I literally just want to watch Echoes but Prime says the license expired, it was taken off AMC+, YouTube TV make you pay extra for AMC+ but only has episodes 2 and 3?? Anyone know of pirating sites that have it? This is incredibly frustrating.
Edit: I mean season 1 episode 4
The rebar only looked like 1 rod, how were there so many cuts on killer clones back? Were they from the rebar or something else?
Hey everyone :) I hope you're all well.
I've been wanting to get a tattoo for ages for the show, originally wanting to get outlines/silhouettes of each of the LEDA Clones, but haven't been able to find a great photo of each of the clones to do that, so, I'm now thinking of getting each of their tag numbers in specific fonts with background colours special to each clone.
This is what I'm thinking below, but would love some feedback/suggestions and DEFINITELY some help with which colour you think represents each clone (and why, would be lovely). Thank you so much.
Alison - looking to do a very upperclass/fancy font, maybe something cursive. I was thinking a purple background, not 100% sure.
Beth - looking to do a very official font, almost like a police report font. Absolutely no idea what colour, maybe blue to represent police.
Cosima - looking to do a scientific font, if that's even a thing. No idea on colour.
Helena - want to do a chaotic font or even Ukrainian and not sure on colour, wanted to do yellow but won't stand out against my skin.
Krystal - a very girly or 'look at me' type font, was thinking a pink background
M.K - want to do a mysterious font, maybe even symbols (as she's very cryptic), again not sure on colour.
Rachel - I want her font to be very official again, very corporate. not sure on colour
Sarah - want a rebellious font, maybe even graffiti font. again on colour, no idea.
All help is great! Thank you!
Every moment of them together is so wholesome. I could watch an entire movie about their friendship. Favorite moments have to be when he takes her for the ultrasound and is so excited about her twin science babies, and then when he finds her boyfriend, Jesse Towing. I love them and I wish them well.
Basically that’s it that’s the post. Imagine your Best friend gets a divorce, then sleeps with your husband in your car, beats your ass in front of your neighbors, then comes into your house and watches you die while making eye contact… but doesn’t save you even though they could.
I enjoyed the show as a whole, but season 4 was spectacular. The whole concept of the maggot-bots felt way more grounded and serious than the other seasons. Did season 4 specifically have new writers or producers who made the overall tone feel different compared to other seasons?
I just realized that the wonderful Trevor Yuile cover of the Beach Boys song (sung at by Stacey Y at the cold open of S3Ep1) is not in English, except for the words "Wouldn't It Be Nice" themselves. Everything else is in another language, but you have to listen closely.
Does anyone recognize the language? In keeping with the show, I'm guessing Ukrainian?

I find the science behind the show very interesting but I'm no way close to being any kind of scientist. I'm curious about any scientific inaccuracies in the show.
I loved Paul since season 1, it got difficult on season 2 but I was never one of the watchers who hated him. Anyone there to talk Paul or Paul and Sarah without hate to either?
Needed a pick me up this week and realized the show was on AMC, it’s been so long i don’t even remember the end. I keep finding myself forgetting Tatiana is one woman. My brain is trying to convince me they’re actually a bunch of sisters acting this out lol Just truly one of the best shows i’ve ever seen.
Watching S3 E6 right now and Donnie and Alison dancing to Riff Raff in bed while throwing money has to be one of the best moments in this show lmao
On a personal note, I remember a friend who has since passed away begging me to watch this show, and i spent so long not listening to her. Watching it again now feels like she sent me a gift when i really needed it. This show is straight up magic and i’m grateful.
- I wish Rachael had a friend . Someone that could be there for her and be the only one to forgive her and understand Rachael . I really wish Rachael could learn to have a normal life . I want this explored in season 7 .
I want season 6 to have Sarah discover new clones and help them come to terms with it and forming a bond with them while also dealing with some antagonist .
season 6 I always wished for a scene where two clones meet at a fair and enter an attraction with lots of mirrors . maze . where you have to escape and are constantly looking at their reflection . One clone just discovered shes a clone pretty recently and dosent want to deal with it . dosent care . and i think she is trying to escape from someone by hiding in the maze ? and then i think shes scared or anxious to get out constantly looking at her reflection and shes in danger and in suspense. And as she escapes in suspense she bumps into a clone . in suspense but has to keep her compsure in front of the clone . knowing she would also be in danger makes the other clone go with her .
and i also want another scene where there is a show and tell event at school . And someones daughter brings their aunt . There is a teacher clone who also finds out about clones and she thinks its creepy maybe ? or is intrigued . Well in show and tell . clone 2 walks in .
and teacher clone is curious and unsure if she is a clone . and teacher clone says "you look like me"
the other clone laughs and says " i get that all the time " but says it in a dramatic way ? clone 2 is a bad clone . and as a viewer when clone 2 says that the viewer would know that she has met other clones . like people who are not clones say that to people in real life so it would be like that . like clever .
the show is for outcasts . its a show that empowers people that are outcasts. thats a really cool and beautiful thing . I once mentioned that orphan black is a super hero show told in a sci fi drama format . PLEASE If you are truly fans . And have tremendous love for the show . Lets get this post to 10k likes . and maybe share this to BBCA or the creators .
