I made a gifset of bb!Suzanne, a picspam of my top 10 characters and a few misc icons from season 2. :)

Also I'm so late to this post it's not even funny. We watched season 2 right when it aired and I meant to participate in the discussion here and then I forgot, oops.

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.

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

Re: 2x01: Thirsty Bird

[eevilalice]

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!

Re: 2x02: Looks Blue, Tastes Red

I really loved this episode! I loved getting Taystee's backstory.
It was so sad too.
I like getting to see how smart she really is, and how she got into the situation that she's in now.
I really like Taystee.

Re: 2x02: Looks Blue, Tastes Red

I LOVED this episode! Taystee is one of my favorites so getting her backstory was awesome. I know Vee is probably going to end up screwing everyone over but I am very intrigued by the Vee-Taystee relationship. It'll be interesting to see how things change for Taystee with Vee inside now. I also really liked how they balanced the screen-time in this episode.

Re: 2x02: Looks Blue, Tastes Red

Mostly I can't forget Big Boo with the dog and peanut butter. !

Great ensemble episode. I found myself thinking, "Good for you!" re: Pennsatucky getting her new teeth, despite what she tried to do to Piper. And that little conversation between her cronies was nice.

The job fair was a treat and offered some great moments for a bunch of characters, especially during the resume bit. I like that Taystee could still celebrate over the $10 for her account. And the Taystee-ness generally! I'd read about Vee a bit before watching but didn't realize she'd be coming to the prison (though I should have been able to figure that out).

Red's son was cool to see. It's coming down on all sides for her now. The old lady inmates were fun; I'd never thought about what it must be like for older women in prison.

2x03: Hugs Can Be Deceiving

Re: 2x03: Hugs Can Be Deceiving

[lostdragonfound]

Piper returns to Litchfield!
The back story on Suzanne was sad.
I hate how Vee is manipulating her, but at the same time it's nice that someone is at least pretending to care about her.
I liked seeing that it was Suzanne that punched out Piper, making her fight with the other inmate look like a fair one, though that wasn't her intention at all.

Re: 2x03: Hugs Can Be Deceiving

[eevilalice]

I knew Suzanne's backstory would kill me. :( I did NOT see that twist coming that she hit Piper. I think she may also have saved Piper by distracting her from her rage; maybe Piper would really have killed Pennsatucky if that hadn't happened.

Vee and Red I did not see coming either.

Oh, Brook, you're the new Piper!

2x04: A Whole Other Hole

Re: 2x04: A Whole Other Hole

[lostdragonfound]

This episode was so good. The Morello flashbacks were so surprising to me. That she's a delusional stalker who only had one date with Christopher was so surprising to me. Especially considering the kind of freedom she's given in her prison job. One she took advantage of in this episode to break into Christopher's home and take a bath in his bride to be's veil. It was so crazy and so often she seems so normal, nice and sane. But she is seriously delusional.

I hate the how Vee is creating cracks in the order of things here. Though it makes for great story. She's such a trouble maker and I feel so bad for Poussey, who is just so nice.

Piper is turning really mean this season, not that I blame her, but damn. She really did try to pimp a girl out for a blanket. Then again Soso is pretty annoying. Then again she's not all that different from how Piper was when she first got to prison.

2x05: Low Self Esteem City

Re: 2x05: Low Self Esteem City

[lostdragonfound]

Gloria's backstory made me so sad :(
I was kind of hoping that she had killed that dude that beat her, but of course that was unlikely considering the whole minimum security prison thing. I'm glad he got his in the end. You don't fuck with the Orishas ;)

Cupoto on bass in a band was kind of cute, and it's sad that he actually seems to care about the prisoners. Sad because it doesn't seem to matter, because he still can't get things done. He's still kind of creepy though.

Vee continues to claw her way to power. This doesn't seem like it's going to end well.

Also Baby Daddy guard is not very subtle with his attentions toward and protection of Daya. Though I love his good intentions. I can't see that ending well either.

