Isn't there a handyman or super or somebody hanging around in that scene, watching them piece everything together? It would have been great if it were him who got in the last word.

Okay, I knew he was going to be back in plainclothes, but...

yeah, i just finished season 2 so i can't read this thread like at all

You are going to shit yourself at Brother Mouzone's sex change.

I just watched the first disc of season 3 last night. If you haven't gotten to this point I am about to do some

I kinda sensed the body language b/w Daniels & Pearlman was getting more intimate, but the sudden seduction was a total WTF. I guess Daniels left his wife between seasons? WHAT IS GOING ON

Det. McNulty follows the money trail all the way to a seedy after-hours "toga party" at Power Plant Live. There he learns that the nearby Discovery Zone is literally the "kid-powered museum", operating as a facade for a child-slavery ring.

daniels and his wife were in separate bedrooms at least as early as s02.

from what the actor i met told me, season 5 should be filming right now. but when the hell does season 4 come out on dvd? i can't find that info online anywhere

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, season 5 supposedly starts filming this month, although I haven't heard anything concrete like those signs pointing to the set or cast member sightings yet. if it wasn't so rare that the show needed any white extras I'd look into casting calls (my dad got to be an extra on Homicide a couple times, though. Pembleton's house on the show was almost his house!).

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i didn't meet an actor but it was in the newspaper that s05 was going to start lensing this month or next.

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:49 (seventeen years ago) link

"LENSING" ..!!!

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i write for variety don't you know.

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

it also says in article linked above filming won't finish until end of summer, post-prod. in october. they are doing generation kill simultaneously. s04 dvd will come out, like s03 did, right before the premiere.

― am0n, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

uh that last sentence is my own assumption :/

― am0n, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:10 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, plz to hurry it along hbo!

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i've been watching the wire at least once or twice a week for the past couple months. i'm dying now while waiting for s04 on dvd! what's up with boy marlow!

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Do you really want to know?

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

not yet :(

Snoop story

― daria-g, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Hah! A couple friends of mine have noticed the similarites between Khalid Shayk Mohammed and Weebay, too.

― Oilyrags, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i just finished season 4 and was practically hiding under the pillow by the end of the last episode. i love this show, but there's something almost masochistic about watching it. the wonderful performances from the kids really twisted the knife in.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

haha while reading that khalid story, the image of wee bey munching on chips, muttering, "oh yeah, and i killed him too" was the first thing that came to mind

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

speaking of which, i missed wee bey and dee in season 3. they were so much more interesting than the new guys!

― modestmickey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i think i've said this before, but the "street" parts of season 4 were like a horror movie in many respects.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

good point. right down to the zombie/vacant house thing and the fact that the romantic subplot (cutty and the nurse) was completely tacked on.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Seriously, Dee was my DUDE!

xxxpost!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't read this thread, because I've only just got to season one episode five

Me too, exactly the same place. Does it stay good through season 2 +?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

it gets BETTER. season 2 is sort of a "low point" but with a series like this that's a compliment. seasons 3+4 (especially 4) are every bit the equal of season 1.

― max, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link

i think 3 & 4 are better than 1.

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I think season 4's a little overrated but 3's probably my favorite.

Last week I got to talk on the phone with Blake, the music supervisor for the show, and had to resist trying to ask a bunch of questions about season 5 (which he probably wouldn't have been able to answer anyway since I assume he does most of his work in post-production).

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

did you ask him who's doing the theme for season 5?

― max, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

no :(

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

there's a tom waits version of the theme song floating around somewhere i think. hmm.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

that was season 2, wasn't it?

― lauren, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

i must have erased the memory from my mind. i can't stand that dude's style.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah.

That Snoop article is great.

― jeff, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

tom waits wrote the theme song, it's not a tom waits "version"

― cutty, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it's a Tom Waits original, actually... first season was the Blind Boys of Alabama, second was Waits, third was Aaron Neville and the fourth was some schoolkids, as I recall.

― max, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Season 2 is great! You guys are crazy!

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Seriously! I might even venture to say I prefer 2 to 3!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't find the thread where we ranked every single season of the Wire and the Sopranos, but I definitely prefer 2 to 3 now (I think.)

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Season 2 may be my fave.

I found a Polish-language (At least it looks like Polish, but I could be wrong) version of the theme song on slsk.

― C0L1N B..., Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Can anyone find that ranking HBO shows thread? GAH I hate the new search engine.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i love method man: "that shit was unseemly!'

also very happy to see the brief return of kimmie, though for her sake i hope she meant what she said about being retired.
