Orphan Black - Season 4, Episode 5 - "Human Raw Material"
Added 2023-03-24 03:49:03 +0000 UTCCOUPLE DISCLAIMERS!!!
First, I was testing out this new mic arm to see if I liked it, and didn't realize when I unplugged my mic to set it up some settings got changed. The audio was pretty rough. I did a lot of extra work on it to try to make it sound as close to normal as possible. So hopefully it's not too distracting. My audio isn't great in general (I know) and I always have to clean it up a lot for each video, just this time started out much wonkier than usual. BUT I actually will be trying some new settings here soon that should improve at least a little bit overall. Today was just a mistake!
Second, everyone was really pissing me off in this episode not going to lie. I get heated. I get ranty. I get harsh. And I feel pretty justified, LOL (don't I always), but I've calmed enough that I'm open to hearing your potential defenses for the things that enrage me for all the characters... except Fe. LOL. I am still very angry at him and I don't even want to HEAR anyone defend his actions!! (Obviously I'm mostly kidding, you can say whatever you want here I'm just warning you he's going to be the hardest one to get me to soften towards regarding this episode at least.)
Hope you enjoy my rage? and for the love of GOD can we PLEASE bring Krystal into the clone club???? AAAAAAHHHHHH. Ok. I'm calm. Wooosaaahhhh. Try to enjoy. Love you all. :)

Hey Kelsea. Sorry I'm late to the party... or the wake. LOL. I've read everyone's comments and your responses, and I think I might shut up. I want to comment so much, but I think I'll give you a month or two to calm down. π But this is why this show is so good. It pushes buttons. Soon you will be cheering for Fe, Helena and Krystal and crying for other reasons. Never seen you so riled after an ep ever. Wow! Until next time, C U then.

They need to start assuming that a lot of these people know their faces. They're not thinking. And I disagree with your point about Krystal. She wouldn't have been there, alone, in that situation in the first place if we had let her be part of the team. Which is my whole point entirely. She keeps putting herself in dangerous situations because she's desperate and she doesn't know enough to avoid those situations. We could help her avoid them. But we don't. And then we shrug and say "see it's a good thing you don't know anything!" I don't think that's fair. Especially when she HAS been kidnapped and held hostage as Rachel. And she didn't know then. Didn't exactly protect her. I am withholding judgment on this season for now though I promise. I have a feeling the second half will be better lol.

2023-03-25 18:01:50 +0000 UTCI didnβt get to watch your whole commentary bc Iβm so busy but π First I think you misinterpreted the Alison and Cosima situation. Originally, Alison was supposed to go with Donnie and Cosima just replaced her. So it wasnβt like Cosima was being dumb and Alison was being smart. They were both trying to get info on Brightborn and they didnβt know Evie Cho was going to be there. Also, I understand your frustration with clone club, not informing Krystal about being a clone. But I think how Brightborn treated Krystal this episode shows you exactly why clone club doesn't want her to be self-aware. If she was a self-aware clone, do you think that Brightborn would have just let her go like that? In a way the sisters are trying to protect Krystal. But yes, it is frustrating that she keeps getting put into shitty situations. I think as the season goes on, you will understand why itβs my favorite season. I think thereβs a lot to come and I think the season does a really good job of tying in past, present, and future. Personally, I think all of the seasons are good so itβs hard to even pick a favorite; so I would avoid trying to come up with a favorite until the very end lol Anyways, I love the show and it can be really frustrating, and very real, but I think thatβs why I love it so much
