I thought it opened with him finishing a slice and calling for more. The pie was already partly gone when she brought it over.

Like Arya. Mwahahaha.

Yeah, if he's warden shouldn't he be over max, too? I am inferring from past seasons and since the coroporate takeover it may have all changed anyway.

Lost the baby and her man, didn't she? I got the impression he had moved on, too, but maybe I am reading into memories?

Yeah, what was with all the salt? Just more weirdnesd on her part?

I do wish they'd bring back a little sympathy again, too. Then we'd also be more supportive of that probably righteous anger.
Edit: "justified" anger is probably closer to what I mean.

I don't think she's a bad egg, really. As we used to say in the 90s, Watson has angst. She's young and hurt and angry and rebellious and so she's acting out for a few months. She made a couple of attention-seeking attempts fresh out of high school and ends up losing her bright future. We're only seeing them for a…

She is so focused on the short-term. It's pretty maddening considering she had the opportunity to be cool, have a little friendly group to hang with for about a year, and then be done with all this. Instead she goes out of her way to get into more trouble. Maybe it's just cluelessness.

I think Caputo has issues with badness and blatant immorality, he's intellectually against it but emotionally drawn to it. Maybe it's a kind of masochism?

Plus, this is minimal security, not max, right? It's not supposed to be hell. Which is part of why s4 is so awful.

They keep bringing up educational and vocational improvement programs only to have the ideas shot down because of funding: very true to life.

Season 3 turned her into a much more sympathetic character, flipped from villian to victim in her past and present. I got all Big Boo type protective by the end, too.

Yeah, should be about that soon. She went in in Fall, right?

Really, Pennsatucky's arc didn't get your goat at all?

I think Boo's just got anger issues. Plus, bored. Hence all the minor side games she gets into.

It think it was 15-18 months. And Sweet Dee is right, if you pay attention you will see that a single day can take multiple episodes and rarely do we get more than a week or two time-jump.

Her neck, too, it wasn't just the back. And it's not like he was just resting there.

I sobbed hardest before that, when Healy was standing at the door and then again on the beach. Had to finish the season and now am so drained I feel like I got blind-side dumped.

I came here to process. If I could pick any of the inmates to be my girlfriend, it would have been her. This was a gut-punch for me.
Yet I think I actually emoted more for Healy, which surprised me, given that he's always been ambivalent.

That would be in line with the books. Don't know how that helps with ships, though.
