Spoiler!
They had to get to the Alex going free scene In ep 1, but there was no reason to spend all that time traveling to Chicago, except to fill time. And as soon as I heard that they wanted Piper to testify, I thought--"Why wouldn't her attorney try to make a deal?" I guess Alex's atty thought of that though.
Good deal of stupidity in those first two.
A) Why would you ever move inmates at night? Stupid.
B) Why would you ever put male and female inmates together? You don't. Ever... [Reply]
Moving inmates kinda makes sense if that plane was just a quick stop off to here area, but it looked like her stop was first. So that plot was merely for convenience. I think that Piper not being told was pretty unrealistic.
Some characters were being stupid this season, but I think that it is more organic than say The Walking Dead, which hits their characters with the stupid stick, just for the plot. [Reply]
My guess is making her into less of a cartoon character. My god, last season when she asked Piper "Why does everyone call me Crazy Eyes?" just broke my heart.
Black Cindy's back story was awful. Talk about a total piece of shit. First character for me to feel that way. Normally, there is something redeemable for them. [Reply]
My fiance and I have put off watching season 2 as everyone she works with said it shucks. What did you guys think of the season as a whole? I had one coworker say she thought it was better than season 1. [Reply]

I don't know if it was better, but it was very good. (just finished season 2 last night) I really liked getting all the back story on the other inmates. As they remind her often, it's not all about Piper. [Reply]

Yeah, I thought it was better mainly because there was very little Piper/Biggs. The back stories of the other inmates was entertaining and seemed to bring something new to each episode. [Reply]

We're 6 eps into season 2 and it's getting good. [Reply]

I think the people your fiance works with don't know what the eff they're talking about.
If anything, this season is BETTER... much more focus on the prison dynamic and how you survive. Not everyone has it as easy as Piper did in season 1, and they show that.
Also... super hot naked asian chick alert. [Reply]

I don't know how to apportion blame between Vee playing her like a fiddle, and mentally off Suzanne gulping it up, but after Suzanne pouring water over dying Rosa's meal to make her move when there was room to sit anywhere, mother fuck those two. [Reply]
