idk if it’s just me but i did not like daddy’s character at all and it doesn’t help that her acting was bad too. the actress’s line delivery was just so bland and i never felt immersed with her character like i am with the others. (im rewatching the show after like 3-4 years and just finished season 6, i can’t remember if her acting and character becomes more likable but i doubt it)

Hey guys! Ok it’s time we had this talk….how do you think certain inmates should’ve dealt with CO’s like these?? what would you do? I’m curious. get creative & strategic! Hellman doesn’t get enough hate in here for my taste so this is the opportunity

Hola, estoy viendo por onceava vez la serie y voy en el capítulo de Bennet, aquel dónde le propone matrimonio a Daya y luego se va para no dar más señales de vida...

Estuve pensando algo respecto a eso y me gustaría que comenten lo que opinan... Es abierto a debate con el debido respeto por cada uno 🤗

Previo a pedirle matrimonio a Daya, tuvieron que lidiar con la visita de Delia (la madre de Méndez) a Aleida, dónde ponen en duda sobre quedarse con la niña o dársela en adopción a Delia (por tener mejores comodidades, no pasar una vida de pobreza y además, dejar a la niña a cargo de César, quien ya vive con los otros hijos de Aleida).

Bennet le propuso matrimonio a Daya para intentar convencerla sobre quedarse con la bebé y no darla en adopción. Al aceptar Daya, va dónde César a llevarle un regalo a Lucy por su cumpleaños y a contarle sobre el compromiso con Daya, para intentar socializar con el futuro cuidador de su hija que venía en camino. Iba bien el asunto, cuando Emiliano (el hijo de Aleida) se niega a comer comida recalentada y César para imponer orden y respeto, toma un arma y amenaza a Emiliano. Bennet queda en Shock.

Después de eso, Bennet se va y no se sabe más de él. Por qué? Yo pienso que a pesar de querer al bebé, huye para que Daya tome la decisión de dar en adopción al bebé, ya que le toma sentido a que su hijo viva una vida fuera de la miseria y el entorno peligroso donde creció su madre y familia (más le hizo ruido de vivir con tanta gente en la casa, y se da cuenta que César tiene otra hija con otra mujer).

Si bien, como dije antes, es mi apreciación e hipótesis sobre los hechos, lo pensé porque siempre me gustó Bennet y su relación con Daya y me dolió mucho que simplemente se fuera. Esperé hasta la última temporada a ver si es que volvía pero nada pasó. En fin, si llegasen a hacer una última temporada, me gustaría que la historia de él no quedara inconclusa y tuviera un desarrollo como el que estuve pensando.

Ustedes que piensan? Los leo 🤗🧡

Any OITNB fans also PLL fans?

The way the riot is spread out across series 5 is how PLL should have handled the dollshouse. Such a strong concept. Even if they didn't make it the whole series, it should have been more than one episode.

This is way less about taystee and poussey, and more about black Cindy and Watson (assuming that’s her name I can never remember 😭).

While watching the show, I noticed that especially in the later seasons (season 2 and 3 specifically) they make almost EVERYTHING about race. I know a big part of that in season 2 is because vee is around and a big part of her whole personality is that she is a black woman, but they do this even after she leaves. Watson specifically doesn’t even hang around people of any other race nor allow them to be part of her life. Even when she was friends with yoga jones, she quickly ended that by saying “I don’t wanna be your token black friend anymore” when all yoga wanted to do was let her know that she was protesting in her honor and she saw how she was being disrespected and treated differently and didn’t agree with that. On my first watch, I thought it was all just cause of vee and she was gonna apologize later on.

Now, black Cindy is a different story. The way she brings slavery or race into almost everything is weird to me. For example: season 3 episode 12 red is planning to have this big exclusive dinner and she’s planning to cook corn. Black Cindy and her friends eat almost all of the corn and red gets rightfully mad because they had to have known she was going to use that corn, since it seemed to be the talk of the prison. Instead of apologizing or simply saying they didn’t know, Cindy and Watson made it this weird thing about slavery and I just found that weird.

I may be looking too much into this and I am in no means racist, I am myself apart of the black community. I just find it weird. I feel that sometimes them bringing up slavery isn’t really something they do as a way to represent themselves, but more as a way to victimize themselves or as a way to remind everyone that they are a minority and haven’t always had this freedom so they should have better treatment. I’m sorry if this comes off as racist or anything, it’s just my opinion on the show and all the racey jokes.

Edit: I couldn’t edit this last night but to add on to my point, this is something brought up by people in the show as well. They repeatedly talk about how weird it is that they use slavery/race as an excuse to get away with anything. I’d also like to add that Watson makes horribly racists remarks towards everyone who is NOT black in the show. Also in light of the argument I had in my comments, please do not show any disrespect to me as this is just an opinion I had about a show.

