I don't know if he comes back in 4, but I've always felt like Lester Freamon was a poorly utilized character. He's great in S1 but then becomes a caricature of himself.

while omitting Brother M was a mistake-i never really took to him. he seemed out of place to me too. unnatural in a way,when set against everyone else in the wire.

nah he was ok because of his sidekick, you know, the guy who was always rolling his eyes like "there he goes again"
I also think there was much sad irony in what happened to d because on some level string and d were a lot alike.
ziggy was a great character but reminds me of people from college so it's hard to watch him without moderate to intense degree of embarrassment!

But String is more calculating and more willing to do what he has to do in spite of any distaste for the ugly side of the game.

The first scene Ziggy is in, where he gets his willy out in the bar, is so otm for one of my college friends. I do not understand the Ziggy hate.
The scene where Brother M is ragging on his sidekick for getting the wrong magazines (something about The Nation or Atlantic Weekly?) is presumably supposed to be funny, but I didn't like it and it sums up what everyone is saying about him not really belonging in the show.

lester does come back fairly strong in s04, but when the carcetti story starts there's that much less space for the cops anyway.

brother mouzone is one incongruous mufuuuur… and that is what is GREAT about him
― czn, Tuesday, 13 November 2007 11:16 (sixteen years ago) link
First thought was Stringer, but chances are he'll get enough to win this anyway. So Frank Sabotka for me. I'm a sucker for that 'tragic flawed hero' thing.

I love Bunk, even more so after realizing it was him in When the Levees Broke.

Omar was my gut reaction, though I'm coming round to realize that my heart might actually be with Snoop. Dukie is a close third, and I'm sorry to see that he and his classmates were not among the options.

For a (so far) medium to minor character, he's pretty great.
― Oilyrags, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 00:46 (sixteen years ago) link
i was considering him but he's sort of underused so far.

didn't vote but might have voted rawls.
I voted Bunk, but I kinda wish I had voted Prez.

Rawls deserved a vote for the gay bar cameo.

i figure bodie must have some huge role in season 4 otherwise he's way overrated
― deej, Thursday, 22 November 2007 07:58 (sixteen years ago) link
i totally lied, it was daniels, not freamon. i should not post at 2am.
― tehresa, Thursday, 22 November 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't vote in this because I wasn't caught up (still not). But I just finished season 3 and omg I miss Stringer Bell! his death scene was perfect.
not entirely unrelated: is Idris Elba maybe the hottest man ever?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
i know i shouldn't be poking around wire threads when i haven't finished the series but still, argh i hate spoilers^^^
anyways, i'm almost finished w/ season 2 right now (brother mouzone just arrived), so these results seem weird. bodie? really? i take it he plays a bigger role as the show progresses.
also my favorites are obv affected by how far i am w/ the series.
bubbles was a season 1 favorite for me.
also daniels, seriously he is one of the best characters on the show, best cast, too
d'angelo & wallace, love them too and miss them
stringer, kima. kima got robbed on this
― mark cl, Thursday, 16 July 2009 18:52 (fifteen years ago) link
also, omar's obv great but i think he was just hyped way too much for me before i started the series. i only started watching this show at the beginning of june but i had already heard so much about omar that w/ every appearance i expect so much. he is a great character tho
― mark cl, Thursday, 16 July 2009 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link
i enjoy the greek, serge, and vondas and all them but i have little to no affection for them. they're well-acted and well-cast but something about them still seems like standard 'foreign criminal' shit.
what i liked about season 1 was how sympathetic it made me feel towards the barksdale crew. obviously the sobotkas are more sympathetic but the series thus far hasn't pulled me into them the way it has w/ the barksdale crew.
― mark cl, Thursday, 16 July 2009 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
*meant that the sobotkas are more sympathetic than the greek et al, not more than the barksdale crew
