The Wire Season 5 Discussion - **Spoilers**

as have I.


Fucking brilliant. Lets hope them Barksdale movie rumors flesh out.


God what can I turn to for quality TV now:(
 
shame, but ye never know. The animus might strike him again.



on a side note, only one thing has been bugging me about the finale. Stansfield getting angry about his name being dissed on the street, that whole enraged 'MY NAME IS MY NAME' moment.

Thought that was out of character for the cold, quiet bastard.
 
Not so sure myself. Thought it showed him to be less cut out for the move into business than Stringer had been in series 3, and that at heart his code was always that of the streets. It kind of showed Omar's quest as depressingly futile too.

That moment when he stood on the corner in his suit after having run the boys on it off of underscores your point.

It was just a side of him that you hadn't seen. Simon makes that point that

"Most of the guys who survive to get to Marlo's level, they come complete with their reputations. They did stuff on the street to get to the point where people would surround them. First you have to earn it, and after you've earned it, then comes the posse."
 
Bubbles having tea with his sister, upstairs.

No little internet face picture could ever describe how that made me feel.

:):):D:D:D
 
To be honest, Bubbles redemption was soured by the kids descent to using.

As in a way, the other kid taking up Omar's path made something go 'click!' in my brain.

This was the only part that struck me as being a little to pat. Dukie struck me as a kid who would never get involved with drugs, no matter what.

However its a minor grumble at what was a great piece of Television.

I still constantly watch and then re-watch McNaultys meeting with the FBI when they give him the profile of his serial killer and then his wake. Top stuff.
