It's Michael Kelly, not Michael Stamper (he plays Doug Stamper on the show).

Agreed, I thought there was wayyy too much of them this season. I didn't have a problem with them before, but now I full-on dislike Leanne especially.

How would they give interviews while in prison??

That's quite a stretch. Even if Suzanne's mother knew about the interview and even if Suzanne had mentioned Piper's name, I doubt she would have remembered Piper's name and connected the dots at this point (although the show is a bit fuzzy on how much time has passed since season 1).

I agree, I finished the season today and I don't know that I would have gone back and read the later recaps if I had to wait days or weeks for them to be posted. However, I'm probably an oddball in that I don't tend to visit the AV Club homepage, I just Google the specific recaps that I'm interested in.

I agree, I was disappointed that most of the flashbacks were of characters that have already had multiple flashback episodes (Taystee, Daya, Piper, Red…). And Linda's flashbacks were just silly.
