Oz Rewatch: S1E2 Visits, Conjugal and Otherwise

Jul 20, 2018 11:48

Holy cow, this was a great episode, too. I must have never rewatched this, because there were several things in it that I have no memory of.

- You just know that Vern would be a Trump supporter if this were set in present day. I can totally picture him at a “Make America Great Again” rally.

Great writeup- Hill is hot with the gun and the..uhh..
Yeah, Gen is kinda bitchy with that. Poor, poor Toby.
Vern would be Trump's number one fan.

Like you, I love the sound editing between the battering ram and the banging of the headboard.

I think Gen's line is all in the delivery. I think it's meant to be more sad than cruel, but the way she delivers it is just off. It's just a statement on how her life is at the time - he's not in the picture. The little smile she has on her face is what spoils it.

Adebisi is perfect in this episode. You can see at this point that his character wasn't going to be on the sidelines forever.

"Old man Mineo is my second-favorite CO after Murphy" (I don't know how to do it properly... sorry)

- Anyway, mine too :)

I agree that Genevieve told him that out of her own sadness...
I wonder if Vern treated others the way he treated Beecher, I bet he didn't, Beecher was just too condescending.
I love Nino Schibetta!!!

Beecher was just too condescending.

Which, I think, Vern found intriguing as well as infuriating (he just never wanted to admit it).

I love Nino Schibetta!!!

I was SO sad that his character didn't last longer, especially in contrast to other characters who lasted longer than they should have. (Yeah, I'm looking at you, Kenny... )

Beecher is everything Vern wish to be but can't.
High class, nice family...
Vern wants Beecher to look up to him, but instead Beecher is totally indifferent towards him, no matter what Vern is doing to him, and it drives Schillinger crazy, he doesn't have a choice but to escalate more and more...

Chris understood immediately that Vern needs to feel adored, so he let him have it, and that's why their relationship took a different path compared to Schillinger/Beecher.
Beecher felt superior in Oz and acted like it, so obviously Vern felt the need to change it.

I can't write well in English, but I count on you to understand me :)

I am now watching e4. It's hard for me to finish it because I don't want to see the death penalty in action, but I'll try to finish it now. Maybe we can continue together after e6 :D

You write extremely well in English! I never have any problems understanding you. And you always have such interesting insight on things! (My own foreign language experience consists of 2 years of high school Latin, so I'm always impressed with people who have managed to learn/speak/write in multiple languages.)
