When I retired this podcast in 2017, I never thought that one day, the opportunity would arise to bring it back. But here we are in 2024 with a new series, Orphan Black Echoes, that follows fifty years after the original series.

What an amazing beginning to this new series. And if it’s anything like the original, we’re in for a wild ride.

If you were part of the original Clone Club here at Solo Talk Media, welcome back. And if you’re new to this podcast, I hope you enjoy your stay and maybe even participate. I do this for you, after all.

Welcome to the Orphan Black Echoes Double Take, where I give you my first impressions right after seeing the Orphan Black Echoes premiere episode titled “Pilot.” I’m creating these short posts to encourage listener feedback by asking questions about the episode.

The feedback deadline is Tuesday at 9 AM Eastern Time.

This week’s questions are…

1) If Lucy was printed from a high-resolution scan. Who was the original that was scanned?

2) Is Orphan Black a series you would rewatch in the future?

3) Is Lucy defective–Was she supposed to have a memory?

Send me your thoughts about these questions or any other part of this latest episode of Orphan Black.

Listen to the first episode of Orphan Black: The Next Chapter and emerge yourself back into the world of Clone Club. Starring Emmy award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany, Realm presents the official continuation of the hit TV series Orphan Black. Episodes drop every Friday with season 2 scheduled for release in the fall of 2021.

Since their victory against Project Leda eight years ago, the original sestras—Sarah, Alison, Cosima, and those they love have been free to live quiet, anonymous lives. But that anonymity comes at a cost: Cosima is unable to pursue the cutting-edge science that saved her life; Sarah’s daughter Kira is suffocated by her mother’s insistence on secrecy; and Charlotte, the youngest Leda clone, questions why her family gets to survive while other, unaware clones get sick and die. 

Everything changes when Vivi Valdez, a CIA Agent, discovers she, too, is a clone—and goes rogue. Vivi’s pursuit of the truth brings chaos to the original Clone Club when one of them is accused of murder. To prove their innocence, they must step out of the shadows and publicly claim the secret they’ve sacrificed everything to protect. Family ties will be tested, long-lasting alliances betrayed, and the future of all clones hangs in the balance.

Thank you for listening to The Orphan Black Podcast. Whether you are a long-time listener or you are new to the podcast I want to send you a heart-felt thank you for being part of my very own personal Clone Club. You will never know how much it means to me.

This is possibly the very last episode of this podcast. I hope you tune into my other podcasts for The Expanse and Killjoys but I understand that those shows are not for everyone. If this is the end of our time together I want to take the opportunity to wish you all the best with the rest of your life. But keep an eye, or should I say an ear out, because the showrunners hinted at a possible future return to the Orphan Black universe. Should that happen I can guarantee I will be here and I would love to have you back.

What an amazing end to this wonderful series. I can’t think of any other show that has done it so beautifully. Sure there are a few things we are left pondering about but overall, it was an extremely satisfying ending. Don’t just take my word on it. Listen to the 25 listeners who submitted feedback for this final episode.

Thank you to everyone involved with Orphan Black for giving me this great show to podcast about. You will forever be remembered as the TV Show that birthed Solo Talk Media.

Welcome back, everyone. I am so happy that you’ve joined me to discuss the fifth and final season of Orphan Black.

This week I talk about “One Fettered Slave”, the ninth episode of season 5.

This was a great episode. I wasn’t expecting Helena’s backstory but I’m so happy to have seen it. It makes us sympathise even more with her character. Neolution is collapsing and by the looks of it P.T. Westmorland is at death’s door if he doesn’t get his “cure” soon.

There is so much great discussion by my fantastic listeners this week. Be sure to listen to the whole episode.
