Nature Under Constraint and Vexed

In this first episode of the second season of The Orphan Black Podcast I talk about the season 2 premier episode entitled Nature Under Constraint and Vexed. What a way to kick off the second season. After giving some news I dive right into the story. I talk about Sarah’s plight looking for Kira and Mrs. S. and the troubles she encounters along the way. I talk about Alison’s new, clean life and how her taking over the lead role in the local play after Ainsley’s death might affect her. I talk about the relationship between Cosima and Delphine. I discuss Paul’s role with the Dyad Institute and weather or not he’s helping Rachel. I speculate about what Rachel is up to with her dealings in various countries. And of course I talk about the return of Helena. I finish the episode with some great listener feedback.

I hope to hear from you now that season 2 has started. Join in the conversation by sending me your thoughts and theories.
