I have heard tell of a powerful magic known by people of your tribe as . . . facetiousness . . .

I saw every episode as it was released! It could be clever, no doubt, but I'd still give the last three seasons of HARVEY BIRDMAN for another episode of BRAK.

Just jumping in here real quick - DeConnick has said in interviews she hasn't yet seen OitNB, partly because of surface similarities between the show's premise and BITCH PLANET. So, similarities are purely coincidental, yadda yadda.

If anyone is still paying attention, I thought I'd add my two cents to some of these comments.

I would just like to point out how cool it is that in a week without any major big-two superhero reviews, there's a cool and reasonable political discussion in the comments section. That's pretty awesome.
