Kate Mulgrew - Orange is the New black

A mildly spoilery discussion of season 2 from NPR.

http://www.npr.org/2014/06/06/31952...ange-is-the-new-black-humming-in-a-new-season

And to bring this thread back to the woman who headlines it... here's one of my fav quotes from the above column.

Another wonderful side benefit of Orange's approach is the running room it gives to ace actresses like Toussaint and Kate Mulgrew, who plays a Russian powerhouse with her own tangled history regarding Vee and the old days behind bars. Elsewhere in TV land, these ladies would be exiled to playing judges and grandmothers; here, they stand at the center of the action, making moves which will affect the future of the prison.

Los Angeles approves.

Well, it approves of everything EXCEPT Larry. I loved this line.

The fictional Larry seems created to be the slightly dull, often self-pitying "normal" boyfriend Piper acquired on the rebound from the wild girlfriend (Laura Prepon) who led her into a fancy life of crime. It doesn't help that Schilling has better chemistry with Prepon.

OH...

MY...

GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great discussion of OitNB & snippets of season 2 but no significant spoilers.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/05/orange-is-the-new-black-season-2_n_5453530.html

Please get this straight, Larry is NOT her husband!

Sheeezzz.

Are you a Flappy bird fan?

Do NOT read this if you haven't watched the Big Boo / peanut butter episode.

You ain't just whistling Dixie! :rommie:

I still fear for Nicky, but what's REALLY intriguing is the idea about
what could happen if you bring TWO questionable psyches into one embrace. :vulcan:

Which ones are you referring to?

For the first time EVER, Netflix didn't freeze up on me at home for the 1st 7. :bolian:

I haven't started on the next 6 yet, I have chores to do before it can rain. :rolleyes:

Welp I'm watching it differently tonight if I can manage it. It was perfect for 3 eps then ep 4 took FOREVER it was awful.

Busy all day though so can't sneak any in for quite a while.

SUCH an enjoyable show, such awesome acting!!!

I closed Netflix at 3 am and refused to reopen it until tonight since I KNEW I wouldn't stop with just "one more" and the lawn really needed mowing!

As for your question.... :vulcan:

Do you REALLY want to know? :borg:

Are you absolutely sure???? :devil:

Morello and Suzzane
 
The plan was to watch 3 Sat and 3 Sun nite, but you know what they say about the best laid plans, right? :vulcan:

Another freaking year I have to wait. :wtf:

ARGH! :klingon:
 
What do you mean a year WHAT! You have to wait a year to finish it? Or wait, it feels like a year?

Anyway I'm on ep 5 and..

"yes but a doormat to where?
" I laughed so hard, tea everywhere at this hahaha

No, you silly goose. :rolleyes:

"A year" until season THREE premieres. :p

Episode 5?

Trying to savor every moment with Red while you have the chance, eh?

It's not my fav quote of the series, but I did laugh and think of you when ...

"I'M not an alcoholic. I'm Australian!"

No spoilers in this one, just Taylor talking about what former prisoners think of the show.

Here's an excellent article with the guest star from episode 1. Not much for spoilers, but there are some if you haven't seen it yet.

I just haven't had the time to watch it. I'm watching ep 6 in a few minutes.

Believe me if I could watch the whole thing at once I would.

Well, I did sit in the last pew this morning so no-one would notice when I fell asleep. :lol:

On a rewatch now...

In episode 1, I love this exchange.

Piper: He's a Hitman? Oh thank god, I thought he was a rapist.
Prisoner: You're "f***ing" weird.

I like this last line in the season review.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/06/arts/television/review-orange-is-the-new-black-season-2.html?_r=0

As long it keeps getting weird, “Orange Is the New Black” will bear watching.

Snippets from multiple reviews.

OH yes I loved the Trek reference, any time Kate Mulgrew is in something they seem to sneak one in somewhere!

Yeah a little Larry goes a long way. He's not a horrible person but he is quite a wanker. btw I've been posting on theforce.net and you know you cannot say the word wanker there, or ass or.. just about anything. It gets asterisked out. It is very challenging for me to write with such restrictions :lol:
 
Yea I belong to some forums that have strong restrictions and language filtering. I was surprised when I first joined TrekBBS how liberal they were with language and was happy about that! :)
 
I'm not sure if you get mod slapped over there if your posts are full of ***. The words are banned, but the software filters them so is it still verboten to type them? People seem to get banned a lot so maybe this is the case :lol:

ESPECIALLY when writing about Larry.

Loved it when his daddy told Piper that he (the elder) wasn't a halfwit like his son.

Do you think Larry's dad has some latent tendencies or did he really end up in that bath house because of a coupon? :vulcan:

Three of our Ladies went to Austen, Texas on Friday, and made some interesting comments.

Orange is the new binge. :)

http://www.azcentral.com/story/ente...is-the-new-black-summers-best-binge/10080043/

I have a spoiler from the 13th ep/finale that you will WANT to know as you SCHEDULE your binge.

The last ep is
1 & 1/2 HOURS LONG
 
JRulez you need to be proud of me, I have only time to watch one episode of something tonight and I am going to watch episode 7 of Orange even though the new Game of Thrones is sitting in it's bloody little Game of Thrones folder waiting for me.
 
Here's Uzo! (when more people have finished this season, I have very specific ideas/questions about Suzanne's "mommy".)

Kind of like Morello &
Christopher

Or Big Boo &
Little Boo.

Great group shot (sorry Teacake, no Mulgrew in this one)

How Natasha "met" Yael. :guffaw:

ALSO a real hint at which disgruntled "word that rhymes with rich" gave started that Mulgrew is a diva" rumor. :scream:

Her Initials are RB. :p
