Paul's final line to Sarah, "it was never Beth that I loved." has haunted me. Even assuming that he was infiltrating Dyad for the military, the idea that he attempted to make a woman love him enough for him to surveil every aspect of her life is even creepier (to me) than what Rachel did to him when they were having sex (and seeing that footage has scarred me). But I kinda need to know why Beth was important enough for such a hottie (because anyone who doesn't recognize that BDP made Fee swoon probably doesn't have a pulse) to become her monitor.... (And yeah, I'd totally be in for hours and hours of Katja and Jennifer footage, plot-based or not. I just worry that randomly following Tatiana with a camera would be weird...). |

Their mothers were deceived into carrying children they believed to have been their biological kids, which triggers so many aspects of Animal Farm and other literary tropes that it's ridiculous that they've packed so many horrors into a single bag, but can you even imagine being a mother, who only wanted a child, who was impregnated without knowledge with the human equivalent of a lab rat?!? As a result, all of the monitors over the years (presumably their parents were their first monitors) simply added up into the Pauls and the Donnies and the Delphines.... And almost all of them presumably thought they had good motives for being with them (although, in Krystal's case, we definitely got told that her monitors were changed out at a regular enough rate that she noticed that they weren't always into being with her so much as that they seemed to have a contract...) that we can't doubt that any of them (except Paul) were mostly natural or merely there out of mutual love.... And yeah, that makes me want to know how Beth met Alison and Cosima for the first time. It also makes me want to know why she didn't identify with them as her sisters enough for that shared misery to have become comfort. _________________________ Not related but news I want to share about the importance of body image: http://www.elle.com/culture/movies-t...ck-body-image/ My very favorite quote was this: Quote:

Donnie didn't get recruited before he was with Alison. At least that's my understanding of it and that's why he was so mad when he found out what he'd been used for. He had no idea, poor naive dummy. That doesn't excuse the lying but he really thought it was harmless. Delphine started out lying to Cosima to get close to her, sure, but it seems out of concern. Leakie told her the clones were in danger. Paul was just some jerky spy jerk on a mission to save the Castor a-holes and used Beth to get what he wanted. Then he falls in love with Sarah and kinda helps (to his own gain) and that's supposed to make it all better? I'm curious to see more about Beth but I wish they hadn't brought him back. Dylan Bruce seems like a nice guy who loves the show but his acting is just not on par with the rest of the cast and I haven't missed Paul. Quote:

show is probably not going to live to see a season 5 if ratings don't go up. 401 was the series absolute low, scoring a horrific 0.1 in the demo and only 230k viewers.

Having been the mod for a show that's been on the bubble for 7 seasons, let me tell you, sometimes ratings are not the whole picture.
When's the last time anyone mentioned BBCA in an article about tv? They're getting more press and awards than ever before. I don't think the ratings are vital. They should probably switch back to Saturdays though. __________________

The ratings might've been low but apparently they were tracking really well on the social media.
Thursday nights are tough and quite honestly it really didn't seem like they did much promotion for the general public. Heck, even the fandom thought it was really slow. Then that article that came out a couple of days before the premiere definitely did not help them. |

ratings this low? yes, they are. it's 57% down from last year. that means half of its audience is gone. and it is a season premiere where ratings are usually the highest.

at the end of the day, it is not a fresh show anymore and its nearing its conclusion, anyway. thanks to its prestige, BBCA is likely going to give OB a 5th and final season to wrap it up, regardless of how bad the ratings get. __________________

So, I see the ratings plummet as a plus if it helps put this show to bed on time. To me, it also increases the chances of Evelyne Brochu appearing in Season 5 (though if Delphine is alive, there is probably already some sort of understanding in place for S5). It's easier to get someone to commit to the final season of something than it is to get them to appear in an unending wave of crappy seasons. Finish it. It's best for everyone. |
