Orange Is the New Black (Season 1)

[Qrazy]

Okay after enough rounds of that lame ass piano riff love song between the guard and the inmate and since listening to an overweight black woman wax poetic on the importance of fried chicken on the prison menu I am now firmly in the 'this show is garbage' camp.

So, no more eps to be viewed by you? Or are you going to persevere to the end?

Clearly the latter, I have nothing else to watch before the next ep of Dexter makes me want to blow my brains out. ^_^

Cool. Settle in with some Twixt and toilet hooch and enjoy.

Might want to steer clear of the Thanksgiving gravy, tho.

There is a wonderful moment, in one of the later eps, involving Yoga Jones and...electricity. Hopefully, you will be similarly recharged the further you dive in.

On paper, I should hate this too. But, I don't know, it's kind of consistent with the show's desire to playfully analyze stereotypes and how they impact people. The actress sells it as kind of an off-the-cuff ridiculous joke. I thought it was funny.

On a different but related note the dialogue those two have when they're pretending to be white people is so out of character. I don't buy that they are well educated enough (based upon the mannerisms they've established earlier) to have that kind of ammunition (hedge funds, etc).

Why you gotta underestimate 'em?

[Gizmo]

Great series. All the characters had their own stories that mesh with the overarching story. I want to watch more, when does next season start?

[Qrazy]

Because no other conversation they've ever had hints at that level of awareness.

edit: Actually, one of them works in the library so she should have that level of awareness but that character dimension doesn't mesh with her overall demeanour.

It's weird that the Christmas pageant has dreadful acting on one hand and Broadway level singing on the other.

So ... Emmy nomination for Taryn Manning, don't you think?
