Agreed this is how I like to watch TV too, in prolonged spurts. I did that with the first four seasons of Breaking Bad and season 5 is excruciating, I am wishing I could watch it all in a row like I did the first four seasons.

I recently read that there were "scheduling problems" for the second season with the actress that plays Vause. So basically she'll probably be back in future seasons. It doesn't seem like there are any issues with Prepon and the producers/writers or the cast.

I actually remembered that story from the bible. I remember thinking how weird the story was. God actually gets mad because some of the livestock was left alive as I remember correctly. There were lots of weird parts.

I think one of the strengths of the show is how it portray's the power structure. Inmates have no real control over most of their lives. The guards almost arbitrarily put inmates in positions and basically assign how other inmates see them.

Here is what I think. Healy will claim that he was going to get help and that Chapman was the aggressor. Healy will also get Vause sent away to another prison because of her previous interaction with Chapman. This is because the actress that plays Vause is going to be directing a movie of her own or something.
