"The Wire S5 E9: Late Edition (SPOILERS)"


  

          

DAMN DAMN DAMN. Everything is falling apart for Mcnulty. Snoop is dead. Marlo and crew is locked up. The end of the season is feeling really rushed. I dont know how they are going to wrap all this shit up with 1 episode.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

This is a very good point:
Feb 25th 2008
95
There was no story in the paper on Omar...
Feb 26th 2008
136
yeah, just like when Stringer got killed
Feb 26th 2008
139
Shit, didn't they show Snoop braggin' to the crew how she killed him?
Feb 26th 2008
145
      yeah, Snoop said he was crying like a bitch before they shot him
Feb 26th 2008
148
I guess, but has Kenard even claimed responsibility?
Feb 26th 2008
187

      I'm inclined to agree, I slept on Marlo...
Feb 26th 2008

i'm so sad about what's happening to duq
i kept saying "why can't they just move?!"
i mean i know they're just kids but that nigga had STACKS

how fucking sad.

and yo, kima.
what happened? she used to be so down
initially i thought mcnulty and lestor were crazy but then i guess i got numb to it
her telling is some wack shit
but judging from next weeks preview they all have to hide that shit so we'll see what happens

what is going on with haulk? is it with the cops or against them. maybe he's just protecting his livelyhood but it seems sketch to give up the number and then rat them out over the illegal tap

That was sad as shit, esp when Mike blocked his memories of the good times w/Duq in the car and after Duq turned around, Mike was gone.

All I could think was he's probably going to end up like Bubble's...selling junk to support his "future" habit.


My favorite line:

You like my hair, mayne? It look good, girl...BANG!!

I knew he was going to dismiss Snoop.

i think that's the second time someone called her girl. the first time was when chris said "you aint right girl" when she didn't know about baltimore club music.

i just find it interesting because she carries herself so androgenous.

Kima is a punk for selling out McNulty.

McNulty's bullshit is the reason all that dope was on the table and now he's going to be the one to fall.

Chirs & Snoop taught Mike and now, the student wins

Mike leaving his brother was some sad shit

Looks like Omar was on the right path to getting Marlo, he knew how to get under his skin and from Marlo's reaction to Omar calling him out, if Marlo knew, we woulda seen a showdown or some shit.

Namon! But can we be real.....How many years was it since S4 and S5? This nigga on the debate team now.....BULL

Kima is wack as hell

>Kima is a punk for selling out McNulty.

i disagree wholeheartedly. fucking around with wiretaps and shit is some seriously illegal bullshit. levy would have found out with herc and fucked them up in court.

plus, shit like this has a lot ramifications, if they get caught (and be real, mcnulty told the whole damn world they did that shit), it would be next to impossible to do case work in the bpd. every thing would be quadruple checked for irregularity.

plus, that shit is a slap in the face of all the mofos (mcnulty and lester included) who do that shit for real. you have to collect info legally. you can cry bullshit now, but what do you say the next time a black person gets pulled over for "fitting a description"?

In response to Reply # 8


  

          

the one who snoop smacked in the head. that's who killed Bodie. it looked like Mike, but it wasn't.

in true Wire fashion, Bodie and the kid with the crutch had a brief staredown earlier in the season, where he said "don't be messing with Marlo's money".

but yeah, i thought it was Mike too, but it was the other kid

lol @ snoop smacking o dog in the face. smh.

i always had a feeling that marlo didn't know what omar was saying about him.. nigga is way too egotistical to let that slide.

fuck kima.

mcnulty is done.

scott is a bitch and his skirt will be pulled down. i cannot wait.

mike really is diving head first into the streets. dude separated himself from his own brother and dukie and will become a nomad just like omar.

snoop went out with some dignity at least. that 9 musta blew her little ass head off though.

dukie will become bubbles. i've been saying it for weeks. it's official now.

also, the conversation with lester and clay implied that levy was in on the stringer scam? am i reaching or is that true?

my predictions:

since mcnulty has been found out, the case against stanfield and co. will be dismissed as inadmissible since the evidence was found illegally.

chris will get booked for the murder because that was fair play (aside from the white lie of mcnulty signing off).

the previews for next episode look interesting.. cheese and fat face rick confrontation and i'm assuming rick figured out cheese gave him up and stepped to him. slim is in that scene, too.. hmm... marlo has a suit on outside of a prison cell (bail?) and looks to be swinging on somebody also.. i can't wait.

i can't believe the wire is over in one week (or is it two?).

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Here I thought marlo was scared to come out and face omar this whole time, he didn’t know. Their crew was paranoid thinking mike snitched when bunk was just doing “good old fashioned” police work. There was no source that snitched, this was freamon’s wire and herc’s phone number for marlo

- Tristan wilds conveys concern, frustration and anger incredibly.
I thought he was bugging when he said "who you kidding duke, I know what they do in there.". The last scene hurt, and the preview for the finale with Pryzbylewski stung worse.

- Snoop went out like a soldier, shit was bone chilling. Mike is a lone wolf now, it was sad how his aunt didn’t acknowledge him.

- Namond got fat in the face

- McNulty stuck with the red ribbon/bite marks story when an actual homeless dude turned up dead

- Good to see Bubs looking fully healthy for the first time, I wonder if we’ll ever fully know his relationship with Sherrod

- I'm not really mad that Kima snitched, the character had her convictions and it was a necessity to move the plot forward

- This episode is what season 4 had been building up to, just how much of their innocence had been lost when Mike couldnt remember the happier times, Randy's in the group home, I'm totally crushed at the path Dukie is headed down.

Omar was calling his name in earlier episodes cause he knew Marlo would act foolish and maybe get caught out there.

126. "They think Mike didn't snitch, but that aint how Marlo plays...."
In response to Reply # 12


  

          

With Marlo, if he thinks you did it, you did it, and you gotta get dealt with...they're about 95% sure Mike didn't snitch, but they had to try to murk him on the 5% chance that he might have.

I think Marlo will eventually connect the dots and realize how they got that info tho. He said even Snoop didn't have a phone, and everybody who did have a phone and knew the code is locked up, that's what got everybody confused as shit.


>The last scene hurt, and the
>preview for the finale with Pryzbylewski stung worse.

I agree, that last scene with Mike and Dukie made me feel so sorry for him...cuz in all of this, Dukie is just lost in the shuffle. He aint got no Aunt to go to, no Bunny Colvin to take him in, no more friends left...he can't bang, and he's too scared to go to school, so he's just ass out in the streets to fend for himself.

>- Good to see Bubs looking fully healthy for the first time, I
>wonder if we’ll ever fully know his relationship with Sherrod

Bubs and Sherrod's relationship was that Bubs seen Sherrod as like his son...he was somebody he thought he could show the right way so he aint end up like him...and he ended up dyin in a situation that he felt like was his fault.

>- I'm not really mad that Kima snitched, the character had her
>convictions and it was a necessity to move the plot forward

I'm mad she snitched, but I understand, and I figured somebody would.

>- This episode is what season 4 had been building up to, just
>how much of their innocence had been lost when Mike couldnt
>remember the happier times

Mike could remember...he said "I do" when Duke asked if he remembered...or maybe I heard it wrong, I gotta watch again. But you're right, all their innocence is completely gone now.

127. "yup"
In response to Reply # 126


          

when you got everybody going to jail all at the same time...the first thought has to be somebody snitching. especially when their warrants all have "insider" as the source.

who could really figure out the scheme Lester and McNulty dreamed up? shit is too twisted for even regular police to decipher, and they're the ones working the case.

Chris is being held for a murder that only Snoop and Michael saw. Michael has been pulled downtown recently. I think any crime boss would have killed Michael...neither Marlo or Chris believed he actually did, but:

"you gonna bet your life on that?"

The first thing he grabbed was the phone and the clock to subtly show him that they knew what was up...

In jail, he was already processing everybody who had his number...the only person that's left is Levy. I think he at least questions him about it.

if Micheal's mother didn't inform Bunk about "who HE(mike)be runnin with that be doing all the killing around here (chirs and snoop)" Bunk really wouldn't have much to go on regarding the case with Chris...Mike probably wouldn't have been called downtown to speak on the murder of his stepfather either...its all the crack fiend mamas fault...BUT it was Mike who (in season 4) sorta hinted to his moma that his stepfather "wouldn't be coming back" so if Mike would have played dumb about it and acted like he didn't have anything to do with his stepdad's disapperence then murder Chris may not have been caught.

In response to Reply # 188


          

I'm just saying, from Marlo's point of view, there's really no other explanation for the police knowing besides Michael snitching.

