Best episode until now. That Nomi and Lito scene gave me goosebumps. Same with the Riley & Van Damme scene. I was kinda hesitant after the pilot, now I am absolutley invested in the plot.

I am new to this show and totally loved this episode. What a great finale..I was really scared for Nomi and Amanita! The lollipop scene <3

What an amazing trailer. Can't wait. d-r-a-m-a-a-a-

Lol, poor Pipes/Taylor. TAYSTEE: Damn, you got, some nice titties PIPER: Oh, thank you. TAYSTEE: You got them TV titties.

didn't know where to write this but I really missed Nicky+Piper scenes this season.

I like Polly too! Hope we'll see her in S4 Loved Gloria this season. One of the best written charachters

Great article! :) I kinda agree with what he says, especially about Schilling

I like Aleida. Am I the only one? I mean, she's a shitty mom but there's still something that makes me like her character. And I loved her backstory

Ops, so sorry if I soundend arrogant, didn't want to :( I was just wondering because basically no one I know watches this show, so I only read opinions all around the Internet and from what I see most of the viewers are not rooting for them. (and I often find myself rooting for characters that everybody "hates" so maybe it's me lol) Btw, I completely agree with you, without these boards I'd feel so lonely lol Also, you well explained why you still like the show without necessarily rooting for them and now it makes a lot more sense to me, and I must admit the writing and the acting are what make this show so interesting. And yes, sex is a huge part of their relationship, can't prove it wrong, but I still feel there's more to it.

Once again, I completely agree ;) Her complexity is what makes me like her even more. But most of the fandom is not aware of how complex she is. And the thing that makes me angry the most is how everyone blames her for being "rich". I can't stand it. Seriously. (that scene with Daya and Lorna in s3). I feel so bad for Pipes when she gets blamed for this. Another time I felt really bad for her is when their parents came visiting on her bday, that sad look on her face when her dad couldn't even say a word to her. The only thing he pointed out was how much of a failure she is at 32. But still everyone acts as her life is simple just because it's less "tragic" compared to some inmates backstories.

Again, I 100% agree with you. I have nothing to add. That conversation with Yoga Jones made me think a lot, it was the moment I thought: they're def. endgame. Btw it's great to read all this different opinions about Vauseman and their "future" ;) Thanks for sharing "they have to go to Paris and fuck in every bed they find" Lol

Thank God. I still wonder what's the point of watching this show without even caring a little bit about them? @truthaboutluv of course they're selfish but not cruel :S And I think they showed several times how much they love each other. I root for them. can't help it

I have a question for all of you/us Vauseman lovers Do you think Alex and Piper are endgame?

I think i'm one of the few that actually like Alison and Noah. I can't wait for S2.

This. Some of my fav lines come from Piper's mouth. She can be very funny Also here there's another great analysis about Piper's evolution -> http://cavanaugh-and-wine.tumblr.com/post/122824615201/discussing-piper-chapman

I 100% agree with you. I can't really blame the writers because Piper's not really the main character anymore so they had to manage all the storylines. But yes her arc could have been developed a little "better". The last tumblr post is a truly great analysis.I really think Pipes is complex as hell. What makes me "angry" is that people keep hating her character without even think for a minute about her story since ep.1. I still think she's a well written character, the only thing I can hope is more screen time for her in S4. I kinda agree with your other comment too ps: I want Piper to become full aware of herself with all her flaws and everything. Because she is not a mean person as everybody try to claim. I really hope we'll see a fully self aware Piper at the end of this show. ps2: that speech in 1x11 is the truest and most genuine thing Piper has ever said

Hands down, this show has the greatest quotes/references Taystee: It's called fan fiction Black Cindy: Kind of like the New Testament, am I right?

