I take great offense to the suggestion I shit out all the reviews at once—they were shit out an hour apart, thank you very much!

Two notes: I wrote all of these reviews before ever attaching grades to them, so don't put too much stock in them. If I didn't have to grade things, I wouldn't, and if this experiment does nothing else than convince you to ignore grades it'll be worth it!

Don't stress! They're there when you need them to be!

I'm hopeful that we can work together to keep that from happening, but there's no question there won't be quite the same level of finale conversation given that people will get to it at so many different times. I'm equally hopeful, though.

As always, I appreciate the compliments, and I hope my rationale above properly communicates my ambivalence over the tradeoff operating here. I obviously thought of all of you when making the final call on it, but I'm hopeful that we can do what we can to keep the discussions alive.

Fair, although my central objection is really that the video would have made it to such a space in such a short period of time. It's not like Damn, Daniel just happened and went viral - it took longer processes of sharing to manage that.

Ugh, did I? *Checks* Someone must have changed it, so thanks for the heads up.

But how did THAT person find it? (This is a byproduct of writing as I went, and not having time to luxuriate on each episode - my incredulity stands, in general, if not specifically).

Thanks for the catch. Will fix later.

I was so careful with headlines and photos, I swear. The only thing it spoils at a quick glance is the basic rising action and climax of a TV season, from the perspective of someone who has seen the thing and would feel similarly. (The home page problem is real, but sadly unavoidable).

Nothing I cover has aired in 2017 to date, it's not like I was hiding.

A reminder that this comment section is only for people who have just seen up to this episode, so this is not a space to spoil when Piper decides to perform the entire cast recording of Hamilton to kill time on the way to Mars. Save that for the review of Episode 7.

There are two qualities to a bottle episode. The first is that it only uses one location and often a limited number of characters, logistical details that is often the reason why these episodes are created.

Welcome to the Orange is the New Black comment section. As always, these reviews and this comment section are for those who have only watched up to this episode, so avoid spoiling or alluding to future episodes. Conversations about Suzanne's zero-gravity research for her next erotic novel need to wait until the…

Welcome to the Orange is the New Black comment section. As a reminder, this comment section is for only people who have seen up to this episode, so avoid spoiling future story events and instead discuss those in the review of the most recent episode you've watched. I *know* that it was exciting when Pennsatucky threw…

Welcome to the Orange is the New Black comment section. As always, a reminder these comments are intended only for those who have seen up to this episode, so avoid spoiling or alluding to future episodes in your discussion. Not everyone will know about Freida's heroic sacrifice in order to keep the spaceship operable.

Welcome to the Orange Is The New Black comment section. While the circumstances are a little different this season, the rules are still the same: this comment section is for those who have only watched the premiere, so don't spoil future episodes, avoid alluding to or discussing future episodes, and save your…

This is a fundamental byproduct of it being a midseason show—at 22, they would have been able to flesh out the basic interpersonal dynamics of the characters between "mythology" episodes, but the short order is forcing them to cram everything in, and I don't think 13 episode-orders are actually productive for high…

The internet's #BarbThirst KNOWS NO BOUNDS.

"Huh, this sounds like that GAF thread," he said before cross-checking.
