So many particulars. So many questions.
But he loves his pigeons. Cold as he is he has that weird outlet.
Yeah, the barksdale boys were people who ran on character and heart. Marlo is a cold check to that sort of sentiment. Game the same, just got more fierce.

Obama is obviously Omar. The gay guy who likes to steal from drug dealers.
Or he is kinda like Carcetti. Winning despite not being the usual colour for the job.

This is quite interesting:
Do you come out with these lines going about your day to day business in northampton?

Apparantly Tyson realised his brutal power when an older lad was bullying him and pulled the head off his favourite pigeon, and Tyson lost his temper and took him apart

no, but I have slipped in other subtler wireisms into everyday life.

Yeh, I was just going to mention that! There were six of them, or something, and he knocked each one of them down, and kept them all down for about half an hour.
Or something along those lines.

Indeed.

i also do a prop joe "i've got to think on it" when someone asks me a question at work...
i think the thing with the ring does tell us a lot about how property is seen in west baltimore - like omar says "money don't have no owners, only spenders" - this applies to any property - the only owner it has is the person who can take it, and not have it taken off of him.
Even if Marlo didn't assume it was omar that micheal took it off, he knows that micheal has at least taken it from someone - therefore he's a predator in the game, not the prey, and not someone who will be at the bottom of the food chain. it's what marks someone out, as deserving of some kind of respect.
there are also parallels here with bub and his shopping cart - that guy just takes his stuff, because bubs is weak, therefore doesn't get respect. officer walker also takes stuff from bubs - because he knows there wont be a comeback.
also seen where kenard steals namond's package - he senses that namond is weak, so tests him out. and also in marlo taking those lollipops - the guard knows he has got to step to, otherwise marlo would be there everyday taking. same applies to corners, with marlo taking the corner that bodie was working...he didn't want it when it was shit, but once it became valuable, he was having it. The ability to take, without fear of consequences - that's where the power is.
like namond etc say in the classroom - everybody always be watching. seeing waht you do, seeing if you are weak, and if you are weak, they'll come in and take it from you.
the simple fact of micheal having the ring shows marlo everything that he needs to know about what kind of person micheal is, and whether he'd be right for his organisation.

hektik - As mentioned earlier, I agree DS is talking about the concept of property and ownership in west Baltimore. You pulled some nice references together. Omar's big rip is also interesting in that sense, especially in the re-selling.
More generally, the opening five minutes tonight has some fundamental clues if you want to try and work out what the hell is happening, at least as I worked it out.

I liked what hektik said and he has changed my mind on it being a red herring. Well done.

I cant look at marlo without thinking ''dead shark eyes'' from whoever said it on here. rofl.

They were just as bad when he appeared in heroes. Cold gaze

The first time I watched it, I was underwhelmed.
But I know what happens.
I think this is definitely a series that will stand up to repeated viewings.

Heh, wait for it. You know how the Wire goes now. Chapters not episodes.

I can't tell you its not different. It's whether you're up for a different kind of Wire: Are you interested enough in the characters to stick around - as DS said "fuck the casual viewer".
