What Your ‘Orphan Black’ Crush Says About You

Star Tatiana Maslany is always entertaining, and “Orphan Black” was just renewed for its fifth and final season.

ORPHAN BLACK in 4 minutes

***Minor Spoilers Ahead***

Without giving too much away, “Orphan Black’”follows Sarah Manning (Maslany) and her quest to uncover her past as a human experiment in genetics.

There has been an ongoing race to improve humanity via genetic manipulation. Two camps have emerged on how best to do that: gene therapy involving robots and cloning.

Sarah is part of the Project Leda clone line (all women). The Project Castor line exists for military use.

However, both clone lines face terminal illness and are racing to find a cure. Sarah Manning and her “sisters” are learning to work together to find the cure and uncover the secret group behind the experiments.

“Orphan Black” takes itself less seriously than BBC’s other sci-fi drama, “Humans.” Maslany and co. still pose interesting science fiction questions like, “Are we okay with human cloning and genetic manipulation and therapy in newborns?”

Tatiana Maslany on Playing Multiple Characters in Orphan Black

I’ve come to realize out of all the show’s clones, I’m most attracted to Helena. That made me wonder how other viewers connect with the crush of clones.

To put it bluntly, what does your Orphan Black crush say about you?

Your Orphan Black crush is…

Sarah Manning — Loyal, tough, smart, a leader who can be dangerous and unpredictable.
