Really awesome interview with Tom Fontana on male sexuality in Oz. It mostly focuses on Beecher/Keller, and it's got a really cute pic of them too!

And here's some adorable quotes from Christopher Meloni :D
Christopher Meloni: (on fans reactions to Chris Keller in 'Oz')
The most letters that Tom Fontana ... received was when my character pissed in a bucket. Tom's like 'He's forced boys to give him blowjobs and twisted their heads off and they're worried about him peeing into the bucket?' Murder we can handle! Bodily functions cross the line! Lol I can so relate to that, seeing inmates on the toilet always used to gross me out far more than eyes being gouged out.
Christopher Meloni: (on Keller and Beecher's relationship in 'Oz')
You can never estimate what the strength of their love for each other is. All you can measure is the growth – or lack of growth – in their relationship. I mean Keller tried everything to win Beecher back. He murdered in bizarre attempts to get Toby to love him again, which just shows how confused he was about the whole [love] thing.
Christopher Meloni: (on what Chris Keller would give Tobias Beecher for their 10th anniversary)
A whole day at Helena Rubenstein spa and then a beating
Christopher Meloni: (on kissing Lee Tergeson in 'Oz')
I've kissed Lee twice. He's actually the first guy I've ever kissed. The first time I did it, it was actually a drunk, lusty kiss. That was easy to do, because it was a calculated plan on Keller, my character's, part. The second time I kissed him was sincere. It was out of feelings of love for this man. That was hard.... Both of us were trembling. The director came up and wanted to talk to us about the scene. We just said let us do it. We did it in one take.
Christopher Meloni: (on Keller's relationship with Sister Peter Marie in 'Oz')
How many opportunitues do you get to seduce a nun? Come on, wouldn’t everyone try and climb such a steep? I’ve always wanted to corrupt a nun. I’m Catholic for Christ’s sake.
Christopher Meloni: (on a happy ending for Beecher and Keller)
I'd have them break out of OZ together run and hide, assume new names and identities. Keller would run a laundromat and beecher would be a stay at home kinda wife.
Christopher Meloni (on kissing Connie Nelson in SVU)
Awesome - but don't tell my wife . . . or Lee Tergeson.
Christopher Meloni: (on why he did 'Oz'.)
I wanted to do it because it was Tom Fontana and then later because it was Lee.

That's so perfect :)
Thanks for all the great quotes.
I'm rewatching "OZ" myself and now I'm getting nervous because it's heading towards the ultratwisted part of Beecher and Keller's relationship.
At least I'll always have this:

Date: 2007-12-09 01:23 am (UTC)Season 4 after the break-up?
I was always quite partial to the season 6 scene where Keller ties Beecher up and threatens to shank him, poor Beecher is shaking and terrified, and then suddenly Keller straddles Beecher's lap saying "All I really want is for you to love me again". Then the kiss *sighs* Oh and thr part of that scene when he's walking around Beecher ruffling his hair, and you could really see the creepy serial killer part of him then. I'm such a perv...

Date: 2007-12-09 01:43 am (UTC)Or is it S5? This is ramping for when Keller sets up Beecher to get Beecher thrown back in jail because he can't take Beecher being with the lawyer. S6 is just "I guess I have to watch this with a pitcher of margaritas" because it's so messed up! Keller really showed his colors.
Oh and thr part of that scene when he's walking around Beecher ruffling his hair, and you could really see the creepy serial killer part of him then. *sighs* I'm such a perv...
LOL! At that point that's when I finally realized, "oh yes, he is what he is. He never said he wasn't a sociopath."

Date: 2007-12-09 01:49 am (UTC)And yep, season 6. I think that being on death row, and knowing that Beecher had this great new life, messed Keller up a fair bit. I know that originally the ending for Keller was supposed to be the season 4 farewell scene, but then CM asked to come back. But Keller spend most of the time in seasons 5 and 6 locked up, he couldn't even scheme with Ryan any more or share the pod with Beecher, it wasn't the same for him :/