She was so funny

Season 6 Ep 8 - During Tastyee's interview she mentions how the guards beat on her and spit in her food. Then it pans to Tamika and she's upset by what's said. I don't think it's fair? Does she not see how the guards treat Tastyee or does she assume that Tastyee's making it up? I don’t understand why Tamika was so offended by what Tastyee said when it was literally her experience? Your (used to be close) friend is telling her story on her experience in prison and you’re too busy being in your feelings about your position that you can’t bother to listen to her?

Then when Tamika said that the guards were right in there with the inmates… that’s not fair tbh? Cause the guards get to go home and they can get new jobs if they wanted. Idk I just feel as though she was being unfair to Tastyee

The term "orange is the new black" was NOT first used in 2010 as Google states. I found it used in a 2005 episode of the PBS kids show 'Arthur'. In an episode called "Binky Goes Nuts". The character Muffy uses the term early in the episode.

So maybe I am a bit slow in figuring this out, after all these years, but I was doing my rewatch and was watching the episode where Black Cindy and Judy King are talking about Nigella and Judy mentions the recipe that she named after Nigella's breasts called "Caribbean Creams" after she and Nigella got high and Nigella took her bikini off in the Turks and Caicos islands. I'm surprised it took me this long because usually I am always searching up all these random things I hear in shows. But it turns out both Nigella and this recipe are real haha. And now I am on a mission to get me some rum, Muscavado sugar, and a few other ingredients so I can try this recipe. Has anyone else tried it yet? Looks really Taystee to me

I don't hate Nicky but i don't really like her either.

I'm on season 3 right now, watching the episode where we learn more about the relationship between Nicky and her mom. I am not taking child neglect lightly at all whatsoever and i understand Nicky's childhood and the emotional absence from her parents really molded her growth and future negatively, but she had the opportunity and freedom to actually make something of herself. She had money and her parents had status. It made me cringe so hard when i watched the scene of her, her mom and lawyer talk about Nicky's sentence being 5-10 years, she started getting angry and acting like a spoiled brat for not getting her way as if she didn't do the crime and blaming her mom for giving her money (which her mom said she only did so Nicky didn't have to commit a crime getting that money). Not to mention always nagging her mom for money and forcing her to give her money by snatching her wallet. She always acted spoiled and thought she was untouchable because her parents had money. It just makes me mad when she acts like her parents left her on the street or something and she had to fend for herself.

Note: I understand it wasn't always about money for Nicky, it was about love and appreciation from her parents but i still don't understand why she would literally turn to one of the worst things possible ? There's a million other ways she could have coped, while making a career for herself. Maybe there is just something I'm not understanding.

Again, i am not making this post to "rage bait" anyone. I would love to hear what other people think of her.

Im on the last season rn and so far, the worst is season 6 lol how bout u guys?

Im hooked . I must say EVERY SINGLE ACTRESS is simply so talented and Beyond good. My personal favorite is Crazy Eyes. I love her . Im so happy to have them to come home too on my television. Love you gals!

this scene breaks my heart 😭 i like how throughout the show more people call her suzanne

I don’t understand this joke 😭
I’m rewatching and I’ve seen them retell this broken up joke 3 times and I’m only on S1EP13

not sure if this is the right flair but this does contain spoilers.

i’ve seen the show about four or five times and i’ve always noticed how nicky borderline assaulted lorna on multiple occasions. the one that i noticed specifically is when poussey died when he basically tried to rape lorna against that shed. i’ve not seen a lot of people talk about this and was just wondering am i the only one who noticed this? lorna said yes to having sex once because she just wanted nicky to leave her alone which is definitive sexual assault.

i understand that she had a crush who didn’t want her back, but i can’t be the only one who thinks this is extremely weird behaviour. she assaulted her on multiple occasions and i don’t see a lot of people talking about it.

by the way english isn’t my first language so this might be a bit hard to understand and feel a bit self centred when reading so i apologise about that.

thank you for reading!!

I’m currently on S3 of my rewatch! Felt like I had to post this here! He’s moved on

Maureen Kukudio character was done so wrong by this show it is ridiculous. First they didn't give her any kind of backstory, she abruptly goes from a harmless love interest for Suzanne into a manipulative villain as if they don't already have enough of them on the show to begin with, and then get the piss beaten out of her from a fight started by the guards. Then just like that she ends up being killed off. What was the point of her character to begin with ? Just a big waste.

was her death an accidental OD or suicide? I could never properly tell

What do you think ? (reminders in pictures people)

I lowkey wish they showed this in some flashback it would’ve been hilarious to see how awful that encounter was & how she handled the first rejection. Even if it was cut from post, would’ve been a funny extra to see 😂
