CATCH OF THE DAY: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World may have inspired many parallels in Orphan Black, but the connections don’t stop there. Huxley, in addition to being a foundational figure for dystopian literature, was also a poet. In 1920, he published a collection of poems titled Leda. Yes, that’s right, the massive overarching Orphan Black origin project mystery not only shares a name with the Greek myth of Leda, but Huxley’s poetry as well. And it’s a beautiful connection.

ORPHAN BLACK: It shouldn’t be shocking that the writers of Orphan Black decided to insert a few nods to Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World in their new sci-fi thriller drama that has taken the Internet and social media scene by storm. But, what might be shocking is just how deep these parallels run and how many of them you may have missed—even if you’re on your fifth re-watch.
