OMG I still thought it was the same actress and some kind of SFX to make her look younger until I read this comment. I can't believe she has a grown-up daughter, she looks young herself

Yeah between boiling that one guy to death and breaking Alex's arm, I doubt the authorities care much about Piscatella's death

I wonder if the viral video will help the druglords track down Alex

For real I could do without Maureen. I'd like to know what in her file shocked Caputo, but then she can go. She seems to me to have very few redeeming qualities. I just feel vaguely uneasy when she's on screen because I feel like she's capable of really depraved evil shit but she is also quite boring to watch, which…

Roadblock? Justice for Poussey was literally all Taystee and Janae wanted. We've had a year to process Poussey's death, but in the world of the show it's three or four days later. Add to that the overwhelming context of cops killing black people without consequences and I honestly think she did the right thing to at…

The series diverged from the book ages ago. We are way overdue to see Piper written out of the show

I would LOVE to see Taystee out of prison with some kind of career opportunity, possibly running her own business. She is one of the only reasons to continue watching this once great show. Great character, phenomenal actress.
My even stronger desire though is for Piper to get written out. I'm so annoyed at the way they…

Yeah and I felt like he said it in this episode just because he wanted to hear it back. It's more or less in character that he would want to die feeling adored like the golden god he imagines he is.

Hi, she didn't happen to be a dude, and being attracted to her wouldn't make him gay. I'm surprised no one working on this show has issued an apology to the trans community yet. I know the characters are terrible people but the treatment of that particular character and incessant use of that slur by both the…

Eh? Being accused of rape is worse than being raped?

And I don't think he's locked down?? Isn't he a cowriter/producer etc? Pretty sure he could leave if he wanted to, he just knows how awesome this show is.

He was also in The Mindy Project as a love interest. I found it very difficult not to see him as a sinister sociopath.

I know I'm seriously LTTP, but I just watched this episode and I was wondering: does anyone else wish this show would be less transphobic? I absolutely love everything else about Sunny, but they surely regret the episodes with the trans woman in earlier seasons, and in this episode I couldn't help feeling that…

But yes, to be more serious, I also thought that for a second or two (that the blackmailers framed Kenny). I think it goes to show that the writers successfully manipulated us into caring about the character, to the extent that it was difficult to immediately accept that he had paedophilic urges.

Sorry for possibly bringing the tone down, but did anyone else notice that the Final Guy was Michael the Magnificent from the IT Crowd? (The guy Jen has to break up with because he looks too much like a magician)

Hey can I just say, there are hell of spoilers in this thread. If a moderator is reading this, could you please check that out? I know way more about the next episode than I wanted to at this point.

Bronn and the kid bonding and shaking hands is weird in hindsight in the same way as the interaction with the little girl at the beginning of the episode. He had no idea he was working with a potential paedophile - would he still have done it for the sake of his children?

I completely agree. I think the review is really insightful but I found the episode 100% compelling, could not look away. And I think the theme of the dubious morality of Anonymous-style vigilante justice is as relevant as ever. I thought it was just as good if not better than White Bear. It hit me harder because it…

Were we watching the same scene?? The inmates didn't start a riot. The guards reacted violently to a peaceful protest. A mentally ill inmate's post traumatic stress was triggered by seeing the guard responsible for her trauma and chaos ensued.

I feel like Bayley being the one to kill her makes it clearer that they were both victims of the system. Bayley is an innocent, stupid, untrained, incompetent but not remotely malicious person. Poussey is obviously more or less the nicest person on the show. The flashbacks to his petty criminality show that if not for…
