I was getting ready to go to bed last night, scrolling lazily through my Netflix queue when I saw OitNB had a new cover... and it said Season 3 early release! I dumbly watched the first episode then and there instead of going to bed like I shoulda (Very tired today) But YAY!!!! Girls are BACK!!! I won't say too much about the one episode I watched for spoiler reasons. Except to say Poussey seems to have a new character arc 'brewing' (heh)... and never hire Boo as a clown for a kids' party. Unless it's an American Horror Story themed kids' party. But other than that SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! Orangey Black is Back!!! ...Though now that I think on it... I'm going to see Jurassic World with one set of friends tonight, possibly going to Kings Dominion with another set of friends (weather dependent) tomorrow and planning a pre- Father's Day fishing trip with Dad since I won't be in town on actual Father's Day. Is it very sad of me that I now realize these events will cut into my OitNB watching time... :-(... I... might have a problem...

Same here, GG! We watched the first ep before bed last night because we had to, obvi. And then we thought we'd binge tonight... Until we remembered we have plans with actual people tonight. And semi-plans tomorrow. Big Mistake.

Something weird has happened and this thread disappeared for me. I did a search and none of the new posts are on it. I think it may be the ghost of Vee.
I'm up to episode 4 now and all I can say is I need 100% more black Cindy!

I noticed the same thing. The thread was there Thursday night, and gone by Friday. I've only watched the first 2 episodes, and I'm glad that Piper is the main focus anymore. However, I'm disappointed that Alex/Piper are a thing again. I still can't stand Red. She has always bugged me. So disappointed in Bennett, but Christ Almighty, Daya's mother's baby daddy is a pyscho! I thought he was going for a belt, not a gun! Who uses a gun for corporal punishment?! I HATE Daya's mother though. What a nosy, self-serving twat.

I'm glad I'm not the only one the thread disappearance happened for...stuff like that makes me think I'm losing my mind. When I lose something obvious in my house I'm the first to blame it on Poltergeist activity but the internet is different for me.
Honestly, I didn't like the first episode. A lot of it was because they spent it reminding us where things had left off last season, but in a really obvious way. The writing just wasn't what I was used to. I just read a review of the season on NPR and they said the season was good, but not quite as strong as the last two. That's what I'm feeling so far. They did say the action picks up in the second half of the season.
What a great cast, though. I think Taylor Schilling is a really good actress and I enjoy her--I just don't think she's the most interesting character on there. I like her more as a part of the ensemble than the point of the show.

I've only seen the first the eps, so I might change my mind later. I am into it, I'm definitely going to keep watching and see where the plot lines go, but the pacing of everything seems off. Like everything is strangely rushed. I wonder if this is because of binge watching. Either, it just feels rushed to me because I am watching many episodes at once and don't have a week to digest the stories between eps, or if the writers really do write it differently from other shows and make kind of a lot of stuff happen quickly because they know people are going to binge watch.

I'm watching ep 1 and the focus is really weird. Sometimes it's supercrisp, and I can see every pore on their skin, and then mid-scene it will go blurred and I feel like I'm watching an old rerun of the Love Boat with its late 70s quality. It's really annoying me.
On the thread disappearing, I keep having posts show up as unread even though I've read them in all different threads. I think something is up with the board!

Same thing is happening to me. :/ As for the show itself...meh. I'm up to episode 6, and there really doesn't seem to be an over-arching theme, or plot this season (other than the administration stuff, which I don't care all that much about). Clearly the prison won't close. Still sick of the Piper/Alex stuff. Too much meth-heads. Too little of the black girl clique. I'm glad we're getting more back stories, but they're not as rich and engaging as past stories. Laverne Cox is reduced to cameos. Red still sucks. Half way through the season, and I'm still waiting for a really good episode. :/

Watched the entire season. Second half is much better than the 1st half. And Laverne Cox is not anything near cameo status for it.

I'm only up to episode 10. Did they get a new makeup person this season? Lorna and Pennsatucky look so much older.
