I'm not hating on Piper either, though I can see why people might not find her likeable.

Now waiting for the next season.

Piper isn't a character who really moves me either way. Sometimes she annoys me, sometimes I like her.

Honestly, the only character I really loathe is Alex, and I'm overjoyed to know that she won't be around much this season.

AMS,

Apparently she will return FT if a third season is given to the show. Ugh.

Renewed for Season 3

Almost 4 wks until the premiere, I am worried about some of their pilot bookings though.

The premiere did not disappoint. It was just excellent!

Taylor Schilling was spectacular and gave her best performance. IMO she did not stand out last year at all, she was overshadowed by several others, but she finally shined in this one. The scene on the plane was outstanding and remarkably done in one sweeping take w/no cuts. I was in awe. So well done.

"You have to take that molest me daddy voice and go some place else right now"

"F-ck you, menopause"

"F-CK YOU, GI Jane Doe"

THANK GOD this show's back. I adore it. That is all!

And F-CK YOU, Alex. I just knew she'd turn.

Can't wait to binge watch and see the rest of the Litchfield crew!

PS what time were y'all born?

Great episode. I just love this show.

UGH ALEX!

I was crying when home girl was up on her telling her that she needed to know the time.

I DIED at that part. What in the living hell?! LOLS

I actually wasn't crazy about the first episode (which is all I've seen so far). As a friend said, now that we know and love the supporting cast, the Piper/Alex story just isn't interesting anymore (though I never really cared anyway). I was really disappointed in the fact that they were the only regular characters in the entire episode, especially after being so excited to see my three fave cast members, Uzo Aduba, Taryn Manning, and Danielle Brooks added to the opening credits.

If this was just a means to tie the story up so that the rest of the season can focus more on the Litchfield gang, then I'm fine with it.

OMGGGGGGG, it dragged so damn much! All she kept saying was where was she going? Why was she leaving? Is Pennsatucky dead? I get that not knowing was hard on her but god.

Con Air was hilarious. The second half of S2 E1 was better and then its way better period E2 and on.

Alex & Piper are the absolute worst.

That's exactly what it is. I'm on episode 7 and I can't get enough.

So I just finished the season….I absolutely adored it and I think it was just as good if not better (probably better) than season 1. I will post more on it tomorrow!

I finished late last night, and the season finale was awesome!

After watching the full season, I can honestly say that the show could survive with Alex and even Piper. The main story arc that starts in the second episode and resolves in the last episode (maybe), hardly involved Piper and it was a great story involving so many of the other characters. If Piper were to finish her sentence and leave, I could see the show surviving without her.
