    Pointless

    Okay this episode is one of my least favourites and a disappointing start after an execellent character driven season two.

    This is the worst episode since the end of such a good season

    Orange is the New Black Season 3 Episode 1 Review : Acting : All the actors and actresses have performed well enough. Everyone has acted with full justice to their character. Story : For the sake of the writers, I would like to say that the last episode of the second session was good enough. How can the first episode of the third season be so badly written after the last episode of the second season was so good. Overall Episode : I have no complaints about any other department, everyone has done their job well. There are no complaints about the event background music. I gave this episode six out of ten stars for just one bad story.

    Orange is the New Trash

    I really loved the first two seasons of this show, perfect amounts of drama, comedy, romance and it could just appeal to everybody. However, due to a large portion of the audience coming from Tumblr, promoting the show through it's more oddball moments by posting gifs and more quotable scenes, they have decided to completely ruin this show by appeasing to this specific audience and completely ruining any serious tone the show had going for it. It's completely everywhere! They have a really serious dramatic moment and then there's just the most ridiculous scene ever, it doesn't know what kind of show it wants to even be anymore. This is just garbage now and I'm so disappointed they stooped this low just to make the worst part of the demographic happier. GREAT JOB.

      Contrary to what Luschek says, if you rent a gun on a shooting range, you need to pay a deposit before they hand it to you.

      Piper Chapman: What happened? What are you doing back here? And wh... what happened to your face?

      Alex Vause: Just a little trouble in lock up. I was in a mood. I forgot that you should let crackheads have their way.

      Piper Chapman: Well yeah. Crackheads... Wookies... you know, you gotta let 'em win.
