Re: Orange Is the New Black (Netflix) -- Season 2 Discussion Thread (6/6/2014)
I just finished watching the season after plowing through a few episodes a day all this week. I really enjoyed it, but I think i'd put it equal to season 1 because of some of the reasons mentioned above about not really having any particular high points in the story that really griped me the way the first season did.

Random thoughts...

Spoiler:

-Agree with the mentions about the storm and the fraud stuff not having as big of an effect as I expected to the overall plot.
-Vee vs everyone was a nice threat, but I got bored of the back and forth by the end and was glad she was finally gone. I just got tired of her character and everyone around her, as well as the Taystee/Poussey stuff.
-As nice as it was to not focus on Piper, I think the show was missing a little something from it. I kind of missed the naive girl out of place in prison story, but I understand they had to move on. I just didn't like that it moved on to the crap with Polly/Larry.
-Loved the backstory on Lorna. I never expected that at all, and they did a great job. I really liked the little moment with her and Piper too, and how Piper said she was the first person that was nice to her. I always liked her character, so I thought it was interesting to see how crazy she was.
-I agree that Rosa being hispanic threw me off too, as she also seemed eastern european. I thought her backstory was silly, but loved how it played out in the cancer treatment.
-Caputo was fantastic.
-Ending with the van was goofy, but it worked for me.

Just binged S1 and S2. One of my most favorite shows ever. Still can't get over Lorraine Toussaint being a bad girl after seeing her in Now and Then. She nails it.

There was something very Velma from Scooby-Doo about her astrology cell mate.

It took me an hour to convince my mother that wasn't Ellen Degeneres on the plane.

That was Kit from A League Of Their Own on the plane

He was also the cop who takes Shane under his wing in Weeds.

And since I only started watching the show a week ago, I have to comment on Yoga Jones being Patti Mayonnaise's voice. As I was first watching I had to pause and look it up , very recognizeable.
The actress was in a coma after an accident She's better now and attended the Emmys.

Just in time for the Emmy's to rule it ineligible as a comedy, they push it as a full comedy

They keep getting richer, now they finally got their picture on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Hey, Kacey Musgraves! Cool! I love Kacey.

Sorry.

Season 3 is dropping on June 12th and is 14 episodes long (1 more than previous seasons). Nice!

We need a Season 3 thread for this.

I know the rules for weekly shows is no new thread for the latest episode until it's the same day as broadcast. But what are the rules for creating a single "complete season" thread for a streaming show like this in which all of the season's episodes are available on the same day? Can that thread be created early or does it have to wait until the day the season drops?

Something that has bugged me for a while -- for the sake of helping discussion flow better, is it against forum rules to have individual threads for each episode?

I know when we get "season drops" I typically avoid the forum since I know people are bingeing faster than I am. If we had individual episode discussions I think we would have more/better discussion.

Good point. And given that this Season 2 thread is only 4 pages long, is that due to the show not having many fans here? Or maybe just having one thread for the whole season stifles discussion because viewers aren't on the same episode at the same time.

Maybe instead of just 1 whole season thread or 14 separate episode threads, maybe have 2 half-season threads (episode 1-7 and then episodes 8-14)? Or some other way to split it up?

I think they did a split up for House of Cards that wasn't the biggest hit.

For the first season of House of Cards I think it was split into three or four episode threads.

I'd like to see individual threads. Some people will burn through the whole season, quickly, while others will take their time. If you don't go quickly, you may as well stay out of an all encompassing thread until you're done, or there's too big a risk of spoilers.

Basically it's like: "Look at this! Print doesn't sell anymore, please buy this magazine!"
And
"Here's what the magazine's original purpose was."

Yes, we tried to split episode threads into 3/4 episodes threads for HoC. That didn't work to well either. So far, spoiler tags have been used pretty effectively in the season thread. Both Season 1 and 2 of OISTB had about 6 pages or so of discussion each. The show just doesn't seem to have many fans here. Counter that by something like Daredevil which has 20, and again, spoilers were used well.

Not to mention (even though it is the summer and slow with TV), it wouldn't really be great to drop 14 new threads on the front page of the forum.