Bunk did some great work, but he also caught a break with Chris' DNA

...so even for a killer who was an top of his shit as Partlow, it only takes one mistake

yo that is right....i believe in episode one of this season Marlo asked Herc in the lawyers office something to the effect of "You ever find that camera?" refering to the one Marlo's crew took out the wall that Herc set up.

he told half the damn police department about it. a reporter who's going down for lying made up half of it. the first murder was found by a cop. the subsequent ones were reported by another cop. half the investigating detectives were alerted to it. mcnulty threw half his manpower to other detectives. he told his girlfriend about it.

his shit was fucked up from day 1.

shit just doesn't add up from his point of view.

the cops stop trailing you for three or four months after a year of steady chasing, now they somehow took your cellphone number from your own damn defense lawyer (he'll prolly figure that one out) and your number one general has a murder charge that only three people know about.

it's all twisted.

I mean...the cops Carver kicked back don't even know what the hell is *really* going on.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Did Kima snitch out of fear ofe ultimately being associated with it? McNulty's mistake was in feeling sorry for her doing all that work for naught. Telling her is what's ultimately probably going to lead to his downfall.

I know they had Snoop and Chris shooting at Bodie during last year's previews...but you didn't know at the time who was going down.

plus, the fact they showed Michael pulling the gun first and saying that "you taught me" line, there was no question Snoop would be the one dead.

I didn't watch the preview for next week...

They gave away way too much in the preview...I still wanted to see how it went down, but knowing one of the two would get killed way in advance kinda sucked.

I do like how they let Snoop go out tho, she went out like a G.

In response to Reply # 0


          

- the dialogue was perfect. it's always good, but nearly ever line was a quotable. Landsman was killing me, and all the poignant scenes were just effortlessly done.

- I dunno how you can really feel sorry for McNulty or Freamon. Yeah, they wanted to do police work, but they broke every rule getting to the end of the case. Bunk did police work. They were just satisfying an obsession with Marlo -- and now have half their unit chasing dogshit.

- also, thanks for the great preview last week HBO. after about 15 minutes you could deduce that Snoop was the one to be killed. the scene was well done though -- I loved the way they sent her out.

He didn't have it to write a story tho, he had it so he could have concrete proof that Scott was lying, cuz he knows Whiting nem won't just take his word for it.

On the flip, the young cat that's following Bubs around is just using a notepad....

*edit* In McNulty's defense, I think he feels like shit that he has half the squad chasing bullshit now too, even he thinks the shit went too far.

the pacing and filming of it were amazing...


ahhhhhhhhhhh though :-/

and the way snoop went down was incredible...

Its crazy that Marlo straight up DIDNT know..

I feel like Michael is what someone like Omar was minus the gay part... like he's on his own now even snoop said u arent one of us... he's a different breed... Randy on the other hand gon end up like chris or snoop or any angry ass gully cat on the show... and Dukie...well I'm 99.9% sure Dukie gon die next episode I can jus feel it but...Dukie is bubbz...

and Namond is Bunny...

I mean the whole premise of season four was to show how people BECAME the adults we've seen throughout..

i never thought of him as the next omar, but he was very omar like the way he turned the table on snoop.

it's fn trynna figure out show these kids are gonna turn out to be as david simon keeps leading us in one direction and then switching up.

i think everyone was saying they're the next marlo and chris, who are the next string and avon.

now it's maybe gonna be omar and bubbles.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

(1) Dukie is in for a downward spiral. It' so dayum sad.

(2) It's been an entire school year I believe since they were in school...cause Omar was gone for awhile. It's possible for Namond to be on the debate team. That's what happens when you have parental support...I used to be a teacher and support from parents can make all the difference.

(3) I'm pissed at Kima for telling Cedric but I believe they are gonna have a copycat serial killer...

(4) Templeton's days at The Sun are numbered. I believe that they are modeling this after Jayson Blair from the NY Times.

(5) Clay "shhheeeeeiiiiiitttttt" Davis said a mouthful. We had to know that there was someone on the inside giving up all those sealed documents...reminiscent of Nino Brown, "This thing is bigger than Nino Brown and If I’m going down I’m taking a whole lot of people with me”

(6) I wonder if we'll see Randy or that dayum GUMP Kenard again. I hope Mike survives to the very end.

(7) I wonder if Bubbles will pass away quietly after being clean for year (more proof that a school year has maybe gone by). The real-life "Bubbles" died awhile back so who knows...

(8) found this for final ep:

Episode #60: " - 30 - "
Debut: SUNDAY, MARCH 9
Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) maps out a damage-control scenario with the police brass in the wake of a startling revelation from Pearlman and Daniels. Their choices: clean up the mess, or hide the dirt. With his leads predictably drying up, McNulty asks Landsman (Delaney Williams) to pull police off the homeless case - until a fresh homicide ramps up the investigation. A frustrated Haynes finds his concerns about Templeton (Tom McCarthy) falling on increasingly deaf ears. Convinced he has the upper hand, but caught in a legal quandary, Levy plays a cat-and-mouse game with Pearlman. Bubbles debates whether to greenlight a newspaper story about his life; Dukie (Jermaine Crawford) seeks out an old mentor for a loan; and Marlo (Jamie Hector) oversees a new co-op order as he maps out his next move. As the officers stage an Irish wake for another dearly departed officer, the seeds of the future are sown throughout Baltimore.

1. As everyone else has been saying, Dukie is going to become Bubbles. Don't forget his parents were junkies too.

2. The co-op is going to take down Marlo. Maybe Michael will take his place.

3. The serial killer scandal will never really be exposed because it will ruin everyone in power. But Kima and Gus are going to be destroyed for trying to expose it.

4. Levy isn't going to go down.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Smart-assing it under his breath while the mayor was pontificating. 'You're so butch.' and then, ''and don't forget the communities.' I was dying.

As for the serious shit, Chris looked like he woulda been happy to start beating on Monk when Monk let it slip that Omar had been calling Marlo a bitch.

Snoop fucked up telling Mike to not bring his gun. You could see the 'what the fuck?' in his head as soon as she emphasized that. Not that I'm surprised, she's right, he's always been smart as hell. And then watching Michael with Snoop...damn. That was a great scene and I agree that I wish I hadn't watched the preview, because seeing Mike raise up that gun and being surprised by it would've made that shit even more powerful.

Seeing the little family of Duke, Mike and Bug breaking up was so fucking sad. Dukie and Bug obviously love each other so much, and Bug depended on him, it's terrible to see what's happened to him as such a youngster. Mike as lone wolf can survive and thrive, but damn it's sad to see him have to go like that.

I understand why Kima feels she has to go to Daniels and not let McNulty off the hook, but it still kinda hurts to see it. I know McNulty's an asshole, I know he did wrong, but the Stanfield bust was everything that the season one dope on the table moment wasn't a truly crippling blow to a major drug organization.

Of course, Herc's big fucking mouth will have Levy trying to figure out whether there was in fact an illegal wire tap, which could easily have Marlo and co. getting out on a technicality and making it all for naught. Anyone gonna be all that surprised if that happens? Just when you're kinda liking Herc's redemption, he goes and fucks it all up. Fucking Herc.

I'd be surprised if Rhonda is the leak, but it did recall season one when she was yelling at Jimmy for going at Levy so hard, talking about how influential he was and Jimmy was pissed at how the prosecutors and defense lawyers are that 'twisted little circle.' That whole exchange at least makes you consider the possibility.

I loved seeing Namond doing so well, and I laughed my ass off when you heard, as the car door was closing, 'damn Mr. C, you know the Mayor too?' Yeah, Namond, he's not gonna go telling you all the wonderful stories about him and Carcetti. A Melvin Williams sighting is always cool. 'Good thing he looks like his stepmother,' well played, Sir.

I was tearing up a little seeing Bubs talk at the meeting, Finally talking about Sherrod and finally moving past that in a way. I think they're gonna let us have a happy end for Bubs. I think Simon's seen the triumph of someone like a Fran Boyd and responded to that so that he'll at least allow for that possibility.

the "real" Omar.

One thing I'd like to comment on, is Dukie was watching Dexter when Mike ordered them to pack to leave immediately. Remember what he said when Mike walked through the door? "Yo, you gotta see this! They got a serial killer, killing SERIAL KILLERS!" That's Dexter. It's a pretty sad day for HBO when one of their shows references the greatness of a show from a rival cable network.

From David Simon himself

http://www.campusprogress.org/features/1273/five-minutes-with-david-simon

Are there other television shows you like?

