The Story Behind Orange Is the New Black’s Torture Scene and the Deleted Moment That Alters Piscatella’s Story http://www.vulture.com/2017…

Nick and Morello are definitely toxic and have the same push-pull, on-off thing Piper and Alex had.

"This season of Orange Is The New Black has been the most divisive one yet"
What? 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, 83 on Metacritic. Oh, wait, just projecting your bias.

What does this writer think about the time the show spends on Nicky and Lorna, and their back and forth since season 1?

Nothing about that relationship feels authentic? In what universe? What feels authentic to you in the Nicky & Lorna relationship?

Piper and Alex don't have "will they, won't they" storyline anymore. They've been pretty solid since the second half of season 4, and now season 5. It's just bias that keeps some people hating them.

Season 3 was the worst/most insufferable she's been. How can you like her in that season?

"caused in large part due to Prepon’s absence in the second season"
Actually, Alex was originally supposed to be only a season 1 character, to complete her part in the story in season 2: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Actually, most people can't see - still - why Alex felt and feels so much for Piper.

"they both seem to know each other so well that they cut straight through the bullshit and tell the harsh truths that neither want to hear from the other"
Sounds like Piper and Alex.
