Oz
 

I didn't see a thread about it, and was just wondering what you guys are thinking about the season so far?

I liked this episode a lot. This season has started slow, but it's really picking up now.

I really like it so far. Great show.

I loved the show on Sunday... but I did have one question:

Did Cloutier at the end there? Or what?

I'm glad to see Keller back. Him and Ryan were always my two favourite characters. And I can't wait for the DVD of the first season to come out.

I was thinking that he was healed and could walk since the red-headed guy got stabbed. That's a possibility.

I love this show!! Keep 'em comming

First, let me make something very clear...

I really really really like Oz. It is one of my favorite shows.

Now...

Enough with the supernatural crap. Don't get me wrong, I love(d) The X-Files and I am really starting to dig Buffy, but Oz is no place for the crap they have pulled with Dillon the past 2 weeks.

I still loved the episodes, but I would have liked them more without the supernatural storyline.

It's kind of like how I would of like Star Wars Episode 1 more if there was less of Jar-Jar.

I'll be honest. I don't watch "OZ" for the plot.

The stories fly by at an ADD-afflicted writers pace. And if you haven't followed the serpentine attack/retaliation/revenge plotline from the beginning - you're pretty much out of the loop. (Incidentally - does that Minister Sayid guy ever do anything but whisper-spit threats at close range and glower?)

I watch "OZ" for the gratuitous penis shots.

This week's episode had ZERO! That's right: ZERO gratuitous male nudity. Even the one guy seen in the shower had a towel on around his waist.

What gives?

If this show doesn't start doling out the shameless skank-booty shots, then I'm through with it. You hear? Through.

;)

I was actually considering starting a thread to complain about the ABUNDANCE of gratuitous "basket shots" we got in the first two episodes until I read your post, Grunter.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. :D

Oh, but on topic; I am totally confounded by this supernatural angle. I like it, though sometimes when they go out on a limb it's kinda hit-or-miss. Like the "old age" drug from last season. I just hope they don't drop this plot in the space of five minutes like they did that one.

I agree with Alien Redrum OZ is JAIL enough with the mystical stuff and lets get back to the good ol' double crossing, race wars, abdomen shanking, new guy ass banging that I've grown to love :)

Speaking of ass banging I about fell off the couch when the Mob kid got "it" again rotfl first from Adebisi, this time from Schillinger rotfl.

BTW what happen with the little flirtation between Leo and his "assistant"? I thought for sure they would shack up. Come on Leo show McManus who the real "playa" in Oz is

edit: March 19 1st season HUUHA :)

How much "prison initiation" is there on this show? I saw only part of one episode. Very intensive but no nudity from what I had seen.

Not as much as you'de think it depends on the story and what the characters are doing like if new guy shows up and is week or makes a bad impression expect to see him bent over by the closing credits. Or if you see two guys that have "thing" for each other i.e. Beecher and Keller there might be some man on man tongue wrestling.

Hooray for HBO! :lol:

Well, now that Keller is back, you're probably gonna see nudity everytime there's a storyline with him.

It seems that guy loves getting naked for the camera.

Too bad they don't have more female guards. That one that got naked last year, well, :yack:

-Steve

Dr. Nathan is long overdue for a nude scene. :cool:

:thumbsup:

But with my luck, the piano teacher will get naked first. :grunt:

:lol:

-Steve

Ahem: two weeks in a row, no penis.

That is all.

Actually, grunter, if you are referring to the most recent episode (with the prisoners training the dogs) there was indeed MFN (or is it FMN?) The one Hispanic character with the lazy eye (whose name I cannot remember), in the shower, attacking the new guy. It was a long shot, I'm surprised you missed it. And speaking of nudity, didn't that woman on death row last season have a few scenes?

I dont think she got naked. She was famous though, I have seen her around somewhere else, but never put my finger on it. She was doing guy behind the sheet so you just seen shadow in the curtian.

That must've happened in the first eight minutes, because I missed a bit there at the beginning.

If there was penis, then I retract my statement and make a correction.

I personally haven't seen penis in two episodes.

Yep there was a penis. A lazy eye penis!

Shirley Bellinger. Yes, she did. I think it might've been during the second season -- not long after she arrived at Oz. Timmy Kirk, the one who tried to kill Cloutier, was mopping the floor and she raised her dress, exposing herself to him. If you watch carefully, that scene is used in the opening credits this season.

The actress who played her is Kathryn Erbe. She was in Stir of Echoes with Kevin Bacon. She's also married to Terry Kinney, who plays McManus.

She's also one of the main characters on Law & Order: Criminal Intent....

Sure wish this show had been on in the days of the BIG (free) satellite dishes...
