I think they're down with Blind Whasisname from the bar Omar pops into. Could be wrong tho.

 

[Madusa]

Butch. He's Omar's best friend and looks after his cash for him

Was wondering why they gave him the magazines at the start of last nights ep,became clear fairly quickly.

 

[Madusa]

what are people's opinions of Proposition Joe?

what are people's opinions of Proposition Joe?

He's fairly moral, but weak. He seriously isn't a Stringer

The actress playing her,almost unrecognizable

 

[Dillinger4]

Nah I reckon Prop Joe is stronger than you give him credit for. He knows how to work people. Stringer didn't.

 

[Madusa]

He's fairly moral, but weak. He seriously isn't a Stringer

he's not meant to be any sort of replacement for stringer! I dont think he's weak at all either. The man's smart. Very smart. Quite like him too cos he's not about the body counts.

 

[Crispy]

Quite like him too cos he's not about the body counts.

That's his weakness

 

[DotCommunist]

oh he's smart, but he is noway near ruthless enough. Not for the Game he is in. Stringer had smarts and ruthlessness.

 

[Belushi]

what are people's opinions of Proposition Joe?

It's all about the bottom line. A real businessman, unlike String.

 

[Madusa]

That's his weakness

hmm, maybe.

 

[Gingerman]

Yep,ob dos'nt want a war with Marlo hence the effort in bringing him on board,smart enough to know that wars and dead bodies are bad for his line of buisness.

 

[El Sueno]

oh he's smart, but he is noway near ruthless enough. Not for the Game he is in. Stringer had smarts and ruthlessness.

I got the feeling that String got more 'gangsta' as it progressed... initially he was the business end of the Barksdale organisation, but when Avon made it clear he didn't think String ever really had the balls for game, he upped it. And consequently got out of his element for the first time. Anyone else agree or am I missing something?

 

[Madusa]

I cant really remember what Stringer was like in the beginning, but it did seem like at one time, Stringer was giving the nod for everyone to get axed.

 

[El Sueno]

I don't think String would've ordered a hit on a Sunday in season one. But once Avon had gone away, from the moment he went behind his back and didn't really think through what the consequences might be, he was heading out of his comfort zone.

 

[London_Calling]

No bodies and he's taking a slice off the top of everyone's package by being the sole supplier.

It's like he's the franchise holder and everyone has their own chain outlet. He, of course, likes to call it a co-op.

 

[London_Calling]

Stinger never understood the street. Thought he did and thought he was better but he never understood the street soldier mentality.

 

[Madusa]

fucksake, I want you lot to catch up to s5!!

 

[Belushi]

Slim

He's one of my favourite characters

'We fight on the lie'

 

[London_Calling]

Madusa - there are plenty of Wire threads that allow spoliers for all 60 hours.

 

[Madusa]

Yeah he's one of my favourites aswell. ''what's your thoughts on this, tall man?''

 

[Madusa]

Madusa - there are plenty of Wire threads that allow spoliers for all 60 hours.

They're all dead as dodos.

 

[spanglechick]

Madusa - there are plenty of Wire threads that allow spoliers for all 60 hours.

but she doesn't want the end spoiled.
