Loved this season though to be honest would not have missed Larry and the best friend. They bore me but that may be just me.

Nikki I love - you know that she's that kinda fuck that's gonna make your hair curl

Vee - I know she can be sadistic but honestly her nipples would bring me to my knees, she is so fucking sexy. Beautiful woman

The ending was efing karma, but I did not see it coming...I want the next season to start like yesterday.

Me too. But I'm think we will be seeing a lot of our cast in interviews, photo shoots, etc I'm am following them on Instagram and twitter

I really liked Season 2! More so even than Season 1 and I loved the show from the start. I thought the characters were really fleshed out more, even though there were flashbacks in Season 1 as well.

I definitely also came to LOOOOOVE Poussey!!! I thought she was cute and all last season, but I really liked seeing her back story and I also just loved her character this season as well. I like her a lot as a person now. At first I was concerned that the season was going to be all about flashbacks to everyone's story and that it would get really jumbled and I wouldn't like it. And there was a great deal of time devoted to telling a lot of people's stories, but I thought there was a lot of current drama as well.

Last season I would have said my favorite characters were Alex and Crazy Eyes, but that definitely changed. Even though Alex is wicked hot, half the time I want to punch her in the face. I didn't miss her this season as much as others, I think. And Crazy Eyes, OMG it was just awful and hard to watch. I think her crazy was more sympathetic and humorous in the first season and the second season she became kind of a pathetic character. Though done VERY well, don't get me wrong.

I LOVED the ending. I thought it was fucking hilarious. I love that Piper just became more tough and has started to just really not give a fuck on a lot of levels. I love that she screwed Alex over by calling the police on her, and do look forward to Alex being back more next season. Also--Morello giving the woman with cancer (can't remember her name) the van and letting her escape was awesome and even MORE awesome was her seeing Vee walking down the road and just taking her out. I don't know why, but that just made me happy inside LOL!!!!! But I am sick like that.

Agreed that Big Boo is creepy and I have more thoughts on that, but for another time.

crazy eyes I get. I have sympathy for her. she is fiercely loyal, with no boundaries and low self concept. she was horrifically manipulated by someone skilled. I totally sympathise with her. and she is nuts. that's what happens. shes vulnerable to emotional blackmail. I don't like her any less.

Nikki could take me anywhere she wanted. seriously.

but Poussey? I'd make her breckfast in bed.

ProfPacker · 06-18-2014, 07:38 PM

I agree with both ccb and hb. I also saw Crazy Eyes within the context of a white family who really didn't get it. The scene in the hospital with the nurse doing her hair was touching but heartbreaking...white people who were color neutral. What was great about Poussey, in addition to being cute was her backbone and integrity. Rosa taking Vee out was a hallelujah moment.

One more thing...Piper didn't just cop on Alex for revenge. She wanted her in prison with her so they could be together. That move in the plot as a way to get Alex back was brilliant

I really didnt care for crazy eyes beating the crap out of people this season. When she peed on the floor last season...hilarious. All the chocolate and vanilla swirl or dandelion stuff...loved it! The beating of piper (who is annoying but has yummy moments) and poussey (who may be my favorite if I ignore how hot Alex is) was something I could have done without. I get that there is violence in the world, especially in prison, but I dont have to like seeing it. The episodes where crazy eyes was being framed for attacking red and where crazy eyes cried won me back.

All around, the acting and storyline were great. More Alex make-outs next year please.
