Do we know why Red is in prison? Hope I didn't miss that.
Not exactly yet. It's assumed it's related to the Russian people her and her husband had to assist after she injured the walking groups main woman.
Which was hilarious, hilarious I tell you!
I loved it. So many little moments that cracked me up, and I loved the flashbacks. What did the nun do though? Just protesting of some sort?
Tidbits: chocolate and vanilla swirrrrl, edging, animal support therapy Lil Boo, El Diablo, runner girl/Watson is gorgeous, and I can't deal with the fact that disgusting Pornstache is the same actor that played hot Dimitri on Weeds
I find the flashbacks REALLY interesting, and they are what makes the show, IMO. But even the inmates relating their own stories is moving, like the part where Yoga Jones tells the runner-girl (forget her name) how she ended up in jail. I almost cried
Yes. Laura Prepon. She looks hot with dark hair and glasses. HOT.
Hot Donna is my #1 reason for watching the show, to start. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.
Now I watch it for the characters...less Piper/Alex and more people like Taystee, Yoga Jones, the Runner, Black Cindy and Miss Claudia, among others. Great ensemble cast.
I love Natasha Lyonne. And I love that her character's background is a lot like her own.
She plays crazy so well. I thought she was fantastic in Hustle and Flow, and I'm glad to see her working her acting chops again. And man her teeth are disgusting.
Pornstache is Nick Sobotka from The Wire. Red is Capt Janeway on Star Trek. The Yoga chick is the voice of Patty Mayonnaise on Doug.
I may be a little invested in this show.
To me, Red is Pete's mom on Warehouse 13 :-) I also spotted a Roseanne alum on there, the head of the Asian group played Iris in the hair salon episodes (am I lame to know that or what?). Yoga Jones also did annoying mayonnaise commercials in the 80's (I am guessing that is what led to Doug). Man did those annoy me. Lots of great "hey, it's that guy" actresses on this show.
4 episodes in. I am not reading this thread for fear of spoilers. I love the show. I love how they are doing all the flashbacks so you get an insight into their personalities.
I watched the chicken episode last night, will definitely finish the first season this week since DH is out of town. I liked Red's story the most, how she's made her own mob in prison after being rejected by the Russian wives. And because she's Capt Janeway

This show is freaking amazing. I binge-watched the whole first season in about 2-3 days. Taryn Manning is irritaing but she creeps me the fuck out. I am so fascinatd with all of the backstories and the culture of the women in the prison.
Oh, God, pornstache. Man, I only kind of hated him until the Tricia storyline and now I legit want to cut a bitch.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
DH and I are watching, but I think only because we don't have to wait for each episode and because there's really nothing else to watch right now. The subject matter is so depressing, and Piper is not likable at all. I can only watch 2 episodes at a time before I want to throw something. Poor Miss Claudette.
LOL - well, they are both skinny females with short blonde hair - so I guess the could *kinda* look alike.
ha I googled Nurse Jackie. I didnt have a very clear picture of her in my mind. I think I was thinking if she looked cracked out it would look like the yoga lady.
Yeah - if she was cracked out I would 100% agree with you
It made me LOL because my Grandmother is constantly saying that 2 people, who have only the most major details in common, look alike!
