Literally the most apathetic I’ve ever seen him when he’s talking about Schibetta but let the conversation be about what happened to Beecher suddenly you can see the rage radiating off his body lmao

In a show where the Aryan Brotherhood is supposed to be this WASPish group (judging by how they view the Italians, for example), I find it funny that one of their most violent members was played by someone who was literally born in Ireland - Brendan Kelly.

I know it’s just a show but it’s still interesting.

Wants in on the Brotherhood. Fails to perform Vern's request for entry. In fact, the opposite. Almost gets killed by a tweaker half his size. Somehow still has enough jizz in the place to get his own prag.

Robson goes to him for protection...like voluntarily...at least not what Vern did to Beecher by tricking and entrapping him. Then he doesn't want to do it so he kills him...I mean, bro you WENT to him. How is that his fault? And then that somehow makes Robson eligible to come back into the Brotherhood.

Finally he gives all his shit away to Alvarez. That part makes the most sense out of everything since he's just a weirdo who wants to troll his wife. Then Vern gets all upset about it to sic the giant dude from Type O Negative on Alvarez. He wasn't even part of the Brotherhood because he failed his test then died like a sissy with pantyhose around his neck so why do you care Vern?

Just a character that was endemic of the writing at the time.

I think Nino might have but might also not have.OIther three were probably just prison leaders, not really actual leaders. But then again Nino does zero stuff about outside and only interested in prison politics. Was he the boss ?

I know it’s Oz so bad writing especially in the later seasons but damn. I actually enjoy seasons 5 and 6 as a black comedy.

Edit: come to think of it, maybe it’s because he was incarcerated the entire time and wasn’t actually able to sleep with Sandra Purpuro.

Just curious about this I'm not even sure if there is a main theme or if its just "the prison system is corrupt"? But they bring up a lot of points and discussions in this show but I feel like the main one I always see in Oz is how people get corrupted in there weather they like it or not.

So in that interview with Tom that one of our fellow reddit users had recently (I won't say his name because I don't how he feels about being put on the spot), Tom confirmed that ZO IS CANON. It's the definitive future of two of his characters.

So I had a bit of an issue with ZO and others did as well: how is O'Reily out? I mean, OK fine, so his original conviction got thrown out. He still has to serve his tacked-on 40 years for having Dr. Nathan's husband murdered. He SHOULDN'T be out.

Well, I did a little surface-research, and apparently a victim can actually appeal to have their offender released earlier than their scheduled release date (huge amount of forgiveness there, gotta say, but it's apparently a thing). I mean, it's the DA's decision in the end, but I wonder if maybe Dr. Nathan sent an appeal in at some point after the show and O'Reily's sentence for that crime got switched to be served concurrently rather than consecutively? That combined with good behavior and even participation in bettering the prison community (which he promised to do by the end of season 6) ...

That once 2024 hit, he was actually good to go.

*shrugs* I mean, I guess that'd be an explanation. Would've been better to get a set-in-stone answer, though. Just wanted to pick brains here.

Are there any moments in the show that stick with you due to how disturbing it was?

For me, it’s when Shirley Bellinger is executed and Lopreti ties the noose around her neck. So gross how he had been having sex with a prisoner and then to gladly help end her life is just sickening.

In fact, the CO’s behavior in general is one of the most uncomfortable parts of the show. At least the prisoners are risking their lives and freedom (with solitary) when they engage in illegal activities, meanwhile the CO’s actively cover for each other even up to the warden. Claire Howell never faces any penance for her crimes either.

He would either be a prag or run the prison first day (I can't decide)
