“Orange Is the New Black” 409 Review: “Turn Table Turn”
In one sentence Black Cindy sums up the writing of this entire season: “Y’all, we ain’t think this shit through.”

Spoiler alert: Piper is the woooorst.
All the women of Litchfield deserve so much better.
No Hope Allowed.
Is Game of Thrones going there with Yara and Daenerys? Seems like maybe! Waverly and Haught make out twice on Wynonna Earp. Catherine and Marjorie’s story takes center stage on Veep. And Audrey gets A-ed on Scream.
An over-stuffed episode that needs more Maritza, but excels at its menstrual narrative.
Sophia! And Nicky! (Who in the world thought we needed more Sam Healy flashbacks?)
Soso proves that people well-versed on racism can still be racist.
That’s the thing about racism: It doesn’t have to take the form of slurs or stump speeches. Yeah, it can look like a Cheeto with a mouth running for president. But it can also look like a Regular Guy walking around in an $1,100 suit.
Waverly comes out on Wynonna Earp, Marjorie finally gets mistaken for Selina on Veep, and what the heck with the weird bi panic, Lady Dynamite?
“Why waste my time digging one six-foot hole when I could dig six one-foot holes. That’s just murder math.”
French Slytherins never die.
Hey, Sarah Manning is bi! And so is Waverly on Wynonna Earp (she finally kissed Haught right on the mouth!). Also, Scream is back and Rosewood ended stupidly.
Marjorie is a trained Secret Service agent. Surely that increases her and Catherine’s chances of survival.
Lexa might not have seen peace in her lifetime, but her legacy will be equality in representation, in defying the tropes, and in holding creators accountable for minority representation.
In a TV year full of heartbreak and disappointment, it’s nice to know at least one gay lady is bullet-proof.
She told America they couldn’t pray away the gay, and she was right, and we believed her.
On the very last episode ever of “Faking It,” everybody attends a very weird New Year’s Eve party.
And dang, Grey’s Anatomy, can a bisexual Latina get a break?
This week on Faking It, Amy gets a girlfriend! Kinda!
