The Wire comes to BBC2 (Spoiler free, please)

[Madusa]

No idea what the song is called but i think it's a funk piece that was used in a Lynx advert years ago. It's kinda question and answer kinda tune Q(Bass): ''do do do do do ba da ba da?'' A(Trumpet): ''de de de de!'' Then the bass goes ''do-do-do dodo/bam badadada...''

HTH.

Marlo's a horrible unlikable cunt,having that poor security guard killed just because he fronted him up,Im surprised Omar did'nt know who Marlo was when he robbed him.

Yeah. And his eyes are too far apart.

Yeah - he's becoming a sod, that boy.

Avon/Stringy would not have done that. I'm hoping eventually Marlo gets it in a horrible way.

 

[Dillinger4]

Marlo is coldhearted.

The actor playing Colonel Raymond Foerster died not long after this ep,noticed he looked poorly in last nights ep.

most def that. Remember when the Barksdale crew set up a honeytrap with that prossie and he caught her coming out of their van when one of the guys slung the used johnnie out of the window: the same as what he had done with her? He shot her dead through BOTH tits and then shot her through the mouth probably shooting her brains out all over the pavement!

Does anybody know the music being played when Omar holds up the poker game from last nights episode? I know its a famous song just can't find out what it is.

the meters - cissy strut.

Big thank you, yeah I get it.

 

[hektik]

Im surprised Omar did'nt know who Marlo was when he robbed him.

he did though, didn't he? he just didn't care.

marlo says "this aint over"
and omar says something like " i can find your peoples much easier than they can find me"

which i took to mean he fully knew who he was robbing...he just didn't mind any.

 

[Dillinger4]

he didn't give it no never mind

 

[Gromit]

I think Marlo can be classified as an emotionless sociopath.

Perfect qualifications for a crime boss.

 

[Madusa]

yeah course he knew. Remember when he went to get cereal in his lilac pj's and afterwards was like: I dont even want this (about the bag of pills) and was like ''It's not what you rob, it's who from'' or whatever it was. He wants the big players, does our Omar.

 

[Dillinger4]

Have you all been following the ring, btw?

 

[Madusa]

yes, of course.

 

[El Sueno]

Marlo is coldhearted.

Yep, and with a passion for his homing pigeons... Nothing's ever straightforward in the Wire init!

 

[Gingerman]

Rawles knows which way the wind is blowing politics wise.

 

[Gromit]

He's read the script.

 

[D'wards]

Have you all been following the ring, btw?

Omar has it now, right, unless i missed something.

Chris is a ruthless mofo as well huh? Killing that delivery woman like that - thats some cold-hearted shit, yo.

I'm pleased Prez is doing better at school too.

 

[Gromit]

Have you all been following the ring, btw?

Whose was it to begin with?

The fat guy Marlo took it off or did I miss when the fat guy got it?

(fat guy <> the fat man as Marlo calls him)

 

[DotCommunist]

Chris is cold, but the actor playing marlo has proper dead shark-eyes.

 

[gnoriac]

I'm pleased Prez is doing better at school too.

Is he? The kids are still treating him like shit. TBH I'd much rather be a cop than a teacher in that school, less violence if nothing else.
But is that what it's all about, Prez's way of paying his dues to society for accidentally killing a colleague?

 

[D'wards]

Chris is cold, but the actor playing marlo has proper dead shark-eyes.

Looks quite nice here - shows he's a good actor i suppose - still with the eyes though

 

[DotCommunist]

He turns up in Heroes as well. I was all 'run for lives! it is Marlo!'

 

[Dandred]

Anyone watch the story of penicillin on BBC 4 a few days ago?

I finally got round to watching it and guess who my playing one of the lead characters? Jimmy Mcnulty!

Marlo would'nt be able to get away with that shit if he joined Co-Op,I liked the way Prez gave the young kid some of his lunch

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I've only just starting watching this.

I've obviously missed loads of episodes. I have no idea what's going on.
