IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Looks like Valchek is the least of his problems, right now.
Wonder what the Greeks will do to the boy.
Who was the bloke who phoned up the Greek? FBI or 5-0? Was he a character you've seen before?

I remembered where i'd seen Ziggy before - he graphically indulged in a bit of Michael Hutchence style auto-erotic asphyxiation in the film Ken Park - therefore i can say he is cleary wearing a prosthetic in The Wire.

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
The second. But you have to watch the whole thing, in order, from the very beginning or it won't make any sense.

The dialogue between Omar and Brother Mouzone while he's laid there shot is superb. I had to watch it again.

Well, that's part of the confusion; the mystery man.
When we first see this guy he's on the end of a phone that Fitz has called. Fitz assumes he's phoning the FBI in San Diego (his computer dials the number for him) which is where the guy was when he had dealings with the Greeks a few years ago, yet very soon after he's meeting the top Greek on a bench (and to who the Greek passes info about the 'narco-terrorist' Columbians). San Diego is on the other coast.
We're also invited to look at the crest on his computer monitor while he eats his lunch, which doesn't like like the FBI crest but it might be a little familiar.
No one in the Detail understands yet why they dumped their phones either - Frank said his had been flagged but that's really the answer.
Something isn't right somewhere.
Well that sucks. Despite not knowing what was going on a lot I still enjoyed watching it.

Omar: "Bout a year ago a boy named Brandon got got here in Baltimore. Stuck an burn before he pass."
Mouzone: "The Game. Is The Game."

It's still worth watching but its' worth chasing the first and first half of the second season up before you get onto season 3.

That whole scene was fucking awesome.
Yeah I'll keep watching it.
It's well worth torrenting each series and watching it right through, twice. I'm just doing that with series 3. I'm so immersed in it that Coldharbour Lane and the west side have pretty much blended into one in my brain. It makes life very exciting.

Read somewhere he wears a fat suit for the part of Frank
"You know what the problem is, Brucie? We used to make shit in this country... build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket"
A great man.

Be careful looking at YouTube clips of the Wire as there will be spoilers on the other videos. I made this mistake before and found out a storyline which I hadn't seen coming. 
What I have discovered this time, is the existence of Wire prequels, anybody know anything about these?

Yeah, they're a bit silly imo. Not even sure they're proper David Simon originals. Just tiny one scene minimi's HBO put out.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Try and switch over and speak like Police. Real Po lice.
Also I fucking adore the end montage of season 2. What is that piece of music.

Somewhat heavy symbolism towards the end there with Frank sinking into his own channel before fighting free to drift towards his beloved union and docks . . .
What fantastically tight plotting though, it just all hangs together so well.

I saw one about Omar's early days and the same thing with Prop Joe. Prop Joe's was set in 1962, making him in his 50s during The Wire which seemed odd.
How many are there anyway?
The Steve Earle song "I Feel Alright" plays over the closing montage.

Can't remember how many there were - I thought three, but now I can only remember the two you mention (Omar and firends at a bus stop and Prop Joe in the playground).
Fwiw, I really enjoyed Steve Earle in The Wire, tremendous acting. You might wonder about his range but, in this, superb. Unlike Nicky and Ziggy Sobotka, for example, and some of the dock workers . . .
