also not thrilled w Brother Mouzone as a character, he seems really contrived and like deliberately engineered to be a fan favorite but in a heavy handed improbable way. He's, like, a favorite character for people who loved Boondock Saints.

i've made it to season five and last night i had the idea that it would be cool if ilx people made an online album that was versions of "way down in the hole" for non-existent seasons of The Wire. what would the season 11 version sound like in 2014? they wouldn't have to be good either in keeping with most of the actual versions. i got really good at fast-forwarding through that tom waits one. ugh.
okay, maybe its a dumb idea with limited appeal.
i have really enjoyed watching the show.

Isn't the Tom Waits the original? Not that that would make it better (though it is the best)
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 19 April 2018 20:07 (six years ago) link
TW's is the original.

"way down in the hole" is good

I'll do a plaintive acoustic falsetto auto-tune version, for the season dealing with gentrification.

finished watching season 5. that part where the newspaper guy asks which story to run and they don't run a story on omar dying is so sad for some reason. and then michael and dukie turning into omar and bubbles...that last episode is a good example of how to do a last episode.
― scott seward, Monday, 23 April 2018 23:29 (six years ago) link
I just read that Wire oral history book. Apparently HBO didn't give Simon the full 13-episode run for Season 5, so he had to condense the storyline, which is probably why some people find it unsatisfying. Some minor characters (the female reporter, for instance, who happens to be married to Deangelo Barksdale in real life) were going to be fleshed out more, but no time. Also, the dude reporter who was angling for a Pulitzer was going to have a crisis of conscience, but that storyline had to be chopped.
The actor kid who iced Omar was pretty traumatized by that scene.
