OITNB Season 4 discussion ***WITH SPOILERS***

228 replies

A discussion thread for those of us with no self control at all, who have finished OITNB S4.

What was your favourite moment from the series?

What are you most looking forward to from season 5?

honey didn't Nicki take drugs in season one or two?

AndYourBirdCanSing · 20/06/2016 19:05

Yes I'm sure she took drugs in season one? Or two. I remember Red reacting to it anyway in her usual calm manner Grin I do like Red

tribpot · 20/06/2016 19:13

I don't understand Nicky's claim to have been clean for 3 years, she was high before she went to max, Red had cut her out of the family as a result. Unless we were meant to know she wasn't serious about her sobriety if she was even lying to NA, but with no plot reminders at all it certainly came off more like a shift in the timeline that never actually happened.

The death really was dreadful - poor Suzanne is just a walking disaster zone (not saying it was her fault of course, any more than the boy's death which she's presumably in prison for). The attempts by the owners to blame it on Poussey and the justification for killing people in Afghanistan were some of the most chilling moments of TV I've ever seen. So grim.

Oh yes, of course she was!

The Afghanistan comments were just sickening.

I finished now, I am so sad about Poussey :(

I cried a lot at that. And Taystee when she ran out the press conference and shouted "they didn't even say her name!!!"

I think at the start of next season Dayanara will have the gun yanked off her by Gloria and then be pinned on the floor by the dickhead prison officer.

Was the insinuation that caputo slept with the old woman prison warden who gave him a blowie in season 2?

LadyStarkOfWinterfell · 20/06/2016 20:23

Yes they were shagging all through season 3

Queenbean · 20/06/2016 20:44

Yeah but was the insinutation that he cheated on Linda from purchasing with her which is why he had scratches over him when she was putting make up on him for the interview?

I quite fancy Caputo.... Blush

Scarydinosaurs · 20/06/2016 20:55

queen I heard that as "they didn't even say HIS name"? As in, he's got away with it?

I felt so sad when she smiled at the end. What an amazing actress to convey such a complex and charming character.

Yeah, he went over to see Fig, she was pissed, and then the scratches appeared.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Taystee is a fabulous actress.

I just googled it Dinosaurs - she said "her" name - I assume because the emphasis was so much on how the prison guard wasn't at fault, rather than paying homage to the dead girl

ArrestedDevelopment · 20/06/2016 21:53

The mouse and fly thing was horrifying but wouldn't you choose the flies rather than a alive mouse?
I still feel sick thinking about it

AndYourBirdCanSing · 20/06/2016 22:05

Yes Arrested! You really would think so wouldn't you.

Sort of regretting binge watching now, as I always do

AndYourBirdCanSing · 20/06/2016 22:05

And yes Taystee is fabulous

Arrested when she was telling Flaca (was it Flaca? I forget) about it, she never said she chose the mouse. What did she say she would in their original hypothetical conversation? I wouldn't put it past him to make her do the mouse for his own amusement.

OP posts:
ArrestedDevelopment · 20/06/2016 22:11

Honey yes she said she would choose the mouse and suck it down like a jellybean instead of the flies wings getting stuck on her teeth in the conversation beforehand

tribpot · 20/06/2016 22:16

I thought she'd told Flaca when they played their game it would be like a jelly bean. She definitely told Flaca it wasn't like a jelly bean when she did it Envy

gaggiagirl · 20/06/2016 22:27

I'm so sad about poussey. I'm sad about the way the guards treated Suzanne, getting made to fight. That was horrible.

tribpot · 20/06/2016 22:29

God yes, I'd actually forgotten how awful that fight scene was. I want to send Amnesty International into that prison.

ArrestedDevelopment · 20/06/2016 22:34

Has anyone watched 'Oz' the tv prison series?
That really is grim watching and you hate the guards throughout as to the nasty degrading things they do.
The acting is superb and you root for the inmates

SpikeWithoutASoul · 20/06/2016 23:12

Just finished. Don't think I've ever cried so much at a tv programme. Awful.

honeysucklejasmine · 21/06/2016 03:00

Yes, you're right about the jelly bean! This is what happens when you binge watch with a four month old.

Gosh, Gaggia the fight scene... that was just awful. Man, Humphrey needs to die. I just don't want Daya to do it.

OP posts:
gaggiagirl · 21/06/2016 07:15

arrested massive Oz fan here too!

This season there seemed to be a lot of issues with consent. Nichols would not leave what's her face alone despite being told NO on many occasions. Judy gave luschek no choice but to have sex with her. Grim.

jay55 · 21/06/2016 08:01

Agreed about not wanting it to be Daya who does it. Dammit Netflix making me worry about fictional people for months.

Scarydinosaurs · 21/06/2016 08:08

Is Oz on Netflix??

What else can I watch now I've finished OITNB? I'm signed off sick at the moment and need something to keep me busy!

Queenbean · 21/06/2016 09:14

Dinosaurs I really enjoyed How To Get Away With Murder and also Pretty Little Liars. The former is only 1 season but really easy and enjoyable watching, the latter has a very healthy 6 seasons with about 16 episodes each Grin
