yeah they made brewer's look like some vip dance club. should've just filmed at choices

― am0n, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, I avoided this thread (or browsed it very carefully) when I was waiting for HBO to air all the S4 episodes and a buncha folks here had downloaded them already. People who still have half the series on their netflix queue should know to read with caution. (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, it's just - that one's a doozy!

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

sorry! it's the opposite of a major plot point if that's any consolation.

― sean gramophone, Saturday, 24 March 2007 11:41 (nineteen years ago)

that's true!

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 24 March 2007 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

it's just 3 seconds where rawls pops his head out, strictly a wtf moment

― cutty, Saturday, 24 March 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

less than 3 seconds even. totally saw it coming.

― modestmickey, Saturday, 24 March 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

haha suuuuuuuuuure

― strongohulkington, Saturday, 24 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

gaydar

― jeff, Saturday, 24 March 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

how does one see that coming? you can't even remember the name of "the black guy" on the show

― cutty, Saturday, 24 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

HAHAHA

― Alex in SF, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:03 (nineteen years ago)

Hey if you sit around calling EVERYONE a fag well then you get to say you called it at least once in a while.

― Alex in SF, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

He does have quite a penchant for anal metaphors in his speech.

― Oilyrags, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

if anything bunk says and does more gay shit than rawls!

― cutty, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

[bunk line about making lester bowlegged goes here]

― am0n, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

Even so, Bunk talks more about pussy (or pussae, if you prefer) than he does gay stuff.

― Oilyrags, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

PUSSAEEEEEE

― cutty, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

wait a minute modestmickey was talking about bunk???

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 24 March 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

re spoilers -- the rawls in gay bar bit was in s03, so it's not really fair to call it a spoiler -- it happened two years ago! it's just that not many anglos here have got up to s04 yet.

"You know why I respect you? Because when it came time for you to fuck me... you were gentle."
"That's 'cause I wanted your first time to be special."

― milo z, Saturday, 24 March 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

was that rawls vs burrell?

― cutty, Saturday, 24 March 2007 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

McNulty & Bunk

don't remember which detectives had a similar exchange in the Homicide book

― milo z, Saturday, 24 March 2007 20:47 (nineteen years ago)

you don't think rawls had anything gay about him? ok dude

― modestmickey, Sunday, 25 March 2007 03:33 (nineteen years ago)

tracer, no dude, i was talking about rawls, not bunk. here's one reason rawls was predictable. compare and contrast:
bunk: constant and repeated romantic trysts with various women. married. to a woman.
rawls: oddly absent any sort of mention of romantic life.

― modestmickey, Sunday, 25 March 2007 03:35 (nineteen years ago)

> oddly absent any sort of mention of romantic life.

To be fair, this describes me, too, and I'm not gay. I'm just beneath the notice of the entire female sex, and based on Rawls' personality, the same isn't too much of a stretch to apply to him.

― Oilyrags, Sunday, 25 March 2007 03:39 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, not trying to say that gaydarology is an exact science or anything, dude. just had a feeling and i was right.

― modestmickey, Sunday, 25 March 2007 03:47 (nineteen years ago)

Bunk has about ten times as much screen time as Rawls over the course of the series. We see him outside of work, hanging with the boys, etc.. Rawls exists (aside from the aforementioned shot) entirely as his job.

― milo z, Sunday, 25 March 2007 04:51 (nineteen years ago)

Just got through second-to-last ep of S3.

FUK U WIRE AHHHH

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 1 April 2007 05:50 (nineteen years ago)

The balcony scene is THE SHIT.

― Oilyrags, Sunday, 1 April 2007 06:04 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, balcony scene has some great shit going on. real nice character background, and amazingly fucked up psychological under-the-facade stuff, all awesomely acted out.

― modestmickey, Sunday, 1 April 2007 06:10 (nineteen years ago)

Did that episode have Avon's best line about how all the people at the warehouse shouldn't be "fuckin' around with all these guns and shit"?

― milo z, Sunday, 1 April 2007 06:12 (nineteen years ago)

Just got through second-to-last ep of S3.

oh hey mr. hoosteen. tell you what: watch the LAST ep of s3 before you think about posting. omg stfu etc

― kenan, Sunday, 1 April 2007 06:17 (nineteen years ago)

milo with the spoiler

― am0n, Sunday, 1 April 2007 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

Like hell he is. As pointed out upthread, that scene aired over two years ago.

― Oilyrags, Sunday, 1 April 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

SPIOLARZ!

Magwitch is Pip's sponsor.

― Oilyrags, Sunday, 1 April 2007 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

The balcony scene is THE SHIT.

-- Oilyrags, Sunday, April 1, 2007 1:04 AM

Yeah after I watched Final Ep (stfu kenan etc, "fuk u wire" reiterating popular sentiment that it was the 'most unwelcome event on tv since the fox news channel') I went back and re-watched the balcony scene. Sooo great. Time to do some mad torrenting for S4.

Did that episode have Avon's best line about how all the people at the warehouse shouldn't be "fuckin' around with all these guns and shit"?

-- milo z, Sunday, April 1, 2007 1:12 AM

haha nah that was last ep

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 1 April 2007 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

2nd-to-last ep. has the Day of the Jackalline, though.

― C0L1N B..., Sunday, 1 April 2007 18:57 (nineteen years ago)

i've broken and am torrenting s04.

― That one guy that quit, Sunday, 1 April 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

A wise decision that. I've finished s04 just minutes ago and it was, once again, amazing.

― Jibe, Sunday, 1 April 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

please release dvd's before recidivism

― modestmickey, Sunday, 1 April 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

aw dude, sorry!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 1 April 2007 22:58 (nineteen years ago)

Best Buy has season one on sale for $24.99 today. Don't know how long the sale lasts.

― milo z, Monday, 2 April 2007 00:13 (nineteen years ago)

BOIOIOIOIOING!

― Oilyrags, Monday, 2 April 2007 02:28 (nineteen years ago)

I picked it up and had a $5 reward zone certificate. The Wire Season One for $20! Such a steal.

― Harpal, Monday, 2 April 2007 06:54 (nineteen years ago)

who up in this bitch has seen 'paid in full' w. wood harris?

― That one guy that quit, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

SONOFABITCH

Just bought it 2 weeks ago for $50+. BASTARDOS. (Totally worth it, duh, but still.)

― David R., Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

Came into work this morning and once again The Wire crew was all set up on Read Street up the block from the office! I kinda circled the block to get a better look but didn't see any important cast/crew members. maybe if I go by on my lunch break or after work they'll still be there...

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 23 April 2007 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

walked by "detective sydnor" on charles st twice today.
