History Awesome / Oz

** Father Mukada (a liberal, Asian, Catholic, "hack in black") convincing white supremacist Vern Schillinger [[spoiler:to release Beecher's kidnapped son.]]

* The riot in season 1 has several as all hell breaks loose, Said leading his men out to charge the rest. They find some convicts circling on Diane but they flee as soon as the Muslims come at them, one shoved off. Diane is naturally worried but one member of the Brotherhood actually seems to comfort her, showing Said's morals at not wanting her hurt (or more likely sexually assaulted as all the other guards and Father Mukada are beaten).

*** To add to insult to injury, when Schillinger orders the Aryan Brotherhood to kill Beecher, the Brotherhood is too scared of Beecher to even approach him. Everyone Schillinger approaches refuses to make the attempt.

** O'Reilly smashing the head of Dr. Nathan's rapist in with a dumbbell.
** Keller tricking Beecher into killing long time enemy Schillinger.
** O'Reilly manipulating events to get SmugSnake Jia Kenmin, who got his brother Cyril sent to Death Row, beaten to death by guards.

** Schillinger finally getting his karma when Beecher shanks him during the play. Particularly great when he realizes he's been duped and when an extra shouts [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "THAT MOTHAFUCKA'S DEAD!"]] to [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing thunderous applause]].

** And as an added bonus, this is shown to happen [[spoiler: ''twice''. After Cyril gets a stay of execution, but then loses his appeal and is executed again, none of the prisoners say "Ugh we already went through this." They just go back in their pods and bang on the doors again; this second scene also includes a prominent shot of Torquemada, who probably has never ''seen'' Cyril, joining in, although he is barely flicking the glass with his fingers.]]

* Although it has a terrifying subtext, Said protecting Beecher from the Aryans after his parole hearing is great. He literally appears from NOWHERE and shanks Schillinger and proceeds to do the same to Robson, and caps it off with one of the most chilling lines of the series.
--> Said: [[spoiler:"Adebisi lives!"]]

** Wilson Loewen delivering an absolutely devastating ''{{ReasonYouSuckSpeech}}'' to a throughly deserving Schillinger.

** O'Reilly manipulating events to get ''{{Smug Snake}}'' Jia Kenmin, who got his brother Cyril sent to Death Row, beaten to death by guards.

* As Cyril was being escorted to the electric chair, all the inmates of Em City casually stop what they're doing and enter their pods. While the guards expect the worse, they all begin to bang their hands on their pod glass showing their support for Cyril and Ryan. Think about it, the homeboys, aryans, Latinos, bikers, Sicilians, Christians, Muslims, and non specifics coming together after trying to off each other for so long for the sake of two inmates.

*** Burr Redding still grieving for Augustus, Alverez and Guerra who hated each other for so long standing together, on of the homeboys loyal to Poet with no reason to care for the brothers, Busmalis and Rebadow showing that they still are as big hearted as they ever were, even Beecher who should've given up all ope and compassion by this point. For me it was the pinnacle of series, and a hope spot for all the failures of OZ and Em City.
