I'm not even sure that's a female. :shudder:I love that you felt the need to clarify 'not the old one with the mustache'. Ha.Did anyone else notice how hot the Asian prisoners were in the WAC episode? Not the old lady with the mustache, I mean the young ones in the campaign speech scene.
Agree. I thought that was a really good scene. I think the scenes with Crazy Eyes are usually very very good.
In the scene with Tricia, I believe he stated that someone "on the outside" paid her drug bill up to a point in the past. So presumably he's getting the real market rate.
Her plan was definitely contrived. They did not think through the DNA aspect completely, however, the thinking was that if she had a rape kit done by the medic right after intercourse, the semen would be tested and be Mendez's, so then they wouldn't think to test the baby 9 months later. However, there weren't really that many ways out of her jam. IIRC, conjugal visits are for married prisoners only, and solely at the warden's discretion. If anyone could get one, surely Larry and Piper would have had one by now. Her best shot was a visit outside the prison, but that failed.
yeah, wasnt sure about the Conjugal thing, but with the prison not even caring when there was a rape accusation against a guard who was caught having sex with an inmate, doubt they would have made a big fuss about a new inmate giving birth 10 months after being incarcerated or whatever. Either way, I was just rolling my eyes from the previous episode where Tricia OD'd and the prison warden never bothered to check over the video footage of her last minutes and seen Mendez force her to stay in that room. For a show that gets as much near unanimous praise as this show gets, these kinds of Dexter like plot contrivances are silly.Sarnoff said:
Yeah, so his golden plan was to have Tricia sell it to other inmates and have her keep a listing of who their outside contact was and all? Makes no sense, also wasnt Tricia homeless, doubt she had anyone paying hundreds or thousands of bucks for her prison drug habit.Sarnoff said:
Oh, for sure, the lack of video cameras in this prison always seems to strain disbelief. I get that they say "well, we're underfunded, so we don't have any", but, to me, that's just handwaving at an obvious problem the writers have chosen to ignore. It somewhat reminds me of watching Seinfeld reruns, when you realize every episode would be 3 minutes long if they all had cellphones.
Seinfeld ran from 1989-1998, cell phones didn't really become extremely commonplace until 1997/98. You may as well have said that the bar in Cheers should've had more flatscreens.
I've always wondered about how people pay for drugs in prison, but they obviously have some kind of way to get it done.
Don't think hard drugs are circulating through prisons everywhere for snickers' bars. People outside pay the debts. Don't imagine it's easy but a loyal clientele.
of course, even Breaking Bad had some incredibly hard to believe things happen like Train episode, but as viewers we tend to pick out the logical flaws of the shows we really like. I enjoyed this show and would for sure watch future seasons. The only thing that really bothered me was Healy allowing Chapman to possibly get killed, no matter what happened between the two of them, that was asinine to believe he would resort to that.
I totally bought it. That guy had some serious issues.biggamer3 said:
I could shave my chest and take a picture of it for you if you would like. I think it would be comparable.
Surprising. I wonder what happened. It was a good role for her. I doubt she's getting better offers these days.
Wow. That's a pretty major blow. Alex' chemistry with Piper was so great for the show, and her scenes with Nicky were great too.
I thought Sophia's wife was great. Some great acting in the little they gave her to do.
Like Downton Abbey don't understand why these actors can just walk. SNL is notorious for long contracts that don't pay all that much. Although I do imagine they pay a more then Netflix. These shows are a bolt of lightning to these actors. Not saying it should be the 1950's again where they are stuck forever but how do you manage to get out after one season?Wow. That's a pretty major blow. Alex' chemistry with Piper was so great for the show, and her scenes with Nicky were great too.
I wonder what the reason is. It's hard for me to imagine Pepron having something bigger going on right now.
this plus 100. I seriously loved almost every single character on the show with the exception of Alex. She just came off so fake to me as if she was trying too hard in her acting. Either way her story is basically over from Piper's perspective, dont want any more silly drama with Piper having to choose between Fiance and the woman who snitched on her.
Alex by herself isn't all that interesting, but her intetactions with Piper were great.
Netflix probably couldn't afford to offer multi-year guaranteed-option contracts to "name" actors like Laura Prepon. If she got a network show offer, she'd have to be able to walk or they never would have landed her in the first place. You say she's not "a draw", but she's an established actor. She was on 2 years of the ABC drama that followed Grey's Anatomy, then she was the lead & title character of an NBC sitcom last season. OitNB helped her career even more, and I imagine she has even better offers now.
Not sure about the budget for Orange but Netflix is right up there with any cable network. Cards was costing them about 50M, that is big league payments in the HBO range.
Never understood that either. I was thinking maybe the dog just visited, but I have no idea.shadyridr said:
I believe that it is part of a dog training program that they have in some prisons. The inmates work to help train service dogs.shadyridr said:
rangedot: this. I'm planning to start watching it after football season.
The more people subscribe to watch these shows, the more money they make. That being said theyre probably losing a ton of money right now. Its an investment
That's what I'm thinking. Who's subscribing to Netflix just for these shows? I'm subscribing because of the hundreds or thousands of others, and did so even before they had their own shows. I'm loving the extra show that I'm getting (and loving) for no additional money - I'm just trying to figure out what's in it for them.
Its gonna take time and alot more shows. Theyre trying to start a whole new format for tv shows. As word of mouth increases about these shows more and more people will subscribe. At least thats their plan. Maybe people wont sign up for just two shows but eventually when they have 10 new shows and word of mouth starts getting out that these shows are great the subscriber list will expand dramatically.
Laura Prepon will not be series regular on Season 2. But will come back for a few episodes to resolve her story line
