Is it just me, or is this season much denser with the background jokes and details? I need to rewatch the first two after this one.

I watched The Illusionist after having seen The Prestige - and fallen madly in love with The Prestige. Batman vs Wolverine as Victorian magicians and also David Bowie is Tesla! I wanted to see the Illusionist, and thought it was pretty okay, but it didn't grab me so much. I would like to rewatch it with some distance…

Except Lillian wouldn't get caught ("Run, Lillian!"), at least not for anything serious. Okay, she could get a short sentence for possession of Old Spanish. But anything major she'd have a plan in place.

That's my theory, too. But that it may not be one of the prisoners who gets hit, although given the space they're in that seems most likely. I'm concerned that Gloria will be fatally wounded trying to intervene.

Orange Is The New Walking Dead

Agreed. I am a Litchfield Chicken Truther.

That would be the absolute best-case scenario…which is why I really doubt that will happen. Or maybe the true story just won't stick if it does go down that way, or any other way in which no one gets seriously hurt.

I'm worried that Gloria (most likely) will try to take it from her, and someone will end up shot in the ensuing scuffle. It wouldn't necessarily be Daya pulling the trigger and injuring or killing a guard or an inmate, but she'll be in quite a messy situation at the least. But it could be someone else charged with…

Now that is a shit sandwich I would not want to be in the middle of.

I, for one, did NOT see this coming - probably because I was bingeing it and just taking everything at face value. I thought the ugliness to balance out the (relative) positive attention was going to be Poussey not being able to get that reference, or losing the phone number in the laundry, and/or an implosion of her…

Definitely, unless there was some *extremely unlikely* change to her case/sentencing. I'm not assuming she's ever been in more than minimum security, but I can't remember if there's mention of Litchfield as the first prison she spent time in.

Oh, I meant sent to a maximum security prison in the first place. Though I can't remember offhand if there was mention of Maureen having been in another prison before Litchfield or about how long she's been in the system.

It would be interesting to find out if what made Caputo flip out wasn't necessarily exactly what she was in for, but that it was related to a high-profile crime that her role in was minimal. That would make the quick, extreme reaction understandable while still having it be something that didn't get her sent to max.

P.S. I guess I more meant it sucks if you had to have such difficulties that you understand the terrible parts because of it, but even that is a big assumption to make, and I should have just blathered rather than trying to say something concise and "normal" because I'm frequently not very good at it!

Thank you! I wasn't thinking about autism in those terms, probably because my (very recent, but it makes so much sense looking back) diagnosis hasn't been put to me in those terms. So I wasn't thinking about it in this context.

The bodies in the freezer don't bother me!

I feel like it's gotta be something really weird, like dosing unwitting customers with strong psychotropics (didn't she suggest eating mushrooms in the woods? I'll have to go back to that) at a haunted house she worked at. Because it would make the experience more real!

I seriously expected the chicken to flutter out of there! But maybe that's why it didn't.

Yeah, he should've given him a Patrick Rothfuss book!
