For those of us watching The Wire Series 5 on FX

Like the man said: how many scenes from the Sopranos do you recall? How many lines of dialogue?

How many discrete scenes from The Wire have stuck with you? How many lines of dialogue?

Probably more from The Wire. It made The Sopranos look like a sitcom.

Oh, and I think The Sopranos was great. I just think The Wire is a pretty different kind of program.

Me too: it was a dry semi documentary - "The Negro In Its Natural Habitat"

Nothing hard about saying a'ight if you've got the proper mouth for it.

SPOILER



Think about it: by the time Omar gets whacked, do you really even care anymore?

Gimpy fucker...


Although it was mildly interesting when he made that five story jump and survived and immediately disappeared. It was like Michael Myers from the Halloween movie series. No matter what you do to him, he keeps coming back.

p.s. if you'd taken McNulty or Omar as a role model, depending on your predilection, I'm sorry for all I've said.

It's good for a boy to have a hero.

I've finally finished season 5 so I can finally read this thread/

There's a Bunk-sized hole in my life

me too

(((((bunk)))))

enjoyed it, season 5, I liked all that trapped in a lie stuff, although i found it difficult to believe that mcnulty could have got away with it for so long, with more and more people knowing, but the cops were getting extra dollars for overtime so would have milked it too

I loved it when the FBI profiler described the 'killer' - McNulty to a T.
