@EvelKareebel:disqus : The 'dead eyes' thing is easily my number one turn off and no one else I talk to seems to get it which is incredibly frustrating. Nice to see I'm not alone in that camp.

At the same time, even though they play coy about the terminology - there's that discussion between Piper and Pauline in a later flashback that spells it out a bit more plainly but I still don't think she actually calls herself bisexual even then - they don't treat it the way that so many other films do where it was

Piper Chapman is basically what I imagine Nancy Botwin to have been before she had a family: Fundamentally selfish, always looking for the easiest way out of a situation, completely oblivious to how much her bullshit affects everyone around her or that these people might even have a life outside of how they relate to

As great as that might have been, given what did happen (intentional vagueness here since I don't know how far along anyone is at this point) it might have been the tiniest bit incongruous.

I remember loving the first season when it was airing, but when I went back to watch it on DVD I couldn't get past how awful the dialogue was and pretty much cut ties with it.

I'd like to just put forth 'Every scene between Lecter and his therapist.' as a moment, but for specificity's sake their final dinner will do.

So Laverne Cox for "Best Supporting Actress in a Partially Satirical Prison Drama With Laura Prepon Touching Girls" it is! Ad they so no good could come from more Emmy categories…

I'm actually not convinced that Claudette's in for the murder. I mean, we've established that it's a minimum security prison so I doubt that a premeditated murder - no matter how justifiable it was in her eyes - would land her there as opposed to a  maximum security prison. I like to think that she got caught for an

Agreed on that last point. This is definitely a far less cynical and more humane show (at least through episode 10) than Weeds ever was and that really works to its advantage, and I'm saying this as someone who will defend that show through season 6 no matter how loudly the consensus tries to play that it was all

1. Dan and Turner
2. Tony and Ralph
3. Tavon and Shane/Mara

Agreed. The only other one that comes to mind is The Goats' Tricks of the Shade.

The shower room at my school had been repurposed as storage for the uncomfortable folding chairs that got brought out for assemblies despite our gym having a full set of bleachers, so I was always confused about why it was a go-to thing for any and all HS shows I'd seen.

``Now Nancy, you know my position on monogamy. I am for it.``

Love that episode. Broad as all get out but I don't think I've laughed harder at anything on the show than Peggy's testimony.

Easy:
The Big Lebowski for entertainment
The Man With the Movie Camera with a selection of different potential soundtracks because you didn't say we couldn't do that!
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover to help convince myself that it's probably better to stay on the island and away from people

I'm waiting for them to introduce Ronnie's personality personally.

This might put me in the minority, but…I can't stand the Decoy Squad. They seem way, way too schtick-y to fit in on a show this gritty and other than their final re-appearance and how it brings some nice closure to Claudette's arc I don't think they really served too much of a purpose beyond being a distraction. They

In so many ways!

"I'm not proud of what I did, but you…"

We don't know that, they never found a body.
