    He only thinks Sarah wants to have sex with him because of what happened with Gina Gershon in Episode 2! It's such subtle, perfect continuity for the character. In Pete's experience so far, when an older woman invites him into her house, he is basically signing a contract to have sex with her, and now he genuinely

    The prevailing theory is that it's secretly Rose Abdoo playing Berta.

    No, Bayley doesn't deserve to have his life ruined for his accidental murder. But the idea that he should ever work in ANY prison again, let alone Litchfield, is insane. He was already pretty bad at his job, and now he has PTSD. Why would he even want to return to a place that will constantly remind him of the darkest

    Seems like they're setting up Sankey at least for some kind of redemption, and I'd be willing to bet she's one of the new characters who will get a flashback next season, along with probably Alison, Hapakuka, and Kukudio. And maybe we'll finally get flashbacks for old characters like Gina, Frida, or DeMarco.

    I've empathized with almost every character at some point. Hell, even Piscatella is probably the way he is in part because of anti-gay bullying. But one of thew few I don't empathize with is Maureen, who knew exactly what she was getting into and actively seeks out fucked-up situations. And we know there's something

    Kukudio clearly seems to have psychopathic tendencies. We know there's something horrifying in her file. She's shown a complete lack of regard for consequences in that she STILL thinks staying in the woods was a good idea. And she clearly views Suzanne as a thing that didn't do what she wanted her to, rather than a

    She is capable of understanding the consequences of her actions. She's just not capable of controlling herself. She means well but doesn't have the emotional maturity to stay out of harm's way. THAT'S what makes it so tragic. When Maureen is egging her on you can see how terrified she is because she knows how

    Exactly! Isn't someone keeping employment records? Can't they just look up everyone they've hired and find out who is no longer alive?

    Oh, because Ray is the head of security and runs a really corrupt prison which in turn helps him get customers for his site. His two jobs are linked. I get it.

    Just like last year's Mr. Robot reveal, I was unsurprised by the twist itself but awestruck with how artfully they revealed it and fit it into the larger themes of the show. Somehow knowing it was coming made it even better.

    How are those skinhead prisoners accessing Ray's site, though?

    The whole point of Elliot's little speech at the end is that changing the setting doesn't change the story at all. Everything we knew about Elliot's story - the memory lapse, the routine, his internal struggle against Mr. Robot, working for and then turning in Ray, the Adderall trip - are unchanged by knowing that

    #Sportsball people are super annoying elitists, yes, but I've been to many a family gathering where I have to sit in silence the whole time because the ONLY thing to talk about is sports. So I get the impulse.

    Am I alone in rooting for Ruiz? Someone has got to knock Chapman down several notches. I cheered when I saw new Dominican girl steal some panties.

    Strong weeks again for Wanserski and Teti.

    My imaginary fake money's on Arya this week. Had the books not existed, no one would have bet on Ned's death in Season 1 either. It does raise the question of "If Arya dies, why did we waste so much time watching her in Braavos", but maybe it sets up Jaqen and the Faceless Men as Season 7 villains. She probably isn't

    Psssh, Stannis was prophesized too.

    Damn, I've been trying to think of a way they could kill off Arya and still have her storyline matter, and this is it. Bra(a)vo(s).

    If you swap out all of the coding references for 90s pop culture references this could easily have been an episode of Seinfeld. Jerry meets a perfect girl but dumps her because of some nitpicky difference of opinion. George strikes up a flirtatious phone relationship with a woman he's never seen, starts to worry that

    No complaints, but this was basically a Seinfeld episode with Richard as Jerry, Dinesh as George, and Jared as Kramer.
