Probably had no choice. I can assume Jack or the Board, right before Gavin got fired, made it clear to Hoover that they would not tolerate any funny business when he was banishing Gavin from the corporate HQ. Especially given that Gavin's petty nature is well known enough to his enemies that Hoover would be a…

They totally missed a chance to have Jarod FINALLY cut loose and basically force Gilfoyle and Dinesh to bend the knee to Richard and his desire not to sell to Keenan. Given the amount of crap he puts up from them, having him violently force them to support Richard (and their utter shock at how sick and demented Jarod…

They are most likely downplaying the trauma so Moira can be able to rebel and help bring down Gilhed. It's the only reason they undercut the arc: to have Moira be at the front of the line when Mayday makes their move to bring down the government…..

I think they can keep the show going by playing up the plot point of a revolution but not the women's uprising sort of one. The book implies that Gilhead ended up going through it's own version of the Stalin Purges and they can get some mileage out of the Waterfords struggling to keep themselves from being killed in…

Moira's backstory in the book though was pretty cliched. She was a walking talking sassy man hating lesbian who's life revolved solely around her lesbianism and feminism.

Netflix being pussies and not telling the SJW outrage machine the real reason the show is dead and never coming back:

I'd argue the bleakness factor and the fact that Oz is one of the first shows that truly lives up to the "Anyone can die at any time" factor hype, help it stay fresh and relevant today. AMC's Walking Dead WISHES Negan or Governor could be as wicked and evil as some of the the bad guys on Oz. And a good number of the…

Part of the problem with Oz is that most of the actors only did it for a lark/easy paycheck, plus the fact that it was edgier material for some actors that was far more interesting than their usual 9-5 network work.

Except Anabesi is pretty much a non-entity until season two. We don't get his backstory until season one's finale and even then, he spends the bulk of season one as a nobody in the background before rising to nightmare level big bad in seasons 2-4….

It's worth watching but be warned, the show is bleak as hell (makes OITNB look like Threes Company), characters do horrible unspeakable things with no comeuppance (see Ryan O'Reilly), and lots of stuff that will piss off Generation Tumbler……

The time skip was pretty gratuitous for the sake of speeding up the plot (IE Sy's in a coma, which in turn causes Emmit to lose what little grip on sanity he has).

Jimmy's mom was just as pathetic as the dad, in her own way. She truly thought Jimmy could do no wrong and from one story Chuck told, IIRC, she was the type of doormat for Jimmy that allowed him to do stuff like hijack her birthday party for himself and the two girls he was dating at the same time, and then make her…

They got off the boat towards the end of the first half of season two, when the gang finally got to Mexico and reunited Victor with his gay lover and his cartel cronies.

To be fair, since the show began fans have been expecting Madison to go full Ricktator. Hell, there is a hugely popular fan theory still going, that Fear the Walking Dead is a stealth origin series for "The Whisperers", the group of bad guys who come after Negan and the Saviors in the Walking Dead comic. And that…

That is easy to explain, the last paragraph: mass conscription of males, plus the fact that most of the people in STEMs fields were most likely among those targeted for conscription to build infrastructure and probably bribed by the Gilhead government with elite status to get them to stay.

Don't have the exact math, but the book gives somewhere between 5-10 years.

Not really; again, read the book: one of the very first things Gilhead did was basically wipe out ALL vice related to sex. They shut down pornographic video stores and prostitutes and sex workers were "vanished". The book even points out how people like June CHEERED this happening, and only later, when she was made a…

As part of what I posted above, one of the central goals of Jezebels is to not isolate the super smart women they could not break, but to break their spirit another way: through hedonism.

In the book Jezabels is basically treated as a sort of "kindness" to women who could not be broken by the system: you basically get sterilized and turned into whores for the men to fuck, BUT you got all of the freedom you could want in so far as being able to drink, do hard drugs, and even engage in lesbianism without…

The show played around with the issue of how much Elizabeth actually loves Phillip vs how much of her affection is basically Elizabeth play acting for the sake of her partner, because Phillip works best when he thinks what the two have is real a lot in the early seasons. But there have been a lot of examples with…
