Wire Episode 50 *SPOILERS*

I can't get an answer on Omar?

Also, how about the "Rawls sucks cock" graffitti on the bathroom wall? Classic.

 

Yeah, I've been wondering when that item was going to come again every since the end of Season 3. I guess it might turn out to be the real reason Rawls can't be commissioner.

 

Exactly....thats what I was getting at, just didn't have the time to elaborate.

One more thing....how about Cutty's hospital roommate watching "Deadwood" in the room, if you read the Q&A with David Simon you'll understand.

 

Charter finally put it up tonight, and I watched it. I'm speechless right now. I am without speech. And I have to watch it again. It was, in a word, perfection.

 

Since I'm seeing characters pop up under screen names around here, I thought I'd give some face time to the unheralded Slim Charles.

 

Yet another thing that's great about The Wire -- in the middle of one of the most brilliantly gripping, undeniably poignant, emotionally draining 79 minutes of TV ever, we find out that Omar actually kept his order ticket for the clock he brought to Prop Joe.

I barely had time to stop laughing before I started crying again.

 

Working out of an unassuming appliance store front, eastside narcotics kingpin Proposition Joe prefers peace to war and profit above all.

In other words, Prop Joe knows all too well that No-Heart Anthony's little brother is not to be trifled with...

 

Just watched the last two episodes, and have a lot to talk about, and too many posts from this thread to quote one by one, so I'll try to just throw out some general points/opinions.

I'm pumped McNulty is back in action... not sure if he'll fall back to his old ways though.
I think Omar is going to be next season's McNulty... as in his character takes a backseat because Simon may feel like he has gotten as much as he can out of him.
No idea what's going to happen to Bubs... I too noticed he made his bed, nice touch... agree that Sherrod's death was pretty easy to see coming.
I'll have to watch again now, but how did you guys find out it wasn't Michael that killed Bodie? Could you just tell on first viewing or did you hear about it and then go back and look? Who was the guy he killed at the end? And didn't they say they had "another" job for him?
Tragic to see Dukie wind up on the corners.
I got the sense that Namond was missing the old lifestyle a bit at the end, like Cutty was back when he was mowing lawns. He may not have the heart for the game, but that easy money probably looked better than cleaning your dishes and getting to school.

That's plenty for now.

 

Boobie....

Two things fooled me about the Bodie hit....

1. I missed Chris' utterance about Michael having worked for Bodie.

2. When Marlo told Michael that he would have Bodie's corner now, there wasn't even an inkling of surprise in Michael's countenance.

 

Namond may not know much right now, but I think he knows he doesn't belong on the corner. He ran headlong away from that shit, and I don't see him going back.

 

I just think it'll be harder for him to put that lifestyle behind him than some do.
