Im pretty sure the realistic response is the inmates inciting a riot, or the movie being used as some sort of torture for solitary inmates

I really enjoyed the show. I thought the dialog was great and the writers are superb... I don't think the trackstar died because she's in the Xmas play in the last episode. However, I do feel that something significant will transpire from the power surge, especially with it being carried over into the following scene.

Just jumped in here to say I really enjoyed the show. The characters really grow on you

Also loved the Let's Potato Chip appearance

I'm not sure that was a shout out. Let's Potato Chips is used as a prop in a lot of different stuff.

Not sure if she did kill her, but the rest of this is definitely correct.

Finished Season 1 today. I enjoyed the whole season and it definitely kept me entertained. Was it the greatest show ever made? Of course not, but I don't understand a lot of the hate. I felt it was very well cast and very well written. Most of the characters were played perfectly which made it easy to get involved in the plot. I'll definitely be watching Season 2 when it is out.

One of my favorite scenes was when crazy eyes did the Shakespeare during the scared straight program. I also really liked how there were plenty of story lines going on throughout the show. The ending was good too. Didn't expect it to finish like it did.

I finally finished this up after starting early this week. I thought it was great and looking forward to what happens next.

I just finished and that ending was a total mind**** to me. I guess not exactly unpredictable but still caught me off guard. Wow.

I felt the same way. Part of me knew that was coming but at the same time I was all wtfpiperdamn!?!

just finished this and i liked it alot , the thing i liked the most were the characters , i liked almost all of them and their personalities ...my only complaint is that some of the storylines were telegraphed / too predictable , especially vause / piper / larry storyline ,when larry's father told him not tell piper about vause naming her you knew exactly how that was going play out (and that happened pretty early in the show) but other than that im looking forward to next season .

alot of the plots/storylines are pretty lol but i dont think the show takes itself too seriously but at the same time it never gets too silly and im fine with that .

the theme song for this show is amazing

It's also not a plot driven show, it's all about the characters and their changing relationships with each other. So who cares if it makes sense.

Listened to this episode of The Moth yesterday - http://themoth.org/posts/stories/wall-of-sound

It's a short story from the creator of the show based on her time in prison. Worth the listen.

Have watched 3 episodes so far. Good show, keeps ya entertained.

Regina Spektor is kind if awesome, very good stuff give her older stuff a whirl.

Just finished the season....like most itt, I loved it. The character development over the season was incredible. With how big the recurring cast is the show still gave proper time for every character to grow and gave us insight to them. Heck, even Pornstache had a moment where we think 'this guy isn't so bad'.

Poussey stood out to me as awesome, and I loved the her/taystee friendship scenes. My favorite stuff of the season was probably the scared straight stuff, pure gold.


2 questions!

1. Why is Tiffany Doggett called "Pennsatucky"? I must have missed that explanation, I actually assumed it was her last name until late in the season.

2. Why do people hate Jason Biggs/think he's so bad at acting? I thought he was fine/good in this.

because of the way she talks ,its what you call the redneck part of virginia - pennsylvania

yeah, I had no idea that was a "thing". According to google, its pennsyltucky, but yeah, I'd never heard of it

It is used to describe the vast wasteland between Philly and Pittsburgh, and relates that area to Kentucky. Leave Virginia out of this.

Thinking back on it a few days after finishing, the scene where Taystee explains how hard it was out of prison/how at least inside she knows what's what and has the basic needs (bed, food) met stands out as a highlight for me. Obv have heard of this being a pretty common thing -- inmates who get out and can't successfully re-enter society and end up committing some (oftentimes and hopefully) petty crime just to get back in, but I thought the scene was a great and really poignant illustration of that.

Ya its amplified because Taystee and Puse are usually just very happy and serve as comedic relief on the show and then you see them both get very serious.

One thing bugged me and its just a nit. In the kitchen there is a bigass full kniferack on the wall and when Mendez and Red are talking she has a very lethal looking knife she is chopping up food with and they go ape**** over a missing screwdriver when anyone could go to the kitchen and grab one of these knives..

I am assuming they have a similar way of checking to make sure all the knives are there(although Red somehow has access to that place 24/7 because she tried to sabotage the hispanic ladies in the middle of the night). I just try to suspend belief in these situations.

Not to mention a kitchen knife would be pretty hard to hide consistently.

I'm a fan after three episodes.

First one was probably the weakest.
