Which, yeah, I know it sounds a little suspicious. Only the first 4 eps of season 7 were make, Method Man wrote pt.2 coming soon on the back but SET never aired the episodes because Viacom is in a legal dispute with HBO over rights. They had season 7 on the streets here in Brooklyn awhile ago, its bootleg. Method Man produced season 7 with Vahue as warden and Querns as governor, some of stars were missing but worth the 4 episodes that they made for SET that never aired.

And then, in the fall of 2004, a fan posted the following messages as part of a discussion: Time went by, and confusion regarding the status of Season 7 grew among board members. I'm sure there was more discussion about the content of Season 7 that I just couldn't access. But it sounds like Lee, Kirk, and Dean all continued their roles? The Wayback Machine only captured certain pages of the board over time, so it was impossible to find context or follow any discussion for long. Okay, obviously parts of this are confusing, so it's hard to tell EXACTLY what was going on and who was involved. He also said by killing Schillinger, he got to tell his story. He said he could have paroled Beecher and Alvarez to ruin the writing possibilities but he didn't know Chuck Zito and Chris Meloni would already be casualties of not wanting to be involved in a project he is not involved in. He said he left Beecher, Alvarez and O'Reilly for the new writers.

Only Said, who express interest in pursuing movie role was removed. He said he left oz with 3 of the 4 main characters from the first episode until season 6. He has used it for 2 and has 2 years remaining for the next writers. He said he signed a 4 year deal to have the oz set in Bayonne, NJ. He said he has ties to HBO and wasn't willing to jepodize that relationship. He said the only way to continue writing oz was to move it to a viacom owner network, not HBO. He told me about the continuing management conflicts involving viacom and their relationship with HBO.

I had emailed him to ask him about those stupid rapper guys taking over his show. I got an email from Tom Fontana late last night. Here is part 1 of his post (part 2 to come later): (Fontana was known to personally answer fans' emails, so I don't have a problem in believing that this is legit.) This fan summarized Fontana's explanation and posted it to the board in March 2004. One of them emailed Tom Fontana, and Fontana replied to him with a quasi-explanation of what was happening. The people on the message board had mixed feelings about a Season 7 when they first caught wind of it in early 2004. But there was a legal dispute between Viacom and HBO over the rights to Oz, and these episodes never aired. Season 7 was supposed to premiere on Showtime's pay-per-view channel ("SET") in late spring 2004 at a cost of $20 per episode. (Method Man played the character Tug Daniels in four episodes of Season 4b, and he and Redman were branching out into TV production around this time.) I'm not sure who wrote the episodes, but it was NOT Tom Fontana, who was not personally involved in this endeavor. So, this is basically what happened: rap duo Method Man and Redman produced at least four (and maybe as many as eight) episodes of a Season 7. These so-called lost episodes of Oz can be divided into two distinct categories: (1) episodes made from additional footage that was created during the course of the show (!), and (2) at least four episodes of a Season 7 that was filmed after Season 6 had aired (!!!). (It's been like trying to put together a puzzle when you only have a handful of pieces.) The whole experience has been frustrating at times, probably because I have a limited understanding of how Wayback really "works" (some of the website's pages were captured, while others weren't some of the captured links work, but many don't, etc.).īUT I was able decipher from several posts at the message board that APPARENTLY never-before-seen (not legally, anyway) additonal episodes of Oz exist! The details are still murky on how they came about, but I can explain the gist of it. Using the Wayback Machine, I've been poking around HBO's old official Oz website, which includes their old fan message boards. I have a long, rambling tale to tell! It's a little exciting, even if the ending is rather anti-climactic.
