I'm sure if she had just refused to pay them for that reason people would have applauded her wisdom.

Everyone knows what she did to Tucky.

Boo has done the same thing and no one hates Boo in prison. Red explained it in season 1 (that she got an ex's sentence extended). Boo also turned on Red to Vee and no one in prison cares.
Not to mention things like Nicky destroying every aspect of Red's life including making her lose her outside business (losing the…

Except Piper has always been very adept at getting what she wants and fucking over anyone who underestimates her. From day one where she pretty quickly navigated the prison barter system to get back on Red's good side (nobody here could do that as quickly and adeptly). Through opening the track, preventing her…

If someone stole from you you would call the police and that person could end up in prison.

It's been very well established by now that people that underestimate Piper get fucked.

But Alex's way meant they don't get paid. You can't agree with her and agree with Flaca. Either Alex is right or Flaca was right.

First of all, she COULDN'T do that without creating a much vaster conspiracy through money laundering, which she had to do. Second, again you are asking her to be better than everyone else. Better than everyone else in the history of the world, really. Funny how this is the only case where AV Club demands the main…

No, she has as much as another year in prison. And she is getting the girls paid which is more than anyone else is doing.

Except it clearly wasn't because in the *very same scene* she is shown giving into all of the other employee demands such as benefits.

No, it isn't silly. He got the second most number of lines in the show. It is a show about inmates' stories not some dude banging chicks. Beyond that they are completely misrepresenting the serious issue of systematic abuse in prisons by making it about a couple of bad apples.

Piper is being an asshole but, on the other hand, the double standard against her is kind of ridiculous. Red would NEVER have allowed the kind of insolence in her organization Flaca showed when she shouted over Piper and said this was all her doing. Gloria literally cut her out of the family for doing LESS. This is…

It was much longer than a year. (It had to have been at least two and a half years. Piper's money laundering happened 10 years ago. She broke up with Alex 8 years ago. And they were together for awhile before the money laundering.) And it wasn't an adventure per Piper's own words.

I liked the scene, a lot. Taylor Schilling is really very good at the comedy stuff.

The rich white woman who gets in over their heads with things they can't control is really a lot more Nicky's story than Piper's.

Yes. I always really liked Piper. Not that she was my favorite or the most valuable POV. She isn't. But I think she is a complex character in her own right. And if she were just part of the ensemble (which she actually is) and not the nominal lead I think people would let that play out more. She is a flawed person who…

Yes, a person has an opinion that is different then yours lets condescend to them.

The original was about a genuine bond between father and son taking place in the world they lived in. In this the Jewish jokes were almost entirely in the subconscious of a hack. It didn't take place in that world. It is a completely different premise.

Krusty retires all of the time. It is a running gag at this point.

The Stewie torture bit was redeemed by Bart immediately being horrified and untying them, in my opinion. Even though he would be hit for his troubles. It wasn't a Simpsons episode it was a Family Guy episode and that is something that happens on FG. But it really underscored the difference between the shows, in my…
