I know it's a thread about a TV show, but that's no excuse for RogueLeader resorting to repeats.

It's not a repeat, it's a re-imagining.

It's not a repeat, it's a re-imagining.

So it's a reimagining of a reimagining?

Yeah, took me 3 or 4 episodes to get into it. After the first I thought 'this is gooseberry fool!' but once I was hooked, I was hooked.

Still need to watch series 3, 4 and 5 though. :shifty:

Finished S4

EDIT: The best season so far without question. It's just light years ahead of anything I've ever seen, including the previous seasons.

It's debatable whose story is sadder, Randy, Dukie or Michael. I'm going with Randy but they all made me cry.

Dukie by far.

Dukie by far.

The thing with Dukie though is he's always had a bad life. For a while at least Randy was in a relatively happy stable home and just because he tries to do the right thing, his life is burned down.

Good point!

Season 5 spoilers

The change in his personality after being ground down in the shared house is heartbreaking.

:cry:

About halfway through 3 at the moment. It's just unbelievably good, I could literally watch it all day and not get bored. I always felt I coasted through 4 the first time I saw it so looking forward to that even more.

Interesting fact, Jaime Hector (Marlo) provided the voice for Emile in Halo Reach.

Yeah, I caught that as soon as I started the game.

Midway through season 4 now and its strawberry floating brilliant. Chris Partlow is such a brilliant character, and pretty much anything he and snoop does are the highlights of the season.

The best scene hands down is when he kills Michael's father, it was actually scary (even Snoop looked shocked and she Is a cold-blooded killer)

Also Slim Charles

Bottom of the strawberry floating PAGE!!!!

You didn't even wait to get the mothafucka in the house!

Just thinking about The Wire gives me more pleasure than watching over 99% of other TV shows.

Feck it, careful spending out the window. As soon as I get paid the 1-5 set is mine.

Yep, I let out tears, for the first time ever watching something. I've been stone cold dry through so many moments in TV and film that everyone else cries at, and after all that I finally let it go for a drug-dealing murderer. A contemptible human being I'd never be within a mile of if I could help it in real life.

Nothing special. Just a pawn that made it quite far down the chessboard.

Yeah, I too was terribly upset over ^^his^^ death. Probably more so (SEASON 3 SPOILER) than when Stringer Bell is topped

That scene will stay with me until I die. So frightening. Probably the most violent thing I've ever seen on TV :cry:

It was parts like that towards the end of S4 that made me really start to ~~dislike~~ hate the Stanfield organization. They're just horrible people.

I've started to download S5 now. Can't wait to start it, but I at the same time I don't want it to end.

How did that scene make you hate the Stansfield people? :lol:

Chris wasn't exactly murdering Mother Theresa.

Err, apart from him not doing anything wrong? Didn't Michael make Chris think he was a child molester? When really he was just taking the mother's benefits. Didn't deserve to be killed anyway (not like that)

Also not just that scene if you read my post.

What made you think Michael was lying?
