i haven't seen season 4 so i dont know it
― deej, Monday, 11 June 2007 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm now 5 eps into it, and all I can say is, yannow, ask a friend with pirating skills. It's probably my favorite season, so far.

oh cool, thanks

s4 theme suuuuucked. actually, i like the themes in the exact order they aired (although 1 and 2 are kinda equal to me), so i hope i don't hate the Steve Earle one. I really kicked myself for not asking about or suggesting s5 theme possibilities to the show's music supervisor when I spoke to him briefly a few months ago.
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 11 June 2007 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link
didn't like 4 theme
― RJG, Monday, 11 June 2007 18:30 (sixteen years ago) link
lots anyway
I like all the themes.
I watched When the Levees Broke before the Wire, so I had this huge flash of recognition when someone recently mentioned to me that Bunk was one of the guys interviewed a ton in WtLB (with no mention of his role on the Wire).

Bodie and Stringer and D'Angelo (and Snot Boogie!) bullshitting up in heaven.

has Boondocks ever referenced The Wire (strip or show)?
― milo z, Monday, 11 June 2007 21:42 (sixteen years ago) link
my friend rode the subway with andre royo this morning! he's kind of little (5'4"ish).
― lauren, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link
I ate the same restaurant as Andre Royo and KEITH from Six Feet Under this weekend!
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link
andre is getting around lately.
― lauren, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Apparently the restaurant is co-owned by Royo's wife so all the people there were like "yeah it's Bubbles so what" haha while I'm like sitting there trying to evesdrop on his conversations.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:53 (sixteen years ago) link
According to his myspace page he's 5'8" but I'm not so sure.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha and he sez the restaurant is HIS new restaurant so whatever.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Someone should have invited Adebisi.
― milo z, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 18:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha if Adebisi had been their I would probably have been too nervous to eat.

OK, my mind is so preoccupied with wondering what's going to happen in Season 5 that this comment instantly led me to wonder whether he's been shooting scenes where Bubbles gets clean and experiences the weight gain of a recovering addict.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link
i read an interview w/him where he was all yeah i do sometimes wish they had chosen a different name aka not that cool to have people always yelling bubbles at you from across the street
― jhøshea, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:02 (sixteen years ago) link
well maybe mcnulty doesn't like being called mcnutty either
― cutty, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I named a squirrel that kept looking for food on my patio mcnutty.
― mh, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:08 (sixteen years ago) link
also there was a real bubbles
― jhøshea, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link
I am so excited for Season 5. Season 4 was my favorite season (next to 2, actually) and I hope they don't shift focus totally away from the kids.
― filthy dylan, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link
It seemed like they were setting up Michael to be a major character in future eps, which is too bad, cause I thought he was the least interesting of any of the kids. It's Randy that I really want to see more of.
― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Still watching s4, almost done, but I have to say, Chris killing Michael's stepdad was maybe the most balls-out BRUTAL killing I've ever seen, certainly on television, possibly anywhere. The way Chris gets INTO it. Gives me a shiver.
― kenan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link
isn't there a judy blume book where one of the characters decides they want to be called "bubbles"? (but no one does)
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link
other "bubbles" of note:

anyways - i'm a little over half way through the 4th season and am enjoying it but not even close to how much i enjoyed the 1st and 3rd seasons.
dear season 5: less children, more wires!
― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link
the fourth is really great
― RJG, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 16:41 (sixteen years ago) link
brutal but great
― bnw, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link
the kids are what make season 4 the best!
― max, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I really missed watching The Wire when I was in Japan. Now that I'm back, I'll probably go'n' rent season 3 tomorrow.
― stevienixed, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:14 (sixteen years ago) link
srsly (xp re kids being awesome)
― jeff, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Agreed. They're all such impressive actors, too.
And, as I kinda said earlier, Snoop and Chris are just soooo frightening. I loved the way that the beating Chris delivers calls back to all the times he was all reassuring before killing someone -- "Don't worry, I got you, I'll make it quick" etc. Now we see what happens when he does not got you. Goddamn.
― kenan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
All muscle needs to be crazy, I guess, but Chris is lung-eating crazy.
― kenan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Can't wait until season 4 is on dvd, I have to stop reading this thread now.
― Jordan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link
s4 haters: u mad
― am0n, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link
perhaps. but for me season three felt like the natural conclusion to the whole thing.
― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 18:55 (sixteen years ago) link
not... really. Seeing as how s2 was a digression in its entirety from the Barksdale plot, why would you think the show was just about that one story?
― kenan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:09 (sixteen years ago) link
ok not in its entirety, but in its mostliness.
― kenan, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:15 (sixteen years ago) link
i saw brother mouzone on saturday.
