This list will be by necessity influenced by the problems I had with season 2 and thus go under a spoiler cut.



1.) A better connection between different storylines. One of the drawbacks of s2 was that many of them were pretty isolated from each other.

2.) On that note: more scenes between the clones. I can understand this is hard on Tatiana Maslany because any actor prefers playing off another actor as opposed to the green screen, but the relationships between the clones is what I'm most invested in, other than Felix & anyone.

3.) Development for Sarah. She's become a static character in s2, and since she's actually the lynchpin of the eshow, this wasn't good.

4.) More Art. Now he knows various clones and Felix. Work with that, show!

5.) I hope Mark's actor is up for the clone versatility, because the Maslany standard is incredibly high.

6.) Marion as a morally ambiguous villain, Mrs. S. as a morally ambiguos heroine. I think I'll get both of these, btw.

7.) If we need to cut the grown ensemble of characters down, I volunteer Paul. Seriously: at this point, there is no narrative necessity for him whatsoever.

9.) Alison's comic relief and suburban satire scenes are wonderful, but I'd like for her to get some drama stuff, too, please.

10.) No more evil fundamentalists.

I am very much looking forward to Mrs S and Marion Bowles. I think a lot of the things you list here come under "integration of plot lines": Alison needed to be part of the main action and not just the Leakey killing, Sarah needs to be part of other people's storylines and have some kind of kickback for talking a big game about family but actually dumping her sisters in favour of her core family (Kira, Felix, Mrs S) at a moment's notice. But one thing I liked about S2 was Felix having a relationship with the various clones, so I don't mind that part too much!

Oh, and more Art, please!

playing off another actor as opposed to the green screen

She doesn't have to play off the green screen -- meet Kathryn Alexandre.

This is indeed a good list!

(and there's no green screen on the show, it's all body-doubles or puppeted points of contact. Which just makes it more amazing imo.)
