June 18, 20169 yr omg I've watched the first ten episodes today and this season has been so good so far, was not expecting to sympathise with Piper as much as I have been given that I hated her so much last season :o Alex >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
June 19, 20169 yr I've just finished this and omg what a season *.* SUCH a step up from the last one, I was bawling during the last three episodes though... I really wasn't expecting that to happen at all :cry:
June 20, 20169 yr The end of episode 12 was too much :( I had to take a binge break for an hour, I cried for a good 10 minutes and I don't really cry at TV :/ I agree that this was overall a far better season than season 3, if a hard watch for the last few episodes. Holy f*** at the ending too - DAYA OF ALL PEOPLE. Ramos and Flaca are my faves along with Morelo and Nicholls I think but I've loved Red (as usual), SoSo, Poussey, Lolly, Piscatella, Luscheck and Bayley a lot too.
June 25, 20169 yr I just finished Episode 8 and I'm not loving this season yet. Too much Lolly and Judy King and Piper being her usual idiot self. I have high hopes for episode 12 though!
June 26, 20169 yr Ive finished watching this and I thought it was awesome..that corn field scene was one of my favs :rofl: episode 12 was sad :cry: and omg at that ending :o :o did not expect that at all, shame we got to wait a whole year to see what happens!! Not sure I like the new guards, particually Piscatella and Humphrey though!
May 2, 20178 yr I've finished the leaked 10 episodes and I think this is my 2nd fave behind season 4 so far. I don't think it will beat season 4 but of course we'll have to see the last 3 episodes. Some not really spoilers, but thoughts, but I'll spoiler tag them anyway: Martiza and Flaca pulling away as my fave characters, their pairing seems to be replacing the comedy of Taystee and Poussey. Gloria is a f***ing QUEEN this season though and Alison is a lowkey fave I always forget about. Taystee really shines as well in the aftermath of Poussey's death as a Black Lives Matter voice. I actually think Daya is worse than Piper this season, ugh. She's the real unlikable character along with the skinhead white nationalist one. Piscatella remains lowkey daddy bear (I am so soz) Stratman and Blake are also beaut (Stratman strips and JESUS f***ING CHRIST) Piper was ok for a few episodes actually, the most she has been since like season 1 lmao but she soon reverts to herself getting involved in everything. The premise of the season being all set over the same 3 days is actually really good, I thought it might be slow but there's so much happening in every episode without it ever getting too much, and it still feels like there's impasse where the situation is in suspense and not moving on which just perfectly works to create the correct atmosphere.

I proceeded with caution with these spoilers as I have only seen the first three episodes of the new season already. I didn't realise S5 was so easily accessible online!! I agree with your comment about Daya for sure!! Won't say any more other than the character is not strong enough to be so prominent. At the end of Episode 3 there was the food fight incident which I felt was a cheap plot device used to waste a bit of time considering the hype about the whole season being set over three days. I hope it doesn't resort to these kind of "events" over the season. I low key also wish Judy King had escaped. She's just so pointless. (Only 3 episodes down...) Does anyone else feel like there are TOO many prisoners now? It's been difficult to keep up with them all (especially the new ones, when you binge watch like I do!!) There hasn't been enough Crazy Eyes, Red, Big Boo, Nicky, Pennsatucky or Lorna in my opinion. That's not even mentioning some of the lesser used characters like Yoga Jones and Norma.... But like I keep saying, i'm only 3 episodes in. Plenty of time to go yet.
May 8, 20178 yr Yea I agree with you, we were getting shown way too much of those two latina prisoners and the guards, I think they kinda prioritised some things a bit wrongly so far but then maybe the things I wanna see more of are shown more in the next few episodes, I adore Nicky and Morello but their plotline together needs to progress, it's been the same on again/off again thing for five seasons and they're two of the best characters and actresses so should be used more!! f***ing Uzo Aduba tho, what an absolute talent, that scene with her in the mirror was just incredible *.* I actually hate Boo, the only time I can tolerate her is when her and Pennsatucky have some good friendship moments as that is a duo I can support when Boo isn't being a bitch ofc. Theres never enough Alex, there's always too much Piper.
May 10, 20178 yr Not sure to what extent the discussion needs to be in spoilers. Sorry in advance! Thankfully the balance restores itself in the latter half of the leaked episodes I feel. More of the originals and finally some progression in storylines for some of them. Also, how creepy was Episode 9?! Has Humphs died now? It wasn't overly clear whether Crazy Eyes was just having a meltdown or whether he has breathed his last? To be honest, he's had some bad luck this season!! Despite the above, I was under the impression there would be more in the way of deaths this seasonI know there's three episodes to go but it seems the cast (especially prisoners) is ever expanding, yet not many major characters have left. I can only think of Poussey :( Any other prisoners who have left have not been as prominent, multi series characters. Also, strange how the actor who plays Sam is still part of the "starring" cast but has barely appeared in the season yet (if at all?) I appreciate his story may have made it difficult to have him feature prominently but was it too much for them to have a reaction scene? . It's a really positive start to the season however, I have really enjoyed it. It would be nice to get rid of some of the rubbish prisoners now.... so much deadwood. Leanne in the "W" scene. HILARIOUS. I love Nicky's makeover!! Bring back Lolly!!!
June 9, 20178 yr Yep, I watched it all. I think this was an incredible season, I loved the character development! I can't wait to see what is going to happen next. (I am actually distraught at them separating Flaca and Maritza)
June 10, 20178 yr f*** THE HELL OFF separating Martiza and Flaca is legit worse than Poussey. I am crying they cannot do this
June 10, 20178 yr I'm on episode 3 really not feeling this season. I feel like they are trying to generate storylines for the sake of it. In 5 seasons not many characters have advanced, it's such a shame. Wentworth is far more gripping IMO, I know you can't really compare the two but Wentworth has me absolutely hooked, I find myself watching an episode and then not bothering.
June 10, 20178 yr that final scene is quite possibly one of the most beautiful heart wrenching moments of the entire show, i can't stop crying
June 12, 20178 yr Does everything need to be in spoilers now? Just in case I guess.... Sad that some of the rumours didn't turn out to be true... no Bennett return nor Lolly... sad times. I guess it was always going to be difficult bringing them back within a three day arc. The final ten minutes of the last episode :w00t: :w00t: Watch them do a Bad Girls and move the story on six weeks by ep1 with everything back to normal and everyone back in their original bunks.....
