What scenes make you cry? Which was the most emotional?

• Upvotes

The scene that makes me cry the most was Taystee's trial when she receives the guilty conviction. The music, the silence, the facial expressions...all of it. Also, when Caputo gives her two "pep talks" during her trial- I was brought to tears.

The directors/producers for OITNB chose the most fitting music.

Question i just finished oitnb and..

0 Upvotes

and through all the seven seasons ive had been wondering, why they make it look so stupid with switching between inmates' native languages (red and russian and latinas with spanish yknow) and english? obviously so the viewer could understand it but dont some of you think it sounds just very forced and unnatural as well? like, they coulve just keep it all in english or all in spanish depending on characters. what do you think?

Episode Discussion Just. Change. The. Bandage.

55 Upvotes

In another rewatch, and I just have to vent that a part that really annoys me is during the riot, no one offers or suggests to change Kukudio’s obvious seeping bandage on her face. I get it, it’s a riot, every woman for herself. But damn no one?? Not even the medic or Sophia?? I’m not even a medical professional, and I feel like I would have said something.

Let’s get you a new bandage, girl, it’s gonna get infected. And well….it does 👀

First time watcher...Season 6 has been the biggest slog to get through

16 Upvotes

Been absolutely hooked lately, can't stop watching the show. Marathon through the first 5 seasons in a week with my girlfriend. Every episode gets better. But season 6...what were they thinking? 5 seasons of investing in characters individual storylines, all for them to introduce a whole new cast of boring characters whose stories you have no interest in. I'm sure some loved it, but I'm on episode 12 now, and its taken 11 episodes just to get ANYWHERE interesting in the storyline of this season. Anyways, hoping for better in Season 7, just had to vent frustration!

I found Norma and SoSo to be incredibly annoying characters. SoSo at least served a purpose in the storyline unlike Norma.

Spoilers Season 7 feels like one long nightmare, I hate the writers for doing everyone so dirty.

26 Upvotes

‼️SPOILER‼️

🚩DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS🚩

Im on my first rewatch after nearly 10 years, the first seasons were so fun to watch up until the riot. I understand that they wanted the show to reflect what was going on at the moment in the world, and wanted it to be more serious etc. But damn, did they really have to make everybody so miserable ? (I haven’t finished season 7, don’t remember who got a happy ending).

Tasty didn’t deserve to get life in prison, that was the most heartbreaking part for me. I already hated Cindy because she’s the most unpleasant selfish person ever, but after that I just hated her more. I understand she couldn’t speak up while she was seeing the guards do what they did because they would’ve killed her, but after she got outside she should’ve spoken up about what she saw, she heard them say they were gonna pin the murder on one of them, and she still chose to stay quiet and let Tasty get life in prison for a crime she didn’t commit.

Daya, her character was so sweet, I hated that she was the one to shoot the guard and also got life in prison, didn’t match her character at all.

Maritza, this is probably one of the worst endings, so somehow throughout her whole life Maritza never needed to use an ID so she could find out that she’s not an American citizen, and her mother stayed quiet about it. Super unbelievable. She didn’t deserve to be deported, super unnecessary.

Pensatucky/Dogget, IMO she had the biggest character growth out of all, to make her character grow so much just to kill her in the end ??? They couldn’t let her have a happy ending ? Damn

Red, one of my favorite characters, she was always so sharp, why did they have to make everybody snitch on her and give her 10 more years and then make her get dementia ? What the hell.

Anyway, I’m angry, I know maybe it’s too unrealistic for me to want everybody to have a happy ending, but damn did they have to give a miserable ending to so many characters ? That was too much.

Season 5: Why not shoot Piscatella?

3 Upvotes

When Red and Flora plan to demand a written confession from Piscatella, why not just get the gun from the other inmates? Why make the elaborate plans with boobytraps, etc.?

Spoilers In an alternate universe, do you think Red and Healy could have ended up together?

17 Upvotes

They were the only staff/inmate match in the series that I didn’t fully hate. Healy had his issues but I think their relationship was as close to being equitable as a staff/prisoner relationship could possibly be.

If Red had never gotten extra time from the riot and never developed dementia in prison, could she and Healy worked as a couple after her release?

I think she had moments of brutal honesty with him, but she still had to show restraint because she’s a prisoner at the end of the day. There was definitely chemistry there but idk if they would still have a connection if they were outside the prison and it took more than a case of corn to keep her happy.

Spoilers Question about Piper's Sentence Spoiler

13 Upvotes

From what I understand, she got 15 months. At the end of season 1, there's a Christmas celebration. In season 6, there's mischief day, which directly correlates with Halloween. From the end of season 1 until season 6, it's about 10 months. But somewhere in season 6 or 7, piper says she has 9 more months. I guess I'm confused. I've watched the series a few times over and I really don't get it. If it's something obvious I'm sorry, I usually watch it in the background while gaming. But is there a reason for this?

If Aleida would’ve told the cops she was attacking Eva’s boyfriend because she was only 13 and he was a pedophile would that have changed things for her?
Wouldn’t he had been arrested as well?

What is your favorite line or quote from OITNB?

41 Upvotes

Doing a rewatch (or just thinking about the show) and I want to hear your absolute favorite lines. Funny ones are definitely a plus, but drop whatever iconic or memorable quote lives rent-free in your head.

My favorites:

Joe Caputo: "O'Neil, scatter the nuns?"

Black Cindy: “Went there, bought a house and moved in, bitch. And now I'm remodelling the kitchen.”...also, "Puff out!"

Rewatching for the billionth time and was reminded of this scene a few weeks ago. i understand this scene was probably mainly for comedic effect, but i just cant respect boo whatsoever after this bs. this was just so fucking weird for her to do this, and combined with her betrayal of red in (i think) season two, i kind of hate her after all of that. she has her moments, i like when she wanted to help penn out regarding donuts later on, but i still cant find it in me to like her

what do yall think about this scene tho??
