OITNB S6

[Tigresswoods]

We did have a thread. It seems to have gone?!

So S6 drops on Friday. The trailer all points to "wheres Alex?" & Suzanne having a bad time.

I'm looking forward to seeing Red in action again, what about everyone else?

My guess re Alex is that she’s has turned herself in for murdering that guard/someone found out it was her. Or she’s dead- if she is, I will actually fly out to the US today and buy the producer a pint. Can’t fucking stand her. I’m guessing her abscence is due to the fact the actress had a baby and was on maternity leave when filming started/was on going who knows.

I was hoping Pen wasn’t going to be found- think she deserves some happiness. Not necessarily with Coates because he did rape her after all but love her as a character and she’s the sort of girl you want to take under your wing and make everything better for. But alas she’s in the trailer and appears to be in the prison with the others. I’m pretty sure it’s her anyway 😂

I wonder if Sophia is going to be in this series? As she went to max at Litchfield last year and that’s where piper etc are heading.

I read a review online the other day and it seems like we won’t be seeing characters like Yoga, Maritza, DeMarco etc (fringe characters if you like) this year. Mixed feelings about it because while the majority of my favourites appear to be in it i don’t think it will be the same somehow. I hope we get to see what happens with Linda- but as much of a cunt as she is, surely someone at MCC is going to notice she is missing by now and put two and two together- she was at the prison just before the riot with that Joe or whatever his name was and if memory serves correctly he’s been rescued?

32 minutes to go!

Oooh I can't wait! Just ordered Netflix yesterday! Can't wait till tonight 😳😂

It’s ok Old. I can message you spoilers throughout the day if you wish. I told my boss as soon as I heard a release day I was taking today off. Me and DSIS are surrounded by snacks, pop and a pizza for breakfast under our duvets on the sofa waiting for 8am.

We don’t intend on moving until we’ve finished it

If we need more supplies- we are going to call a taxi and send the taxi with the money to go to the shop 😂😂😂

i just watched the trailer.
i am sad if the lady who set the bunker up isn't in it.

She is Samcro. She’s in the trailer

It’s live.

just watched one episode......well that was weird

3 episodes in & it's great to see the different stories beginning to develop.

Well that’s done.

Fucking cunts. Tis all I can say.

I'm going to watch the new series tonight. Can anyone run by me the last episode just so I can remember what's happened until now 😂

I've finished it as well - I have questions but will contain myself until others have finished!

scolotti, it's the aftermath of the riot, which was put down in brutal fashion at the end of the last series.

Scolotti- CERT raided the prison and evacuated all the prisoners and they were all put on different buses going to different prisons, including Linda from MCC despite Caputo having the opportunity to say she wasn’t a prisoner.

Taystee, Cindy, Suzanne, Piper, Alex, Gloria, Blanca, Freida and Red were all in Freidas secret bunker and it ended by CERT officers blowing up the doors and finding them because Caputo told them there was a pool in the basement and they were probably hiding there. They killed Piscatella on the way down there as a young officer shot at the ceiling and because he was so tall it bounced off and as it did killed him.

Maria told everyone it was her who released the prisoners when it was Gloria, ruining Gloria’s chance of seeing her son who has having brain surgery

Chang escaped through a gap in the fence, as did Pennsatucky who was reunited with Coates the guard who raped her.

The first few episodes aren’t that great and honestly you can skip half the first episode and still understand what’s going on. It does get better but don’t expect standard OITNB because it is very different.

humph. Cross at the ending. He was just waiting with flowers and.... noooooo!!!

Ok I've finished!

spoilers

I don't understand why Florez thought she was getting out & didn't????

AND I cannot believe that Piper actually got out!

I'm nearly at the end and I had to google see if there was a thread!

Please tell me Badison and Alex kill each other to death? I actually like Alex but I can't stand Badison.

I have also finished.

Can't believe they deported her instead of releasing her!

Badison was incredibly irritating.

Why did the other two want to kill Frieda? I remember the library scene but am a bit hazy on the details.

If only Alex had held on a couple of days and not had to do a deal - although will that stand now?

I don't understand why Florez thought she was getting out & didn't????

They told her she was being released from prison, and she was, but to go straight to a ICE detention centre newly set up by the same company that runs the prison.

Why did the other two want to kill Frieda?

Carol & Barbara used to deal drugs in the prison in the 1980s. Freida started helping Carol with her drug business. Carol's drug stash disappeared; Carol thought Barbara was to blame but then she found out that Freida had handed the drugs into the guards and given them info about Carol & Barbara's drug dealing, in return for a transfer to the nicer prison where the series starts. Carol & Barbara both had time added to their sentences.

Ah that makes sense (carol & Barbara) but I didn't have much sympathy for them after they killed their sister...

So excited about the new season but only watched one so had to rush by all your comments .

I love Suzanne and feel so sorry for her. Hope Doggett and her Bf don’t get found. And I hope he doesn’t do her wrong again. They’re actually a really sweet couple.

Not so much a sweet couple are Alex and Piper. Too needy and OITNB waste too much screen time on them.

That’s my two pence worth. Time to watch!!!

[whole season 6 spoilers]

Absolutely loved Carol and Barb, so sad how they ended up! If it was them or Frieda though, I'm okay with it. Totally inevitable. They would've made great multi-season villains tbh. Like if Red was more evil.

Wasn't the casting for their young versions so spot on? Barb in particular. I want a whole show about Carol, Barb and Frieda and their exploits in prison when they were young.

The ending was one of the saddest yet. Diablo with his flowers And poor Taystee too. Both her and Blanca deserve better than what they got.

Sad that Boo was just a cameo this season, I love Lea Delaria and I want to know what Boo did!!

McCullough is the best guard, I hope next season she gets some help for her PTSD.

Carol and Barb back story made me sick to my stomach

Blanca made me so sad, she thought her time was ready

I LOVED this season but found it so sad - poor blanca!

Taystee's story was heart breaking and really makes you think. Red not being able to put aside revenge in order to see her grandkids was sad but in character.

Badison is bloody annoying but I enjoyed the Denning sisters.

The Dennings back story was horrific, especially the twist with Barb as I thought she'd backed out but then she had the door locks in her hand 😳

I think the back stories are almost my favourite part.

Was Badison in prison because she accidentally torched someone trying to show off to make friends?

Just finished last night. Absolutely heart broken for blanca and Diablo 😭😭😭 I do wonder about the next season and piper being out (supposedly could be the last season) so might include like a flash forward to when Alex gets out in parts.

Poor tastee I really thought she wouldn't be found guilty. Bless Caputo for helping her. I've always liked his character and he was so lovely in this season.

The Denning sister's were fab! Awful back story but great villains and as pp said excellent casting for the younger versions.

God Baddison did my head in! No where near as scary as she tried to be. Daddy was an ok addition I thought.

Sad not to see Boo for more than a cameo. As always Nicky was brilliant and I love Gloria as well
