I so love your new avatar, kostgard!

They really did a fantastic casting job for Rosa's younger self.

They really did - right down to the dimples.

Silent Nora was a minor pop singer in the eighties. She had a song in the movie 16 Candles. I actually vaguely remember the song. You can see the video here. It is the most eighties thing I have ever seen.

I usually hate these types of quizzes but what the hell: Which Orange is the New Black Character Are You? I got Alex. I didn't realize I was a terrible human being.

I got Alex, too. I went back and changed a couple of answers and I got Alex, again! I think the quiz version of Alex is about sucking it up and not making waves.

I got Taystee. While she is awesome, I'm really nothing like her.

I got Dayus and so I immediately decided that quiz is nonsense.

I got Soso and nearly hurled my iPad across the room.

Hahaha! I would be furious with those results, too.

I got Sofia.

[Babycakes]

I got Piper.

I'm nowhere near that self-involved, and I would never get with anyone like Larry or Alex, but she does have the potential to be badass; so, I can live with it.

Overall, I LOVED this season, almost as much as I loved the 1st season.

Young Rosa and elderly Rosa had 2 totally different accents. Young Rosa sounded spanish, elderly Rosa sounded Italian or like she was from one of those European countries that don't speak English.

Vee...I mainly remember Lorraine Toussaint from Any Day Now on Lifetime (Lifetime should rerun that show, it's one of the best shows I've ever watched on TV), she knocked that role out of the park. I wish, or hope she isn't dead, because of the great acting. I hated her for her manipulation of Suzanne. The sight of Suzanne crying with the Uno cards, that just teared me up. Lorraine Toussaint stole the season, I just wish Sophia had a bigger role.

I don't really care for Alex, I'm not a Piper and Alex shipper (the old TWOP coming out of me). I like them both individually, but together, not so much. Larry and Polly can get married, start a new family and live happily ever after, off screen, they're story is almost pointless now.

Dia is stupid, she wants her baby daddy to be a felon like her. I guess she doesn't realize how hard it is for felons to get jobs. Although I dislike Pornstach, I don't like the fact that they set him up. Dia may be stupid, but at least she felt guilty.

Healy is such a mysognistic jerk that it's sad, he's sad. His whole life is sad. I wish he would have a come to the Lord moment and change. I suspect there is a possibility of change since he saved Suzanne.

Fig, Eww, damn woman have some class! Give a man a bj to keep quiet, before making sure that he's kept quiet? The embellizing, the unsympathetic actions, I'm glad she's gone!

Taystee was rough this season, I'm hoping she gets back to being happy go lucky Taystee.

Poussey's back story was heartbreaking, I hope she gets over Taystee. Her and Nickols would make a cute couple. And they're both funny.

Things aren't looking good for Nickols, that ending gaze was telling.

I wonder what's the back story on Big Boo. She was WRONG for what she did to little Boo.

I didn't like Big Cindy's back story, she was a jerk. I like her in prison, and I hope she changes.

Suzanne/Crazy Eyes, the child actor playing her was spot on. I felt so mad that Vee manipulated her the way she did. Hated her beating up Poussey. She's crazy, but likable.

Overall, I give this season a 9/10. I really enjoyed it.

Mary Steenburgen to star in Season 3.
