Doctor Who took us to the centre of the TARDIS this week, as it got pulled on to a salvage vessel. The Doctor had to trick the three salvage workers into helping him look for, and eventually find Clara. The episode was very Clara-centric following her on a journey through a parallel TARDIS, including a stop at the library where she poked through a book, and may have seen the answer to "The Question." The Doctor saved the TARDIS by throwing them back in time to re-live the day and fix the tear.
The Doctor let her in on part of a secret; that she was the girl who died twice. He didn't know how that happened; he didn't know who she was. It's still this question hanging out there; the one that guides this season. And the Doctor is for once as clueless as we are, and figuring it out as we are. My money's still on her being some kind of family; a daughter or grand-daughter maybe. A little sound advice from the Doctor: "Don't get into a space ship with a mad man, didn't anyone ever tell you that?" Does anyone think Clara might end up remembering what she read?
Orphan Black focused on Paul this week. Did he have anything to do with the clones? Did his place of work? Sarah ended up spying on Paul putting listening devices in his offices and overheard him meeting one of his co-workers. Sarah also got time with her daughter walking her home and spending time with her. She tried to get some answers on her past from Mrs. S. I still haven't figured out if she had anything to do with it; if she's good or bad.
The part that left me cursing was the ending. Paul confronted Sarah; admitting he was there when doctors told Beth she couldn't have children. And if she couldn't have kids then who was Sarah? Before she answered the ending credits played. It was the ultimate cliffhanger. Will Sarah talk her way out of this one? Or will she tell the truth, playing on their growing relationship?
In other Orphan Black news: it's been renewed for a second season.
