Tatiana Is Everyone | An Orphan Black Podcast

Michael Gilkey, the Marketing and Operations Manager for both the National Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, discussed stem cell research and treatments in a panel at Dragon Con 2014. Michael talks about the different types of stem cells being used for treatments, progress that has been made in stem cell research, as well as why stem cells are so controversial.

Kris and Stephanie are joined by their friend (and Drinks at The Dal co-host) Annie to recap their experiences with clone club at Dragon Con 2014. While no one involved with the show was present, Orphan Black was still well represented with plenty of cosplayers and two fan panels dedicated to the show. We'd love to hear your thoughts with us about this content. Call us at 972-514-7223 or send us a voice message.

We continue our discussion of LGBT representation in Season 2 of Orphan Black with guest contributor Dawson. We talk about Cosima asserting that her sexuality isn't the most important thing about her, Felix's fun but disastrous love life, as well as what we imagine Sarah's experience with same-sex attraction might be.

A new clone, Tony Sawicki, was introduced in the second season of Orphan Black. Kris and Stephanie are joined by guest contributor Dawson, geekdawson, to talk about Tony and how meaningful it is to have a trans character on television. Share your thoughts about Tony by sending us a voice message or calling us at 972-514-7223. Trans stories are important, Tony’s especially -- “Tony was a character I didn’t know I needed” (Tony’s special place in the hearts of trans men) The question of a cis woman playing a trans man -- should they have hired a trans actor? Tony’s hair, a question of passing, and Tatiana’s performance Tony’s sexuality is a pretty interesting question. We don’t know how he identifies, but he’s clearly not straight. Do we think Sammy was romantically involved with Tony? “Male clones” vs. “Castor clones”

Kris and Stephanie catch up on feedback from the end of season 2 -- including further questions, favorite moments, and some additional bits of information. We also have a report from someone who went to some Orphan Black events at San Diego Comic Con! We'd love to hear your thoughts with us about this content. Call us at 972-514-7223 or send us a voice message.

Orphan Black had quite a presence at San Diego Comic Con and its surrounding events in 2014, including the first official Clone Club meetup! Kris and Stephanie didn't get to attend, but talk about what we were able to experience through the internet.

Josh Vokey's character Scott, Cosima's lab monkey turned close friend, really came into his own during the second season and has become quite a fan favorite. We were excited to get to talk to Josh about Scott's relationship with Cosima and Scott's endearing awkwardness. Send us a voice message or call us at 972-514-7223. Questions Discussed Include: How did you get involved in Orphan Black? What was your audition process like? Did you know when you got the part that Scott would be a recurring character? We don’t know much about Scott’s background yet. What do you imagine his background to be like?  When season 2 started, did you know your role would expand the way it did? Were you excited to come to Dyad? Do you share any of Scott's interest in science? How has playing Scott shaped your opinion about the ethics of scientific research? In the Season 2 finale, you got to be in a scene with Sarah and Rachel. Were you excited to get to work with different clones besides Cosima?

Now that Season 2 of Orphan Black has concluded, certain moments really stick out as funny, significant, or poignant as we reflect on the season. We discuss some of our favorite moments from Season 2. These lists are in no way exhaustive nor ranked. (We had to limit ourselves somehow otherwise we’d be talking for hours!)
