I'm really sick of the "Lady Gaga is so innovative therefore she's just like Bowie" mentality the mainstream media seems to have. Has no one actually listened to her music? It's about as straight up, cookie-cutter mainstream pop as anyone else out there on the top 40 charts. If a different singer sang it, we wouldn't

Agreed on the feeling appalled. Ultimately, I don't think anyone can refute that the show presented the problems of the American criminal justice system very well.

Well Buting and Strang don't represent him cause Avery couldn't afford them anymore … I mean, if you're arguing they should represent him just cause they think he's right and forgo pay, I think that's a little crazy to ask since that's how they earn their living. They still showed them trying to help in the best way

If that were the case, then why would the police feel the need to tamper with evidence so much? It's one thing if pieces were missing but had they not planted the key or blood, it still would've lead to Steven, right, with the evidence (or am I being optimistic)? Didn't they realize the framing would taint Steven more

I guess I just think it's weird that he would kill her. I don't get why he'd continually go at lengths to prove his innocence today or..talk about it in this manner.. And what about the remains found in 3 locations? Did he burn her elsewhere then? I'm not convinced he did it. (or maybe I just don't want to be.)

Did the State ever give the jury what they believed to be Avery's motive? I know the documentary left a few things out, so I'm wondering (PRAYING) they did –––– not because I believe Avery is guilty, but because I don't get how a jury could "beyond reasonable doubt" convict someone if they don't even have a motive for

I really hope Phil 2 lives…like maybe there's a twist that the heart monitor wasn't hooked up properly or was running out of power…

I get a Louie vibe from this for some reason. Which isn't a bad thing, I love Louie, but it's not what I was expecting from Aziz. I'm still excited to see it, though.

I highly doubt it'll be them two on their own. That's a really cool concept, and I'd love to see it? but I don't think we can forget about Jason Sudeikis's inevitable arrival.

I agree that there were changes in character that were refreshing, but I feel like it could've all been explored more at length or better somehow, and it just wasn't. A missed opportunity, I guess.

This episode came and went in a flash. Like the reviewer said, all the problems were resolved in 2 seconds…

I might get a lot of shit for this, but…

yes, that was great. Kristen Schaal's delivery is always on point.

This ep taps back into the psychological side-effects of the show's premise, instead of focusing on Phil's sex drive - which is awesome. Now I'm pumped to see where they take it.

I'm still so heartbroken over Soso. I didn't care for her until this season – I actually remember disliking her last year – but now I find her to be one of my favorites. I relate to her in several ways, and seeing her reach this low point really shook me.

While I see the reasons for disliking this episode, I did enjoy it. Perhaps it's because I'm part Asian, but OITNB hasn't really highlighted the treatment of Asians in prison (or in society, for that matter) and while it was only briefly grazed over (one ep can't make up for everything) it was a nice foray into it.

I completely see it, but something about Healy trying to woo someone is so cringeworthy, I feel like I'm watching an episode of the Office or something. I have a visceral reaction when he does anything awkward.

Sure, but I just don't get why they'd waste valuable screen time on idiots being idiots and making idiotic television, that's all.

A big hetero hello to all of you!

From what I've read, they do! I know, I enjoy the characters so much that it's enjoyable overall. I personally could do with less Alex/Piper, but it still feels like classic OITNB.
