Orphan Black - Season 3, Episode 08: Ruthless in Purpose, and Insidious in Method
Trailer
An orphan gets caught up in a deadly conspiracy after learning that she is a clone. Just as Sarah and her clone sisters were beginning to piece together the complex conspiracy behind the shadowy Dyad Institute, the discovery of Project Castor – a top-secret military project producing highly-trained male clones – throws their lives back into turmoil.
Is it just me, or is Delphine a little more... cutthroat this season? It's not that I don't like it, she's just become very intense very fast. No one get in her way, she might just steamroll you right over.
"Ruthless in Purpose" indicates that Orphan Black is now content to use the characters to churn through whatever twists the series has left, with little regard for the ideology, much less the psychology, behind their actions: an insidious method indeed
Orphan Black is finally worthy of the talent of Tatiana Maslany and there is no reason for this show to not start receiving a shower of critical accolades. The first two seasons were rocky and the story often fell short. That is no longer true.
Despite the stakes involved, Rachel's actual escape from Dyad is a really enjoyable scene as Scott's board game buddies excitedly get involved in the operation.
More than anything, the sheer weight of all the lies, trauma, and paranoia come crashing down on everyone right when they need to know who they can trust.
This week was a progressive episode in terms of dealing with a lot of the trust issues that revolved around certain characters, while managing to push the story a little further with the semi translation of the book.
