But there *are* ladies other than overweight, dark skinned ones with bad weave in the hood. Always. 80s, 90s, 00s, to today. Compton is/was primarily black, but there are a ton of Hispanic people that live there too. Black people don't suddenly turn dark skinned if they're poor. And "poor" is not a physical quality…

That colorism is definitely a troubling lens that the young NWA would absolutely have subscribed to. And if that's reflected in the story, even in a small way, I will be impressed. But this is casting for the extras. These are the people who will fill out the world, not speaking characters.

Unsurprisingly, it's one of the worst cities in the country for ANYTHING

Usually casting calls are aimed at agents, who can add their own racism to a vaguely worded post (i.e. they'd never put such explicit skin tone terms, but they'd absolutely leave in stuff like "long natural hair" and trust agents knew what they meant). I guess since this is for extras who are self submitting they…

When I worked briefly in casting almost every single casting notice boiled down to "Female 20-30: PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. Looking for a tall, skinny blonde, beautiful, traditionally feminine looking girl who looks 18, but is 22."

I was physically relieved by that. Like "THANK GOD she gets to stay and also he was a good father to that adorable adorable baby"

This show is going to stack the guest actress category for the foreseeable future. I'd stump for Barbara Rosenblat but there's no way she'll win against Toussaint, who gets to do just as much subtle dramatic work, just as much comedy, and be a big oversized villain to boot.

1. Rosa
2. Poussey
3. Nicky
4. Red
5. Suzanne

YES. Makes so much more sense and fits much better into Fig's character as a whole. She always seemed grossed out by the idea of working in the actual prison, but had to because it was where she stole all of her husbands money from.

I think the "rudeness" comment, allusions to Hannibal Lector aside, is a beautiful way to describe Vee's true evil: she treated everyone she believed to be weaker than her like shit. But she had terrible judgement on who was weak and who was strong.

Burning down Agrestic seemed like a bold move to get away from repeat story lines but ultimately it ruined the show because it had to take place in the "real world" from then on, where all of the stupid Weedsy shit made no sense.

I am fully on Larry's side every time he calls out Piper for her stupid, selfish behavior, just like I was on Skyler's side when she didn't want a drug kingpin to be around her kids. Ultimately, though, BB is a story about Walt and his family, while OITNB has made huge strides away from being about Piper and is more…

I loved the ending. It perfectly encapsulates how this show is a marriage of comedy and drama, sometimes in the same moment. And Rosa was the perfect character to go out on.

I don't know if I can believe any dealer would be purposely caught to go to prison, I can totally believe that she was secretly relieved. She's a paranoid coward.

I agree about Piper getting Alex back in prison, not just because it was manipulative, but because it wasn't even really the "right" thing to do! Like if she was planning on leaving the country to go sell more drugs, I could see why you'd want to stop that. But Piper just wants someone to talk on the phone with, which…

UGH it makes no sense, Piper you are allowed to have a relationship with more than just your two exes

At the very least, the prison will have a pretty significant influx of cash, which should improve the conditions somewhat. But Caputo seems particularly ill-equipped to deal with a number of things that were set up in S1 and 2, like
-Pornstache's trial, which could gain national attention, especially if Daya doesn't…

My problem isn't so much that she was blindly devoted, but that her reasoning shifted pretty dramatically over the course of the season without getting to see her perspective. Her flashback sets up that she wants to be with Vee because she can provide a sense of family, but is afraid because of how Vee iced her when…

Not sure about lobster but according to this article http://www.businessinsider…., she said "daily interactions with the staff and fellow inmates here at Alderson are marked by fair treatment and mutual respect."

I was betting on her playing Piper's new lawyer, but I would love her as a corporate embezzler type. Would make a nice shift away from the small-time smuggling story lines from the past 2 seasons.
