daniels and his wife were in separate bedrooms at least as early as s02.

from what the actor i met told me, season 5 should be filming right now. but when the hell does season 4 come out on dvd? i can't find that info online anywhere

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, season 5 supposedly starts filming this month, although I haven't heard anything concrete like those signs pointing to the set or cast member sightings yet. if it wasn't so rare that the show needed any white extras I'd look into casting calls (my dad got to be an extra on Homicide a couple times, though. Pembleton's house on the show was almost his house!).

i didn't meet an actor but it was in the newspaper that s05 was going to start lensing this month or next.

"LENSING" ..!!!

i write for variety don't you know.

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

it also says in article linked above filming won't finish until end of summer, post-prod. in october. they are doing generation kill simultaneously. s04 dvd will come out, like s03 did, right before the premiere.

― am0n, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

uh that last sentence is my own assumption :/

― am0n, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, plz to hurry it along hbo!

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

i've been watching the wire at least once or twice a week for the past couple months. i'm dying now while waiting for s04 on dvd! what's up with boy marlow!

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

Do you really want to know?

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

not yet :(

Snoop story

― daria-g, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

Hah! A couple friends of mine have noticed the similarites between Khalid Shayk Mohammed and Weebay, too.

― Oilyrags, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

i just finished season 4 and was practically hiding under the pillow by the end of the last episode. i love this show, but there's something almost masochistic about watching it. the wonderful performances from the kids really twisted the knife in.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

haha while reading that khalid story, the image of wee bey munching on chips, muttering, "oh yeah, and i killed him too" was the first thing that came to mind

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

speaking of which, i missed wee bey and dee in season 3. they were so much more interesting than the new guys!

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

i think i've said this before, but the "street" parts of season 4 were like a horror movie in many respects.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

good point. right down to the zombie/vacant house thing and the fact that the romantic subplot (cutty and the nurse) was completely tacked on.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

Seriously, Dee was my DUDE!

xxxpost!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I can't read this thread, because I've only just got to season one episode five

Me too, exactly the same place. Does it stay good through season 2 +?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

it gets BETTER. season 2 is sort of a "low point" but with a series like this that's a compliment. seasons 3+4 (especially 4) are every bit the equal of season 1.

― max, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

i think 3 & 4 are better than 1.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

I think season 4's a little overrated but 3's probably my favorite.

Last week I got to talk on the phone with Blake, the music supervisor for the show, and had to resist trying to ask a bunch of questions about season 5 (which he probably wouldn't have been able to answer anyway since I assume he does most of his work in post-production).

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

did you ask him who's doing the theme for season 5?

― max, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

no :(

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

there's a tom waits version of the theme song floating around somewhere i think. hmm.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

that was season 2, wasn't it?

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

i must have erased the memory from my mind. i can't stand that dude's style.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah.

That Snoop article is great.

― jeff, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

tom waits wrote the theme song, it's not a tom waits "version"

― cutty, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's a Tom Waits original, actually... first season was the Blind Boys of Alabama, second was Waits, third was Aaron Neville and the fourth was some schoolkids, as I recall.

― max, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

Season 2 is great! You guys are crazy!

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

Seriously! I might even venture to say I prefer 2 to 3!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

I can't find the thread where we ranked every single season of the Wire and the Sopranos, but I definitely prefer 2 to 3 now (I think.)

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Season 2 may be my fave.

I found a Polish-language (At least it looks like Polish, but I could be wrong) version of the theme song on slsk.

― C0L1N B..., Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

Can anyone find that ranking HBO shows thread? GAH I hate the new search engine.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

i love method man: "that shit was unseemly!'

also very happy to see the brief return of kimmie, though for her sake i hope she meant what she said about being retired.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

Seeing Frank Sobotka on the "Black Donnellys" hurts me deep. Also, that show sucks.

― jeff, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

Jeff on the scrilla.

― Oilyrags, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

Man my heart leapt when McNulty thought he spotted Port Authority Cop whatshername in Season 3 and then it wasn't her. I was like "Seasonal Character Returns!! Yes!!" But then she didn't.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

you mean Beadie? you haven't watched Season 4 yet, have you? I won't spoil how she shows up again.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah I'm stuck waiting on the DVDs. I guess I could just torrent it, but I've become obsessed with hearing everything over my newish speakers.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

― am0n, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

― Oilyrags, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:57 (nineteen years ago)

― am0n, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)
