The Wire - Greatest TV show of the decade

Season 4 is pretty much everyone's favourite season for good reason.

That's the Tom Waits original too, all the over are covers.

Just wondering, but is this just some random street kid that Bubs is trying to help with school etc or is there another reason for it that I missed?

He's the kid Bubbles met in season 3 and became Bubbles' new "business partner".

I know he's his business partner etc, I just don't remember him meeting him. :lol:

Did we ever find out how Bunny got his name? I have always been curious about it.

Oh god.

The start of season five is amazing with the photocopier as the "lie detector machine" :lol:

It's just beautiful

"Are we ready Professor?"

:lol:

According to David Simon's book Homicide, that photocopier thing actually happened.

I'm only three episodes in, but I can't believe Lester has agreed to go along with McNulty's crazy serial killer thing. :fp:

Just finished S05E05 and this series seems to be getting somewhere now. Chris & Snoop have just taken out the blind guy who's Omar's mate, Omar's coming back and spoke to Slim about what happened. Chris & Snoop are searching for Omar now, and i've got to admit, Snoop is probably one of my favourite characters from any show ever. Marlow's just taken out Proposition Joe too which is a shame, always thought he was a really good character. Although let's face it, who isn't. There's not been enough Bubs, Cutty or Prezbo in this series yet though.

EDIT: Oh snap. It was S05E04 I finished, I started watching E06 and was baffled when they started talking about Omar doing some spiderman gooseberry fool after jumping out of a window. :lol:

Despite having it spoilered for me in this thread for shitty spoiler labelling, i've just seen S05E08 spoilers Omar getting got. I was genuinely shocked how it happened too, that after all this time he get's taken out by just a runner.

The kid who shot him was the same one who was playing at being Omar in like season 2 or 3.

Oh gooseberry fool. Didn't realise that! I know the scene you mean too.

I think it's just his wife's pet name for him.

Just finished this now. Probably the best show i've ever watched, but without doing a rewatch of The Sopranos and this again, it's a bit unfair to decide.

I don't really know where to start, I feel pretty drained right now, like something's not going to be complete without it.

I wish Prezbo wasn't so awesome and trying to do right for Dook, that ending is what's made me feel so sad I think. Ever since he first came in to the show I took to his character, so to see him end up like that... gooseberry fool.

The game is the game, and it's gonna get you eventually. The whole last episode was great, Marlow taking the corner, Bubs sitting down with his sister for dinner, gooseberry fool. I just wanna watch it again.

For now, 4>2>1>3>5, but I don't even think 5 was a bad series, I thought it was pretty good infact, but the rest of them are just that good.

I might use that clip to convince a few friends of mine to get 'round to watching this. Brilliant stuff. :wub:
