Season 5 premiere of The Wire on OnDemand now!

Did anyone else know that this was just a 10-episode season rather than a full 13?

I had no idea, or had forgotten.

 

HBO wanted it to be even shorter.

 

Or subconsciously blocked out the trauma ... crap.

 

Just 10 episodes? Damn, didn't no that. I'll sure HBO will charge the full "first born child" price for the season when it comes out on DVD.

As I told Doc last night, I'm most curious to see Randy's status. And I'm almost convinced that his fate in Season 4 will be the last we see of him in the entire show.

 

If you do the torrents thing, episode 2 is out there to be had right now on piratebay. Rumor has it the next five episodes are also floating about in other places.

And BTW the last two or three episodes of the 10 episode season are supposed to be 90 minutes.

 

If that's the case, will Randy having the same last name as Cheese become The Wire's Russian in the woods?

 

That's my guess no matter what

 

Who knows. At least we'll finally get to find out what illegal shit Daniels did when he worked narcotics. How long as that thread been hanging - year two?

 

That goes back to the third or fourth episode of the entire series.