SEASON 6
a whole new story told . unconnceted to events of prior seasons . OR finding and curing the clones while dealing with a new corporation ? Anyways its up to the writers . And remember if something gets enough attention the show Can come back .
If you really love the show lets get 5k likes . # Bring Orphan Black Back
On an old USB I found today I discovered that I'd downloaded the first episode of the Japanese remake. So I gave it a watch - it's actually not that bad, and would like to watch the rest (they only made one season but it'd still be pretty cool to see how faithful it is to the original). Does anyone on here know where I can find it online?
Season 2 spoiler
Helena is my favorite. I love her and I understand her history that's why she's like that.
I just finished season 1, i wann know why they seem hostile to each other. I thought they were intimate and sweet. I remember them in Felix apartment and they shagged. Then an episode later they're like enemies? What's going on. Have i missed something?
Chiefs vs Raiders game.
I swear Water Prayer Rasta (from the dance scene) was playing. Idek where to search for this. Can anyone confirm or deny?
What songs would be on their playlist?
Just noticed on a rewatch, Simu Liu in season 5 ep 2 as Kira's teacher. Didn't know who he was the first times I watched this.
The 4k upgrade over the gritty style of 1-4 will take some getting used to, but I don't mind it so far. I can at least understand why Kuz finds it so hard to quit Delphine now.
Rewatching for the first time since 2017 and only just thought about this. Is it explained or?
After watching Orphan Black, the OG, I watched Echoes and it didn’t disappoint me, but I did have issues with it. Let’s start with the story. I just felt that the story had hardly to do much with Orphan Black, slip in cloning, slip in two characters from the OG (Felix felt like fan service to me), while Delphine did serve a purpose and label it Orphan Black. I thought the story was quite predictable. But it wasn’t bad at all. The problem with the writing lay more with the characters, rather than the story imo.
The story was pretty well written, it was not as good as the OG of course, not by a long shot. But then again we didn’t really get the opportunity of course, it only got one season and was cancelled. I get my suspicions why cause we’re in this “woke” era, where people will just bash anything with strong female characters for example. It was more intelligently written than the Acolyte for example, which was also cancelled for being “woke”. God, I hate what they did with that term.
Now the problem for me lay with the characters. Almost all female characters were strong female characters, while the men were like these beta men, so that female characters would look stronger in comparison. Nothing wrong with beta men, but if you have to resort by turning them into cowards for example, like this mercenary who worked for Darrow who really pales in comparison to Emily, his former partner, then you’re just not good at writing men. While Orphan Black had well-written men and women.
For sure Orphan Black was mostly female focused, but it did have great male characters like Felix and Art. They were strong male characters and I loved them, while in Echoes they even make fun of male characters by taunting Lucy to date a Cisgender man. It clearly wasn’t written for a person like me. At least that’s what it felt like. I could relate to some characters like Xander and Charlie. You don’t have to be female to relate to a female character imo. I’m disabled and so is Charlie and her struggles. Yeah, I could see myself in her to a point.
So, my last issue was that it was in a futuristic setting and that’s certainly a me problem. I preferred the more grounded setting in Orphan Black, rather than the setting of Echoes. I also felt that the ending of the season wasn’t very climactic, though great pity about what happened to Jules as she was certainly my favourite character, but who knows where it could have led to, cause I do think it deserved a second season. Call it giving the show the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for reading this if you made it all through.
I think it looks like grading on very low lighting but my partner thinks it was filmed at night. To me it looks too light to be night time, it’s like dusk or very early morning and graded to look like moonlight because of the amount of details on everything. Does anyone know of any behind the scenes footage from that specific scene?
hey! so im tryna find a way to download all the episodes of Orphan Black (all 5 seasons). if I can’t get all, that's totally ok!! I'd be happy with just a few, tbh i mostly just wanna make some scene packs for edits n stuff 🖤 any tips on how I could do that?
Thank ya'll for your help!! <3 <3
I was trying to find out if anyone has any good options to get the comics of ‘crazy science’ and ‘Helsinki’ cause I got the main series and ‘Deviations’ digitally. So if someone could help me with that, that would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: Found it, but thx to everyone for responding.