I respect The Sopranos and Deadwood. I’ve seen episodes and studied the tenor of those two shows, but I haven’t studied them with any degree of precision, because I don’t want those shows in my head. Deadwood discusses society as a whole through this frontier town, so there are some thematic elements that are comparable in some ways to The Wire. So, much as I admire David Milch, I don’t want to have him in my head at all. Same thing with The Sopranos. I think Chase’s ability to define character and to create this inverted family dynamic is just wonderful, and at some point after The Wire’s over, I’m going to be able to sit down and watch that show and really enjoy it as a fan.




he prolly enjoys Dexter as well...sorry haters.

all thing being equal, of course they'd want an hbo shout out, but i dont think dukie would be watching entourage and intreatment wasn't out yet, and what else do hbo really have?

And while she seems to be doing okay, can they really ask her to take in two kids, especially one that's not blood? Plus she probably knows Michael isn't exactly walking the straight and narrow, and she isn't gonna be all trusting of one of his friends.

Absolutely. In his defense though he has no idea the wiretap was illegal. He is just trying to look like the good investigater with all the connections to his boss.

"Of course, Herc's big fucking mouth will have Levy trying to figure out whether there was in fact an illegal wire tap, which could easily have Marlo and co. getting out on a technicality and making it all for naught. Anyone gonna be all that surprised if that happens? Just when you're kinda liking Herc's redemption, he goes and fucks it all up. Fucking Herc."

naw i had trouble sleeping and i was tossing in turning from the scene just prior when Mike had to part ways with his little brother.

my heart also went out to Dook once he turned back to see if Mike was still there(as if Dook had a 2nd thought about entering the stable), but Mike had already pulled off leaving Dook the choice off entering the stable or sleeping out on the street.

47. "My prediction for Marlo"
In response to Reply # 0


          

even if he gets out of jail by some legal technicality he is done. He has no more muscle with Snoop dead, Michael on his own, Chris going to jail on Bunks work, and the dude that Omar killed. Plus he has made so many enemies in the co-op that if two or three of them got together they could easily take out Marlo. Marlo is going down one way or another.

With the supply shipment being confiscated and some of the greek's muscle arrested, the greeks will no longer want to do business with Marlo as a direct connect. Marlo no longer has an edge as far as the co-op is concerned, business-wise or muscle-wise. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

48. "Herc...what a mf'r/Michael/thoughts"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Herc....why would he step up with Marlo's number, only to give up the goods that basically cancels out his good deed...guess its like Marlo says, it's all about your name out there. Herc stays ingood with Both the department AND Levy and no ones the wiser. It would be some shit to see Herc get got once Levy deduces who else could possible have the number they tapped if that ever even ofiicially comes out.

Michael...I'm torn on whether he's going to return to the streets or try and get out the game too. Separating himself from his fam mwas jut a way to keep them safe in case he gets found by Marlo's people. But himsaying that there was "more where that came from" about the box of money imples that he's gonna go back to doing dirt and could possibly end up like Omar.

I don't think it was pearlman who was the leak, they'll probobly chalk it up to just some random face on the take.

For a split second when they found the dead homeless guy I thought "what if Scott is that worried about getting found out that he is killed some homeless guy?" Then I thought "no way". But that would tie back into one of the seasons themes being "your name is all that you have"?

In response to Reply # 48


  

          

Mike has too many qualities that lead me to believe he will one day be a family man. I could see him living a life similar to WeeBay, but definately not Omar. Omar was too much of an outkast. Omar was more of a lone ranger. I see Mike as more of a people person, and one who enjoys the company of others. He might be on his own right now, but I don't think he'll subject himself to a life similar to Omar's.

could work under Levy and the dealers, which is what the leak is doing.

also, I doubt she would've gone ahead with those subpoenas last year if she was in Levy's pocket.

after five seasons...Pearlman doing dirt the whole time for the other side just doesn't add up for me.

But I think they'll do like you said, if they mention it at all it'll prolly be early on.

Just the fact that you know somebody snitched from the inside is good enough...they've kinda stuck with it tho, so i'm thinkin they say who it is.

In response to Reply # 51


  

          

during the scene last season where Randy yelled after Carv in the hospital: "You gon' look out for me?! You promise?!" That had me fcuked up for aWHILE after the show had even gone off. I also cried last night when the boys parted ways. I was trying to hold back, but when I realized where Duke was going *I did not understand @ first, 'til I saw the fire coming out of the trashcan*. I just couldn't help it after that. I was crying again on my way to work. I'm like broken-hearted. I was feeling good when I saw Namond up there, giving a Civil Rights speech, but, that's only 1 out of the four with a happy ending. That's just not good enough for me. I knew they weren't going to turn this into Leave-It-To-Beaver-land in 10 episodes, but got DA8N! They could't give us TWO out of the four boys making it out alive, successfully? SHEESH!

thats the only reson a couple posts back I thought hemay have to go the omar route because like yousaid he'd either have to kill em all or move somewhere else and start from scratch on a corner or somethin'.

He promised the aunt that there was more money coming, so I don't know what's gonna happen.

after being told the whole scheme by McNulty, walking in on Lester & Sidnor's & (forgot what she said) walking out, going with McNulty to the FBI & getting that profile (basically about McNulty), then this ep her after-remarks every time Landsman came at McNulty...on top of that knowing her past with McNulty from past seasons...

In response to Reply # 62


  

          

perhaps, perhaps not....In all seriousness, I just think she's looking out for her future. I don't think she can afford to lose her job. It's something she takes seriously and she always strives to do honest work. I don't think her conscious will allow her to follow through-even if she's not completely at fault.

Really tho...Judging from her behavior in prior seasons, I'm not sure why she is telling on McNulty like this either. Just seems a bit out of character for her. It always seemed like she too had a healthy distrust for the deputies--not to the degree of McNulty and Freemon tho...It's just, she always seemed like one that was willing to bend the rules a bit if it meant catching a drug kingpin.

Even when she got shot she didn't take the "fat finger" and identify one of the shooters. This serial thing is gone waaaay too far. Somebody has to end it.

Yeah. I was like, "nooo!" when I saw her go into the office, but it's ultimately who she is. Good honest police, through and through.

I thought that back in S1 until she took part in whooping Bodie's ass when they couldn't find the stash house and he punched that cop.

She's got dirt on her just like all the cops. Plus her lazy ass was just snarking on McNutty when she COULD have been working her triple. And had the nerve to say, "Waste of time"???

WTF Kima? What are you mad about? Seriously. 22 bodies. Twenty-two bodies. That's not worth it? You can't shut your frickin mouth and swallow it for a couple days?

"Fuck Marlo. Fuck you (McNulty)."

Naw, fuck you Kima.

Bodie punched the cop first (old and useless as he was). That shit wasn't dirty by Kima; everybody knows you're getting your ass kicked if you lay hands no police.

>Plus her lazy
>ass was just snarking on McNutty when she COULD have been

McNulty wasted a *bunch* of her time already...she was taking the homeless killer seriously; tagging along with the FBI profile, getting ready to go through all those old cases to look for similarities

>WTF Kima? What are you mad about? Seriously. 22 bodies.
>Twenty-two bodies. That's not worth it? You can't shut your

I think McNulty almost wants the truth to come out at this point. He's miserable and ends up telling more and more people about his "operation".

after Bodie punched the old cop flat on his back - his buddy comes up and instead of helping him up, puts a lit cigarette in his mouth...

the cops used to wail on them boys back when they rushed the Pit.

she was the one who landsman kept assigning to mcnulty before they got all the overtime
and she was goin on interviews and wasting time
after getting pulled off that triple when she grabbed the kid outta the closet herself
that coupled with the fact that she was getting tighter with her own kid
probably made her that much more angry when she found out it was all bullshit
i don't think it was so much she was trying to be good police
as much as she just had a stronger reaction to finding out than anybody else

damn I know she was having trouble with it but I didnt exxpect her to rat McNulty out. This was a great episode, the Mike.Dukie/Bug scene was real tragic too. Now that Mike has essentially alienated himself from everyone he knows I wonder what he'll do?

In response to Reply # 69
Mon Feb-25-08 04:41 PM by sithlord

  

          

Here y'all go again. Just like with the whole "Randy, stop snitching!" From last season.

Kima's the one person that wanted to straight up do her job. She's an honest cop who is also very good at what she does. This season is all about people breaking codes, be it their personal codes or professional codes. McNulty has always felt the need to prove he was smarter than everyone else and up until this year, he's worked within the system to do it. He pissed people off, but it was never anything he could get fired over. Now, not only could he get fired, but he could go to jail and Marlo and everyone else will be right back out on the street.

Like Bunk said in the first season, McNulty's no good for people and his actions took people away from real police work and could get everyone involved with him fired. Kima felt stronger about putting a stop to it than she did about letting Marlo go to jail, but she agonized over it, which is why she asked Carver about when he gave up crazy dude for beating up that teacher.

