Lovers of fantastic TV and otherworldly
acting rejoice, everyone’s favourite clone-drama is finally back, and by the
looks of it, it’s about to get even more complicated! The last time we saw the
Leda-sisters, Sarah has only barely escaped from Dyad, Cosima was still dying,
Helena got kidnapped, Rachel got a pencil put through her eye, and Alison
was... being Alison? I don’t remember anything particularly terrible happening
to her in the finale, which is good because she’s my favourite and God knows
she’s been through a lot in season 2. And then there was of course the big
twist at the very end of the episode when we found out about the existence of
Project Castor, a group of male clones who all look suspiciously like Creepy Mark
from the Prolethean ranch.
That’s more than enough to make
anyone crazy excited about next season, right? Well, I’m afraid here’s the part
where most fans are going to get angry at me, but honestly, it didn’t make me
excited at all, for various reasons. First of all, the twist didn’t shock me as
much as it seemed to shock most people. I was kinda just like, okay, there are
male clones too, so what? Plus I never really gave half a shit about Mark so
there wasn’t even that to make me excited about getting to know his „brothers”.
Just imagine if it was revealed that Felix was a clone instead. Now THAT would
have been amazing. Also, by the end of season 2 I kinda got really confused
about all the different groups and people and organizations and who wants to do
what with which clones, that I was honestly more worried about season 3 than
excited. I mean, how am I gonna enjoy this show going forward if I have zero
idea about what’s going on? So I made this plan to rewatch the first two seasons
and make notes of it so I can finally get everything straight, but then I didn’t,
which meant that I basically went into this premiere completely lost.
Thankfully, the „previously on” segment was unusually useful and it helped me
remember a lot of things that have happened, so by the end of the episode I
felt like I was good to go forward again. The reason I’m telling you this is so
that maybe you’ll be more understanding if half of my review is going to be
clueless ramblings and me wondering about why certain things are happening. I
promise I’ll be more on top of things by the time the next episode rolls
around.
