Oz/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
< Oz


  • Several apply, but most fans point to Beecher's revenge against Schillinger in episode seven, or Said rejecting Smug Snake Governor Devlin's politically-motivated pardon on television ("According to my religion there are some things I am not allowed to swallow!") as the most notable bits.
    • Crazy Beecher during season 2 was made of awesome.
    • Father Mukada (a liberal, Asian, Catholic, "hack in black") convincing white supremicist Vern Schillinger to release Beecher's kidnapped son.
    • Beecher killing the white supremacist guard with his sharpened fingernails, then casually clipping off the evidence.
    • Wilson Loewen delivering an absolutely devastating Reason You Suck Speech to a throughly deserving Schillinger.
    • Keller snapping the neck of the Aryan who killed Beecher's father.
    • O'Reilly smashing the head of Dr Nathan's rapist with a dumbbell.
    • Keller tricking Beecher into killing long time Enemy Schillinger.
    • O'Reilly manipulating events to get Smug Snake Jia Kenmin, who got his brother Cyril sent to Death Row, beaten to death by guards.
    • Said's Speech in Episode Eight:"We don't more prisons, bigger prisons, better prisons. We need better justice".
    • Moses Deyell punching through a stone wall he'd been chipping away at and choking racist killer Mark Miles to death.
    • Schillinger finally getting his karma when Beecher shanks him during the play. Particularly great when he realizes he's been duped and when an extra shouts "THAT MOTHAFUCKA'S DEAD!" to thunderous applause.
    • Beecher, high on PCP and having had enough of Schillinger's torture, smashing the window and sending a shard of Glass into Schillinger's eye. Both the prisoners and audience at home really couldn't help but cheer.
  • Although it has a terrifying subtext, Said protecting Beecher from the Aryans after his parole hearing is great. He literally appears from NOWHERE and shanks Schillinger and proceeds to do the same to Robson, and caps it off with one of the most chilling lines of the series.

Said: "Adebisi lives!"
