{To your spoiler}I don't know what will happen with Alex. I don't want to see her die; that would ruin the show for me. I just don't see how she makes it out of there.
The stuff that happens to Pen later in the season really bother me. I hope they address that more in the next season.
I've finished the season so there will be major spoilers in my post.
I loved this season. Even though there was not a lot of action, we needed some more back story to connect with the characters. Such as, I now actually feel sorry for Doggett instead of annoyed. And I hope something actually happens to that CO because there's just another girl who will be driving the van now and vulnerable to him. And might I say, Taryn Manning has a gift for playing white trash girls, between this and Crossroads. Also, the ending was spectacularly and very satisfying. The part where Black Cindy is baptized as Jewish made me cry. The only part that I hope gets rectified next season is Daya's baby going to DFS. Because that's exactly what she didn't want and it's her meddling mother's fault.

{Spoiler}Poussey and SoSo holding hands warmed my heart! I am so glad she is going to have a community now.
Red and Healy??? Thoughts?
If Alex is dead, it would not bother me much. I don't feel for her character and the on again/off again hate fucking they have is too Ross and Rachel for me. The Norma thing definitely got old and made me dislike Leanne so much more. Red and Healy does not fit with me as I dislike Healy. He is a cheat and a coward and worthless and she's such a strong woman.
I like it so far, I finished episode 9 last night.
I'm pissed that CO Bennet left. I root for him & Daya so hard!
I like seeing the back stories of some of the smaller characters (Lorna, Leanne, etc)
Ruby Rose is my new girl crush. JAYSUS she is so fucking stunning.
I agree about Bennett. I feel like something happened to him and he's going to come back. To propose and then just disappear is fishy.
I think they had to write him out for the season because of scheduling conflicts with another show he's in. But FFS, they couldn't say he was transferred to another prison? Was in a horrible car accident? SOMETHING?

I do not like Red and Healy. The reason Red left her husband was because he was a pushover and weak... so is HEALY!! He is overly intimated by strong women (Piper in season 1, His wife/MIL, Berdie) and his way of fighting against them is to be shady and sometimes criminal!! HELLO! He tried to KILL PIPER!
I felt bad for Nikki, but at the same time she did hold that heroin back and it may have gotten her in more trouble anyway.
I do not buy Piper as a bad ass. I don't know if Taylor Schilling is supposed to play it this way, but Piper still seems like she is playing at being a boss and I am not buying it. She is doesn't have to say shit like "Don't mess with me... tell your friends I mean business.." it is dumb.
The Bennet thing is definitely BS. He was flawed, sure, but not flawed enough to just take off. If anything, seeing the conditions in the home with Caesar should have convinced him that he needed to play a very active role in the upbringing of their child.
Healy is such a complex character for me. Obviously, he is terrible at the core of his job, which makes him practically detestable. He has some kindness hidden in there, but his oniony layers are pretty thick! Red tends to bring out the good in him, though. I am glad she seems to have passed on the whole notion, but I hope she can continue to reach the good part of him.

The dirty panty business storyline is just hilarious.
Also, Boo with a strap-on, FTW. Haha. I love how she and Penn became buddies. Hated what happened to Penn, but glad she had someone there for her.
I'm sure Alex is alive. They will probably show another CO come back in to the greenhouse (or whatever building that was) to get something, or something lame like that. And then survival will continue to be her story.

With Healy, they DID show him realizing that having control over his wife wasn't working (hence suggesting she and her mother get their own place). And he saw the good that came of that (she brought him her leftovers). I think he was humbled this season. I'm not vested in him either way, so, meh.

But as that was happening he was lying about Berdie and taking her down...
When he lashes out he is shady and he still tried to have someone MURDERED! He only let his wife go because he had feelings for Red and wasn't as attached to the wife any more.

Good point. Still, I don't remember him ever recognizing that he is at fault for anything until this season.
It was kind of awesome to see him get told that he is bad at his job. "Like, really bad." LOL. His face.

I was so fucking pissed about Bennett ditching the crib and leaving. I so thought he would be back once the baby was born. But my guess is How to get away with murder took up his time...(maybe? Idk?)

I just finished the season and thought it was good but not as good as the first two. The Piper storyline was kind of boring for me this season. She's definitely not the main focus of the show anymore. I don't think this "badass" thing really fits her.
I wouldn't care either way if Alex was gone. She's kind of annoying to me. Bring back Nicky instead!
The Norma cult was funny for a couple episodes but got stupid quick. Definitely lasted too long.
The lake scene was pretty awesome. I'm glad Soso has a family now.
I don't really know where the show is going next season. Obviously they're planning to bring in a ton of new people for more drama. Guess we'll just have to wait (a whole year) and see.

I am on episode 2 and am so bored. I just don't think this season has the same oomph behind it. My coworker says it gets better "by episode 10". So 7 more hours of boringtown? Is it really that bad?
I'm so fucking livid that Bennet left! I went on imdb to see if he would be in anymore episodes. Nope.
How fucking dare you, Bennet? Seriously, having sexual relations with an inmate was incredibly unethical. You are on a position of power, and the relationship is not equal, whether you love each other or not. But you seemed to love each other, so I was rooting for it to work out somehow. And now you just took off? Fuck you, Bennet.
I really, really think Bennett is coming back next season. Idk why.
As far as Piper, no, she is not a badass. This whole show is a huge send-up to the trope of the "white girl" character that's all over TV right now as the vulnerable central character, and Piper is the main critique of that type of character. She's boring, selfish, weak, and often lacks humor.
And icaughtfire, I agree about that beautiful freedom they all shared for a few moments. But Piper was conspicuously absent from the scene. She's not really part of the community in a meaningful way, and having pissed off Flaca and living without Alex and Ruby, that will only become clearer.
