Re: Orange is the New Black - Netflix Original Series
SpoilerCorrect. One big thing is apparently her former lover wasn't in prison right at the start of her sentence. I would imagine that the back stories on most of the other inmates are either completely made up or based very loosly on stories from the book. I'm actually interested in picking up the book at some point. Don't know if I should do it between seasons or not. I doubt much of anything in the show's world will be spoiled.
As for the final scene, I highly doubted Pennsytucky is dead (before I learned she's signed back for season 2). She said she wanted new teeth in an earlier episode, so I bet Piper knocked them out, and she gets new implants to replace them. She takes it as a sign from God and everything is patched up with Piper. She's crazy like that.Spoiler
Well, the show kind of glamorizes Chapman (and Alex). I think the real Piper was basically a rich snob from NY. The book probably would be a real drop off from the show.
And that's what I was wondering about Doggett's character for next season.
She already hit 2 opposite extremes (religious freak then prison killer). How are they going to play this out for another season? Ok...she gets some new teeth. Then what.

SpoilerI've read a couple exerpts from the book. One of them was exactly the same as the scene where she and her boyfriend are in the lobby waiting for her to go into prison. Almost word for word. It seems to be well-written. But a lot of the drama stuff is fully overblown I'm sure. Those kind of non-fiction things are my favorite thing to read, so that's why I'm interested in it. I already have certain things spoiled just from researching the back story when I first started watching. That's why I'm thinking I'll just pick the thing up between seasons.
As for Pennsytucky if she gets teeth you ask then what? Maybe she fades more into the background. It seems like the show "takes turns" focusing on the different characters. Maybe she doesn't get another big story arc once the end of the season is resolved. I don't know. I've learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to this show. Hell, they had the lady who never talked once in the entire season belt out an amazing solo in the buildup to the final scene. That gave me chills, btw.Comment

RelFre might start acting more normal, and develop a platonic relationship with Piper. I like the character, but would appreciate a "settling down".Spoiler

Re: Orange is the New Black - Netflix Original Series
Just finished the season. You're all right about the long wait:
SpoilerI don't know if there has ever been a show like this that made me feel the complete opposite about so many characters than what I first thought of them in one season. Healy being the main one.
Piper annoyed me for much of the season with her over-thinking. I don't dislike her, but damn, she messes up too often by trying too much. Which is why I was glad she finally handled two situations when forced to at the end of the season. Both of which have or may backfire on her (Healy and Pennsatucky) but needed to be done.
Didn't expect Mendez to get the last laugh over Red. Figured it'd be a stalemate in the end, but she lost everything, and he's just suspended.
Norma singing at the end caught me off-guard. I figured she'd talk, but thought it would have been around that kitchen incident. Singing was unexpected and much better than the alternatives after watching it.
Shame how Tricia and Miss Claudette's stories ended.
Strong first season, can't wait for more. I'd like to see more backstories for how some of them got into prison next season. I'm guessing we will.
Random: I just now figured out where I'd heard Yoga Jones' voice before. Took me till today to realize she was the voice of Patti Mayonnaise.Originally posted by BlueNGoldI feel weird for liking a post about exposed penises.Comment

Re: Orange is the New Black - Netflix Original Series
I watched this a couple months ago and got through the whole thing in about three days. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for season two.

Re: Orange is the New Black - Netflix Original Series
I didn't mind any of the actors portraying their parts. Some did a way better job than others.
Someone else mentioned how so many of your opinions changed on certain people as the season went on, and I agree. Very cool how that happened.

I don't think he takes away, but he doesn't add much either. His character makes me wonder why the lovely Piper wants to get out jail so bad.Comment

Re: Orange is the New Black - Netflix Original Series
With Emmy nominations and awards for original content, it's only a matter of time before the monthly subscription rate goes up.
That being said, I cannot wait for OITNB2 and HOC2. Hopefully next year for both series.Comment
