It might also be that in those instances she's the one that initiates it. She's got control.

**majesdane** · 04-12-2014, 08:25 PM

Yeah, that's probably really true.

She's like Rachel; she has to take control of the situation to feel comfortable.

Less Than Perfect · 04-12-2014, 08:34 PM

Yeah. Sarah would hate the comparison but it's true.

They just go about getting that control in different ways.

**majesdane** · 04-12-2014, 08:44 PM

Sarah would hate any comparison between her and any of the clones, lbr.

Like, her and Cosima are so alike, and yet ...

Less Than Perfect · 04-12-2014, 09:33 PM

True.

At least she and Cosima are on the same side.

**majesdane** · 04-12-2014, 09:46 PM

That's true.

Less Than Perfect · 04-12-2014, 09:53 PM

But yeah, any comparisons really bother her. Not even because she doesn't like them but because her individuality is so important to her. It's one of the few things she seems really passionate about during the season.

Which, again, ironically, seems to be a Rachel trait.

There's no escaping it.

I was just talking to my mom this morning about how, like, all of the clones are individuals, they're their own people, no doubt, but they really are SISTERS in a sense, because they all share some really defining traits. (Like my mom was saying how Rachel power trips, probably, as a way of protecting herself and Sarah does the same thing (protects herself), but she does it by running away. But in the end, they're the same.)*

* And Cosima and Alison have their own way of not dealing with stuff. Alison with her drinking and Cosima with only focusing on the science and trying to find the positives in everything. Even Beth had her pills. But in every case there's this strong desire to like, "shield" themselves from being hurt.

Less Than Perfect · 04-15-2014, 04:30 AM

Agreed. They may not have grown up together but there are definitely traits that all of them share.

Finally found this thread!

I love Sarah. She's my favourite clone. She's really my kind of gal and I am totally smitten with her.

Can't wait to see her again and see how she deals with all that's been thrown at her.

THAT sneak peek

*Lethe's Bramble* · 04-19-2014, 02:22 PM

I know right!

**majesdane** · 04-19-2014, 08:15 PM

Sarah was so ****ing amazing this episode!
