No, that, and all the worthy ones I might have missed, were plenty good, it's just that as far as Stringer vs. Avon clashes were concerned, as it was the lone scene where they actually physically fought*, where Avon challenged Stringer for not being hard enough, and where Stringer confessed to Avon about D's murder, I went with the blow-up in Episode 8. I didn't intentionally disallow any other similar scenes to be considered, but I guess that one was so strong that anything that came after was already towered over.

"Know what I see when I look at you nowdays?
I see a man without a country.
Not hard enough for this right here and maybe,
just maybe, not smart enough for them out there."


*I half expected Avon to take the final shot later, not Omar and Muzone, but I guess he had to keep his hand cleans extra for this assignment.
