Oh god, my wife and I hate Piper so fucking much. All that hate pays off soon.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Yeah, my wife didn't like that, but I thoroughly enjoyed how that played out.

2 eps to go:
Spoiler: show
They found the body and Lolly took the fall. The prison guard psycho is really unsettling. Every once in a while after watching this show, I think of how helpless prisoners are and it makes me sad. We do just consider them scum and do not care about their rights, but they're human beings, and some of them really did insignificant shit.

That episode and the next one crushed me. One to go. Big improvement on last year.

Last year's finale was so lame that it tainted the whole season, but on the whole, I think season 3 was the funniest. This season had few actual laughs, but the drama really amped up. We were in tears at the end of episode 12. Didn't see that coming at all.
Spoiler: show
I was not a fan of the way it went down. This was pretty clearly a BLM thing, but they made it so the Poussey died because of A) an accident that a good white guy didn't mean to happen and B) another crazy African playing a role and being at least partially responsible. Why not just have that asshole Humphrey be the guy? Also, why did they have to kill a black chick? They're the best part of the show, hands down. If Black Cindy goes, I follow.

Your mad they didn't go with cliches for the ending?

Good people do good things. Bad people do bad things. Good people do bad things. Bad people do good things. And some people of either strip just fuck up.

I didn't think that finale ruined anything.

No, not mad at all. I just think having Crazy Eyes be a factor was a mistake. Yeah, I feel bad a good guy was responsible, but I firmly believe that's what happened in MN last week, too. It's heartbreaking on both sides.

Uzo Aduba is fantastic this season. A 'return to form'

I hope he's back next season. They built him up so much, I hate to see such a great villain just disappear like that.

We just started this in the last week. We're 4 episodes in. The first had some good prison shower carpet-munching so my hopes are high. We like it so far. Kinda surprised Mrs. Wease likes it, but I'm not complaining.

Just got caught up with this last night. I do hope he returns so he can get his. He's an ass.

I'm wondering if Daya will actually shoot the guard. He certainly deserves it. He's a douche.

We're 3 eps into the latest season. I understand they're going with a whole season is just a few days, and I like that idea a lot, actually. It's a neat change. The first two eps were decent, but I thought the third was kind of a turd. I'm really attracted to the girl Caputo has been banging with his monstrous cock. I am really annoyed with the amount of background yelling still going on. I get it, it's a riot, but wouldn't they use inside voices eventually? It's like group work in a class of 40 freshmen. Too much noise.

We're up to the last episode. A very interesting season, to be sure. I gues this is how they plan on two more seasons happening.

Season 5 is moderately entertaining, but they've completely jettisoned any serious commentary for stupid jokes. It was like they were building up last season to this deep commentary on treatment of prisoners in private prisons, then Trump got elected and they said, "fuck it, let's just make shit jokes and make fun of drug addiction and mental health."
