We've had a Dr. Who thread. Since Orphan Black follows Dr. Who on the Space channel I was wondering if anyone else is watching it? It's one of the more imaginative new shows on the Space channel, which has been going downhill a bit lately. (Endless re-runs of Stargate and ... Castle??? Castle is a science fiction show?)

It's a BBC America production, filmed in Toronto, with a lot of Canadian actors. So, if you have BBC America, you might get it.

It's getting exiting, although there are few plot holes. Having grown up in a neighbourhood with a lot of immigrants, I find it hard to believe that Felix and Sarah would still have such strong English accents if they'd been brought to North America as children. Their gardian, yes, but kids lose their accents very quickly. Still, I suppose it's the only way to distinguish between a lot of characters played by just one actress.

We're watching it, but we're about 4 episodes behind.

I've tried to watch it, and I am a science fiction fan, but so far haven't been able to get into it. Dr. Who, however, I DO :)

I've been watching it, can't say I've become a loyal fan yet, we'll see.

Side note - what about the Dr Who finale! To quote a friend "holy crow-moly!"

I didn't like the season finale...the worst part is having to wait until November to see what happens next, talk about a cliff-hanger!
