Haute-n-Cold

Seems to me the satellite dish spot (DirecTV? Dish? Can't remember) brings up an issue they'd be better off leaving alone. It's supposedly so much better than cable because "You don't have all those ugly wires"? First thought in my head is, those wires are tucked behind the furniture, which I much prefer over some hideous dish mounted on my house!

I read an interview with Lorraine Toussaint, and she said she didn’t find out until Day One on set when Jenji Kohan told her, “Oh, and you’re a psychopath, too!” Since psychopaths basically “act” their way through life, Toussaint said it’s kind of weird to act a character who’s acting. I’d like to know more about him. He’s a decent looking guy with a good job – doesn’t seem the type who’d need to order a bride from Russia. I’m sure there’s more there, and looking forward to finding out. Loved how he detested the psychologist’s use of the lingo, then promptly incorporated it into his “counseling” of the inmates. I missed something (this is what happens when you sip whipped cream vodka while watching the show): Why was the guard fired? I was under the impression that no one knew she’d left the parking garage that day…and if they did, she would’ve been in a heap of trouble. Can someone fill in that gap for me? Favorite line of the episode! Totally out of character – at least what we've seen of it – but I loved it.

I know it's Chris' schtick to be the human version of Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" - his end piece, "Let Me Finish" a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement - but I think it's a lot more effective to let your adversaries talk and hang themselves with their own words rather than bulldoze right over them to prove them wrong. Let THEM prove themselves wrong - if they're jerks, I want to hear them being jerks, not have Chris drown them out with his objections. Oh, and @Andyourlittledog2 - brilliant!
