nah, it's about the same ratio of shit to fan-hitting. a little more, maybe. great episode, though

yeah it's still building i'd say. marlo's one evil fucker, the uh thing w/ the vender this week took my breath. fucker's smart too. pete best helping pryzbo into his car was pretty great. i was sorta wary when i heard the school angle but it's been really great so far. i think i like carcetti now too.

Somebody needs to get some Carcetti for Mayor bumper stickers up on CafePress.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 04:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Things are building at a good pace, I think. I reckon some real police work is in the cards very soon. Still 8 episodes to go!

*********WEEK 5 SPOILERS DUDES********

marlo seems intractable and doom laden then he pulls a 108 admits prop joe outsmarted him and joins the collective - kid is a cypher.

wondering if they just totally forgot abt the video cameras in fat man's store when pulling the omar set up - probably not, but the show did make a big deal out of them twice and then ignored them.

oh and that blog i mentioned upthread heavenandhere.wordpress.com is fun, some good conversations in the comments - david simon even dropped by to take my side in an argument (kinda).

Welcome to winter, 2004.

Oh shit, they shot Kima!

the cameras were pointing straight down at the ground, though, weren't they? and kima gives her little disgusted pout when she sees them. of course she's never NOT giving her little disgusted pout.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 5 October 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

o i think i can remember one scene where she wasn't giving her little disgusted pout

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 5 October 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

james you disgust me, and i love it.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 5 October 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

kima really deserved that action - wonder what ever happened to her terrible girlfriend

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 5 October 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

dunno but kima's a hell of a lot more femme these days!

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 5 October 2006 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

scroll down to the comments for a nice surprise ;)

I may not watch Heroes tonight after all...

FileFront is sloooooow. But one day is better than a full week, I suppose.

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 9 October 2006 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the whole lot has leaked now.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Tuesday, 10 October 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

oh do tell - i've got 1-9, and 11 (orig labeled as 10). in the piratebay 10 (really 11) comments there's links to the other episodes but all the download slots are full and someone said they not work so good any way.

i had 4 hour sweet wire marathon last night.

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 10 October 2006 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

HOLY CRAP

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

through ep8 now - new teachers are fine.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I watch 6 last night and was a little bit disappointed with how much they hammered home the whole Cutty/Namond-don't-care-about-politics thing, but otherwise it was a great episode as usual.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

but the cutty jogging scene was spectacular! i think the wire has only done two music montages ever -- that one and the "walk the line" from episode nine i think of season one. two of my favorite wire moments.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

That's true, it was pretty outstanding.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder who's gonna get the ring next.

― Paul Eater (eater), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i think cutty (on the show) could do with a look through this thread - Girls - What Does "Romance" Mean To You?

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Loved the Cutty jogging scene. I caved and watched up to episode 9; the scene where Chris and Snoop use Marc Clarke and the Big Phat Morning Show as an indicator of who is and isn't from Baltimore was hilarious. "Maybe I should ask the questions from now on."

cutty jogging scene = http://www.breakplay.com/gameimages/gamescreen41e2fa1b74694-game.jpg

― am0n (am0n), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

nah, isn't there a montage in every season finale?

funny that there's a Big Phat Morning Show reference in an episode that'll air just a few weeks after they re-tooled the show and canned everyone but Marc Clarke. .

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 12 October 2006 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

they've been having a lot of cast members on the morning show lately, too (Prez, Omar, I think some of hte kids), but i keep sleeping in or forgetting to listen.

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 12 October 2006 01:29 (seventeen years ago) link

the other scene that bugged me so far is when prop joe does those voices on the phone

― am0n (am0n), Thursday, 12 October 2006 02:53 (seventeen years ago) link

so i've watched them all now and i don't really know what to say - it's like that.

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Thursday, 12 October 2006 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Me too, I became embroiled in this show for two days or something because I couldn't resist! (I'd only seen the same ones you had before, btw)

I'm gonna have to rewatch this whole thing sometime soon. I'm very excited for the last season, it's all set up nicely... very nicely.

Yeah I also don't know what to say. And I don't want to spoil anyone.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Thursday, 12 October 2006 11:31 (seventeen years ago) link

were the last few eps you got .rm files? not really into watching it on realplayer

― am0n (am0n), Thursday, 12 October 2006 12:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Are eps 10 and 11 still mistakenly ID'd on torrent sites? i don't wanna get crossed up

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 12 October 2006 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I finished up at three in the morning and couldn't sleep afterwards. Fuck a impulse control and all, but I have no regrets. Aren't they supposedly either combining episodes 9 + 10 or adding a bunch of new footage to ep. 10 or something?

xxpost - yeah, the .rm rips were really low quality, but at that point it hardly mattered. That said, the Divx torrent of ep. 13 I downloaded had the LAST 20 MINUTES CUT OFF.

― govern yourself accordingly (dayan), Thursday, 12 October 2006 12:10 (seventeen years ago) link

The only Ep 10 out is the nigh-unwatchable .rm version. I just got Ep 11, but I'm holding off to see if 10 pops up soon.

This seasons just becomes FUCKING EPIC at Ep9, doesn't it? All those weeks building and building and maybe a little slow and then whoa. Best season since the first.

― milo z (mlp), Friday, 13 October 2006 03:20 (seventeen years ago) link

is this some kind of precendent, whole season leaking before it's even aired?

― am0n (am0n), Friday, 13 October 2006 03:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm wondering who's going to get fired. I've only seen two screener IDs, so there can't be a long list of people responsible.

― milo z (mlp), Friday, 13 October 2006 03:35 (seventeen years ago) link

home taping is killing serial drama

― shabba ranks (dubplatestyle), Friday, 13 October 2006 04:08 (seventeen years ago) link

It sucks that this thread is now way way ahead of the broadcasts.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Friday, 13 October 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I am afraid to view it even though I'm two episodes ahead of the broadcasts!

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 13 October 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

10 and 12 are totally watchable. i mean, not very good quality, but watchable. 13 on the other hand has a very noticeable audio sync problem.

having seen everything, i'm still thinking season 2 is the best, but they all are very unique in amazing ways. this one ... just ... ugh. it's hard to think about.

― lemin (lemin), Friday, 13 October 2006 22:21 (seventeen years ago) link

2 >>> 4 >>> 1 >>> 3

!!!!

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Friday, 13 October 2006 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

2 = 3 > 1

Not ready to judge 4 yet.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 13 October 2006 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

That's just personal preference, like. I mean, they're like chapters of a novel. A really fucking good novel. That is on telly.

I love this show.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Friday, 13 October 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just looking at the cast page on the hbo site and was blown away by how many characters they have listed, but also how many characters that I know and love who didn't make the website cut. This show has got to have the most regular cast members of any show in history. Am I wrong?

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 13 October 2006 23:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, the actress who plays Snoop has the same name as her character, which leads me to believe that she isn't acting.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Saturday, 14 October 2006 00:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw an interview with Felicia Pearson (it's on the HBO video podcast page), she said she got lucked up at fourteen (for something unnamed) and only got out at 20.
