I agree with this post! Especially that it gets stronger as it goes; I wasn't actually grabbed until prett late in the season, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
It's sad that I never even absorbed how critical Katja's role is in the clone revelation story. You're right, all of that credit kind of goes to Beth, somehow. Although I also admit that I thought Katja was one of the more stereotypical portrayals of the clones, where hair and makeup and accent were trying to do too much characterization work? But I suppose that's also because she didn't really get much time to become more than that.
I dislike the idea of Siobahn having been spying on/using Sarah all this time, but I have a suspicion there might end up being something solid behind that
Me too. I'm still holding out that it's something more like her being rogue from very early on and out on her own side and Kira's side. I don't know why, but I am hugely invested in her not screwing over Sarah. I think because their prickly relationship gradually became one of my favorites, and the "reveal" of her and Sarah's backstory, that she was part of an underground network rescuing and protecting kids, that Sarah was one of those kids, and all the actions she took to protect Sarah, were all really significant to me as part of the show and I'd hate if they now become a lie. :(
Oh wow, I never had any suspicion that they were trying to say Amelia was the actual biological mother of Sarah and Helena. I just assumed that she carried the babies, but they were genetically not hers.
