Podcasts Where Fandom & Analysis Meet for a Drink
Orphan Black presents several forms of mothers – none of which is particularly stereotypical. Kris and Stephanie talk about these depictions of motherhood and why it’s the narrative (hot) glue that holds the first season together.
Donnie, Paul, and Delphine have been tasked with keeping tabs on the clone club. Kris and Stephanie talk about the monitors’ ambiguity, their possible motivations, and why Donnie is a much better employee than either Paul or Delphine.
Simultaneously terrifying villain and tragic victim, Helena is the wild card of Orphan Black’s first season. Kris and Stephanie discuss what sets her apart from the other clones, as well as her well-executed story arc and interactions with other characters.
Arguably the most attractive clone (according to Felix and Sarah), Cosima is Clone Club’s resident scientist. Her interest in their origins is both personal and intellectual. Kris and Stephanie talk about all these things as well as how her character is revealed through her relationship with Delphine.
A fan favorite, Alison Hendrix has had her world turned upside-down by the discovery that she’s a clone (but don’t use the c-word!). Kris and Stephanie discuss Alison’s status as a suburban soccer mom, her paranoia and impulsiveness (and why they’re a bad combination), and her relationships.
Even though he’s her younger brother, Felix is perhaps the most reliable person in Sarah’s life as her confidant, safety net, and partner in crime, and that relationship becomes even more important when Sarah finds out she’s a clone. Kris and Stephanie talk about Felix’s importance to Sarah, the other clones, and pop culture.
Throughout the first season, Sarah changes from a transient con artist looking out only for herself, her daughter, and Felix to the lynchpin of Clone Club. Kris and Stephanie discuss Sarah as an antihero as well as her story arc and relationships with family.
Welcome to Tatiana Is Everyone, an Orphan Black podcast! In this introductory episode, Kris and Stephanie talk about how they became Orphan Black fans and what they have planned for the podcast.
