And yup, they changed that scene.

I don't know why but I enjoy this song more without the MV. It's funnier when they are singing it live.

Yeah, I think the MV is only funny when you understand the lyrics.
And I really like the dance. Do they still choreograph their own songs? Or was that just for the first few songs?

I don't know, but that part where they are just feeling good is totally me.

I've finished watching OINTB and here are my quick thoughts for those interested (@PopReaper @PoshLife):

The problems of this season are all connected to that thing everyone was afraid of: 13 episodes that cover just 3 days in their lives are too much. 

It's not a bad season, it's just not a very good one.

The funny parts are still there, but there are not enough or they are just not as effective to create a balance as in previous seasons. 

What worked really well was the social critique that was stronger then ever, less connected with the individual characters' past stories and more focused on their present struggles.

Episodes 1, 2, 3 - weak; 4 - very funny; 5 - good; 6, 7 - weak; 8 - saved by the second half. 9 - very good (loved the horror movies references); 10 - great, definitely the darkest and heaviest of the season if not the series; 11 - it's very good thanks to a couple characters; 12 - it's Piper flashback so :madge:, and as if it wasn't enough other people decided to **** things up. It's not bad, it's just that you get pissed-off.

The finale - I don't know how I feel, I have to put it into spoilers.

Spoiler

I have mixed feelings and mainly because Piscatella died too fast, and I feel like cops will blame the missing ten for his death since they have a gun.

+ RIP Flaritza? :ohno:

+ Doggett :grr:

+ another season ended and what about Bennett, and Sister Jane, and Sophia (I get it, she's in max but you can't put Laverne in the corner for the whole season like this).

Chang was mostly absent as well, but her scene in the last episode was the best :sharon:

Spoiler

 

I still need to finish Ep. 12/13, but I've already seen some spoilers about the ending ( :emma: ) so I think I can safely say that I enjoyed this season. I found the 'prison riot' premise really interesting, even though the way they dealt with it a lot of the time felt borderline absurd (and my suspension of disbelief can only go so far). It had some really jarring tonal shifts at some points, but the humour and the drama this season was also well done so it helped a bit.

I guess I'd put it around the middle of my ranking. Season 1 was very solid but has a lot of the Piper/Alex/Larry drama that I really don't care about, so; Season 2 was probably the best; Season 3 was pretty much all fluff and Season 4 was also solid.

But I think they should take the opportunity given by the cliffhanger and make the next season the last one, tbh.

Also, still can't get over those impressions Ouija did on Ep. 6 lmao.gif It was flawless

And the new characters (specially the new latinas) really grew on me this season. Was nice to see Frieda getting more attention this time, too. The methheads, on the other hand :wtf:

LOOΠΔ, who has been building up their own universe of LOOΠΔVERSE, started to draw a new circle with the introduction of Kim Lip. While LOOΠΔ 1/3 has built the fundamental links among the members of LOOΠΔ and also the basic structure of the LOOΠΔVERSE, Kim Lip and two other girls create a new circle with their own colors. Kim Lip 'Eclipsed' with LOOΠΔ to annnounce that the time for the new world has come.

The seventh member, JinSoul, represents the colour between black and blue. The single by JinSoul "Singing in the Rain" is in the genre of future bass, expanding the musical spectrum of LOOΠΔ once again. "Love Letter" by JinSoul along with Kim Lip is also not a ballad number, going one step ahead of expectations with the top-of-the-notch sonal quality that LOOΠΔ always bring to the table.

Tracklist

01- Singing in the Rain
02- Love Letter (feat. Kim Lip)

Wtf is "future bass"? :emma:

I think it's already renewed for two more seasons:emma:. Agree with you about the other things.

I like this type of things but I hope they don't forget the whole thing when they debut.

They won't cancel so easily their most watched show. Especially now that they adopted the number of viewers as a parameter for cancelation. Danielle Brooks said she doesn't want to do more than 7 seasons, but it felt more like she's gonna leave and not like it's gonna end.

Now that you mention it, dividing the central characters in groups @ the finale might be a way to slowly and quietly "retire" the old mains and introduce new ones, if they really are interested in making more than 7 seasons.

Or I might just be overthinking it :emma:

Spoiler

I didn't thought of this as a solution, but I totally like it. Even if there are just two more seasons, they should adopt it. The only problem is: are they willing to get rid of Piper? It's like Grey's Anatomy, the main character isn't needed anymore but they still keep her there.

Not related but I'm excited for Glow :excited2:
