Season 5 of Orange is the New Black has just hit Netflix and if you're all caught up to the latest season, 4 ended with a Breaking Bad style cliffhanger. Just to jog your memory (Season 4 spoilers)
After the death of beloved inmate Poussey, a riot is incited by Tasystee after witnessing the press conference making no mention of her best friend's name and shifting the blame off the officer who accidentally suffocated her. At the very last scene we're met with an officer who had smuggled a gun into the prison lose his weapon in the cross section of a hallway, as Dia picks up the gun and aims it at the two officers trying to quell the riot. The following season takes place in the hours/days immediately following this incident and again, will focus on various people's grief over Poussey, the treatment they're getting at the prison, and reveal yet more interesting backstories to side characters you never thought you wanted to know.
quote:f you haven't watched the first two seasons, a woman named Piper Chapman is sent to prison wherein she has wacky prison adventures. Most episodes are formatted where interspersed with the main plot we get backstory flashbacks for one of the inmates, usually showing how they ended up in prison. While the show is technically about Piper, it's really held together by the strong ensemble cast of the other prisoners.
Summary of Season 1: Piper, an early-30s upper class WASPy woman goes to prison for 15 months for smuggling drug money 10 years ago. Shortly after arriving she reunites with her old girlfriend, Alex, who is also in prison for the same drug related crimes. Alex and Piper rekindle their relationship, causing Piper's engagement with her fiance Larry to be called off. During her time, Piper's attitude makes her several enemies, including a meth-addict named Pennsatucky. During the Christmas pageant Pennsatucky attacks Piper, causing her to nearly beat Pennsatucky to death. Some other plots include a mentally unstable woman known as Crazy Eyes becoming obsessed with Piper, a Russian woman, Red, who smuggles goods in via the kitchen being ousted from her position of power, and an inmate Daya and one of the prison guards, Bennett falling in love, and Daya becoming pregnant. In order to conceal their relationship, Daya has sex with another guard, Mendez (aka Pornstache), who is fired when caught.
Summary of Season 2: Piper, while still technically the protagonist, has little to do in this season. Her breakup with Larry becomes permanent as Larry and Piper's best friend Polly begin a relationship. Alex is released because she testifies against the drug Kingpin she used to work for, but he goes free anyway. She was last seen caught violating her parole by carrying a gun. The main plot of the season surrounds the animosity between Red and a new inmate Vee, who had a history from when Red was newly imprisoned. Vee gathers all the black inmates around her to create a gang, and they begin smuggling cigarettes and drugs into the prison. Red joins with the old ladies and uses a tunnel in the greenhouse to smuggle various prohibited but otherwise harmless items into the prison. The confrontation comes to a head when Vee nearly beats Red to death and then escapes through the tunnel, but is immediately killed when hit by the van of another escaping convict. Daya and Bennett's relationship is rocky as her pregnancy continues, as Pornstache is believed to be the father of the baby, but in the finale Bennett confesses to the new Assistant Warden that it is his child.
(I am directly copy and pasting from the last thread, there will be updates on Season 3 & 4 maybe. Eventually.
Since this is a binge-watch show released all at once, people might not be caught up to where you're at yet and so the spoiler's policy from the last thread seems like a great idea.
quote:OK, here's what we're going to try as a test. Some people are not happy with the go-wild aspect of the Netflix threads so we're going to try a different approach. If you have general thoughts on the show that's fine. If you are doing specific reactions to episodes they will go into labeled spoiler tags with the episode you are on or have completed for the first 72 hours. If you haven't gotten to that episode then don't click on the spoiler. This is just a trial for Daredevil and if it doesn't work we'll just go back to the old way from now on. And now an example post:
So far the show is good. I enjoy this show so far through episode 10. It is a fine television program.
1x10
The thing that happens in this episode certainly happened. And how it tied back into what they were saying in episode 3 was definitely a cool thing. I think the villain that appeared in this episode and did the villainy thing was bad. He should be punched by the Daredevil and have to go to jail.
The 1x10 is just the episode you're up to. You can write all about episode four if you want, but if you let something slip that came out later and you forget and it maybe happened in episode six that's why you still put episode 10 and not episode 4. Get it? Hope it works. And if not sorry!

I just made this thread because I noticed an error in the last episode, basically.
S5x13
They mention they did count twice and were still coming up 10 short. Counting the 10 in the basement, Chang & Pensyltucky who escaped through the cage, and the addition of Linda, there should have been 11 missing inmates. Nobody noticing of course that at least one inmate was missing. I can see the plot hole *almost* being covered up because the meth girls burned all the records which is of course going to lead to Linda being an inmate by not being able to prove her innocence but it seems like Chang just got away as a gag without them have even remembering she had left.

One thing that always impresses me with OitnB is that there's always a character that you start to think "There's no way this character is redeemable. They're just plain evil" and then after awhile they end up being likable again, or at least trying to attend for their sins/mistakes.

If someone were marathoning this whole thing the break after Poussay's death would probably be a welcome break but when you wait a whole drat year for a new season that felt like it was the trigger to turn the series into Breaking Bad, and what ends up happening is it turns into Family Guy instead, yeah.

Man, remember when 24 episode seasons were the standard? A show would literally air for half a year. That seems insane now.

I mean yeah, I'll still watch every new season but it's going to be so painful waiting a full year for mediocre content

It's always an option to refrain from binging and only watch one episode a week.
