[edit] Beecher and Islam?
Did I miss something? I know he became good friends with Said but I don't recall him finding Islam or adhering to Islamic principals at any time.
- I think it is implied because he prays with Said.--cda 13:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think he found Islam either. He was interested in it, and joined the muslims in their study groups, but that's it. Plus, it wasn't much later when he left Said. (Can't recall the exact thing that made him leave) OzOz 20:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Tobias asked Said to help him find God. Ultimately, their friendship thinned when Keller arrives (Who dislikes Said's ways) and during the whole lawsuit against the State, when Toby took Said's place. Tasteofink 21:30 13 June 2006 (GMT)
- Their relationship thinned because Toby could not resist temptation. Tobias is a very sensitive man so when he participated in the ultimate death of Schillinger's son (Andy) he felt very guilty and sought help. Hence, he prayed with Said in order to help him deal with his guilt. But after Keller saves him from Schillinger he could no longer resist him. It never really ended, their friendship. Just Tobias wasn't really Islamic since he indulged in homosexual acts with Keller —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.15.203 (talk • contribs) 20:27, March 18, 2007

[edit] Location
In the episode "Straight Life" a new inmate is brought in. It was his third conviction and so he got life in prison, the words actually used were "three strikes." Is it possible that it may take place in California because that is the only state I know of that has the three strikes law. Raabbasi 03:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Not possible, there was a Blizzard in one episode.
also, i believe illinois is out, because in the episode where illinois in mention, they talk of the governor of illinois stating something, cant quite remember, but governor devlin says that guys an idiot, or something. so i think illinois is out
- I was always believe the setting was New Jersey...I know at least the show was filed there (in Bayonne). ShawnHill (talk) 23:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Why was it cancelled?
Anyone know why this brilliant show was cancelled? - EZtaR 02:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
It wasn't cancelled, Tom Fontana (the creator) decided to end the series on a strong note rather than to keep going and risk making poorer episodes and soil the good name of the series. See this link for a message from Tom himself to his online fans explaining it. 203.59.185.54 09:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Prison Gangs?
Who decided what each of the gangs in Oz were called? The Muslims and the Aryans are pretty straight forward, but the Italians have been more often been refered to as the Wiseguys, the Sicilians, or the Mafia; while the Homeboys are frequently called the Gangsters, and the Bikers are sometimes called the Angels. How were the current names decided on? Was it just tallied up which names were used the most, or what? --Dark_Wolf101 00:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
The names were all the officail names as spoken by McManus in season 2 Yours Grimm MD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.189.210 (talk) 22:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
What's "Yours Grim MD"? --134.159.97.130 07:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article improvement
I'd like to see this article improved. Currently the coverage of Oz on wikipedia is a bit too in universe. My main problem in aiming to improve it is a paucity of sources, any suggestions would be highly valued. Perhaps someone with access to find articles might be able to help? I've added a to do list to the top of the page to help co-ordinate our efforts.--Opark 77 17:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question on the Gangs
At the start of Season 2 McManus stated that each prison gang in oz would be represented by four Emerald City inmates. If Beecher, Hill, Rebadow, and Busmalis represented The Others, then what gang was Keller affiliated with?
[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series
I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
