I thought the running references to the shootings were a commentary on the amount of mass shootings in our country. That if you ask a room to name a mass shooting, every single person might have a different choice. I didn't think it was a joke. Maybe I read that wrong.

I think the show has always made a point of showing that they are people beyond their crimes. I think this season really focused on that by showing the disparity with their stories compared to how they are treated by guards, riot officers, etc. Set alongside of the juxtaposition of them acting like criminals during the riot, I think it was meant to be a difficult season. I don't know where the viewer is supposed to land morally.

I didn't think it was a cliffhanger. I don't think they're killing anyone. There's no guard in there. The gun is on the ground. They're all main characters. I think they're just taking them down.

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. Is it really a cliffhanger though? 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

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? {Spoiler}So they showed his 'lover' getting hurt. The assumption is the person he killed, the one Red found out about and wants his head for, is the one who hurt the lover. Now, there was also a deleted scene that makes me feel a little bad for Pisc. The lover and him got matching tattoos on their wrists with the other's initials. After he finds his lover injured in the shower, he notices that the tattoo is just marker. It just further beat home the point that everyone he has ever cared for has hurt him. He trusts no one. He has no one. Talks about deleted scene - hellogiggles.com/piscatella-orange-is-the-new-black-deleted-scene/?utm_campaign=socialflowfacebook&utm_source=Social&utm_medium=Facebook

That if you ask a room to name a mass shooting, every single person might have a different choice. I didn't think it was a joke. Maybe I read that wrong. This. It was more a sad point that there are SO MANY that every person could easily have a different mass shooting that immediately comes to mind. What I thought was interesting, although I admit I can't remember all the references at the moment, was they didn't actually say any where someone with credentials to possibly have a gun or had 'power' (cop/military/security guard) entered their work space and shot it up. For example, Ft. Hood (Nidal Hasan). I swear there is another recent-ish mass shooting similar to that but it is escaping me at the moment. I guess you could count the Ft. Lauderdale Airport mass shooting, since the suspect had military credentials and declared his gun, but the airport was not his work place. There was also a similar incident at Fort Bragg, but it happened 20 years ago and recency bias indicates most of the viewing audience probably doesn't even know about it. ETA: I think I was remembering the Washington Navy Yard mass shooting in 2013, although the perpetrator did not work there.

I assume that was the inmate that he killed and he didn't get to go back to the prison to see his Bf again. There are a lot of other backstories that I feel like leave us truly hanging. I thought his was pretty wrapped up.

Uzo Adubo (Suzanne aka Crazy Eyes) was amazing this season. She constantly proves herself to be an amazing actress.
SPOILERS
I thought Tastee was great too but dang she was frustrating me during negotiations at the end. I knew they had to let it build so the whole thing ended up fucked up, but I agree with Black Cindy's sentiment that it became more about her pride.
I agree that Gloria's fate might be sealed.
Ugh to the time wasted on Piper and Alex at the end. I do not care about their unhealthy relationship.

Huh, I did not make the connection between the guy and the shower and the guy Piscatella killed so thank you lol
I didn't find the mass shooting references to be misplaced. This whole show is uncomfortable and full of dark humor. One of the 'nazi' people who made one of the comments killed a bunch of people with poison in coffee. Like, of course she would make a joke about mass shootings. I don't think they were meant to get the audience laughing, they were meant to get you to think and reflect. I don't know, I'm having trouble writing what I feel about it.

I loved the young Red flashbacks. She's one of my favorites.

Guys, I get what the writers were trying to do with the mass shooting references. It just didn't work for me. It felt like they wanted to cram that in to make their point, but it didn't reflect how people would really act in that type of situation to me. The writers thought it was a neat idea, and maybe it could have been? But execution was all wrong. The writing on this show is often really poor or heavy handed IMO, and this particular bit was an early example of something that just didn't work for me.

Like, while I'm complaining, the running commentary on cell phones. "What did we do before we had these!? Oh, I guess we talked to people!" That fresh take on a hot issue was brought to you by the writers of OITNB and everybody's grandma.

She only has like 3 or 4 months left hopefully she get released mid next season, so we have a season and a half with out her. I know this is an older post, but if Pipwr only has 3-4 months left, they could do 100 more seasons. If they do seasons where only 2-3 days are passing Piper will be there the whole time.
