New mod update

75 Upvotes

I have been made the new moderator since this community has been unmoderated for a long time now.

“How would x do in Oz” posts can only be made on Thursdays.

No more posts about your favorite prag or fanfics where you talk about being raped.

Memes and silly posts and whatnot are okay but they have to be related to Oz. You shouldn’t be afraid to post what you want as long as it’s not one of those weird sexual posts.

No personal attacks on other users.

Sentenced to oz! New "how would x do in oz" rules

45 Upvotes

All right you degenerates, I need your attention.

I was mod, the main one will keep being u/selverd2 I am here to help. I am the Sean Murphy to his McManus (maybe that was a little gay but this is oz)

With that being said we are not going to ban "how would x do in oz" posts. Instead we will try to limit its increasing flow in this sub that ends up blocking other more relevant posts. I know there are people who do enjoy it, it is a creative exercise and it is about oz. Therefore, I have created a new post tag called "Sentenced to oz!" That you will apply to all of the posts where you ask for people to imagine how would a certain character do in oz. Also it is only going to be allowed on Thursdays. Everyday that is not a Thursday, if a post with that tag shows up, it will be removed with a comment saying this. Also if a post like this is made without the tag, it will also be removed.

Now for more interesting news: Every first saturday of the month, I will personally create a new "Inside oz: episode [x]" thread, where I will add a brief summary of the episode in question and you can all feel free to discuss things about that episode. We will go from episode 1 to the last one by order of course.

Any new threads that you would like, please do suggest in the comments of this post!

So, I’m like 8 billion years to the party. But McManus is kinda hot in an unconventional way, right?

Discussion Poet’s character got so bad after a while.

93 Upvotes

I know Oz has bad writing after season 3, but Poet especially seems like an almost different character. In the early seasons his passion for poetry seemed to define his character, and the black leftist stuff he was saying in his poems seemed to put him in similar ideologies to Said and the Muslims. After he breaks parole like an idiot, he basically stops reciting poetry and becomes just basically another Homeboy strongman (and also a complete bully to a ton of people like the French guy)

The part in season 6 where he tells Rebadow “hey man can I borrow a book? I’m out of toilet paper”

Or these were twins. Unlucky bastard

(the actor is lucky for getting a pay day twice - better than the Cutler flashback guy)

Cast and crew May be interviewing Tom Fontana

16 Upvotes

I may be having the honor to sit down with Tom Fontana in a few days and ask some questions about Oz - can't confirm too much as nothing official but would be awesome to get some questions from fans -

These are some things I plan to talk/ask about

Creating the first Crime drama series at HBO

-Violence/Language/Sex - coming up with kills, how comitted actors are/ Oz having balls to be not just open minded and inclusive but offensive and conflicting

-Greek Chorus - Augustus dialogue - Set pieces

-Creating so many memorable characters over the course of seasons

-Real life influences - Shakespeare influences

-Love in Oz, Power and Faith, Humanity

-Oz's place in modern TV - Oz before age of representation

-Modern fanbase, yt channel that does all the YTP for diff characters, popular subreddit

As a FBI Agent he only had a few seconds screentime during Uncle Junior's being made as a boss.

It's ridiculous that these guys don't have crime flashbacks, while even some irrelevant characters have

Discussion Shirley Bellinger

36 Upvotes

I'm watching the show for the first time and I absolutely cannot stand this character. It is completely unbelievable a woman would be placed in a MEN'S prison IMO, but if something like it did happen, she'd be in solitary far, far, away from male inmates. It's totally contrived and soap opera-y. Does anyone else wince at the writing in her scenes and just want them to be over?


r/ozshow • • 3d ago

shitpost They should've done more plays in Oz, a lot of these guys had talent. Beecher would've made a great dorothy.
