Orphan Black season 4 premieres in exactly one week, and you’re not going to believe how many emotions you’ll be feeling when it does.
I love Orphan Black. You can ask any of my Hypable co-workers and they will tell you that they’ve each been ordered by me to watch it because it’s so fantastic — and most of them listened!
When I got the chance to check out Orphan Black‘s season 4 premiere I was very excited — but there was a problem: The creators of the show, John Fawcett and Graeme Manson, are so adamant about not wanting to spoil anything that they don’t want a single plot point revealed in any reviews that post before the premiere, and after seeing it I totally understand why.
As a fellow clone club member, though, I felt it would be a disservice to see the episode and not express to the entirety of the fandom how epic it is. I may not be able to give you any tips on what the episode contains, but I can get you excited for it!
So instead of a review, I’ve listed 13 emotions that you’re guaranteed to feel while watching the Orphan Black season 4 premiere next week. You won’t know the reasons but trust me: You will feel all the things.
Tip: These emotions are in random order so don’t think you can figure out the events of the episode by the list, you clever geek monkeys.
You’re going to cry
But then you’re going to get so friggin’ excited
You’re almost going to pass out from pure shock
You’ll have time to recuperate with vast amounts of wonder
In that time you will also squeal about a hundred times
You’ll think, ‘Finally!’
And most certainly, ‘holy shit’
You’ll get confused
And when you think you’ve understood it, you’ll second-guess yourself
You’re gunna get real thirsty
After everything you’re going to need to lay down and think about what just happened
You’ll feel happy. Ecstatic, even.
In the end, you’re going to fall in love with ‘Orphan Black’ all over again
I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is by far the best episode of Orphan Black since the season 1 premiere. If you think Orphan Black was good before, this will blow. Your. Mind.
Can’t wait to watch? BBC America released the first four minutes of the first episode today:
