RAPPER Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, who plays a vicious drug dealer on HBO's "The Wire," once served time in the shooting death of a teenager and made ends meet in jail by selling homemade sex toys. In her upcoming autobiography, "Grace After Midnight," Pearson writes, "It ain't like setting up a Starbucks in the mall . . . I crafted them in four sizes. Made them as real-life as possible. I knew my workmanship had to be solid or I'd get complaints." She was paid with cans of soup, packs of cookies, candy and, once, a joint.

It took me two eps to figure out she was a girl, but she god oddly cuter throughout the season. Or maybe that's just me.
she GOT oddly

Watching episodes with her after reading the article where her past was spelled out made her character just that much more creepy.
― mh, Monday, 23 July 2007 15:12 (sixteen years ago) link
More than creepy: frightening.

Unfair and lame. That scene's funny without a laugh track.

I just finished the first season of "The Wire" yesterday and had to rewatch select parts of the episodes over again. This show is poetic. This show is epic. Man, once I watched that chess scene between D'Angelo, Wallace (R.I.P.) and Bodie I was sold: "The king stay the king". This show is so quotable.

What's poetic about that scene is how wrong Bodie is. :)

no, if hbo hews to their old strategy, it will probably come out when season 5 airs.

From what I've read, it seems that the season 4 dvd set will be out around Christmas, a couple months before season 5 begins.

One thing that strikes me about a show is the degree of respect with which the drug business is treated - like finally someone recognizes that this is sophisticated organized crime and not just a bunch of dudes in skullcaps looking menacing on a corner.
I know that's a strange way to put it, but I always felt there was a huge disparity between the excessive respect lavished on the mafia and the condescension to black gangs.

Just read in the current Esquire that Steve Earle has a role this upcoming season.
― Eazy, Friday, 24 August 2007 04:26 (sixteen years ago) link
he's been in it before, as a drug counselor

o whoa, he's *Waylon* - I knew that dude looked familiar

Did anyone see that Lance "Lt. Daniels" Reddick is going to have a recurring role as a villain on the next season of Lost? Kinda rad, especially since Lost and The Wire are going to be on more or less simultaneously, thus giving us a double dose of that guy.
― Mr. Perpetua, Friday, 24 August 2007 12:38 (sixteen years ago) link
i didn't realize that was earle. makes sense i guess since he was a notorious addict iirc
― am0n, Friday, 24 August 2007 13:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I think this was mentioned on the thread already but Earle recorded "Way Down In The Hole" for the Season 5 theme, too.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 24 August 2007 13:41 (sixteen years ago) link
lance reddick as a villain sounds amazing
― cutty, Friday, 24 August 2007 23:21 (sixteen years ago) link
he was kinda the bad guy in "The Corner"
