Description

We're talking about our favorite biological identicals and the people who love, created, and try to murder them! Returning guest Julian Lejbman helps me dissect the BBC America sci-f thriller Orphan Black. 

A few things we discuss in the episode are: 

• What we tell people who haven't seen Orphan Black before when we pitch the show to them;
• How Orphan Black transforms over time;
• Alison's existential crisis about being a clone;
• Factions within factions within factions (there were almost too many factions);
• Who's your favorite clone? ;
• Moral relativism and the doctors who practice it;
• Sarah Manning is bad at doing the right thing but she's really trying;
• What makes a maternal clone?

This episode is part 1 of a 2-part conversation. This first part is light on spoilers so it shouldn't ruin anything if you haven't seen the show or have only seen parts. Part 2 will be out on December 21st.
