I really wouldn't advise reading an episode summary instead of watching the episode itself. There's a link to it in the first post of the Weeds thread.

Hmm, Google Images don't do her justice. Theresa is just so strawberry floating hawt. :oops:

Also, Cutty pisses all over Stringer now and is the coolest character in the program (I'm 3/4s through season 3).

I'm currently reading 'Clockers' by Richard Price and the similarities between it and The Wire are numerous. There was even a line I just read that was used verbatim in The Wire.

Obviously it makes sense as Richard Price became a writer on The Wire. Definitely a recommended read along with The Corner, Homicide and Drama City.

You need to read Drama City! Pelecanos (a writer on The Wire) used a lot of the research he'd done for the novel as the basis for Cutty's character.

She is strawberry floating .

Yoshi - give me a tosser rating, out of 10, for Ziggy, once you're a few episodes in.

He's the one blotch on an otherwise perfect show. God I hate this guy. 1o outta strawberry floatin' 10.

Not liking season 2 anywhere as near as much as the first I have to say; it doesn't seem as rich or as riveting so far.

I could never get over the fact that his real name in the show was Dennis Wise.

Doomy - Which would you say is the best of those books?

Yoshi - as others said to me, I'm sure he's meant to be a tit but, still, doesn't stop him being an annoying banana split.

JK - yep, that one got me too, 'specially as Chelsk fan.

One thing I'm wondering is whether Weebey will ever appear on the show again (I'm up to 3-10).

Don't answer that.

I would say Homicide. But they are all excellent books. If you're a Cutty fan though Drama City is well worth a read.

Hmm, I do need to read more... Thanks.

Umm.. that's her characters name. The actress is called Brandy Burre.

Yes, I gathered that, hence me saying Theresa is fit as she seems fitter in the show than she is in real life..

Got a cracking body too.

Just started S2.

I think it's gonna be a slow burner. Ziggy is a cock. And I didn't really like any of the other dockland workers.

Still s'only Ep1.

Yeah and she's sexier than your bird off Weed or whatever it's called.

Yo mayne, I seen every episode of The Wire now mayne, illest show on tv, what more can I say???

To me overall Season One is my favourite, Season Four is quality, season Three is good and 5 and 2 are still better than almsot every other tv show.

Some really good twists and what not and pretty much every character was spot on.

Glad I finally got into wathching.

My favourite character is still probabaly Avon, String Bell is quality, D, Bodie, Bunk, Freeman, Namond, Mike, Cutty, Marlo, Snoop, Chris and Clay Davis. Sheeeeeeeeeeeiiit.

Just finished Season 3.

Easily my favourite season so far, and, if season four gets even close to the hype, I'm going to love the show even more.

:wub:

Quick Question about the final episode
