[BlackArab]

it spoils nothing. in fact, it's my moral duty to tell posters to ffwd through the s5 opening credits for the sake of their ears.

But they must wait with anticipation for s4, the best version.

 

[Gingerman]

Daniels is well buff aint he? thought some-one was going to run up behind Nick and shoot him dead at the end when he was looking out over the harbour.

 

[El Sueno]

I was trembling with excitement as the last episode played out, it was epic. But three fucking weeks to wait for s3... dey playin with us BBC suckers

 

[D'wards]

Dem BBC yo's gonna get got if dey be fuckin' wit a nigga's Wire.

Was looking forward to see how Omar was gonna deal with Stringy, gonna be a long wait fo' dat

 

[El Sueno]

Yeah I like the way Omar's been in and out of the first couple of seasons, you can't get rid o' that nigga so easy! I got a feeling he's gonna be a bit of a playa before it's all said and done...

Apparently Lester Freamon's going to be in Holby City sometime soon. Bizarre!

ER? Clockers?

 

[strummerville]

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 . . .

You're joking right?? Steve Earle was truly terrible, embarrassing even, I thought the kid who played Ziggy was superb. The scene when he shot the store owner was one of best bits of acting in S2. He created a great, interesting live wire role whereas Steve Earle just mumbled through a beard and looked awkward.

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Last 2 eps of S3, magnificent.

 

[breasticles]

steve earle is a recovering addict, so it's not a great stretch for him performance wise. but i like his acting style, nonetheless. or maybe its just because he's always onscreen with The God They Call Royo and some of his shininess rubs off. (that man does not get anywhere near enough props on here, yfm? he is just the BEST. the BEST.)

He was Nelson Mandela in 'Endgame' that was on a couple of weeks ago.

the third one is mcnulty's first night on homicide: he gets pissed with the bunk.

Glad someone else thinks this. Steve Earles whole charecter is just a cliched pastiche of every boring 12-step "tale of miraculous recovery" I have ever heard, and I've heard a few. His weird drawn-out mellow hick accent is almost unbearable. his performance is one of the only bad ones in the whole 5 series. IMO.

also, ziggy is classic. it may have been great acting, but I suspect it was more great casting - I just cannot picture anyone else in that role.

Great casting I'd say. His character in Generation Kill was almost identical.

No he wasn't - his character in Generation Kill is sympathetic, funny and engaging; Ziggy is a twat

 

[London_Calling]

But why is ziggy a twat, why was he written that way . . .

 

[BlackArab]

No he wasn't - his character in Generation Kill is sympathetic, funny and engaging; Ziggy is a twat

I'm thinking of the hyperactivity, motormouth etc in comparison to the more calmer sidekick, sound familiar? Having read Generation Kill when it came out I was familiar with the character and could see exactly why they had cast him in that role.

 

[Gingerman]

Wahey just checking next weeks TV guide and noticed the 3rd series starts on Mon at 23:20pm

 

[Crispy]

You guys are in for a treat

 

[digitell]

I thought it was back on this week, then got seriously hacked off when I realised that it wasn't. The wait has been too long.

 

[Crispy]

Anyone know what sort of viewing figures it's been getting on the beeb?
