    No. The number was valid. I agree with whomever said it was a text message, or something similar.

    I dunno.

    I don't think Marlo would trust that motherfucker being within a mile of that office.

    Also, has Omar become the Pine Barrens Russian?

    Herc and/or the lawyer are going to be killed, too, because of Marlo's cell.

    Plus, McNulty's reaction to Templeton's reaction was good, because he knew at that point Templeton had made up the whole thing.

    My OnDemand has been spotty, but finally Comcast is getting it together.

    I think the keys to the future episodes are in the prequels. Joe, one of the characters featured in the prequels, is already dead. The other two aren't holding up very well.

    Like I said, I just caught on, but why was Bubbles upset that he wasn't down with the HIV? I know his past drug use and all and he is trying to clean himself up, but I think getting a negative test would be a good thing, no?

    I think he is harboring massive, suicidal? guilt over his friend's death.... he may think that he deserves it.

    Agreed, but he's asking, why not me? I did all that and more, and I'm still alive? Why?
     
  8. Thought it was interesting how the murders of Prop Joe and Hungryman--major happenings in the game--got a couple of graphs in the Baltimore Sun.

    According to an imdb search of the character Omar Little, he's in, at least, the next 3 episodes. It looks as if they are not posting whether characters/actors are in the final 3 episodes/

    I think it's as subtle as Simon can get about the dearth of veteran reporters in the metro/crime beat. Certainly someone with long standing local ties would have known who they were.

    Though, to be fair to The Sun, the real paper, Dan Rodricks or Gregory Kane may have known and Michael Olesker would have known.

    What is interesting is that Prop Joe's name on the homicide board should have raised some acknowledgments.

    Episodes 5, 6, and 7 have been available on the Internet for quite some time now.
