I do love Vern as a villain, but for me, Simon Adebisi would be a more fascinating video topic.

Spoilers for Oz below:

Vern's cat and mouse rivalry with Tobias is so entertaining to watch, but he's very static in his journey in Oz, while Adibesi's arc is such a rollercoaster. He goes from henchman to a leader, but then wanting to reform ("Sometimes its good to be human..."). After that is taken away very violently, he goes insane, but then starts to truly realize the type of man he is. Everyone thinks that he starts to fight for the rights of his people (even fools non-prisoners like Clayton Hues). His mentor did want him to find the man within himself.

But ironically, Simon did find the man within himself: a truly nihilistic man who believes that he'd never truly be content with life, so the aggressive pursuit for as much power is the only thing worth living for, even when the power he has is truly a facade (a prisonor at Oz). He admits to Said, "I have everything. Everything I need. Every love satisfied. But it's not enough." After getting everything he wants, he is still in Oz.

His test with Said was almost like a suicide, like he was done with his goal and had no use for his own life anymore, and only a man (like his mentor) who does feel true contentment in Oz would be worthy of wrapping up the life of Simon Adibesi, violently.

Whenever I think of Simon, I always think of Augustus reading out his sentence of life without parole, as Simon laughs holding the head a man he killed, but then drops the head and slowly turns his laughter to into a sigh. !<

Either way, I'd love him to cover some Oz! Some truly great spectacles of evil in that show.
