Orange is the New Black: Season 3

CherryWine · 06-12-2015, 11:50 PM

We have watched 3 episodes. Feeling pretty high and dry, so far. I love Big Boo, so after reading Nat's post I have high hopes. I've heard Lea Delaria is going to have a bigger role this year. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I hope it gets better!

"Do you think that growing up with all that money was good for you?"

"in what way?"

"Like, did being a rich person make you better?"

...

Just finished ep 7 and I finally really enjoyed an episode. One thing I like is that the flashbacks often have a theme that plays out in the rest of the episode. Can't write any more. Too tired :-)

i watched the first 3 episodes and find that pipers relationship with vause gets more dysfunctional and predictable every episode..and find myself enjoying the stories of the other characters and have cried twice already, once when nicky goes "down the hill" and once when suzanne realizes vee is dead...i am hooked...but can i also say that i really hate the theme music...just my two cents

Well it appears many of you are way ahead of me...lol...I am getting there....We just watched episode two...I am enjoying the show so far. Wentworth on Netflix does get a bit more intense. I still look forward to what the rest of the season brings on Orange is the New Black*S....Have a great day everyone.

Starting to grab us; episode 4 finished last night.

What kind of confuses me is that at the end of season 2, Piper was so mad at Alex Vause getting out of prison and Piper was still in; the next thing (just about) Vause is back in and they are passionate lovers again.

Angry sex at first, yes, but then they let the anger go.

How could Piper let it go so quickly? Guilt at calling Vauses' Probation Officer about the gun? Getting Vause re-arrested?

How could Vause let her anger at getting busted because of Piper, just disappear? Because she really loves Piper? It did not seem like it last season. It appeared from the flashbacks, Piper was more of a plaything to Vause.

It just did not ring true to me though it is entertainment, not real life (as my GF likes to remind me).

What do you think about that quick turn-around?
