There was an awesome documentary about Melvin Williams, the preacher guy who used to be a drug kingpin in real life, on BET tonight. Check it out if you can, it's pretty cool.

I just watched all of season 1 in the space of like 48 hours. Very good! Are the other seasons as good as the first?

I got my dad & stepmom the season 1 dvds. It was weird watching the first episode again. I was really conscious of there were a few "fucks" in every single line, couldn't tell if it was because I was watching with my folks or because it was a little gratuitous at first.

I have seen TWO S5 preview specials.
One included the line "he feared and hated me, I merely wanted him dead" which I'm sure is quoting something/someone but can't place it.

You talking about "The Last Word," jeff?
― Leee, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. It is full of spoilers or just a promo puff piece?
― jeff, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
"Is it"
some spoilers, people talking about what they were aiming for w/ this season

Sis and bro-in-law brought first 3 discs of s4 home for xmas. Now I'm thinking of rewatching all 4 seasons during my winter break. Also: what's the best place to dl or torrent new episodes once they start airing?
― tehresa, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
tvtorrents.com

TVT is fast and well-seeded, but you have to upload right off the bat to get a positive ratio to download.
― Leee, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
eztv.it <- the best.

season 5 premiere on hbo on demand. it is very good.
the new orleans times-picayune had an article last year about david simon et al making an effort to use new orleans music on the wire--hence the s4 montage to (the shitty cover version of) "walk on gilded splinters." new ep has "mother-in-law." one more reason for wire love.

yeah, the guy who plays Bunk is from New Orleans and I believe he and the show have been involved in a number of post-Katrina fundraiser-type things.

also lol @ baltimore sun tv critic guy bitching about criticism of baltimore sun on tv. nothing too spoilery
― adam, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:43 (sixteen years ago) link
the first seven episodes made available for preview
ok, so they're previewing this season a little less than the last one, but not by much (especially since this season is the shortest yet, only 10 episodes).
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
bunk did a waiting for godot production in a fema park or something in n.o. i think.

yeah he did, in the lower 9th ward on a street corner. like 1200 people showed up (i was working, sadly) and everyone was raving about it for a while. whether that's because it was really good or because we are really starved for that kind of stuff right now i can't say. it was still an awesome idea.
― adam, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Premiere already HBO On Demand apparently.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 31 December 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link

The Wire is not shot in HD. Waiting won't make any difference.

Thank you for this; I'm really looking forward to going home tonight. 6 and 7 appear to have leaked as well; once 3 and 4 hit, it's party time.
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I got all excited and started downloading eps 1&2 last night before remembering I haven't seen Season 4 yet.
:(
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link
You have nothing to feel bad about. Season 4 is a revelation as to the potential of what television can be.
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
friend watched 1 and said good -sets everything up for the season. i am getting so antsy!

from the piratebay comments (grain of salt):
mpinphilly at 2008-01-03 00:28 CET: First, major props to Warcloud on the massive re-up. Second, peoples, from what I understand by reading other online fora, HBO gave Eps 1 and 2 (Eps 51 and 52 in the overall count of Wire Eps) on one screener DVD and Eps 5, 6, and 7 (55-57) on another. I.e., they didn't give out Eps 3 and 4 (53 and 54). Smart, arguably, but this means it's unlikely we'll see 3 and 4 until they air, or at least go "On Demand" the Monday prior to airing (they should be available On Demand Jan 14 and Jan 21). So all you peoples need to decide what to do. I'm waiting until I see 4 to move on to 5-7...