I mean, at what point do you give up and become part of the bullshit? She wasn't ready to become part of it, so she took it upstairs. Yeah, McNulty is her friend and colleague, but he stirred up a shit-storm with this one and had to be stopped. Doing the right thing is never seen for what it is if other people don't agree with it, but that's true to her character, just like Bunk was willing to pal around with McNulty, get drunk and fuck random bar skanks, but that's not illegal.

The thing that fucked with McNulty is that he was the cause of Marlo's downfall, but he doesn't get to be told how smart he is. As a matter of fact, he gets told how worthless he is because he can't crack the serial killer thing.

Now, on to the episode:

The second to last episodes of the seasons have always been the best ones for a ton of reasons, but this one really, really shows how these kids are going to become the next generations of who runs Baltimore. I think Mike's gonna be the new Omar because he's pretty much alienated from the streets and he has a reason to go hard at Marlo for as long as Marlo's around.

Duquon's the new Bubs and that's the most heartbreaking story of the show, if you ask me.

Snoop went out like Snoop. She knew the jig was up and accepted her fate. But it also showed that Chris was the brains of the operation. I think her tension with Michael was that she could see him replacing her in the eyes of Chris and Marlo.

LOL at Spider saying Omar got done by some "niggas outta Pimlico wit AK-47s" and not Kenard.

Levy could get Marlo off if he figures out the wiretaps. Ronnie as the leak would be too obvious, but she was trying to curry favor with Levy back in Season 1, so it could happen.

Scott's got the ear of the brass at the paper, so that could be his saving grace next week. They had me dying with all the pulitzer talk, especially, Mr. "I'm on the committee, so I know how this all works".

Two hours for the season finale could be enough. Anybody know for sure if the finale is gonna be up On Demand Monday. I seem to remember them not doing that last year.

In response to Reply # 76


  

          

Before McNulty's shit, all the police were complaining about not being able to do police work, Kima included. The department was getting no respect, no money and moral was shit, plus Carcetti still wanted results.

Now because of McNulty's shit, police are policing again, moral is way up, Carcetti got a hell of a show and ALL THE CREDIT and Marlo's murderous ass is behind bars.

And yeah some of the police are chasing down bullshit, but if that's the price you have to pay to get someone responsible for 20+ known murders, then fuck it. They weren't doing shit anyway right?

Plus McNulty was letting others share the wealth and get their cases solved, more policing.

I highly doubt Marlo and them will get off....I mean, you think Carcetti is going to let that happen while he's this close to being Governor.

because he apparently isn't.

he knows this wasn't about saving the Baltimore police department. it was about him and Freamon not getting beat by Marlo. because neither of their egos could take it.

now that what he's wrought is in front of him, even he is disgusted...

I'm glad I found this online because my slingbox has been broke for a HOT minute.

Anyway, I feel like a lot happened but it didn't.

To someone up there in this post, the idea of Pearlman as Levy's connection, WOW. I just wish you hadn't said it, because it's probably gonna be the truth!

And on the topic of predictability, I mean damn. Y'all we're talking about Omar being dead and shit before the ep was up OnDemand, but I was hoping I'd at least be surprised when it happened. *Shrug*

And I KNEW Mike was gonna do Snoop. But at least that shit was memorable. Our first and last (save S3) real acknowledgement that Snoop really is female.

Was Meth bumping Ghost in the whip? LMAO if so.

Oh, and on the topic of tragedy, looks like McNulty is going down (unless it gets overshadowed by this possible Pearlman business, which I doubt happens). What will Bunk do in the midst of this?

Everybody wants to blame the snitch, but not the actual offender. I don't hear anyone saying *Fuck Gus*. He's snitching all over Scott and everybody's like *YAAAAAAY*!!!!!!

Point blank...Scott and McNulty are the same person. They both lied to further their careers. The department benefit was secondary. Kima should be pissed. She could've worked her triple homicide instead of going down to Quantico or going through files and files of paperwork. Or listening to families cry about their dead homeless child who was sexually molested by some pervert. What is she supposed to say? At least I got paid overtime?

Hell, Scott is smarter than McNulty. At least he didn't tell 50 people in his department that he made it up. If you don't want anybody to snitch, then shut the fuck up! Hell, maybe he wanted somebody to stop him.

In response to Reply # 84


  

          

It should have been pretty obvious why he did this when he said, "They don't get to win, we get to win"

And in this case the "they" is not only Marlo, but the bureaucratic bullshit that his department's been bogged down in for as long as we can recall

I think McNulty would rather kill himself than end up in a position of "power" like Daniels, so that's partly why I say that he's not trying to advance his career by pulling this shit

IMO, what he did was a selfish, extreme and reckless reaction to the futility of the Baltimore political and judicial system: "Okay, you guys aren't going to give us the resources to put these fuckers away? Well, I'ma do something about it, my colleagues be damned..."

Maybe "further their careers" were the wrong words...more like gain recognition. It's the selfishness of their acts that ring true for both men. I don't think McNulty wanted to catch Marlo because he was a bad guy. I think he was more pissed that all the work he did for X amount of years was wasted because nothing became of it. It was McNulty first, everybody else second.

It wasn't about getting recognition, he just wanted to win. He gave up being happy on patrol to go back to homicide and take down Marlo, and that was taken away from him. He wanted to win.

The way I see it, The only way he wins is to get recognition for getting Marlo. That way, he gives the finger to Landsman and everyone else who hates him and says I told you so. This started out with him and Bunk only knowing the details. Bunk brought Lester into the mix to talk McNulty out of it. Lester just took over the whole Marlo operation while McNulty got stuck working the bullshit he was trying to avoid in the first place.

only thing I'd add is that McNulty didn't lie to further his career, he did it to feed his own ego. but him and Scott were both in it for personal gain -- not for the police department, not for the newspaper.

Kima's conversation with Carver was telling. Carver didn't want to tell on Colicchio (sp), but "my hand was forced. he was off the bend, out of control".

so is McNulty. what happens when the next king of Baltimore shows up? because there always will be a successor. is McNulty going to create some more extravagant, illegal bullshit if he doesn't get his own special investigations unit?

he's lost it. and it's time for everything to end for him.

Unforgiven, the Clint Eastwood western from 15 years ago

This right here was a classic episode, as well as a classic set-up episode, with the payoff obviously coming in the finale

Also, fuck all this 'shit on McNulty' shit; yeah, whatever, the dude was renegade police, but again, what other choice did he have in trying to get these guys? Was he supposed to wait? Again? Do things "the right way?" FOH, he, and Freamon, and the rest of the unit waited once before, tried to do the right thing before, and we all saw how that shit turned out (hint: think back to Bodie's fate)

So, again, fuck that, as morally and ethically compromised as he may be, I'ma ride with the motherfucker until he's dead or in jail behind this shit. Why? Because desperate times called for desperate measures, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and all that other shit

Also, I'm really not mad at Kima either

Great scenes with Dukie and Michael, Colvin and Da Mayor, Freamon and Davis (and thankfully they didn't have him run "Sheeeeeeeiiiiit" into the fucking ground again), Gus and the vet, the press conference scene with Zorzi, Daniels, and Alma, Bubbles at the meeting, just fantastic all around

And I didn't mind the reveal of who Michael shot in last week's previews; at this point, gang, does it really matter? I mean, if we're going to get mad, let's also get upset at seeing the shot of Marlo inside that jail cell (with the white wall behind him), which in part led me to say last week that this episode was going to feel like the last episode of Good Times with all the unbelievably good stuff happening... and I wasn't that far off... but now I'm afraid the good times are over...

I don't know if I'm going to be able to wait 2 weeks, dammit...

McNulty is not doing this to further his career, as you said before. Is it fucked up what he is doing, yes? Is it more fucked up than what Carcetti, Clay Davis, Narese (Sp?) and any other politician is or has done, probably not. The only difference is at least McNulty got some results, they got Marlo and that other young detective was able to solve his case because McNulty gave him some resources that he needed.

I am not mad at Kima for doing what she did, just surprised that she would be the one to rat out McNulty like that. I know she has ethics but I thought he loyalty to McNulty and Lester plus the fact that they got Marlo, who is responsible for her triple homicide would be enough to keep her mad but silent. She has seen all the bullshit and budget cuts the department has had to take and how it has allowed Marlo and his people to take over Baltimore.

What else did people expect/want from him? I love how everyone forgets that the ball to this started with Carcetti's selfish decision to leave the money on the table at the end of season 4.

Shit got done, and despite the personal cost, I'm not mad at all.


>Also, I'm really not mad at Kima either

THIS on the hand...still torn on this.

