Piper isn't even a main character anymore That's what the creators had said. Piper was just the vehicle to tell other stories. Like her storyline was the hook and the rest of the women are the goods. They are the real story.

There were a lot of things in season 5 that made me feel like I could puke.

I'm only on the fourth episode. The highlight of this season is the male nurse. Hubba hubba

I just finished the season. I wasn't that into it at the beginning but it definitely got more interesting. I can't believe they ended it like that!!! I'm so frustrated right now. I'm guessing they are sending everyone to different prisons. I don't know how they'll do another season.

Gah! By the time I got home from work last night, we only had time to watch one episode. Hopefully I'll get home at a decent time tonight (ie, before 10pm) so we can finish the season.

This was the first time I got to watch the season right as it aired and it was AWESOME! I do have a few questions though. The count - they said that 10 were missing. They said they counted twice. But there were 10 in the underground pool, plus Pennsatucky was at the guard's house. And Chang also ran through the hole in the fence, but I assumed she was scooped up at some point?
Either way - their count should have had 11 missing, not 10. I think I just answered my own question.
There ARE 11 missing, but they are counting Caputo's girlfriend as an inmate, which means they don't know that Pennsatucky is still out there.
Since all their files were burned up, I wonder how long it will take the MCC chick to prove she is not an inmate and doesn't belong in any prison? Where did Sophia and that male nurse go? They helped the best they could with Humps, but then they basically just disappeared.
Maureen was looking super bad - she had infections in her face and on her gown. Why wasn't the nurse trying to treat those? Why wasn't anyone watching the room? They were just coming and going as they pleased and the nurse didn't even come back to check on Humps at any point.
It just seems weird to introduce this character and then revisit their 'area' (med unit) but the character is only there for an episode or two. I also didn't see Sophia in any of the lines for buses, either.

Piper isn't even a main character anymore This is why I keep watching Me too. I never thought I would dislike someone more than Nancy on Weeds, but I do! Self-absorbed, privileged, has to put herself in the middle of everything, know it all.

bbgirl , I haven't finished fully yet. I think we're on E12, but unless things changed, I have answers, somewhat, to questions #3. {Spoiler}Sometime in episode 4 or 5 maybe, Sophia left the medical unit and walked out to the front line and was sent to max by the guards outside the prison. The bald one that was kind of a dick to Pisscatella. She said something about wanting to see her friends to the nurse & then just peaced out.
The male nurse hung out for a while, but then the meth heads kidnapped him in E9 or 10 to have him transplant the stripper guard's finger onto the blond's hand to replace the one that Pensatucky shot off. However, they lock him in Poo, but then Gloria puts all the other guards in Poo and he's not there, so I'm not sure where exactly he is. Maybe he escaped when whomever let the other guards out? I haven't gotten that far yet.

It actually really annoyed me that they spent so much time on Alex and Piper in Ep 12. There are others characters back stories I'd rather see/hear about.

Haven't read because I'm on Ep 7 but I have some questions. I watched the last season while I was sleep deprived and nursing a newborn so my memory of that time is crap.
What happened to the other CO/counselor? The older guy? Heely? I remember him walking into a lake or something.
Daya's baby. Wasn't she taken away when that guy got arrested? Did Daya's mom/other hoochie chick get her back?

Did Daya's mom/other hoochie chick get her back? I'm almost positive Heely checked himself into a mental institution at the end of last season. He turned Lottie in then checked in. It's possible I'm confusing things though. Daya's baby got put into foster care when that guy (her stepdad?) got arrested ETA: the baby with them now is hoochie chick/stepdad's baby together

Daya doesn't know, right?

Just finished. I have a lot of feels but can't summarize right now. The last minute was so powerful. I need to stop watching at work and crying. This was definitely one of the better seasons. It had a very Lord of the Flies feeling and was overall pretty captivating. Now to wait an entire year for the next season

I just finished E11. Every scene with Susan is heartbreaking on so many levels and hard for me to watch.

I'm only about halfway through but I don't really care about spoilers. The tone of this season is really off for me. The show has always mixed dark humor with truly dark or serious themes, but this season I could either not even tell if something was supposed to be funny, or I could tell it WAS supposed to be funny but it was just not working because the tone was off. Examples: multiple different references to mass shootings in the first episode. I get what they were going for, didn't work for me. People IRL are not that flip with any of these events in my experience. And I found it confusing. If you think a guard is going to start a mass shooting event, why is everyone so casual about it? The guard talent show. I think they were going for legit humor here, but ick. These people were forced to do this at gunpoint. I can't compartmentalize that enough to enjoy a strip tease. Was I supposed to? I don't know. I can't read the fucking tone this season.

I think in the last episode one of the women who had been guarding and mistreating the guards said to her friend "don't make me question the mixed morality of the situation" that really summed up my feels on the whole season
