there are things there that look like spoilers but aren't and things that don't look like spoilers but actually could be. did i just blow your mind?
That makes sense, and I think the first thing I saw falls into the first category. Gah, I've only got 2 or 3 episodes left so really i should just leave anything Wire-talk-on-the-internet alone for a bit longer.

I just started watching this again for the third time. I am hopeless addict.
I noticed something in Episode 8 of Season 1 that I couldn't find confirmation of elsewhere and I wondered if anyone else could shed some light: at the end of the episode Bunk picks up a woman in a bar. Later Jimmy gets a phonecall and has to go rescue him. When he arrives he finds Bunk dressed in a pink dressing gown and trying to burn his suit. However is the woman Bunk seduces none other than Randy's foster mother from Season 4, Ms Ana? I could have sworn it was.

I think it's kind of funny that The Wire can't resist the Hollywood touch of making Nerese Campbell 25 years younger and way hotter than Sheila Dixon.

I don't think IMDB is conclusive either way, as the role was so small in the original Season 1 episode it doesn't look like it is credited at all on the IMDB cast list to Denise Hart or otherwise http://www.imdb.com/title/tt074943/fullcredits#cast (unless I've misread it, which is likely :-))
Oh well...

Michael Scott: Shh, just stop. Here's what you do. You tell him that you're his friend and that you're gonna help him and that everyone's gonna be all right. And then you put a wire on him and you find out who's selling him drugs and then you get that guy and you flip up, turn him into a snitch. You follow that guy to the people who's really really bad. Been watching The Wire recently. I don't understand a word of it.

P.S. Why do I get the feeling Elba will be playing an equivalent of the other-branch manager on the UK version, cool-guy Neil?
― nabisco, Thursday, 15 January 2009 22:39 (fifteen years ago) link
It's been a long time since I saw the UK version, so I don't remember Neil, but wasn't the manager of the Stamford Branch supposed to be kind of a cool guy?
