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

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

BOIOIOIOIOING!

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

SONOFABITCH

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

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...

Ain't no special dead. There's just dead.

Just finished season 2. It's odd: Season 1 seemed meaty -- there was lots going on, and I could watch an episode and then leave it. Season 2 seemed to take ages to get itself set up, and almost as soon as it did, everybody was going to jail and it was winding down. I think it possibly just tried to do too much.

― stet, Monday, 30 April 2007 03:37 (nineteen years ago)

Just finished s2 last night as well. It was nice to see McNulty get fucked by someone besides Rawls.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 13:16 (nineteen years ago)

Season two is the weakest in some ways, like stet says they didn't manage the pacing at all.

season two is great.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 30 April 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Oh boo! I shldn't have read that S2 might not be my thing. S1 is/was utter blissful orgasmic experience to sit through.

― stevienixed, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

I just finnished watching season one and yous guys have totally killed my excitment at checking out season two now :(

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

season two is essential... you can't just skip it.

― kenan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm. I'll watch it either way. Even if it's just 1/10th as good, it'll be better than watching E! channel (what isn't ey?)

― stevienixed, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

season two is great

― RJG, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

I actually liked season 2 a little bit more than 3.

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

It seemed like season 3 was trying a little too hard to get things back to season 1 status quo (i.e. the old team going after the old gang), which is what I wanted to see but still.

(it still kicked ass)

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, aye, S2 is great stuff, it just didn't feel as chunky as season 1, somehow.

― stet, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I think that's why McNulty is still likeable in that season--he's wrong about refocusing on Barksdale/Bell acts obnoxiously, even for him, to get back on that case, but he's essentially arguing the viewers' position--who's going to watch the show if it's about Kintel Williamson?

― C0L1N B..., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

Also funny, in s3 McNulty keeps talking about what a smart police he is but he doesn't really do much proactive policework, besides manipulating people to get back on the case. I guess he pulled some shit to get the disposable phones, but that's it?

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

PUT SEASON 3 ON SALE PLEASE.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

PUT SEASON 4 ON DVD PLS

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

THAT TOO

tho I cd, as a s3 remedy, just shit or get off the pot re: the NetFlix movies I've had since 2005.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

what?

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Two years of netflix defeat?

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

Only 23 months!

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

my one prob w. s03 is that the hamsterdam project does seem like a kind of 'what if' scenario, breaking from the (what i imagine to be!) realism (to use a shitty word) of the rest of it. although on the commentaries they say such things have been attempted.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

have to rerewatch w/ commentaries

― RJG, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

Solution for David:

DARK HORSE COMICS

MAR070018 THE WIRE SEASON 3 #1 $2.99

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, I watched that Q&A thing from season 3, and he said that to his knowledge nothing like Hamsterdamn has been attempted.

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

a) the 'what if' scenario of S3 is what's gr8 about it

b) lol "realism"

c) former mayor kurt schmoke (aka sir schmoke-a-lot...j/k) simply posed the idea of drug legalization

― am0n, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah now i remember c)

don't get b) though. the show goes to great lengths to get details -- of municipal politics, the law, police procedure, and gang vernacular --right; or so i'm led to believe.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

This whole talk re: verisimilitude reminds me of the one WTF moment I had w/ s2: that out-of-the-blue fancy "I am tripping my balls off" camera move after Ziggy popped GG & the kid @ the store. As far as I can remember, directors have eschewed any showy camera crap, & just shot scenes as-is. (FWIW, the scene directly following, w/ Ziggy in the car & the radio on & his hand shaking, totally made up for that little lapse.)

Fucking Zig.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 20:37 (nineteen years ago)
