|  #1 Posted on 21.1.03 1316.30 | Instant Rating: 0.00 | OK...I never saw the first season. And I think I only saw an ep or two of #2.
But, what has been the show's worst storyline?
"Supernatural" Cloutier - I think the writers realized it was a stinker and just dropped it, having him disappear into fat air.
The aging drug - to knock years off of prisoners' sentences and thus reduce overcrowding, they introduce a drug that articially ages the inmates. Yeah, right.
Housing those Chinese refugees in a maximum security prison, out in the open...
Can't remember any others right now...

| #2 Posted on 21.1.03 1337.47 | Instant Rating: 6.73 | William Jiles solving the murder of Peter Marie's husband from 30 years ago was pretty brutal. Rebadow is generally involved in some real stinkers, and that doesn't seem to be changing with this whole new librarian thing.
Oz is better than the WWE in that they'll just drop a bad storyline instead of driving it into the ground (see Dawn marie and Torrie).
Anything supernatural or in the realm of fantasy generally gets a big thumbs down. They've done about one a season forever (the first was Rebadow's whole "talking to God" thing that he hasn't done in a while) and they always suck.

| #5 Posted on 21.1.03 2154.32 | I'll vote for the Chinese Immigrants and the aging pill too. I don't care what state in OZ is supposed to be in, you mean to tell me the only place for refugees is a prison? Even an average size county has ONE school with a gymasium.

The supernatural stuff I can handle. The non-supernatural stuff that's just ridiculous is a different story.
For instance, that chick who wants to marry Busmalis. That's another good example.

I thought they hinted at it, but also implied that it could have been Vernie or Beecher that was behind the attack.
All three of them seemed to show no reaction when they heard the news...

| #8 Posted on 22.1.03 1640.53 | What can I say? The 3 main offenders have been cited by everyone so far (aging drug, Cloutier, & the Chinese refugees, though that one was explained about as well as possible), and for the most part I dont hate any Oz storylines, but I sure as hell get annoyed by some of them, the most recent being Brass stealing Rebadow's lottery winnings. Not because of how it was done, but because Brass is back on the job hunting down his ankle slasher like nothing ever happened. McManus and Murphy both knew he tried to take the money and run, but they're both acting like nothing happened... I know its not so much a story line thing as a character issue but still, it rubs me the wrong way. From the looks of things though Brass is gonna be the next hack to end up in the cop unit or the morgue so I guess it's cool...

| #9 Posted on 22.1.03 1647.50 | Instant Rating: 6.73 | Yeah, consistency is the big thing with Oz. On one hand, it's a nice change of pace from most TV, where storylines are so obvious and predictable. On the other hand "what ever happened to..." and "didn't he say a few episodes ago that..." could start 90% of the conversations about the show.
I don't mind when characters change (look at Beecher, his character progression was great), it's when they change without explanation. For instance, Timmy Kirk used to be O'Reilly's fairly regular sidekick before he became Mr. "want a blowjob?" much less Satan.

| #14 Posted on 24.1.03 2236.54 | While I was thinking about the worst storyline, I was reminded of some of the ways the prisoners ended up there. How about the best "flashback" to the crime? I'd start a new thread for this, but I there are already three Oz topics going...
I'd say Chris Keller. He took a hostage, shot his victim and raced off on a motorcycle before wiping out.