I mean...a lot of people could have figured he was full of shit. like that one detective who shook him down.

when he and Lester organized this, they knew what would happen if they ever got caught.

but I do think Carcetti came off the worst, like you said.

bitch-ass talking about "we'll fix it from Annapolis". lol, how he never gave up on the 20 murders -- after pulling the plug on that investigation himself. parading in front of the cameras talking about smart third graders, while the middle school kids Bunny Colvin's program was designed to help got the cord pulled too.

shit was disgusting...

90. "Amazing episode"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I don't even know where to start.

The mighty Stanfield juggernaut is done. Marlo won't admit it to himself until he's locked up with Avon, but their day in the sun has passed. Don't know what's up with the co-op guys, but the dope's not going anywhere.

The breakup of Mike/Bug/Duke's family thing was heart wrenching. Even moreso than watching randy at the end of last season. I shouted out loud at the end (to no one) "Dukie's gotta live with dope fiends AGAIN?" This poor kid's life is just one defeat after another.

Good for Bubbl . . . I mean, Reginald.

Not feeling sorry for McNulty. Even he knew he took this too far. The way he was disgusted at himself driving the homeless guy to Richmond. The look on his face while the FBI guy read the serial killer's description. The way he confessed to Beadie. The fact that he couldn't even get drunk with Lester to celebrate. It worked, but he deserves everything that happens to him and he knows it.

As for Kima, why would you expect anything different from her?

Somehow Scott's going to get out of this. Did you see the way Whiting practically creamed himself when Scott said "the Dickensian aspect?"

Madame council president is hot as balls © Herc. Just a reminder.

Lester and Clay is another classic Wire moment. My guess for the snitch: Eileen Nathan (because she's the only other prosecuter I know besides Pearlman and I really don't think Pearlman would rat to Obonda on herself.)

So the people on the corner still don't know who did Omar? Where's Kenard? You'd think he'd be bragging all over town about it, even if he was scared shitless when he fired.

Did anyone recognize Polk (or Mahone) sans moustache working the evidence locker? Who *hasn't* made an appearance this season?

I can't wait 13 days.

a lot of people on the street assumed Marlo's people did it...they were the only two gangs openly going to war.

it's not like Omar or Brother Mouzone would crow about it -- and even if Kenard did tell people he did it, most would prolly not even believe him

His name isn't going to ring out like it used to.

His main muscle is dead or in jail. The Greeks won't have anything to do with him. The rest of the Co-Op is gonna be pissed because they think this might lead to them getting locked up. Omar has fucked his name off in the streets. So he's got no muscle, dope, or rep to hold his corners.

It's funny that he ended up where Daniels was when he was in purgatory, @ the beginning of S2. I like how Burns and Simon are letting us have one last look @ everyone, as a good-bye. I appreciate it, even though I am still hurt by Omar's demise, and Duke ending up on the streets with the drug addicts.

112. "Man, there's so much to process..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

First off, this is the first time that I nearly cried from a fucking tv show. I was THIS CLOSE to squirting a few when Bubs did his speech*. What was weird about it, was that I KNEW he would start talking about Sherrod, but it still got to me anyways. Seeing Bub's redemption was very thrilling, but on teh other hand....

Seeing Dukie walk toward his fate was just......man I'm getting fucking angry at Simon and nem right now just thinking about it. This was a walk that paralleled so many other walks of sealed fates in penultimate episodes: Frank Sobotka's walk in season 2, Carver walking out of that Kubrick-esque hospital at the end of season 4. You KNOW what Dukie will become, and honestly, the shit is mutherfucking cruel. In the previous episode, you show the kid doggedly trying to find his place in that world, not giving up, and in the next, you show him ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING BUBS VER. 2.5???!! Fuck you David Simon, seriously.

You know, when I initially saw Namond's newly fat-faced ass debating, I threw up a fist pump. But then, I started getting angry again: I mean, yes, it's great that a kid got out, but why HIM??!! The one with the LEAST amount of problems does something good with himself. My head's starting to hurt. Moving on...

Yes, I think Mike is going to become the new Omar. He isn't beholden to any institution right now, he's far too smart to work for anyone, and like Snoop said, he was never like them, one of them. And yes, that scene between him, Bug, and Dukie was just...I really can't say enough about the acting that Jermaine Crawford and Tristan Wilds have done these past two seasons. Look at what those two have been able to do with such minimal talking in those scenes.

I really wasn't that sad or anything to see Snoop go. This was the same little heiffer that lied on Stringer Bell's name at the end of season 3. BUT, her, Chris, and Monk deciding NOT to tell Marlo about Omar prolly saved dude's life, because it appears that Omar knew a LOT more about Marlo's psyche than we were led to believe. Snoop's final scene just served to remind me that NO ONE can write a death scene quite like George Pelecanos* NO ONE.

McNulty is done. The guy did nothing but sulk and feel sorry for himself the whole episode. The walls are closing in on him, and I'll be glued to the edge of my gotdamn couch seeing how his end will come.

Nice callback to Shardene, I know a few people were wondering what happened to her big-headed, big-lipped ass.

I cannot really say that I'm surprised that Kima told. Above all, she's ALWAYS been the "good police" with a professionally clean ethics streak. Ya'll remember in the first season when Bunk wanted her to point out Wee-Bay and Little Man as her shooters? What did Ol' girl say. "Somethings just gotta play hard." Yup, that's Kima. But half of me still says fuck her though.

Speaking of Kima, it's amazing how this episode showed both paralells of their mentors being taken down by the students (her taking down McNulty, and Mike taking down Snoop).

People really wanna slap Templeton, but I REALLY wanna slap that little pissy Mayoral aide. If it wasn't for your "kids can't vote" shit from last season, maybe we wouldn't be in this shit, muhfucka!!!

Marlo? That nigga done, whichever way you look at it. He's either dead, in jail, or in the streets with no adequate muscle. And we ALL saw what happened to Avon with none of that! Oh yeah, that scene in the jail WAS brilliant. I LOVED how through most of the episode he was a step behind, looking like Avon through most of season 1 with both the cops AND Omar after that ass. He's no super dealer-nigga; he just came along at the right time, and benefitted from Avon's mistakes.

Clay Davis has been excellent this season. Let's find more work for Isiah Whitlock Jr. after this!

Herc you simple fuck (c) Bunk. Always looking for a pat on your shoulder. You just might've outdone any of the good.

Man, this is probably the single best episode The Wire has produced, and that's saying ALOT. I am satisfied, wrecked, tired. I need some sleep.

>He's no super dealer-nigga; he just came along

The Barksdales were done after season one. They had no muscle and no drug connect. Why was Marlo the next king and not somebody else? Because he took that shit from Avon, out-smarting him in many ways.

Plus, as we've seen in later seasons, Stanfield had a much cleaner operation going on. Avon could have never been able to take out Prop Joe *and* get his drug connect. Stringer kept trying to turn the whole deal into a business -- that'd never work either.

Marlo was smarter than Avon, but harder than Stringer. A perfect combination. He got caught because everybody gets caught eventually.

He was able to do alot of shit I didn't expect, and if he had stayed off the phones, they woulda never caught him...they was runnin a near perfect operation.

But near perfect aint good enough.

As soon as he believed the cops weren't watching him anymore, he IMMEDIATELY went back to his stupid habits that would land him in jail: killing a whole shit-load of people and moving dope all over the damn place in the open. If he had stayed as careful as he had when he saw the cops on his ass, they never would have locked him and his crew up. He got real sloppy, real quick and he got caught.

there was no need to bring Omar back, or ring off a triple homicide for being called a dick-sucker.

but then again, I guess that ego makes drug kingpins drug kingpins. his arrogance three years ago was what forced him challenge Barksdale.

overall, Marlo wasn't as dumb as Avon fans play him for. Marlo has shown as much or more criminal intellect than the Barksdale clan in many situations.

Bringing Omar back was a supreme dummy move. And even with Omar dead, the move hurt Marlo more than anything. He lost some muscle and his rep was damaged for not taking it to the streets with him. He doesn't even get the credit for killing Omar in the end.

Marlo's obessession with his own image lead to his downfall. He's just as concerned with "winning" as McNulty or Freamon.

>but then again, I guess that ego makes drug kingpins drug
>kingpins. his arrogance three years ago was what forced him
>challenge Barksdale.

Well, if this show demonstrates anything, is that there's no surefire way to be a drug kingpin. Barksdale's way didn't work. Bell's way didn't work. Marlo's way didn't work. I guess you could say the way Prop Joe ran things was the most successful (he held down the entire east side for most of the five seasons), but he efforts to civilize Marlo ended up killing him.

>overall, Marlo wasn't as dumb as Avon fans play him for. Marlo
>has shown as much or more criminal intellect than the
>Barksdale clan in many situations.

But think about it, if it wasn't for Bell giving that tip to Colvin in Season #3, Barksdale would have ended up getting Marlo anyway.

