2x01: Thirsty Bird

Thoughts, Feelings, etc...

I liked getting a view of another prison for a bit. It was similar to how it is in the book, from what I remember. I did miss all my favorite characters though.
Piper really isn't at the top of my list.
Still a good episode though.

Same here.
Though I was a bit torn between "I want to go baaack" to "I want to know everything about these characters too". :D

OMG, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO, ALEX!!

I know, right? After she convinced her to lie in the first place?!!!

Though I guess they had to do something to keep Piper in jail and in the story. In the book (and in life) that's the point (after that trial) that Piper is released.

Ooh, I have the book on my to read list. Haven't gotten to it yet. Her 15 months were up after the trial? or they let her out early?

Re: 2x01: Thirsty Bird

I think she did about 11 months and then there was the trial and that was the final part of the deal I think and after she got let out.

In the book I don't think she had ever actually met the big dealer, so she really didn't have anything to lie about, or to help with...I read it after I watched the first season.
It's good, though I think the show is better and more interesting in a lot of ways.

It also got me to read a couple of other books on women's lives in prison, which were also interesting.

Definitely going to queue it up on my summer reading list. Any other books you can recommend?

Re: 2x01: Thirsty Bird

[lostdragonfound]

I recommend:
A World Apart: Woman, Prison and Life Behind Bars by Christina Rathbone
Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc - this one isn't as much about life inside prison but more on the generations of families in and out of prison. It reminds me a little of the situation with Daya and her mother.

Ohhh Alex.

I liked the flashbacks to Piper's childhood, being the goody-goody but learning to lie.

It was so strange being away from the prison and prison "family" we know. It made me feel disoriented, like Piper. And I'm glad Pennsatucky made it!