Nope. I like Alex and highly hope she's fine. But she will be fine because Laura Prepon/Alex is a big part of the show if you look at the fandom. Some random thoughts/things I enjoyed about this whole season/last episode: -Piper wants power and she's sick of being considered the pretty waspy girl. She wants to feel relevant now that Alex is not paying attention to her. -The tattoos were genious. Trust No Bitch lol (+ her panties speech and that scene when she found that mobile phone) -The lake scene was so heartwarming -Soso joyning the club -Boo/Penn's friendship. Felt so bad for Penn :( -That Rosa cameo!!!!!! -The Chicken!!! That was fucking brilliant. Seriously -There were a lot of good references: Hunger Games, Breaking Bad, Forrest Gump, etc. -Loved the flashbacks. Don't know why but the Daya and Aleida's one almost made me cry -Poussey/Taystee and the books funeral -I enjoyed Gloria's arc. The actress who plays her is so good -That Black Cindy story with koscher was hilarious. The show needs a lighter character like her

Always thought she loves Alex, never doubted about that, for this reason I was kinda disappointed when she first kissed Stella. She was just a distraction, because Alex wasn't paying enough attention to her. It was a dumb move but we know how Pipes works. She craves someone so badly. Her arc this season was twisted but it kinda makes sense if you think about it (at first I was disappointed too). She's been a "badass" since season 2. The first half of the season was lighter because it was all about her and Alex. But as soon as they take distance and after the whole panties business idea something changes. She wants power, Alex is not giving attention to her, and she wants to feel relevant. So she starts taking too seriously the whole panties thing. She is sick of being considered the pretty waspy girl that leads a perfect life. We learned she's not confortable with her body for example, or at least she does not consider herself "hot". She needed to underline that she has 2 degrees to Stella. In that scene with Morello and Daya in the cafeteria when they talk about bathrooms and houses she says that she had 4 bathrooms but she was also very lonely as a child. She's trying to state something. Sending Stella to shu was an horrible thing to do, even if she steals her money first. But still, she needs to affirm her position, you can see it when she tells Boo "I don't fuck around, let the people know". I also see the tattoos as an expression of self loathing (btw I loved her last scene, the endless tattoo one) or as a metaphor of her wanting to leave a mark. She is a fucked up and complex character, despite what she may seem. And people don't get it. She needs to understand alone who she really is, what she really wants, and that she can't always rely on someone else. I'm very interested in her storyline in S4. Can't wait. Ps: Taylor Schilling is great for the role.

Craziest episode ever. Penn's story is so sad and insane. Completely agree. T.Manning is so great. Piper, please tell me you're doing this thing on purpose because you've fu**ing lost your mind.(I know it's typical Piper but still, there must be something..) Alex/Lolly, gosh. Crazy Eyes, so sweet and Morello. God, she's out of her mind That Boo prayer lol "Dear Chapman"

This episode was soo good. Loved Chang's backstory. And I felt very sorry for her, it's a kinda sad story. LOVED that Piper asked her sorry in the toilet scene. so we know Piper's not okay with her look, didn't had a clue. Ruby Rose....I'm watching you. (her voice tho.) Morello is out of her mind :( and YES! Red is back :D!

It was hard to see Nicky go. Highly hope she's coming back soon because she's hands down one of the best characters :'( Loved the dynamic between Healy and Red, they really care about each other. The book's funeral LOL Taystee and Poussey always make me laugh lol Alex and Piper, that "acting" scene is one of their best scenes so far. But they're probably going to screw everything because...They're alex and Piper :S

I think I'm the only one who's happy because they ended up together. I knew it since episode 1. I enjoyed the finale, Ruth and Maura owned it. I think that the kid is actually Noah's daughter but I don't see him as the killer. There must be something behind all of this. The way they look at each other when the detective knocks at the door is kinda scary. What the f---k did they do?

Would like to see this play. Love her and Gyllenhaal

I love Alison too and I kinda understand her. She seems alone even when she's around Cole and his family. I hate Cherry aswell and I don't trust Cole. Not to mention Alison's mother, come on, can we even consider Athena a mother? She is herself only with Noah, and he may not be the man of the year but I still like him. I ship them together because they're fucked up but they understand each other.
