Ha! They (well mostly Laura Prepon and Taylor Schilling's performance) earned that product placement check.

The way I saw it Red was under attack, by someone who is an authority figure with all of the power in the situation. She had to use whatever was in her arsenal in order to gain an advantage. I'm not saying it's necessarily *right*, but it is understandable to me.

I didn't get a "crunchy" vibe from Suzanne's family, more of a WASP feel. I got the sense from the flashback that the mom was more interested in Suzanne fitting in and sweeping any unpleasantness under the rug rather than admit to themselves there is a problem. Perhaps that's why the sister didn't think leaving…

She used the slur to get a rise out of him, not because it's how she feels. That's the difference.

I absolutely think the show is highlighting how unequipped our justice and prison systems are when it comes to mental health issues. Suzanne, Lolly, Morello and Kukudio should be receiving regular treatment or therapy (by someone more qualified than Healy) but that is not offered and when the alternative is a Psych…

I forgot about the jumping jacks. That was such a great moment, especially since we hadn't seen much of Donaldson previously so it seemed like a dick move at first.

Good question. That is spinoff material right there!

Maxwell was my favorite. I liked Bell too. Was Donaldson Admiral Rodcocker? He was good as well. O'Neill was meh but he knew show tunes so that helped.

I was wondering why they attempted to humanize her by having her not want to fight Suzanne and I think you hit the nail on the head.

There's something even more scary about the worst people in prison being the guards!

I did start reading that article the other day when someone linked it but haven't finished it yet. There are a few key differences with the prison the reporter worked at including that it is three or four times larger than Litchfield, even after the population doubled, it is medium security and most of the inmates are…

I've had some problems with the guards this season. It's not as though I don't think incidents like this occur, it's that they have made every guard into either a sadistic monster or someone who lacks any empathy when they see what is happening around them.

I believe Caputo said the Feds would be there in the morning, which is why he didn't want the guards to do their own investigation. It will be interesting to see how they handle things but I can't imagine that Red, who had the key to the toolshed, is completely off the hook just yet.

I didn't think it was possible, but the show has done a good job of humanizing Healy this season, primarily through his relationship with Lolly.

I had assumed that the guards all (most?) served in Afghanistan but I'm glad they finally acknowledged it. However, McCullough pointing out that the only bonding experience they had was Two Truths and a Lie with half the group makes it seem even less likely that this brotherhood would keep them so loyal to one…

"Orange juice, toothpaste, AR-15 assault rifle. Looks good!"

Definitely an injustice but no matter the result or who went down for it, that would be the case. Noone at Litchfield was going to believe their version of events.

I thought that was weird too but I guess it was his passive aggressive way of letting Piscatella know he should be backing him up in telling them not to investigate.

Linda is a monster but it's Caputo that frustrates me to no end because we know there is good in him and that he at least thinks of the inmates as human beings, unlike practically anyone remaining at Litchfield. I said this in a previous review but everything with him is one step forward and then ten steps back.

I loved seeing the three of them in the final montage. Luschek and Jones were suitably ashamed, but Judy was just going about her day as though she hadn't just taken part in the most awkward threesome ever shown on tv.
