AMC's 'Orphan Black: Echoes' shares the same universe as the Canadian hit show 'Orphan Black'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: AMC's newest science fiction series, 'Orphan Black: Echoes,' shares the same universe as Canada's mega popular show 'Orphan Black,' and features a character who appears in both series.
Anna Fishko's show chronicles the adventures of a clone on a quest to discover the truth about her real identity.
In the pilot episode, we are introduced to Kira Manning (Keeley Hawes), who is introduced as the scientist and director of the Additive Foundation, which is responsible for the priniting of human clones and organs.
If you were a fan of the old 'Orphan Black', you would be aware that Kira is none other than the daughter of the show's protagonist, Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany).
What is the unique skills Kira Manning possesses?
Kira Manning's character in the Canadian drama was portrayed by Skyler Wexler and she was portrayed as a miracle child since the Leda clones were meant to be sterile.
Sarah, the clone, defies this notion by giving birth to Kira, the clone's only known biological child.
This quickly distinguishes Kira as a target for Dyad, the firm that was the driving force behind the cloning efforts. Throughout the series, Kira is seen having an unusual connection to her mother and aunts, the other Leda clones.
This emerges as a'sixth sense' in which she may detect their presence or emotions, similar to twins.
She even gets prophetic dreams that predict future occurrences, which often attracts the attention of the show's antagonists.
How will Kira Manning's unique ability be explored in 'Orphan Black: Echoes'?
By focusing on Kira Manning's unique skills, 'Orphan Black: Echoes' may bridge the gaps between the original series and the new spin-off.
There could be many intriguing and memorable methods to analyse Kira's psychic link and her prophetic dreams, which may aid Lucy (Krysten Ritter), who is determined to learn the truth about her history.
Kira may be able to establish a psychic connection with Lucy that will allow her to communicate telepathically or share memories with her.
In the series, Kira's prophetic dreams could be explored further, as they can provide cryptic clues or warnings about what's ahead, enabling her to anticipate danger, respond appropriately, or disclose information.
If she chooses to side with Lucy, it might be essential for her to go against the antagonists.
Overall, Kira' struggles are shown in the show's two episodes and the reasons behind them still remain undisclosed.
Considering Kira's unusual past and the new show's focus on cutting-edge technology, it would be intriguing to discover how Kira uses her unique abilities.
