I think that might be what happened.

Indeed, I now remember that it does.

I remembered it as being killer and kept wanting to re-watch it. And now I can!

YES! That is it! I knew I was right to trust this comment section. Apparently I remembered the faded colors as black and white in my memory.

Okay, guys, I've been looking for somewhere to ask this for years and this looks like the place. I'm trying to find a black and white episode that I feel like involved vikings (something like vikings, anyway). There's this village of people that are obsessed with this golden thing that glows. They call it something…

Exactly! It's perfectly believable that people that terrible, and terrible in the specific ways the COs are portrayed, would be drawn to this kind of career. But damn, there are just so MANY evil people in and around Litchfield. Well. I suppose some are just wildly incompetent. I still think some of the evil shit they…

He really was. At least he only tried to kill one person. And he was doing it as a job! If that makes it better, ha.

I think it's because life does have dumb, stupid, funny moments at the most inappropriate times. It feels more realistic to have idiots yelling dumb shit in the background of tragedies that to have everyone grim all the time, I think

Sounds legit to me. I couldn't remember if the tunnel that used to be under the garden shed was still available or not, and spent a confused moment wondering if someone was breaking into the prison, but that seems really unlikely.

I suppose the writers could have watched Supernatural back in the day and decided to adopt the idea that the afterlife is just reliving happy memories for all eternity?

Yeah, it really was. There's been a lot of near-cartoonish evilness this season (not that I don't think people like that exist! But the evilness was turned all the way to 11) and that fell over the edge, for me anyway.

Yeah, then again, I could see Maritza doubling down on her whole 'I don't have feelings' thing in the aftermath of the trauma.

So now that the season is over, I can ask about the stupid corn moving the night they found the assassin's body. That was never addressed, right? Was it the chickens? Were the chickens in the corn, eating pieces of the dead guard to gain his power?

Her conflict with her mom was pretty much her only other plot point and now mom is out of prison, so she's got even less to do.

Yeah, for Daya and the gun, I know shows don't have to put neat narrative bows on everything, but it just seemed anticlimatic for it to be her? I mean, she has a history of having reasons to have COs, but not these particular COs.
