Two episodes of the third season of Orphan Black have prominent dream sequences, one of which is the first scene of the season. Stephanie’s friend Elizabeth joins Stephanie and Kris to talk about what they might all mean.

Stephanie is joined by her friends Elizabeth and Dave to talk about the Castor storyline, how it relates to other military/cloning stories, and whether or not they thought it worked.

Kris discusses the inclusion of Project Castor in the third season of Orphan Black with guest host Dawson, including how the show might be using it to comment on masculinity and patriarchy, and how the show portrays men and masculinity otherwise.

Supergirl made a reference to Orphan Black in their Thanksgiving episode, and that somehow turned into us making a list of TV shows that might appeal to Orphan Black fans. Because it’s difficult to cope with hiatus madness.

We discuss Denise the cat (and Denise’s human, Scott) with our guest Annie, who happens to be the co-host of our other podcasts. Also, Stephanie gets an exclusive interview with Denise!

A new character for the third season of Orphan Black, Shay has become a surprisingly divisive subject. We discuss what we know about her, her relationship with Cosima, and what we think might happen next season.

We talk to Valoise Armstrong, an archivist from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, about the source of Orphan Black’s season three episode titles, Eisenhower’s Farewell Address.

Marci Coates is Alison’s third season nemesis. We discuss her role in the storyline, whether or not we think she’ll return, and how much we like Amanda Brugel.

We share a panel from Dragon Con 2015 in which Kris was a panelist. The panel discusses Dollhouse and Orphan Black, including clones, programming, and what makes a person.

Kris takes part in an Orphan Black podcasters’ roundtable about Season 3 with a little bit of speculation about Season 4 as well. Thank you to Kevin Bachelder from Tuning in to SciFi TV for moderating the panel.
