I knew she spoke German but actual Penn-Dutch Amish, actually getting baptized no way. It was heartbreaking that she really seemed like she was going to give up the 'bad' life, to be happy and whatnot, and the law actually pushed her into doing ... the right thing, which cost her everything she wanted, which caused her to do bad things and end up in jail that's twisted. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/27906-s03e09-where-my-dreidel-at/#findComment-1239175

Valid reason for kissing another girl, Piper. (eye roll). I'm sure she will lie to Alex about it next episode. That was a great Amish twist for Leanne. Some of these backstories are really sad. In fact, most of them are. Were there any unsympathetic backstories besides Black Cindy's? Which brings me to this...Black Cindy is my favorite character..just as is...hysterical backgound comments.

Cherpumple June 14, 2015 Share June 14, 2015 Yeah, I'm disappointed that the donut dude storyline got creepy so fast. I actually expected worse when he yelled at her to get in the mud, and I'm still uneasy about him. Also, I know that Nicky got "corrections officer" suggested on her job aptitude test, but with the right training, I actually think Pennsatucky would be good at that job. Never would've thunk it from season 1! After the disappointingly predictable backstory for big Boo, I've been quite pleased with the surprising looks into Flaca, Norma, and Leanne's pasts. I love how this show plants little hints to bigger storylines along the way like Leanne randomly speaking German and Piper making an off-hand comment to the sewing room supervisor about being able to fit an extra pair of panties on the fabric. It makes my inevitable re-watches all the more satisfying. Another Black Cindy fan here, SaabStory. She always cracks me up, and her line delivery is the best. I'd have to say that Caputo is my favorite character, but she is definitely in the top 5. Has it been established exactly why Piper is spending all this time and energy with the panty girls scheme? She made a random comment earlier in the season about being homeless and jobless when she gets out, so I assume she's building some kind of nest egg, but that doesn't seem to be her prime motivator now. Is it out of boredom? Just for fun? After what she's been through in the SHU and experiencing max in Chicago, I wouldn't think she'd take this kind of risk. But even if it doesn't make sense, it gives me more Cal screen time, so I'm happy.

Sadly maybe Healy is right when he told her basically she may be better off just being mostly alone and making it through the best she can day by day. While it may be better for the women while in prison to have someone to turn to, its not like any of them are getting any happy endings so far out of it all, even when they have made it of jail. The twist I did not expect out of the Amish story was her being shunned by the whole society and ostracized for snitching on the other Amish kids. Sure its not a great thing to do to your friends, but she had no options and you would think adults would understand that, place the blame and understand the problem better than blaming the snitch.

Black Cindy isn't very sympathetic, but you do see depth in her interactions with her daughter/sister. Poussey is sympathetic, but also shows how bad her judgement is, as is Nicki being caught up in her addiction.

She is stealing materials and time from her employer (she's paid for the time she spends making the extra panties.) This is going to prolong her sentence. The whole scheme strikes me as so ill-considered that I can't stand watching it. Though I guess it rings true -- she landed in prison in the first place due to some epically bad decisions. As a wanna-be writer and outspoken fan of Diana Gabaldon on the internet, I am thoroughly enjoying Crazy Eye's new position as emerging literary genius and her dislike of fan fiction. And after sitting through the dreck that is the movie "50 Shades of Grey" last night, and knowing what I do about the source material, Suzanne's success at a prison-house novelist is completely credible.

Now that they've shown Lolly apparently tracking Alex's movements and possibly stealing a big chunk of broken glass, she has to be a red herring. I also agree that Leanne was never meant to be Amish from day 1, but I enjoyed the story anyway. I certainly don't think that every flashback portrays the characters as victims of circumstance. Cindy, Morello, Rosa, Gloria, Piper, Alex, Nicki, Red, and Chang (to name a few) all clearly chose to do what they did. The back stories allow us to get to know them better. On the other hand, I do think Taystee and Daya didn't have much of a chance at a crime-free life…they were brought up by parental figures in the drug business. But they are the only two I think about that way. Love that Chang's movie references are all from the 80s. Sure, "Witness" was an obvious choice, but it had to be Chang who said it. She's been in a looong time. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/27906-s03e09-where-my-dreidel-at/#findComment-1305798
Blakeston July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 Piper's sentence has never changed in length in OITNB. She was offered her immediate freedom at the start of S2 if she testified against Cubra. They offered her immediate release? I don't recall that. They made her decision out to be, "Do I do the right thing and help put Kubra away, or do I preserve my safety by lying?"

jsm1125 July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 I know Piper and Larry talked a lot about her being gone for 'a year' in S1 but I was basing the 15 months on Kerman's RL sentence, 15mo of which she served 13. Piper's sentence has never changed in length in OITNB. She was offered her immediate freedom at the start of S2 if she testified against Cubra. When she didn't the penalty was having to complete her sentence. At this point it is at least July and she'll be out in time to do her Christmas shopping. The panty business storyline makes no sense, she's on the home stretch of her sentence. I remember Piper telling Healy, when she first met him shortly after arriving at Litchfield, that she was sentenced to 15 months.

DianeDobbler July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 When Alex gave a statement and Poper didn't they probably added more time to Pipers sentence. If memory serves, Piper's lawyer (Larry's dad) told her she'd ruined her shot at early release. Not that she'd have time added.

Mattipoo August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 Has the other laundry room white trash meth head inmate (forgot her name but she is brunette and best friends with Leanne) had a flashback yet? I would like to see her backstory most. Also the burn victim from Red's kitchen, and the butch looking Golden Girl.

jsm1125 August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 Mattipoo, you may be thinking of Angie? No, she hasn't had a flashback, though I too am interested in seeing her backstory, along with Gina, Freida, Maritza, Maria, and SoSo.

Mattipoo August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 Yes thanks I was thinking of Angie. It would be nice to see her backstory as she seems quite interesting and funny. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/27906-s03e09-where-my-dreidel-at/#findComment-1392426
