My Saturday with Space: April 20, 2013

This week's episode found Doctor Who and Clara in 1974 at a haunted castle with a former W.W. II spy- Alec Palmer (Dougray Scott)  and an empathic psychic Emma Grayling (Jessica Raine).  "Help me," the ghost cried.  The Doctor gleefully took to ghost hunting sneaking off with Clara to catch sight of her.  The ghost however turned out to be a time traveller trapped in a pocket universe; Doctor Who and the TARDIS to the rescue! 

The Doctor continuously tried to push Palmer and Emma together.   "Blood calls to blood," he says explaining the connection between Emma and the time traveller a woman who ends up being revealed as the couple's multiple great granddaughter.   "Am I a ghost to you?" Clara asks the Doctor.  "You are the only mystery worth solving," he answers her.  Maybe there's a familial relationship between the Doctor and Clara? She's his great... etc. granddaughter.  It would explain the "twice dead" idea, and the fact he always seems to find her.  The Doctor as a father... hilarious.

Orphan Black was sinister.  It put Sarah/Beth firmly in a killer's sights this as she and her partner raced to solve a murder.   The killer; a religious zealot was sent to kill the orphans viewing them as abominations.  It took another turn as the innocent Beth was accused of killed turned out to be attached to the killer. 

The episode put Sarah's relationship with her daughter Kira in jeopardy as she missed another chance at spending time with her daughter.  However, Alison stepped in, complete with a fake British accent.  Kira saw right through it saying right out, but Mrs. "S" didn't. 

This show continues to puzzle me, and I have no theories yet as to who might be involved.  But I love it that way, and it makes me want tune in every week and unravel  the mystery.
