Currently watching Oz and re-watching The Wire simultaneously (and pretending all the shared actors are playing their Wire origin stories in Oz) and the scene that always makes me laugh is Bunk at the end of season two looking at a table full of photos of decapitated bodies with their hands cut off and says "I bet you there's a fuckin' police detective somewheres else looking at a table full of heads right now."

I take back what I said before, the funniest line in the series is Bubbles calling hotdogs Pimp Steaks

surf rock posted:- I'm obviously familiar with the idea of teaching the test, but it's wild to have every class not only directly teaching the questions but all in the same unit (language arts) regardless of the class's subject. Oof. Season 4 is set in 2005/2006 where this kind of stuff was common practice in schools throughout the US, it was peak No Child Left Behind era. I graduated in 2005 and throughout highschool we had an entire class that we all attended for several hours a week that literally taught us how to cheat at standardized tests - they taught us about common answer patterns and all kinds of "test-taking strategies" like how to deduce the right answer without even reading the question (e.g. "if one answer is significantly longer than the others it's virtually guaranteed to be the right answer, so select it and skip the question"). It was all focused around English and Math no matter what teacher was teaching it, because those were the only things our standardized tests covered. Also it was generally taught by teachers of other subjects (science, non-English languages, art, social studies, history, etc) so that the English/Math teachers could keep teaching us English & Math like normal. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Feb 28, 2024 |

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I don't know if you ever watched Oz but it's like, a sea of Wire actors, both in bit parts and as regulars. It's very jarring. Looking forward to your Homicide write-ups! Lieutenant Daniels doing a fake Jamaican accent was one of the highlights of Oz. If anyone watches Oz though be prepared to bail as soon as it starts getting weird, I made it as far as the aging drug arc before I realized how much I was regretting spending my time watching it. It really goes off the rails and straight into the deep end in later seasons.
