Oooo

 

[D'wards]

Fucking hell, they killed Russell Bell - i never saw that coming - though it was closing in on him, thoughtb he was too important in the context of the series to be killed off.

Wonder whats gonna happen to Avon now, after String put Colvin on his ass.

What an episode!

 

[Dillinger4]

real double-judas moment with the avon/stringer hug.

The scene on the balcony where they both know they have betrayed each other is pure pure Greek tragedy.

 

[London_Calling]

This scene on the balcony is probably the best single scene in all of The Wire.

It might be mine as well.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Yes, you did just see Rawl's in the gay bar.

One of my fave bits, laughed my head off. Bit pointless trying to tell my Mum the beauty of it, she wasn't interested.

 

[Gingerman]

I like the joke Brother Mouzone made to Omar about going in the front entrance.

"'We need to go in through the front door'
'That will be a departure for you' the scenes with them together were great,make a great team,cant believe one of the major characters is no more ,Barksdale's badass way wins out,Stringer did'nt want to harm Avon, just to have him taken outa the scene for a while for things to calm down.

On an older wire thread, there was much talk of petitioning for a wire spinoff sitcom - the omar and brother mouzone show. omar would get into scrapes, mouzone would sort it out then omar would forget to buy harpers. it'd be classic

 

[Madusa]

god, it's really bad for me to keep reading this thread...I've only just watched season 1 waiting for 2 to d/l.

 

[Crispy]

get off! there's massive spoilers!

 

[foo]

It has relevance to the last episode of this series, a friend who hadn't seen the film was gutted when he failed to make the connection and I explained it to him.

i thought the last episode was the weakest one tbh. it really disappointed me.

 

[Madusa]

yeah i knows NOW. ''OMG, I cant believe they killed stringer bell...meh meh meh'' cocks.

im still reeling from wallace's death.

 

[London_Calling]

It must be joyous when you write something that comes together from so many directions - on a number of levels - in such a powerful way; all those story arcs and character arcs and themes and motifs in this hour.

Just a fucking beautiful architecture to the piece.

I'd watch that!

 

[Gromit]

Poor McNaulty. He's gonna be gutted. Just as he pins a wrap on Stringer after three years.

LEAVE! LEAVE NOW. UNSUBSCRIBE AND WALK AWAY. YOU ARE DOING A DISSERVICE TO THE WIRE.

Join us after you catch up, we'll welcome you with punch and pie.

 

[Madusa]

But, but...when can I join in? After season 3 or somesuch? Reckon I'll have season 2 under my belt by the end of the weekend.

 

[Crispy]

Read the TV listings and see which episode they're up to

 

[Madusa]

God! ok.

 

[skyscraper101]

Mouzone: Pull it slowly, then toss it.

Omar: Oh I will move slow. But I ain't tossing nothin.... Bow Tie.

 

[Gromit]

Madusa,

Season 4 starts Tuesday I think someone said.

 

[Flashman]

I had 'im Bunk. And he didn't know.

 

[BlackArab]

i thought the last episode was the weakest one tbh. it really disappointed me.

It was the visual commentary that stunned me.

Mads, stay away! spoilers ruined my enjoyment of the Wire first time round, in fact don't read anything on the net as you're bound to stumble acroos them. I am jealous though, you have so much to discover.

 

[El Sueno]

One thing I wasn't sure I'd clocked, cos in between all the exciting bits I was chomping down some quiche, but didn't Stringer have a private meet with Chief Bunny at some point? What was the piece of paper String passed to him?

Where Avon is laying his head, innit.

 

[DotCommunist]

Where Avon is laying his head, innit.

and, has loads of weaponry so is thus breaking his parole terms.

 

[El Sueno]

That's what I thought but I had a sneaky feeling he was giving up Cutty or Marlo

It ALL makes sense now. What a fucking episode. Gonna have to watch that one again!

 

[Gingerman]

Cuttys real name is Dennis Wise

 

[Dillinger4]

cutty from the cut
