Orphan Black started as a show on the brink of obscurity in its first season. Now that has all change after fans and viewers took to social media. The show became a phenomenon and gained critical success and fan enthusiasm worldwide. It also has become one of my top ten shows on TV. Today season 3 will appear and all of our predictions will probably be answered some time throughout the season. By the way, this piece will contain spoilers.
Kira
In the last two seasons, Sarah’s daughter has been the central plot point bringing in all the characters from their various locales and driving their motives. As a fan and reviewer, that has to stop. Kira can’t be used a plot point any longer. It just drags the show down and makes the show about kidnapping a wee too much. Rachel needs new motivations and Sarah needs something new to fight for.

Sarah
This new season will have Sarah doing something other than trying to find Kira. Now she has to find Helena. Hopefully, things will be different. Sarah will be hunting down Paul as she did in season two and she will be seeking revenge on Misses S for taking Helena. That will be one of the most interesting plotlines to watch.
Alison and Donnie
It is good to see that the two are back together and that their relationship has new life to it. However, they will have to answer for the death of Dr. Leekie at some point. That may mean that Alison’s family may become a target for Dyad; if Dyad is still at large this season.

Cosima, Delphine, and Felix
Cosima is still dealing with her illness and Delphine is still out of the picture. One can assume that Felix will get closer to Cosima because she is living with him. Hopefully, Felix is given more to do than just being a sidekick. Delphine will figure out a way to get in Cosima’s good graces by providing a cure, hopefully.
Everything Else
With the introduction of the new male clones, Mark and Grace will become vital this season. Also the Proletheans will be a force that Sarah and Art will hopefully have major issues with. They will be a source of drama this season.
This season Marion will be very central to Sarah and she may become her biggest villain. Marion will reveal her motives to be as sinister as Rachel’s or even worse. It is imperative for Sarah not to trust Marion.
In Misses S’ situation, she will be on the run and may have to reveal even more secrets to convince Sarah that Helena needed to be traded.

This season of Orphan Black will have all the potential to be the best one yet; fingers crossed.
