Orange Is The New Black, Season 2 Episode 2 (Open Spoilers)

I like the Moderators solution. I prefer the one thread per episode-one episode per thread /no spoilers option if it had to be one or the other.

Liked that Piper went from “OMG, I’m in prison!” to “Huh…I’m actually in a pretty cushy prison!” after her experiences in Chicago.

The flashbacks to Suzzanne’s early years was heartbreaking and explained a lot. Apparently a mix of natural “different-ness” and her fish out of water upbringing.

As I said when I started this 1 thread per episode thing, I was influenced by the TBBT 1 thread per episode threads. No spoilers were necessary and we could talk about them as we watched them. And I like the Moderators’ solution. There’s the open spoiler episodic threads AND a closed spoiler seasonal thread. Something for everyone.

I thought this was a nice episode. Some back story on a now familiar character, some resolution on some existing story lines, a one episode story, and some seeds for new story lines. Healy covered his ass by buying Pensyltucky off with dental work. Red finally came down off her high horse and started a friendship with the other older women. And Daya’s mother is showing jealousy because Daya is turning to Gloria for help, not her. As if she was much of a mother to Daya before. And I liked the scene where that blonde who was Pensyltucky’s wing woman commented that things were a lot more peaceful with Pensyltucky gone. Oh, and the Larry and Polly thing. I enjoyed the way Polly didn’t say anything bad about Piper and was always going to take her side against Larry. :wink:

Ugh, Larry and Polly. I actually don’t care at all about those two characters and whether they hook up. I’d only be sad for Piper if her best mate betrays her (she’s better off without Larry and to be fair, has already cheated on him).

I like all the Polly and Larry scenes. They go good together and hope they hook up.

I felt like the Larry/Polly arc was way too predictable.