You watch the American Gangster series, or read Don Diva or FEDS, the only constant in the drug game is that all the roads lead to the same place...cats get caught or they get killed.

As smart as Melvin Williams was in real life, he still got caught repeatedly...Rayful Edmonds, Big Meech, Freeway Rick Ross, etc., all these cats fell, no matter how they went about the game.

In response to Reply # 154


  

          

that the graveyard is full of men who have worn the crown. Marlo said he knew that but that it was *his* turn now. That's why I can't even really be that mad at him. His expectations about his ultimate fate were in line with reality.

156. "and if Omar's bullet is four inches to the left"
In response to Reply # 153


          

Avon is dead on the streets in Season 1.

Shit, Marlo set up Omar PERFECTLY in Season 4 -- that's some shit Avon or Stringer could never figure out. The *only* reason Omar didn't die in prison was because Bunk and Nathan owed him a favor from two years back.

Marlo had Omar dead in Season 5 too...of course, he just flew away that time.

113. "Does anyone think that Colvin's scene withe mayor may effect..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          


what the mayor does to McNulty? Although it was good to see Colvin and especially Namond what was the point of the scene? Especially since the mayor didn't have to make an appearance at the debate. I wonder if when the mayor sees someone step out of the box like Colvin to solve a problem if he'll do more to help.

For those that wonder why Kima ratted on McNulty remember she was the one that had to interview the parents of the homeless and you could tell it effected her. Then to find out it all was bullshit? She wasn't having that and she even said so when McNulty told her!

I don't know but I get a feeling that this won't end well for Michael, also I have a feeling that the case will blowout in Freamon's face thanks to dumbass Herc. And it will be the Co-op that dishes out the justice to Marlo.

You can not learn anything unless you open your mind to something

I was mad at that Omar shit b/c I thought they'd use him to kill Marlo...but even then, the writers deserved the benefit of the doubt.

and I don't think the whole Marlo empire will collapse either. Pieces may fall (they already have), but he comes out of it somehow.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

gave the ok on Prop Joe, and now another shipment down the toilet. This is exactly what Marlo said wasn't going to happen if they went with him.

also, I'm not sure I see Duqee being the new Bubbles. I mean I see Duq going around picking up metal scraps for cash the same way Bubbles and Johnny used to. And I know his family was on that stuff, but Duq is smarter than that ain't he? If it wasn't for that post with the episode 10 synopsis which says Duquan asks Prez for a loan, I might say y'all are way off base. But it WOULD be a tragedy for Duquan to go down that road, especially since it looked like he might make it doing anything else. I guess we'll see.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

A million to one? A billion to one?

This will easily be one of my favorite wire episodes when it's all said and done. To me, this episode made most of the iffiness of the last 6 or 7 bareable. It was a helluva pay-off episode in a lot of respects.

The Bubs monologue, Snoop getting shot, Dukie/Chris/Bugs, Gus going down to Walter Reed, the Freamon-Davis Peace Accord, etc. Just a great, great, great episode.

In response to Reply # 124


          

it's obvious they don't watch the show, or else it would have won a bunch by now.

this episode, even being as magnificent as it is, prolly wouldn't change their minds. the mastery lies in the fact it built moments up over two seasons...if that was your first Wire episode, many of the effects are lost

In response to Reply # 0


          

The preview from the last episode really didn't ruin that scene between Mike and Snoop. Yeah, some of the surprise was lost but it made me really appreciate the setup to that scene.

- Mike's face when Snoop said he didn't need his own gun
- Mike staking out Snoop ahead of time
- How Mike questioned Marlo once again but Snoop didn't buck back like that last time .... she just said "It's just his time to go..."

Then you had the great dialogue between Mike and Snoop.

When Snoop said "You never were one of us", I actually thought that was a complement to Mike, even if it wasn't meant to be. He's not a soldier... his potential is greater than that (though it won't be reached).

The writers (or whoever chooses the previews) basically called their shot and knocked it out of the park.

Anyway, I see Marlo flaming out quickly without Chris. Chris is that operational dude that makes sure the i's get dotted and the t's get crossed... Marlo wouldn't be where he was if Chris wasn't executing (literally and figuratively) and he won't last long without him.

It was already a great scene and not having a preview on it woulda made folks appreciate it more.

I agree with you about Marlo and Chris. Chris did a rack of dirty work for Marlo and did a rack of his thinking for him as well. Marlo ain't stupid, by no means, but I don't think Marlo has enough tact to hang by himself, especially since he don't have no muscle now.

In response to Reply # 141


          

but the preview took out some of the tension. you basically knew beforehand that Mike was gonna get the drop on Snoop...even if the actual scenes strongly hinted towards it, seeing him pull out his gun first was unneeded confirmation

The Doc will be shocked if it goes any other way -- particularly how ZooTown predicted that there'd be a lot of good and loose-ends tied up. Some of that seemed like it was happening w/this episode.

Setting up for a disappointment.

He's a Sun reporter who was stationed in their London bureau who os home now (remember earlier in the season they announced they were closing all of their foreign bureaus.) Since he's been in Europe for a couple years, Scott doesn't know him, so that's why Gus wants him to check up on him (also, because he's a vet who Gus knows and trusts.)

he's not much of a family man....so it would surprise me a bit to leave his kids behind, but I think he may be comfortable that they are being taken care of. They could set it up if they show McNulty somehow acknowleding that his ex has a ok man in her life or something.

The scenes with Bubs & Mike, Bug & Duq had me fightin' back tears.

Fuck Kima.
Fuck Herc.
Fuck Carcetti's snivelling lackey.

Snoop went out like a G.

Just like we haven't seen Albert or Donnell or Zenobia again. They were part of the school system story and they aren't a part of this one. At most, we'd see Donut driving down the street in a totally incidental way, but he has no part to play in moving the story forward anymore.

"Yeah", that would have made it that much harder for him to cut Dook loose, which he knew he HAD to do...Plus Dookie threw that out there as a last resort, knowing that it was most likely time they had to go seperate ways..

If anybody here ever hard to part ways, with a close friend, family member, girlfriend...ect...You almost HAVE to turn cold or that separation will be to much to bare, and on the other end that person who is getting cut loose always go for the emotion/nostalgia/memories to try to tug at you to get you to stay..

I thought the same thing as well. He sat there and remembered it but he knew he had no time to be thinking about that. He'd fuck around and keep Dookie around and get him killed cause he's hot. He's family to him.

I'm still sad as hell that Dookie is going that route though. that shit is so heart breaking.

and ^^^^^^^^^^ this coupled with Bubbles' speech about wanting to pursue old good feelings has me thinking that Duquan's fate is that of a junkie.

He was so desperate for Michael to feel what he feels, he soon may be desperate to find happiness and nostalgia in the needle.

I hope I'm wrong though...

226. "i think its equally powerful if he really didn't remember"
In response to Reply # 211


  

          

either way you read the scene it's heavy
but if he really didn't remember
that just amplifies how far apart he and dukie really were this past year
and how mike's life of killing and the constant maintaining on the corner
weighed on him so heavy
and forced him to grow up so fast that he doesn't even remember shit from just a year ago
that's what makes this show (particularly this episode) so good
is that there's so many different ways you can read it
but it still hits hard either way

In response to Reply # 226


  

          

that wasn't just some everyday kids playing around stuff...that's the kinda thing you remember for the rest of your life.

also, if you look on mike's face, he shows that he remembered it. he had a look of recognition, then a look of pain, and then a cold, hard look as he repressed the memory.

you and most of the people in this reply think he remembered
i'm sayin he really might not have remembered
its too nuanced to really argue over
i'm just pointing out that the greatness of the scene lies in the fact that either interpretation of it is powerful

GO TO BREAK!

He definitely remembered. He was trying to keep himself together. I especially thought this because he didn't hug Bug and Bug's future was the whole reason Mike got into the game in the first place. Mike not hugging Bug hurt me worse than the exchange between him and Duq.

You can also tell this by Mike's expression and the way he turns his head when Duq and Bug hug each other goodbye in the car.

Not only was it supposed to show that kids grow up too fast in that environment, but for Mike to remember that slice of innocence at that point & time would've been too much to bare.

Also, didn't Duq say that he got jacked up by the other kids even though he hadn't hit any of them with a balloon?

If he did, that reminded me of his currently situation with all this shit happening that he's got nothing to do with and he ends up out on the street.

when Kima thought her triple mat be related to Bunk's homicides in the vacants, she pressed him to go outside the rules because that's what McNulty would have done?

Bunk - "I am not him"
Kima - "Well, what would the Bunk do? Take no for an answer?"

and why I'm so surprised by Kima's actions. She used to ride hard for McNulty. The only explanation is that her character has changed. Perhaps it's her newfound connection with her ex's boy. I can't call it.

