Happy New Year, Todd!
Likewise to you and everyone, George. May it be so.
Thank for including me in your roundups Todd - happy new year chum.
We started into ORPHAN BLACK and found it just too implausible and weird. Another actor in the lead(s) might have made a difference, too. A recent film about cloning that holds together better and will both sadden and creep you out is NEVER LET ME GO.
HNY back at you, Sergio!
Sorry you didn't much care for it, Ron, though ORPHAN BLACK does improve as it goes along...a film version of such work, that the novelist Ishiguro might've drawn upon for NEVER LET ME GO, as Kate Wilhelm's WHERE LATE THE SWEET BIRDS SANG or Pamela Sargent's CLONED LIVES wouldn't be unwelcome...