Valentines' Day and Poussey Flashbacks!

And what the hell Larry????!!!

2x07: Comic Sans

Thoughts, Feelings, etc...

Re: 2x07: Comic Sans

[lostdragonfound]

Okay, even more what the hell Larry???!!!

This time we got background on Cindy, which was sad and a little interesting.
We have the girls pushing Bennett too far and him in turning being a total ass.

Vee continues to shake things up and is building her contraband ring while Red is doing her own new thing with the greenhouse bringing in benign but useful/fun things in.

And that poor older woman getting basically kicked to the curb on "compassionate release".

This was kind of an extra downer of an episode!

2x08: Appropriately Sized Pots

Re: 2x08: Appropriately Sized Pots

[lostdragonfound]

I really liked getting Rosa's backstory.
She really was a bank robber and her men really did keep dying on her (at least 2 of them did anyways).
And Susan was fired!
OMG!!!! Pornstache!!! He's such a horrible person, but entertaining.
I can't see this being good for Daya and Bennett though.
I can't see this being a good thing for Red either, or any of the inmates really.

2x09: 40 OZ of Furlough

Re: 2x09: 40 OZ of Furlough

[lostdragonfound]

He's back! The return of Pornstache!
Yet, it's Bennett who starts going all crazy on everyone.
Oh man I wish he had listened to Daya and waited until to spill that news, and seriously, eventually they'll do a paternity test and it will prove not to me Pornstache's, right?

Piper is on furlough and it looks like Red's place back home is out of business and her family has been lying to her.

I really liked seeing the background stuff between Vee and Red too.

Re: 2x10: Little Mustachioed Shit

[lostdragonfound]

So, does Pornstache actually think that the baby is his, or is he fucking with them? What was with that wink he gave Bennett? It was kind of awesome and horrible that he did everything that Daya kind of wishes Bennett would do.

That was sad about Piper lying to Red about her business back home, but I'm not sure how much good the truth would have done either.

Vee is shaping up to be pretty horrible. Poor Poussey. And that whole picking on Rosa thing too? What the hell? People are getting extra mean.

2x11: Take a Break from Your Values

Re: 2x11: Take a Break from Your Values

[lostdragonfound]

wow.

Feelings jar. Piper is going to be transferred.
Piper probably did the right thing lying on the stand because while Alex is out, the head dealer guy is too and he's not happy and she's in danger.
Big Boo all alone.
And that woman was going to kill Vee, but shanked the wrong woman!!!???? Who did she get?

Oh and Polly and Larry??? Yeah, I'm sure that's going to work out well.
So much going on right now and only two more episodes!!!

2x12: It Was The Change

Re: 2x12: It Was The Change

[lostdragonfound]

I knew Red shouldn't have trusted Vee. Vee is bad news. She put that hit on her own foster son after doing him. That's just...ewww and ewww.

I can't believe that it doesn't occur to either Bennett or Daya that maybe a paternity test might be ordered if child support from Pornstache is ever asked for. Seriously. Not that it seems to occur to her mom either.

The storm was some crazy shit.
I'm glad that Poussey and Taystee seem to have made up though. I love their friendship.

2x13: We Have Manners. We're Polite.

Thoughts, Feelings, etc...

Re: 2x13: We Have Manners. We're Polite.

[lostdragonfound]

Oh wow!

Vee was a horrible person. Taking Suzanne under her wing like that, just to turn around and fuck her over. Master manipulator, for sure.

Rosa, having only a little while left and Morello giving her that out like that so she didn't have to die in prison, was pretty cool. Rosa hitting Vee with the van was even cooler..

I kind of feel bad for Caputo with all this shit crashing down on him with him only in charge for two days, especially with Bennett's poorly timed confession.

And Piper turning Alex in, so she'd end up back in prison? Damn.

This was a great season. I can't believe I binge watched it in like less than 32 hours.
