Idk... If I was to become a male... I would keep my leg hair. Tony's legs were all shiny and everything. Weird xD
I miss Helena in the ep, and also I found myself skipping all Allison shit... her storyline is boring and she's naive as fuck -.-

@Bmvc1 it is because a cis actor playing a trans character is inherently problematic, i didn't say they had to do that, the character could have been a cis female. but anyways i have said they did it well

@meerareed It's not problematic at all and they could not have made the character genetic male because it would not be believable.

@baratheons If you're referring to my comment, I know, there's no way they could have gotten around that unless they thought of that before casting Tatiana. But it's still problematic itself and they could've not made the character trans, but like I said I thought they handled it well :)

There's no other creature in the world who's going to impress me more than Tatiana Maslany.

About the cis actor playing a trans character, well, I don't see how they could have done it differently. He's a clone. If he didn't look like Sarah, Beth, etc. (so if he wasn't played by Tatiana Maslany), it would be kinda illogic.

(SPOILERS) Not sure how I feel about a cis actor playing someone trans, but I think they handled it very well and made the purpose of his character about his information about Paul and Beth instead of his gender identity. Also if Cosima isn't okay I'm rioting

It's really hard liking a show this good. Honest to God. The waiting between the episodes drives me nuts! This is sincerely one of the very best TV shows I've ever watched and definitely my favorite today!
