The second season of our favorite show containing over a dozen felonious strong female characters (often having sex with each other) has been released and is on Netflix. I'd post all their pictures but there are like a dozen unique, interesting, and engaging characters, so if you didn't watch the first season last time go around, watch it now and learn who they are. The main story may be about a rich white girl locked up out of her element, but the foundation of the show is the menagerie of supporting actresses and their complex interactions. Seriously it is a great show. If you are only starting now you won't have to wait six months like the rest of us for resolution to, well, anything. Nothing was resolved last season, Piper still has at least 10 months in jail, and there is one hell of a cliffhanger. A hell of a lot happens in the few months the first season covers and the main character, Piper, proves to be surprisingly dynamic. Pretty sure the rule is to just post all the spoilers you want, all 13 episodes are coming out at the same time so you can spend half a day watching all of them and getting fired for coming into work with zero sleep. I wont post any here, but I probably will so go watch the first season and then lets binge watch the new season this weekend! Stereotype fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Jun 6, 2014 |

Actually, I'd suggest possibly laying off the spoilery for maybe a week or so - some people tend to have lives outside of excellent television and might need just a little more time to catch up. (I almost wish I was one of those people. But I also don't.) edit: Okay maybe not a week, yeah that's too long. I'll give you slowpokes two days. Then I'm going to discuss like I've always discussed before. bubblelubble fucked around with this message at 11:01 on Jun 5, 2014 |

For any new people: This show is surprisingly amusing, it's also really really dumb (don't let that turn you away). The closest thing I can compare this to, is Weeds at the height of its insanity, but surprisingly grounded and better written. Of course being created by the same person naturally invites comparison. I'm stoked for season 2. Edit: piper is walt

The Christmas Pageant was really dumb, though. I don't know, it's not as bad as that quote makes out, but if you go into it expecting "Oz but with titties" you're going to be horribly disappointed.

Pennsatucky is my favourite character. It's weird watching a scene of one of the shows primary villains getting their rear end kicked and thinking "I hope they're okay". I guess she'll be getting those new teeth though.

Another hour and ten minutes right? I'm not seeing the count down anywhere on Netflix.

I don't have a countdown either. An hour-ish is about right? I guess?

Piper and Alex and Fiancee are in a fight as are the mexican girl and her CO lover, as well as Red's problems. The warden woman may be investigated for corruption, and her and the local boss are fighting. What exactly was resolved? They are all still in jail. The only plotline that was resolved was Piper's roommate, and the only reason that was resolved is because she is now going to die in Maximum security. 30 minutes left!!

Seriously I don't understand how anyone could have finished the first season and thought "Boy I sure would be content with the story ending right here, I don't need to know anything else!"

Has anyone actually read Piper Kerman's book this show is based on? I discovered and subsequently binged on this show a few months ago (and am staying up long enough to watch the first new episode, 7 minutes!) and I'm curious if the memoir is as good and/or better than the show.

It starts really soon, is anyone else watching the first episode right at release? Also they put a chicken in the countdown and i could prove it because I'm not in jail.

I know, I was being sarcastic because of that quote from the previous page that claimed there were no conflicts at all in season 1. There's tons of stuff being carried over into season 2. I can't wait to see it.

Stereotype posted:The first episode is really good, it only has piper and a little alex Yeah the focus on Taystee was a welcome shift. Third episode's shaping up well, too, and some of the new castmates are interesting. Honestly, I'm digging the focus moving away from Chapman more in the 2 and 3. Hope it keeps up.

Ok I'm in and halfway through ep 1. Interesting to see the split continues at least into ep 3. Honestly though I'd so much rather be watching Taystee right now instead of Piper.

Yah, there's still some Piper, obviously, but she has a small roll in ep2, a vague presence in ep3, and in 4 (which I'm currently on) she doesn't even show up until 14 minutes in. Speaking of, roommie assignments, this oughta be good. EDIT: Well, Morello's story is finally coming out, and wow. Old Boot fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Jun 6, 2014 |

Her friends send her a lot of books and people tease her about her books and everything is a feel good story with light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes she talks about how she deserved it for doing that one thing she did.

Going through episode 1 right now, it's great. "There ain't mountains in the Midwest, there's plains. And corn. And white people who don't vote in their best interest."

One thing this show needs is a catchup before ep 1 (or a 10 minute separate episode 0 or something). I watched the first season in pretty much 2 or 3 days when it first came out, and apart from the Pensyltucky incident I can't remember poo poo about what happened.

I love how they referenced her story in season 1 that she was in for ebay fraud Also, I'm 4 episodes in and regarding Piper, it tickles me pink that her storyline at this point is pretty much WHO TOOK MY poo poo.

I know there was a 3-4 minute episode 0 type thing that happened as soon as I clicked watch on the season 2 button on my PS3.

Oh yeah! Did it cover much more than the beating though? I remember seeing that while I was sitting down ready to watch, but nothing about any of the other characters? Maybe I need to restart that ep again and pay attention this time. D'oh! e: oops no I'm confusing myself, I saw the GIF earlier in the thread. Jeez my heads a mess today, I didn't see a catchup so I'll see if I can trigger it this time.
