As much I hated Ziggy's character, I wouldn't have wished that on him.
I really liked the working man's angle that this season magnified. Sobotka was doing dirt to save his union and the grain pier(whatever the hell that was). Meanwhile his son and nephew were so naive they had no idea the road they were on until it was too late.
Bad Dreams stuck with me for a while, but then again a lot of the Wire eps did.
