A few days ago, some friends finally got me to watch a Canadian scifi series called Orphan Black. I spent the following few days, when I wasn't working or asleep, watching ("marathoning" might be more accurate) the season and a half that is currently out ( Read more... )

Aww, I wanted to make that remake! Sam Raimi beat me to the punch!

(How did I not hear about this sooner?)
