We just finished the season last night. I really enjoyed it. There were definitely moments where the humor was cringe inducing, but I think it was supposed to be, if that makes sense? Taystee was ah.may.zing this season.
We binge watched the 4th season just before this new one was released so we could remember all the little things that happened leading up to this. Season 4 was exceptionally dark. For me, the levity in the first half of this season was very welcome, but I could see how it might come off as slow moving or not interesting if someone hadn't just binged the previous episodes.

First, I cannot believe how much Daya's "younger self" looks like her. It's her IRL daughter. I had to google her to find out. I couldn't figure out what was different about her, but I knew it was someone different because of her shape.

I started to give up around season episode 6 and it started to get better.

I really enjoyed the season. I think it was a good reminder that these are hardened criminals. Not all, but a lot. And I think the guard roundup, the talent show, and the mass shooting comments show that well. It was meant to be disturbing I think and bring us back to the fact that they are not innocent people.

Just finished the season last night. I was brought to tears several times during this season (mostly the last half of it). But the separation of Flaca and Maritza in the last episode just about sent me over the edge!

I couldn't figure out what was different about her, but I knew it was someone different because of her shape. Woah, ok. I could not figure out what they had done. She looked so much like Daya but there was definitely something not right. I thought they had put a fake nose on her but I knew there was more than that.

Ha that's awesome that her daughter had a cameo. I was wondering how they found someone who looked so much like her, as well.

It even sounds just like her

I just finished episode 8 last night. Definitely getting better after the halfway point. {Spoiler}1. Danielle Brooks deserves all the Emmys. She is consistently amazing but she is really bringing it this season. 2. Gloria is also giving me the feels, the stuff with her son was heartbreaking. 3. I really hate Leann and Angie. Between what they did when they had the gun and what they're doing to Pennsatucky... I don't like it. Not that Pennsatucky helping Coates was smart either, but I feel like Leann/Angie are putting her in some real danger. 4. I feel like even Alex is getting close to done with Piper's BS. 5. Boo's Saved by the Bell defense was completely random and I loved it.

I just finished today I don't get the whole Sophia thing. I heard her say she wanted to visit a friend in max or whatever, but I thought that was code for she wanted to get back at a guard or something. Either way, I'm disappointed they didn't show her again.
I could see most of the main characters just happening to get sent to the same prison. My guess is Flacka got on the written-off bus.
I was also really bothered by the count being off. But I guess if Cho got picked up + the extra head being Linda, then it makes sense.
I was on pins and needles toward the end thinking all the main characters were going to be trapped down there in a blazing inferno, but nope, not at all. Oh, and fuck Maria. I hope she gets sent back and has to face Gloria.

jewel Yes - that is exactly it. I was going to respond but I am stupid and cannot figure out how to spoiler it.

I really liked this season. It was very uncomfortable - and that was the point. Danielle Brooks deserves all of the awards. Suzanne's story line continues to haunt me.

I think I did this spoiler thing right? {Spoiler}I really hate that they just dropped the nurse story line - he gets locked in the "poo" and then...nothing? They lost continuity for me with that.

Just stayed up until almost 2 AM to finish the season, which I did not expect. Second half was really amazing. I am pissed at the cliffhanger though.

I am here to echo that Danielle Brooks is amazing. She was so powerful and gave me chills more than once.

We know there's no way after accidentally shooting Piscatella that those guys are going to go in there blazing before thinking. I'm sure they'll all make it out (somewhat) alive

So Piscatella got his feelers hurt and that's why he's a total fucking asshole?!?!

NVM it's probably more than that. The risks of live blogging.

I wish they would have had more resolution with Piscatella. You see him in love with that guy, the shower scene and then he's scalping red. Not really much more to the story. Did his locked up bf die? Did he kill the guy in the shower? What happened?

They do talk about it though - I think they said that it happened, there was an investigation, he was cleared but let go by that prison. I doubt he'd be let back in there for visits.

On Ep 10 right now. I've been so focused on how awesome Danielle Brooks has been this season, I have been overlooking Uzo Aduba, who has also been bringing it.
