Rare black returned for season 2 today evening with a big shocker, and when to see then you still might not want to read further. [SPOILER ALERT: read on only if you've already seen 2 Saturday premiere of orphan black season.]
It's Baaaaaaaaaack! That's right, Ukrainian clone/clone killer Helena as was dead after getting shot by Sarah in last year's final and left in a pool of her own blood to die. But surprise! She is alive, and that was just one of the twists and turns. Sarah imitated Rachel to set the smackdown Cosima and Alison got musical Aynsleys role in the local community. (Who says straight your beast throttle over a garbage disposal its benefits have not?) We talked with star Tatiana Maslany, to get their thoughts on the big premiere of episode.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First thing I need to know: it is difficult to take seriously Jordan Gavaris, wearing assless chaps?
TATIANA MASLANY: I feel like it is more difficult, it seriously laughs [to] take if he wears not assless chaps! I his ass see more when I see his ass in the pants, I think I. That's Felix in its natural state.
EW: I'm a big fan of Alison, perhaps because she reminds me of my own sister. Are this community theatre scenes how much fun?
MASLANY: Oh, my God, it was crazy. Absolutely crazy! It was like my dreams and Alison's dreams come true. And also with Alison at the beginning of the season what, throw them in the spotlight - literally - and they place on the stage in front of all those people know it and who knew Aynsley - just perfect, it's fun. It is so much fun. A moment is that their dreams true and in the same moment is fully revealed as the worst parts of themselves. So, her bow for the season is really fun.
EW: there is another scene, where mimics another clone playing a clone. This time it is when Sarah as Cosima in the dyad is party to get. These are the toughest scenes for you to play?
MASLANY: Yes, that was the first thing we've done for a long time and it was really hard work. I don't know why my brain unable to clone impersonation thing could wrap. Because I don't know what it was, it felt excellent just all very in a way. But these scenes so much fun for me, but also I feel times are at the game or what could go also ever so wrong. Where could it really fall on his face. I think that's when I feel me in the most precarious - when Sarah Alison plays or if Sarah Cosima, or what ever plays. It is the time when I feel the most threatened me. It is kind of interesting.
EW: I think you need to calibrate it. I can not imagine your process for this.
MASLANY: It is super fun. It was fun to play, but there is little level. It is somehow add a bit of a slip here or better for this type of leave to come through or conceal it.
EW: in this scene later, you in as Sarah and Rachel to clap and jump on it. Do you have anything in your arms, do double Katherine?
MASLANY: I do a couple of Katherine and some that I absolutely can't do anything - like, tennis balls, which somehow popping in context, as I move forward or whatever. It was a pretty intense scene. It is a part of where I'm hitting Rachel without an arm. Because I could not use my arm because it wanted to be Katherine's arm. So, I had to do it without actual arm to make the gesture. It was very bizarre. It was a strange day.

MASLANY: Absolutely, absolutely. I'd so the end was sad. She is an absolute riot. I love her. I love it, she is so much fun, she is a total Monster. Exist somehow in this other world of all the other clones, somehow in increased reality almost, so it is really fun to play. All their impulses are really basic and really childish but really violent and it's really fun to play this duality. I love her. Each scene that, give it to me for them is only stimulating. I don't know where you're going to go or what are the things to come. It's fun to play from this place.
EW: Was the first, what I saw when I visited you on the set, in the Helena wig and makeup and I was like, what the...? So you also knew she was dead and were lying through your teeth, only if people like I asked?
MASLANY: I knew. We were all cops ing the whole time. [laughs] The larger challenge of acting made interviews. "Oh, I Miss Helena really..."
EW: You did a good job of selling, and I'm sure that the people now people freak out are.
MASLANY: awesome. That's what we strive for.
