Piper really seems to think entering this level of criminal conspiracy is just a game, and while the show may be trying to make a point about how easy it is to get wrapped up in serious criminal activity without realizing the stakes, all it really seems to be doing right now is pointing out all the different ways…

I feel like this is a slightly different storytelling issue I don't understand. I get that the new food is total slop and the only real way to prepare it is just cooking the bag, etc, but what is stopping Red and the crew from at least attempting to add other flavors once it's hot? If she can make ratatouille during…

I'm just happy because now she can still rank #1 in my "favorite inmates of S3" list.

True, Piper does need to take responsibility for being such a shithead this year

Manning is *incredible* in those scenes — the whole arc relies on her facial expressions at the end of each one, and they manage to convey so much. There's a world of difference between her 1998 bored discomfort, to the later in 1998 resigned anger, to her shock and amazement at feeling sexual pleasure for the first…

I feel like Piper went from realizing that prison isn't a game and taking it seriously in the first season to just gleefully rubbing her white privilege in everyone's face. "haha, I'm starting an organized crime ring lol!!!"

What killed me about the scene with Coates is that Taryn Manning manages to radiate such disappointment, even though her face and eyes are blank. She thought she'd at least be free of sexual abuse behind bars, really seemed like she had made progress on her anger issues, and the minute she gets her hopes up that this…

What sucks is that she really does need to be in a facility with much higher security and surveillance and serious counseling about coping with her obsession — and maybe medication, though I cringe at someone like Healy being allowed to prescribe it.

I blame Stella and her ability to perfectly maintain a buzzcut IN PRISON

Ugh, the psychological torture is horrifying. I know Christopher probably shouldn't have engaged her by showing up at the prison, but I can't imagine scary it must be to have your stalker tormenting you from behind bars! Morello really belongs in a facility with more surveillance, and with good mental health…

That's one of the weird elements to me as well. I know the producers on those shows are the ones tasked with "writing" the storylines somewhat in real time so they can manipulate the outcomes they want, but when they were presenting footage to Quinn it was unclear if that was just like a "draft" of what the episode…

That's 100 percent right. Actually the Bachelorette *just* got some heat for running these gay panicky promos implying that two of the guys fell in love - with the guys' blessing, even; they were joking about it on Twitter - that was built around the two of them kind of becoming friends for an episode.

that or it's the blonde's dad

if this is anything like Murphy's other shows, that will be built up from the premiere as the logical and somewhat interesting lead possibility, only to have it revealed that the actual killer is a random character introduced one episode before the finale

totally agree but i don't love them (lol)

Good point! Not all costume design is what Bianca Del Rio does

with god as my witness, i shall only ever tip Katya $5s and up *tears*

Yeah, I didn't get the Kitty's best friend part of it. Were they supposed to create a realistic "BFF" for the real Hello Kitty (Violet), adapt their drag persona into a Hello Kitty-esque doll (Katya and Ginger), or just make up a character that was kind of hood (Pearl and Kennedy)? Katya got read a lil bit for going…

I feel like he just gets the episodes where Ross was too busy tbh which like… you could get a better substitute judge

Yeah, I think during that consultation with Ru and Santino, she was weighing what to say. "Do I bring up my costume experience and let them use that against me? Or do I downplay it to excuse my basic dress and limited fashion sense?"