232. "Kima"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I think that the interviews Kima did with the serial killer's victims families are a significant source of fuel for why she feels this is wrong. She personally has a greater understanding on how this farce negatively effects everyone despite the fact that it may have been used to bring in Marlo. Those families have to live with the belief that turning their backs on their addicted relatives exposed them to such a gruesome outcome. Also she sees how this could be negatively effecting other cases since the department's resources are being wasted on this nonsense.

Showing how the effects of how what they do ripples out and matters. It's not just about carcetti's career ambitions, lester and mcnulty getting marlo or cops getting OT and cases solved. Real people are affected by their decisions good or bad.

can somebody give me one good reason why should have done
what she did?

if it wasn't for McNulty Marlo would still be on the street.
that dope would be on the street.

and all of this shit would have just wound down in a few
weeks. she could have just rode it out and acted like
everything was all good.

it's just her character and personality. She want to do things by the book.

242. "Because she does not believe the ends justify the means"
In response to Reply # 237


  

          

She wouldn't do the fat finger on Wee Bey in season one. This was the guy who shot her and she knew it, but because she didn't have a clear view, she wouldn't ID him.

McNulty fucked up. Yes it led to them getting Omar. But it also led to Kima taking time away from her triple to help on non-existent murders. It led to good police being pulled off cases to go investigate any random homeless death. She had to look the families of dead homeless in the face while they imagined their loved ones getting tortured and molested by some sick fuck only to find out it was all an elaborate hoax perpetrated by an egotistical prick.

And she's good po-lease.

241. "When Michael was saying goodbye to Bug"
In response to Reply # 0


          

that was a really sad moment but what I found even more sad was he couldn't even say I love you or give him a real hug or any type of embrace to say bye. He didn't show any real emotion. You can chalk that up to the streets but I feel most of that is due to the sexual abuse.

On to next week, I think McNulty is in trouble but if he doesn't kill himself, which is a big if, than I think he will make it out okay. He will be fired or busted way down but I think the Mayor wants this to go away as quietly as possible.

This is where the dirt on Daniels is going to come to play. I could see Daniels pushing hard to let it all out but them showing him his file to buy his silence. They kind of show his file on the desk in the previews and it hasn't been brought up for a while but it is still there because Nareese took that shit.

I also think Lester finds the leak in the court room.

One thing I really don't get about the Omar/Marlo thing and Marlo being mad about Omar calling him out and not knowing. How didn't Marlo know Omar was calling him out? He was telling everyone on the streets, he did everything but put a billboard up or fly a plane with a banner reading "Marlo is a bitch" and after all the people Omar told it never got back to Marlo but the minute Omar is killed he knows? Marlo clearly found out Omar died from word on the streets so if that could reach him why couldn't what Omar was saying about him reach him?

Remember, Marlo didn't really to talk to anyone outside of Chris, Snoop, Monk and later Cheese. If you wanted to talk to Marlo, you had to go through them. We saw what happened when Mike wanted to tell Marlo; Chris and Snoop told him to forget about it because they didn't want him to get emotional and do something reckless. I'm guessing everyone in the Stanfield organization Omar got to tried the same thing and got the same reaction.

247. "I get they had him isolated"
In response to Reply # 245


          

but how did Marlo find out Omar was killed before Chris or Snoop? Obviously someone was talking to him and he had his ears to the streets to find out Omar was dead but couldn't find out what Omar was saying about him? I mean Omar was telling anyone and everyone that would listen to him that Marlo was a bitch for at least a few weeks before he got killed.

It just seems odd that Marlo would find out that Omar was dead before Chris and Snoop but didn't hear that Omar was calling him a bitch. I mean he heard about Junebug calling him a bitch.

if mcnulty falls EVERYONE falls. a cop faking homeless serial murders will be NATIONAL news. carcetti will never be govenor or see a 2nd term as mayor at that. his political career will be dead. daniels will fall.

this show has always shown that the game is played on all levels. carcetti will bury the fake murders. mcnulty will probably be forced to resign at worst.

as for mike...remember when we saw him pick bug up from school and help him w/homework? well, dukie basically took that brotherly role completely. the way bug cried and hugged dukie showed how far gone mike is. all because he refused to take marlo's blood money. funny thing is, mike thought that by taking the money he'd owe marlo something. it was "the other way" (c)marlo.

i hope mike survives the finale.

Why didn't Mike give Dukie some money? His aunt is in the suburbs and living well.

Why didn't Dukie just go back to their crib?

that apartment was paid for by marlo, you know they'll have it staked out.

i don't know why mike didn't give dukie some cash though. he could have given him a few hundred to get out of town somewhere.

I mean at least let him stay at the pad for a night or give him some money for a few nights at a motel until he can figure out what to do.

Shit Mike didn't really give him much time to think about his next move or where he could go. Then when he questioned Dukie "why here?" I was thinking where else does he have to go?

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

crime situation just got a whole lot better and people have restored faith in the police. if daniels comes with all this, Carcetti looks like a bumbling mayor again.

mcnulty will not go down for this imo.


What an episode. one of the best in the series. The Reginald speech was eye-swellage at its best. and Snoop proves one last time why she is officially the hardest, most dead-inside gangsta ever on tv. and michael keeping it as classy as possible with her. there was this equal respect for eachother and what had to be done. her saying michael was never one of them was her way of saying "you've done good here" imo.

Dukie, what a damn shame. i feel like he's gonna contact Prezbo in the finale. i like the set-up for him becoming the second coming of bubbles, but i feel like that's all it is. Dukie is smarter than bubbles. He knows when to ask for help. he just hasnt realized who to ask yet.

Kima did some shit here. did she do the right thing? yes. does the right thing hurt? yes. she's been maturing this whole season. carver saying that the right thing hurts, but it keeps your conscience clean sealed it for her. funny that both carver and kima have both benefited from people doing the wrong thing in the past. im not mad at her. i just want everyone to be happy. obviously, in the real world or its Wire equivelant, no one can be happy all the time.


anyone hoping kenard gets got? lol.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Marlo has no muscle anymore and his direct pipeline is done. Also I seriously doubt the greek lets that shit slide. Too much attention too much product lost. Prop joe is gone, how the hell do these guys get product?

I understand why Kima did what she did but that shit is still hard. Also when Lester went to Daniels and he asked him "if there was anythign else he should know" I felt then Daniels knew "how they did it" was off.

If Ronny isn't the leak what about the judge that signed off on all Ronnie's requests?

On a completely different note, my org does work with Prop Joe's nonprofit in Baltimore and its always crazy to be sitting in meetings with him.

Remember, these are the guys who left a shipping container full of dope on the docks at the end of Season 2 just cuz they felt like it was hot...and they didn't do shit to Joe when he got jacked for the whole shipment last season, they prolly won't do shit to Marlo either.

My guess is they'll just KIM like always, they can always find another dealer.

If anything Marlo might try to go at them, because they were the ones who got him back on the phone, which got him caught.

all the other chargers on Marlo & crew stem from "an insider source".

if Levy could somehow prove they used a wiretap on Marlo's phone, the prosecutors cannot charge the Stanfield gang since the police used an illegal wire.

right now, the papers say the source gave them the time, date and location of the drug bust and mentioned how Marlo uses picture codes in his phones.

none of that would be permissible in court if McNulty's handiwork leaked, because Lester never got a court order to tap Marlo's phone.

If Levy find out har far the homeless thing went, then he would find out that Chris' blood evidence was gained under the pretense that it belonged top the homeless case.

Bunk told the lab guy it (and the paperwork said it too) that it was part of the homeless case. The lab guy called bullshit after seeing the evidence and told bunk he did it anyway because their office botched the vacant case.

~Chris knows its a wrap no matter what, so I think he might reach out to Mike, he seemed pretty sympathetic and saw himself in Mike

~As much as Michael has been the doting older brother, he didn't even hug little brother. He was able to hold back the tears mostly, but you got to be a bad mutha-shutyomouth to not give love at a time like that.

~And did Mike not remember what Dukie was talking about cause he had blocked it out long before?....... or did he not remember to let Dukie know that them days is over?

~And who noticed Gus in a disguise at Bubbs' meeting?
I must have looked 5 times, I think that was him trying to pick up on another detail to nail the lying reporter. The reporter had visited the mission house Bubbs' was working at but didn't really interact with anybody.

~I didn't get the pony/barnyard theme the crackheads had going on at the end at all.

~I watched that scene w/ Michael and Snoop about 50-11 times. You could hear the the admiration in Mikes voice when he said "It look good girl" #BLAOW#

~Oh and McNulty is feeling so guilty, shit, he might off hisself. I was hoping that the reporter would get caught pulling shit out his ass and McNulty would get lett off the hook a little bit....then I said naw.....he's had too many 2nd chances unlike most of the young dudes on the show.

