I figure the seaon premiere is only a month away and no one is talking about it. Anyone have any news on the show or the possibl movie?

When does it premiere? I have been waiting forever for this season to start!

January 5

This is my favorite show on tv. I can't wait to see the final 8 episodes I have a feeling a lot of death will happen this season. Fontana said most of the characters stories will be wrapped up by the end of the season.

I

Can't

Wait.

Theres only about 50 open right now. I am also looking forward to the start of the season. Any wrd on quest stars or directors yet?

I just wish they would push OZ out on DVD faster. Season 2 comes out Jan 7th (my B-Day hint, hint). They need to match the Sopranos.

Yeah really. At the rate they are going we won't get season 6 until 2007 or 2008.

A prediction for the final shot of the last episode:

Beecher is walking out the door to start his parole, and he passes another white collar guy, looking as nervous and scared as he did on the first day. And he stops and looks at the guy for a long moment. It would be appropriate. Kind of a bookend.

Yea 10 bucks says that'll be the ending!

I'm hoping Edie Falco returns for atleast 1 episode to wrap up Tim's angle and all.

I just hope there is less cock this season last season was a sausage party. The male nudity itself doesn't bother me but when the are naked for no reason I'm like WTF.

Still dying for it to start already though. I wonder why this show never gets as much praise and recognition as the Sopranos?

Also I'm still mad about them killing Adebisi

WTF? It's only 8 episodes? damnit, HBO better come up with some new series that matches the quality and intensity of Oz and the Sopranos, with both of them only having one more season


The Wire looks to be a really good, but its not as good as the other two.

Unfortunately Fontana's next series for HBO after this sounds like it is going to suck. It is about baseball player's wives.

for the love of god, you cant be serious!?!

I thought Chuck Zito was joking when he mentioned it on Carson Daly's talk show.

Well, if it has tons of full frontal nudity, nobody can accuse him of being a sexist.

If only they'd balance the male nudity out with a little bit of female nudity. You know, like a nice, long, well-lit scene of Dr. Nathan getting out the shower and slowly toweling herself off.

Yeah. Sweet, sweet Gloria. I also really loved Beecher's lawyer from a season or two ago, who was trying to get him parole.

He's also developing a drama about juries (whatever that means) for ABC for next fall. I would be interested in it, but ABC has screwed up more good television than any network the past couple of years, so I don't have high hopes. On the other hand, Blue and The Practice are getting pretty old, so they need new dramas, unless everyone joins me in watching Alias, which doesn't seem to be happening yet.

Time to bump this thread up. The final season starts tomorrow night!

Here's an ending to the series for you:

Beecher ends up killing Schillinger. But ends up a lifer himself for doing the deed.

Then, some weasely little yuppie guy gets put in Beecher's cell and he starts raping him. Vicious cycle and all. Beecher will be the new Schillinger.

Nobody gets out of Oz alive. There is no redemption, only corruption and death.

I have a feeling they're going to go one of two ways with Beecher... a) He gets his parole, or b) He goes completely insane. But I think the latter would end with him killing Said, and not Schillinger (just a guess).

I was thinking that they could revoke Kellers death sentance and parole Beecher. Then have Keller kill Beecher because he's afraid Toby will fall in love with someone else on the outside. He essentially kills him because he loves him.

I take that back. After seeing

he's not getting out. He's killing Schillinger.

It was kind of a weak season opener in my opinion. Hopefully stuff picks up in the next episode. I read a rumor that the different killed inmates would be getting to do the narration segments each week and I guess it was true. Hopefully Adebisi gets to do one. It will be interesting to see how Beecher reacts to his father getting killed. I don't think they'll let him out before the end of the season if he was getting paroled. There was very little of Beecher in this episode. He was only on for like the last 5 minutes. This theater storyline is crap and I can't believe they continued it from last year.
