Just finished this yesterday.
*spoiler*there's no way that they keep shitty reporter's stuff quiet in the newsroom. You can't just ship the two people off and tell 'em to shut up. That feels like Simon's grudge against Evil Newspaper Bosses coming through. Loved that final EP though; way more satisfying than I thought it would be after ep 9.

I haaaaaaaaate the bad reporter so much that I hate the actor too
he did direct that bad "the visitor" film so maybe he deserves it

Season 1 = about the drug tradeSeason 2 = about the portSeason 3 = about how Daniels looks with his shirt off
Season 4 = about how this all becomes WAY more vexed and depressing when you factor in loads of children
― nabisco, Friday, 10 October 2008 21:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Loads of children + Daniel with his shirt off = recipe for disaster

season 4 was my favorite season. Those kids were amazing.

Much of Lance Reddick's young life was spent with instruments, not acting; he studied piano as a kid, and majored in classical composition at the Eastman School of Music. He switched to pop upon graduation, then turned to stage acting to further his music career, eventually attending Yale's drama school.
wow!

I don't know anyone who hasn't spent time in prison who has found the time to go to the gym that much.

Honestly. There is an intimidating amount of certifiable Greek-God statues on that show.

I mostly remember Reddick. Who is else is similarly ridiculously built? I guess McNulty is in better shape than you could reasonably expect a guy who drinks that much and of that age to be.

Otherwise, Stringer, which I guess is no surprise, and also Avon, more so than you'd imagine (not to mention he enormous hands). And I think Bodie Not to the level of Daniels, though. These things stand out when you spend months in your basement watching it, stagnant and eating unnecessary amounts of chocolate.
― Their time's limited, hard rocks, too (mehlt), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 01:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Xxpost, that is.
I used to go to the same gym as Herc, I never saw him close up but I bet he's a lot more built than he seems on TV.

slim charles was my favorite guy but i don't really know why, he wasn't that important! i guess because he is huge and quiet.
― horrible (harbl), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 01:40 (fifteen years ago) link
like a bear, almost
he's definitely a kind of innately likable guy.
― The stic.man from the hilarious 'Dead Prez' albums (some dude), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 01:49 (fifteen years ago) link
it's the voice, I think. he's on the radio sometimes here in DC. also, he might be the only character, pretty much everything he says & all the advice he gives in the series is OTM. i watched all these episodes a year ago but pay attention to slim charles, whenever a guy doesn't follow his advice bad stuff happens.

love that guy
― ILX MOD (musically), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 04:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, he killed Cheese. I dug him because he was pragmatic about most things.
― a better command of the mummy language (joygoat), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 05:48 (fifteen years ago) link
he told joe to keep an eye on marlo, noticed that marlo was trying to get cheese to turn on joe, tells marlo he wasn't cut out to be a ceo (which IMHO was a lie & a very smart one @ that moment), and i wish i knew the exact dialogue, but somehow convinces omar that joe had nothing to do with what happened to butchie, and that marlo did, without explicitly saying marlo did it, gets the connect from marlo without actually crossing him, and somehow picks the exact moment to shoot cheese b/c for sure cheese would have fucked everything up w/the greeks.
― T-PALIN (daria-g), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 06:48 (fifteen years ago) link
OTMI was really glad that it was him (and I think Ricardo Hendrix) that assumedly are in charge of things in the end (as they're the ones meeting with the Greeks). In a sort of unending quasi-monarchy, where you can only hope for more benevolent leaders 'wearing the crown', it's definitely a lot better to see someone like Slim Charles in charge. Maybe it's because he came up under Stringer, but he still has retained something more of straight-business-ness thats lost with the Marlo generation.

xxpost. Yeah, yeah. I think you can't deny that that generational aspect is present throughout the show, though (hence the Prop Joe speeches about how it used to be buy for a dollar sell for two, or Cutty's initial reaction to dealing drugs). I think part of the really interesting thing is to see how things evolve over the 8 or so years, given say, the rise of technology (of cell phones, the internet, etc.) and how the drug trade follows its own course of incredibly rapid transformation. Of course the irony is that the more things change the more they stay the same, queue up Cheese talking about how there is "no back in the day," subsequently getting his, of course. That being said, I think Slim Charles is a kind of last of his breed. The late 00's just seems like a bad time to come up as a drug dealer, I guess.

still can't believe this show got away with having a character named cheese wagstaff. there's your dickensian aspect.