The preview for ep.10 kinda lays everything out

He did remember, but didn't want to bring it up because saying goodbye was hard enough.

Didn't see that, but Scott's the one he's keeping an eye on, not the dude following Bubs. Vesides, he got the guy who came over form London for that.

>~I didn't get the pony/barnyard theme the crackheads had going

It's the junkman's stable. The guy with the horsecart that Dukie was working for.

I know he's following the white guy, but I thought it was kind of interesting how he's goin to the length of a disguise. I think Gus just wants to make it rain on him and catch him up on a collection of shit.

I guess my frame of reference is different.....I'm thinking junkman would not live in an actual stable with hay in the city.

They're all too fucking good. I could make a strong case for each and every episode why it deserves to be number one, and it feels almost obscene to me to rank one at five like that means it's anywhere short of brilliant. Every single one killed it in a major way.

293. "Is Marlow a metaphor for the media?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

Are Marlow and Gus two sides of the same coin the same way Prop Joe and Clay Davis are? Both Marlow and Gus want to clarify the truth and eliminate misrepresentation. What we've seen of Marlow this season had a lot to do with him protecting his image, often to extreme measures. Obviously, Gus's pursuit of the truth and his arguments for the necessity of journalistic integrity received more attention this season than Marlow's personal pursuit of the "truth"; but, Marlow's outrage that Omar called him out really emphasizes the importance he places on image.

Personally, I agreed with a lot of the criticisms of Marlow voiced in PTP; I also didn't understand Chris and Snoop's loyalty or what made Marlow a threat to anyone except his utter disregard for human life. But, after seeing Marlow's sheer rage directed to no one in particular, I'm convinced he's capable of accomplishing anything to maintain his image.

Plus, we've seen how much weight someone's reputation can carry in the series; Omar once lamented about how his reputation took the fun out of being a stick-up man. Omar regretted having what Marlow is desperate to maintain.

On a side note, if you want to liken Marlow to a serial killer, he reminds me of Achilles, a villain in the Orson Scott Card, "Ender's Shadow" series. Achilles is compelled to murder anyone who has seen him in a position of weakness. It got me thinking about how Marlow is similar to a serial killer. The Barksdales killed out of necessity, even if Avon relished the fight, but the Stanfields murder at Marlow's whims. I bet if Snoop and Chris weren't by his side, Marlow wouldn't hesitate to personally kill someone who tarnished his name.

In response to Reply # 296


          

Even if Omar killed him with one bullet I think Marlow would be satisfied that no one could call him punk. Regardless of Marlow's personal motives, it's all about controlling information.

But you're right, I would like to see something where Marlow proves his metal, maybe in last episode.

321. "My favorite is "The Sweet Forever""
In response to Reply # 306


  

          

I actually met him at a book reading/signing in Silver Springs, MD two years ago while he was promoting "The Night Garderner." I asked him how would I go about adapating "The Sweet Forever," and he told me that Puff had bought the rights to that and two othre books in an optioning deal. So, hers to hoping Puff does it right I guess.

but it can't be a mere coincidence that all of his episodes rank as most people's favorites.

You can also see similarities in a lot of the scenes and dialogue with his novels too.

In response to Reply # 314


          

i thought i read that david simon is very vigilant about the actors sticking to the script, that if they veer off course that they'll be quickly corrected. thats why i chalked up some of the street dialogue as being kind of chunky or exaggerated, because it was written by simon & co.

alot of shit came off corny to me. The acting was bad in some crucial parts (Marlo in jail? ugh). The tear jerking shit at the end didn't work, even though Dukie's story is good.

318. "every episode has a couple bad acting scenes to me."
In response to Reply # 317


  

          

but i just think that i'm being too picky.

the marlo thing was borderline bad acting but everything he said was in his character. and the way he said everything was marlo-esque. i just think that jamie hector can't play a role that isn't a man of a few words.. because in every role i've seen him play, he doesn't talk much.

when dukie asked mike about the piss balloons, he sounded like a bad actor if you ask me. it sounded like he was reading off a paper.

but that's just me.

but something is holding you back.

Another thing that pissed me off was the cameo from the evidence room guy. Instantly took me out of the scene. HI EVERYBODY, OUR SERIES IS ENDING SOON, SO WE'RE GONNA SHOW SOME OLD CHARACTERS AND SEE IF YOU REMEMBER THEM! Hopefully this Colvin and Namond thing produces something, because if not, that scene was a pointless "check in" too.

they checked up on randy (but they worked it into the plot) and i think it would be wrong not to show where namond is now. i don't see him nor bunny being worked into the last episode.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

All the recaps from my end are unnecessary, too many scenes in this one to pick just one to say which is best.

But Duq walking away has gotta be one of the saddest moments on screen of all time.

The Dexter reference was funny, I don't think it was a jab at all, the Wire is wrapping up and David Simon probably wanted to give props, like someone said before, HBO probably didn't even notice.

I can't believe this show is ending, I feel like I'm going to have to start from them beginning again and soak it all in again.

340. "Train Tracks metaphor"
In response to Reply # 333
Mon Mar-03-08 12:23 PM by AMart1801

          

From Season 3 --- http://www.hbo.com/thewire/music_feature/song2.html

---"the metaphor of the train cropped up a lot in The Wire, particularly in Season 3, the idea of a slow train coming and how that relates to the idea of reform. So, whenever you hear trains or people mention trains on 'The Wire,' something else is going on."

ALSO this discussion, from season 3-4 --http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/2006/08/train-kept-arolling-all-night-long.html

Anonymous said...
Maybe it's a wrong/right side of the tracks metaphor, the line McNulty straddles. Remember he takes Kima there when she starts to turn into him.

Anonymous said...
Or maybe it's a symbol for constancy - the police keep fighting the war on drugs and violence and corruption, but that train keeps rolling along; one train goes out of service, another one takes its place, much like how "the game" works.

8:50 PM, August 02, 2006
s said...
My guess, from the general theme of the show, is that trains represent the institutions that Simon is so critical of and that McNulty and Bunk represent, well, themselves, the individuals going up against those institutions. Not only are they dwarfed by the size of the institution, but the only protest they can offer is to take a piss in its direction and then meekly step aside as it passes on. To quote the matrix, the sound of inevitability...


Time to keep digging

Breaking down The Wire and all of the metaphors and hidden meanings. Shedding light on some of the real life inspiration for the characters and more. Granted half the fun is figuring that shit out for yourself but still it'd be nice to go back and see the shit you missed.

They should include it with the complete 5 season dvd set.

341. "Take a look at Once Upon A Time In The West; the train equals progress....."
In response to Reply # 333
Mon Mar-03-08 01:51 PM by Mr Mech

          

When the railroads were built, towns were built and flourished around the train stations. The same thing happened when highways were built; Route 66 was once considered a buffet of the American experience and prosperity but now defunct towns line the defunct highway.

So, the train in The Wire reminds us that innovations lead to prosperity but only until a new innovation replaces it; what was once prosperous is now only dilapidated.

I don't think Simon and Burns are referencing "Once Upon A Time In the West"; but, I think the train in both the film and The Wire tell us the same message about America's cycle of progress and degradation.

349. "My Two Cents"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

1. Kima's mad for McNulty not telling her you gotta assemble Ikea furniture. Seriously, I think she knows he's better police than that, and sees no other way to end the madness. Also she seemed to be so affected by the triple murder, and that little boy seeing it all. She totally came back to reality after that.

1b. I think they didn't know what to do w/Kima after a couple of seasons. She's like the odd one out since she moved upstairs.

2. All I could think of is Dukie is walking straight into hell when he finally started in to the stable. God I don't want to see what happens to him now.

3. I think bro man Bond is the leak. Dude has ambitions to move up so...

4. The looks Bunny gave Carcetti were deserving of an Emmy by itself.

5. Just burns me up how Scott is getting taken care of, when Mike Fletcher is digging in and doing the work like you are supposed to. (he is FINE too...holla at a sista!)

6. I was choked up too when Mike and Dukie had to say goodbye to Bug. I sat there thinking is there any other choice but, no.

7. Just shows you what a psychopath and egomaniac Marlo is, going off about what a dead man said and no one telling him.

8. Last two heads of the co-op are pushing daisies up, so that's why I think Marlo's a dead man.

9. U notice how sad McNulty looked when Lester said he hoped Charlene was awake when he got home? Dude has nobody now, just like Betie said.

10. You know what else is a crime to me is how Kima and McNulty have both turned their backs on Bubs. That is fowl on both their parts, esp Kima.
