Cosima. S2 Helena had me thinking a certain type of way despite her being nasty as hell:shaq:. I even wanted to see more of that tranny clone :yeshrug:

I still can't truly wrap my head around Allison... She looks sounds and acts SO different from the rest

She did an incredible job with that character
