What did the exsheriff that works with the nun mean when he said something about wooden nickels to beecher?

I've been wondering that myself....

Another great episode. The preview for next week looks amazing, and I'm glad next week is the Season, and not the Series, finale. Anyone know if we get Season 5, part 2 in 6 months or so (ala what they did Season 4), or will it be Season 6 starting next year?

Just a guess, but I'm betting it had something to do with Beecher's deal with Schillenger (about seeing Keller). The deal wasn't worth Adam''s rape. I don't know anything about wooden nickels, but I'm betting there not worth what they claim to be worth.

Does that make any sense?

So...

Who's going to get killed next week? I wish I would've taped the show so I could frame-by-frame through the previews.

Also, I'm surprised Chuckie's lasted this long.

Liked the show ofcourse, can't wait till next week. If they kill off Redding, Slug will be one peod big man.

For some reason, I think it will be Augustis coming back to Em and getting accidently killed, cause it seemed like McMahonis(sp?) was sad for who ever died.

This season flew by. They better not wait another year before bringing it back. I want atleast another 8 episode season this Summer or Fall. 8 episodes a year is just not enough!

This was another good episode very nice when Glen started quoting while they took Roy away. very cool indeed.

"Don't take any wooden nickels" is a reference to getting the shaft/getting scammed in a deal (like getting a disc of wood painted to look like a nickel - I guess this must have been a real concern at one time, although I don't know how you wouldn't notice). That's why you see people biting coins when they get them in a lot of old cartoons and Three Stooges shorts, et al. In this episode of Oz, I feel it was likely a direct reference to the deal Beecher made with Schillinger, or just an offhanded remark that made Beecher momentarily reflect and regret his crummy deal.

Oh, and my money is on Omar White getting killed/wounded in next week's episode. McManus has grown really fond of him, and has faith in his rehabilitation.

Wow, I never thought of him! He wasn't in this week's episode, was he?

I was thinking is would be Augustus, since this whole thing really is about him taking the drugs and not telling who gave it to him, and Poet telling Redding different people that didn't do it and they end up getting hurt by it. But Omar is a possibility.

Overall, it think it was a good episode. Already end of the season?!? That went fast!

I don't think its Omar. I don't think Redding would react like he does if its Omar. I too am thinking its Augustus.

They could be doing some weird editing on us though. I dont know what they would do if Augustus dies though, who is going to do the segments.

My money is on Omar White or possibly a hack (The one that McManus is buddies with).

Omar White -- R.I.P.

So before I waste another hour watching the repeat of this week's episode on Wednesday evening, could someone tell me the status of the gratuitous male nudity in this episode?

Were there any penises on display this time? Or was it more of the same silly revenge fantasy plots?

Why don't you just go rent a porno?

um... are you forgetting Kurt Bevacqua???

He's in solitary for knifing Joe Charboneau. Duh. Pay attention.

they took some guys to solitary and they were nekkid
