I know OITNB pays attention to that kind of commentary/stories and uses them, ahem, liberally. I'm glad they did, though it would be nice if they acknowledged it.

So sad because people DO things like that these days. Everyone's on the tiniest fuselet.

Not since Latka Gravas have I seen. I am so happy for them. I feel like he sees classic Carol Kane sweetness in her, and he brings it out. Makes me so happy. Now peel me like a grape so I can get outta here.

I honestly think you're supposed to feel weirded out about the gun. I think that's the weird dark carnival thing they were going for. At least, that's what a lot of us seem to have gotten out of it.

I feel like the point of it was both fanservice and the drama of "who's going to grab/fire the gun (perhaps by mistake)/piss off Angie and live to regret it"? Which I thought was interesting because they never shot it like we were supposed to be thinking about that. There were no camera shots of the gun starting to…

The first couple of episodes, the ones that stayed close to the book's premise (and the theme song, and the name of the show)… the privileged white girl getting a big dose of the real world… those were, I think, dark and gritty and scary and put us through the wringer. I feel like the show visited that beautiful…

I disagree, actually. I think the writers were self-awarely cleverly getting them 99% of the way toward one of those surprisingly touching bonding scenes, but instead the twist is that they don't, and it goes back to hate, and how funny is it that they were so close to some kind of breakthrough and will never know. …

"The Worst Salamis In London"…

THANK you.

I really don't think that was the joke. I think she was just observing the nail biting tension. I don't think it was super well written…

The music!! It was classic Twilight Zone, more so than usual. So much respect.

Tell your brain to stop beating a dead horse. Hay, don't get hoofy, I know I should have posted a Trigger warning.

FWIW, I've watched the first three and mostly really enjoyed them, and I think I liked them better because I didn't expect the riot to be over. I think if I hadn't been spoiled, I might be a little frustrated that the riot was stretching out this long. We can never un-know.

Hi, I have a habit of showing up in comments sections weeks or months too late to get any upvotes or anyone even clicking through long enough to see whatever latest thing I have noticed, which may or may not be obvious. (I need an acronym for this, but anyway.) In today's chapter: OMG did everyone get it?? A…

I looked into this and was fascinated to learn that the real Piper is the one who blinks. I bet it isn't old news to everyone, so:

Love the song, except for the way the first few words are sung… make it past that, and we're golden. But the visuals are boring and I don't understand why they don't change them for the new season.

Aaa! It's a Moses joke! I didn't get it! Adopted and hidden! And she's going to maybe help get the people to freedom!

It's almost as bad as 21 Year Old Linda's wig!

Or she'll just get fired, or really sent to prison, for participating in this embarrassing mess. The idea that she could ever go back to Purchasing after this seems extremely unlikely.

Yes! There are a bunch of ways this could happen.
