"The Wire" on HBO

LINK MOTHERFUCKER LINK!

I did kinda feel like they leaned a little hard on the 'mirror' thing this week - Clay and Randy both saying "I don't care where the money is from as long as it's free" and Bubs and Cutty's boss both talking about doubling territory.

and I thought this was a joke

It's so nice to see all the characters I missed in 4.1, finally weaving their way back into the plot.

The look between Pryz and Bubbles slayed me.

"I was a police, in the city."

"And why did you quit that."

"I was fired for killing a co-worker. Oh, and one time I beat a kid's eye out cause I was drunk and he sassed me."

Yeah, this isn't going to end well...

see you did it all by yr self!

A club girl who took up years earlier with Wee-Bey, fathering his son and taking his name, Delonda soon found herself one of many in Wee-Bey's stable of molls. And it had been years since Bey had lived with anyone save for his tropical fish. But in the wake of his life imprisonment, she has shown her loyalty, visiting on weekends and bringing Namond to the visiting room to be schooled by his father. In return, Delonda's loyalty is rewarded with financial security that accrues from Wee-Beys standing in what is left of the Barksdale organization.

hbo.com has info not provided on the show (at least not yet). i was wondering if that basement aquarium that weebay took d'angelo to was in delonda house.

and also possib;y that I'm about to be banned from imageshack

girl getting cut was maybe the most painful scene yet, although it did allow an opening for dukie to show himself a bodhisattva roaming the animal realms. wonder if we'll discover the origins of the beef. the antagonism starts ordinarily enough then almost immediately escalates to assault w/a deadly weapon - they're telling us something here.

omar in it for the sport roffle

gotta think the other shoe's gonna drop with the suponas and give carcietti the election.

rawls acknowleging lester's brilliance was kinda tender.

marlo eyeing michael - creepy.

this is best season so far by a long shot says me (altho/and the actual "wire" part of the show feels vestigial/outgrown/underloved whereas it was the whole game before; i guess i'm saying it would be nice to see a little more policework but that may come - and i also may be stubbornly clinging to a mode the show's moved on from)

The Slate reviewer (Weisberg?) has a bizarro article on the show talking about difficult the slang is to penetrate - he apparently took three or four episodes to come to terms with "yo" and "feel me."

where is ep. 4444?$$??$??$#

marlo eyeing michael - creepy.

heh there's a couple shots of cutty grinning and staring at michael throwing punches that were kinda creepy, esp. when a chick is trying to talk to him

I want my AVI!

milo hm OK, i guess i wasn't paying attention

in his defense, Baltimore is the only place I've ever been where "yo" is used as a pronoun, it's not really the normal usage. I didn't think "feel me" was so much of a Bmore thing, though (although "carry it" definitely is). I kinda wish The Wire would go all out with the local slang, down the hill, half-n-half, chicken boxes, get your life, ayyurp, etc.

also *pssst*

Rename the mp4 extension to avi fixes the issues that this torrent has. it will get a little pixelated at the 2 bad spots but it will play though
