Orphan Black Gets A Little Farce-y

Yeah, yeah, I know, farcical.  Anyway, just once I'd like to see one of these badass dudes who are not regular characters on the show not be complete fucking idiots and pussies when accosted by the big bad scary plot hole trope villains.  Siobhan's friend would have been a whole hell of a lot more interesting if he had dispatched the Dyad clowns, as he surely would have in a more realistic story, after a lifetime of being a professional, street-level motherfucker, and Lacroix gets his throat cut without a fight in his car after a lifetime of being a professional street-level motherfuck as well--all the while a blood-soaked Helena is chopping up drug dealers and hit men in broad daylight on a busy street because it's funny.  Meh.  It's really fucking dumb in addition to being careless, boring writing and excruciatingly lazy story-telling.  (Paging Ronald D. Moore!)  I was really hoping for more of tense, PKDian type deal instead of every third person on the Earth being a clone, clone creator, or clone relation.  That's just silly.  After all, these clones and clone creators would be the most paranoid fellers in human history.  What they did is illegal and considered horrible and immoral in most of the USA and Canada, yet they work in the military and biotech pretty much in full view of anyone paying even a scant bit of attention.  What's working on the show is the performances they're getting from the C-list Canadian tee vee ensemble, all pretty fun.  Looks like the show could have been so much more, but that's that.
