2.7 Comic Sans

'Karma-wise'

When I'm watching something new obsessively, I know it's going to work out if there's a stamp episode.

With The Avengers it was The Mauritius Penny, with OITNB it's this one. Not just discussion of stamps, but of the future value of forever stamps (NVI ones, with 1ST or 2ND instead of a price). And this shot, which I believe is what my four decades of cult TV appreciation has been leading up to.

Cindy being done by in prison as she did in the TSA is played for laughs, but the point is a good one. The inmates are being treated that way because they went to prison, but the securitat bring prison to you.

The final 'compassionate' release scene is too melodramatic. I absolutely go with the message, but it's not being subtly presented.
