Hair Today, Tony Tomorrow

I hate Tony’s hair. There, I said it. It’s awful It’s beyond awful. It’s The Awful. It’s the one thing on “Orphan Black” I feel has been a genuine misstep. Have I mentioned it’s awful. This is nothing against Tony, the new trans clone. I like the fella. But, Jesus Mary and Double Helix is that faux mullety thing on his head bad.

The introduction of a trans character on the show is yet another one of those twisty turny delights “Orphan Black” has offered up this season. (The best, by far, was Helena’s non-death.) But the enjoyment I could wrest from having practically the full LGBT spectrum covered on this show was tempered by THAT HAIR. Go ahead, call me superficial. I get that he is supposed to be sort of a shady, possibly Achey Breaky-loving sort. But that thing isn’t even a mullet. It’s a renaissance faire hairdo left unkempt in the rain for days.

Now – I know, I know – Tatiana Maslany can do many (many, many, many, many, many, many…how many clones are there now?) things, but making her luscious locks totally disappear is not one of them. I am aware the showrunners said it was too hard to give her a bald cap and fit all that hair under a short wig. But, come on, is there no way virtually ANY OTHER kind of hairstyle could have been chosen instead? Her hair fit under Rachel’s wig. Hell, we even SAW HER IN A BALD CAP earlier this season. It looked fine (well, sick, but fine.)



OK, OK – I will stop complaining. Not really. It was awful. I want the entire next episode to be dedicated to finding Tony a proper barber.
