OH, my goodness, Lorraine Toussaint! She was absolutely magnificent throughout the whole season. What a genius arc & story! Red vs Vee rocked so damn hard. I am in awe. Kudos to this wondrous ensemble of a cast and writing team. It was a joy to watch.

Uzo, Danielle, Samira, Vicky & Adrienne were all stars. I really loved seeing their characters shine this season especially Cindy; I was pleasantly surprised they highlighted her back story as a sketchy TSA agent who stole passengers items. Sometimes, I thought Poussey needed to tone it the hell down but she was very interesting throughout.

That was a breathtaking ending that I was NOT expecting! Loved Rosa's arc! What an oddly fitting ending for her. The short story w/her and the boy w/cancer was also very striking.

"Mendez is back, bitchezzzzz" I was DEAD when pornstache returned. I rewinded so many times. "SHOT!"

Oh how I love Lorna! Yael Stone has my heart. Another fantastic story, though I did not like the scene when Christopher visited. I thought that actor did a horrid, underwhelming job with such a gold mine of a scene. It was very disappointing IMO.

I thought Kaputo's journey, particularly in the last episode was very well done and a stand out. He went from being so excited to take over Fig's job to being unexpectedly consumed by the absolute cursedness of it. I can't wait to see how it all affects him next season

Larry and Polly were disgusting. WTF?? I thought that whole story w/them fell flat. I'm hoping they will be phased out next season. They're boring, trifling nobodies. Get out please

Not looking forward to seeing Alex back next season rolleyes.gif Guessing her & Piper will be all happy and f-cking around until Alex finds out she's the reason she's back in there rolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif I'LL PASS!!!

Loved Season 2! Loved it! Better than Season 1, and I love that one as well.

Everything worked - the stories, the characters, the acting. (Some scenes were a bit out of reality as far as prison rules go, but we'll overlook that one.)

Big props to Lorraine Toussaint. And much praise to the rest of the cast (I figure it would take too much time for me to name all of them).

Out with Polly/Larry!

I actually finished the season last week but havent posted my thoughts . You (AMDatGH) bumping this up has be inspired. Bare with me as I will be jumping all over the place and it'll be easier for me to touch on characters than episodes. First lets start with....

Red! I dont think I mentioend it from season 1, but I couldnt stand her ass and how she acted like she was Queen B. Maybe she was, but her attitude was so stank. Loved seeing her get knocked down a few pegs this season with everyone turning their backs on her. Ugh to her wanting to be involved in the garden club and of course it was only so she could boss around the old bitties! More on that later. She did finally come around and apologize to everyone, which I liked. One ore thing, her hair was looking tore up from the floor up! Sophia, Jesus, fix it!

I LOVE how Gloria rose to power. Gloria >>>>Red

Slutbucket. I still dont like her ass. Are we really supposed to buy into her and John's love? Poor him for being stupid enough to fall for this

Lorna. Whoa, did not think she was a friggin psycho! That ish was scary. I wondered about her story regarding Christopher. I thought he dumped her a long time ago and she was just too embarassed to say anything. Did not see her being a stalker who only went on one date with the guy and became obsessed! Why the hell isnt she in a nuthouse instead? I think its so stupid that she is even a driver and has access to drive off if she wanted to, which she did. That sh-t was crazy with her showing up in the hose
I had no idea the actress playing Sophia was a real transexual! I thought she looked manly but didnt think she was originally one. I also was shocked to learn her real life twin brother played her pre-op self on the show as I thought that was her.

I have to say her flashback episode did wonders for her character. Ive gone from hating her to being ambivalent

No matter what Ive said about, anyone, this bitch is the worse! I hate Brooke NoNo! She is so damn annoying and the worst thing about season 2. I hated how much screentime she got. Sell you for a blanket? Id sell you for a stick of gum! Girl, BYE!

LMAO, that was a good moment. Its crazy that he was brought back though. Suspension? He was caught screwing an inmate! How ridiculous that he would be placed back in the same prison
I dont hate Larry and Polly like you guys do but I do think its time to move on from them. The show really doesnt need to focus on outside the prison anymore. I have to say I was on their side in terms of hooking up. Her husband bailed on her and Piper cheated on Larry. He was single so she has no right to be angry at him for moving on, considering she's in jail and acted like the world was supposed to stop for her. Sucks it was with her best friend but I felt no sympathy for her

Their little bet was gross. I didnt find that stuff funny at all

This show can be so predictable. When we first saw her husband, I pegged him as being gay. The only surprise here is that she didnt know. I was under the assumption that she knew but that they had an arrangement bc he could boost her career.

Me too! I hope she comes back bc I hate the jerkoff for firing her. She rocked

I like Cindy but she is so damn selfish. I know a girl, just like her. Back to the show being predictable, I figured that little girl was her daughter, not her sister bc the age difference seemed so large.
tumblr_nak9qnn8S31rvctsmo1_500.gif
Whatever. Im so over Piper when it comes to Alex. Alex is a piece of sh-t. I didnt care about her story about being in danger. Piper turning her in could have been great if she did it for revenge, but it looks like she did it to protect Alex. Not looking forward to seeing another round of them
tumblr_n7m0snREq01qat4jdo3_250.gif
And finally Vee. She first came across as one scary bitch but I love how Poussey put her in her place, basically saying she's wack and is only relevant in this prison bc the big dogs on the outside were unimpressed with her. I cant beleive she f--ked her foster son and then had him killed. Who does that? Her getting hit needed to happen and how fitting that it was Rosa who ran her down for being "rude". LMAO. I wonder if she is dead though. It would be fitting if she lived but was a quadriplegic. Either way I dont see where they can go with her character so she needs to be gone.

Good for him! IMO, Christopher was more than justified. Its not like he could choke her out there so he did the next best thing which was to cut her down, make her feel like a worthless piece of trash that has no future with him. She simply doesnt get it and carrying on this fantasy that she is going to just walk right back into his life, be happy and in love while trying to get rid of his wife is crazy. He needed to make her hear that there was no hope

thanks. I knew that but got the names mixxed up. I was thinking good for her! when she stole the van and left. She was going to die anyway, so what did she have to lose?

I think Larry had more patience than most men. Most men would have dumped Piper and/or cheated on her soon after she left for jail
