Orphan Black: Season 2, Episode 2 “Governed by Sound Reason and True Religion” (B+)
Tatiana Maslany’s performances on this show never get old for me, since I really am hypnotized every time and then have to remember that she’s the one portraying all of the clones. I’ve never thought of Sarah as the most interesting one, though she did score a big win in this episode, successfully ferrying her daughter away from a dangerous situation that was about to get a lot worse. After finding out that it was Helana and not Rachel who had apparently kidnapped Kira last week, we found out that Mrs. S was the one who took her, allegedly for her own protection. I’m glad that Kira is able to speak up for himself and could warn Sarah about what was going on, especially Mrs. S proved herself to be a vicious opponent, not hesitating to stick two sharp pieces of silverware in each of her duplicitous host’s hands. Allison is spiraling out of control, confirming that Donnie is her monitor just as her one support system, Felix, leaves town to go with his original clone. After Sarah knocked her out, Rachel seems more determined ever to exact some sort of revenge on the clones, and Cosima is going to bear the brunt of that. Meanwhile, the newest Prolethean is both a religious devotee and a brutal leader, demonstrating his faith in Helena’s significance. The casting of Peter Outerbridge from “Nikita” and other projects makes perfect sense, and I’m sure it won’t be long before Henrik comes face-to-face with Sarah.
