That's fair. For me, I've always been fascinated by Rachel as a character, especially in relation to the other clones. So while I agree that she is irredeemable at this point she will eventually get her comeuppance (something I'm looking forward in seeing) I'm still intrigued with the way she has operated things. It doesn't mean I condone her actions, just that her character has a lot of complexities which make up who she is and that's why I like and am fascinated with her as a whole.

I do think they have the cure again, don't they? With what Delphine had in her hands near the end? So that means they can hopefully save Cosima? I hope?

Yes. Rachel was the one who just got the baseline, but Cosima got the cure since that is what she went back for when Charlotte was coming to get her, and Delphine mentioned that they shouldn't say anything to anyone in that camp about it. But I'm definitely sure that she'll get cured. Charlotte, too, hopefully.

And at some point it's good to just call it quits. Especially with shows like this. You don't want to drag it on and have it make no sense anymore.

Exactly. It's happened with plenty of shows and it becomes kind of a chore to continue on, and you can tell where they've run out of ideas since they stop making sense and just are running on fumes to try and keep viewership, and unfortunately that leads many shows to go out on a whimper rather than a high note. Orphan Black has always been smart, not just with their writing and moving forward with the plot, but also with the way they handle the structure of the show and keeping in line with the story they've wanted to tell. I think they even mentioned that they planned on having material for five seasons, so them stopping exactly when they wanted to makes me happy.
