A personal message to the writers of The Wire [Spoilers inside]

[zero 0123]

This scene had me DYING on the floor

  True True FALSE.


GREAT Series. I can't believe I slept on it for so long...

 

[celticsfan9783]

my buddy used to swear by the show Prison Break and how it was probably better than the Wire (he had never seen an episode). Finally got him to watch the Wire. Dude ended up getting a free netflix sub just to watch seasons 1-3. When his subscription ran out, he got a free subscription to Blockbuster mail to finish it off.

I was pretty shocked to see that happened, one of the first of many characters that you hoped to see develop/change then get off'd the next episode. 

Like someone mentioned earlier, you gotta appreciate the writers doing that solely for the story and we get a much better appreciation for the show.

D HAD to be killed. He was so damn sloppy at every turn. The police were able to handle him with ease. Im surprised Avon didnt see it, and find a way to eliminate him without killing him much earlier on. I guess D's mom wouldve never let that go down, but I was still shocked.

One of the funniest lines ever.

Season 4. The bodies are pulled out of the vacants, Chris and Snoop get pulled over (cops are searching for the nail gun) that they used to board up the houses with. Anyways, Chris and Snoop are handcuffed sitting on the curb while Kima and Freamon search the truck. Bunk is standing over Chris and Snoop, smoking a cigar:

Snoop- "You think you all that for hasseling n---'s and s--t".

Bunk (puffing on cigar) - "I KNOW I'm all that. I'm thinking bout some pus-y".

Snoop - "Yeah. Me too".

The randomness of his death, and the aftermath (in the morgue), is what made the show so great. In the grand scheme, he wasn't significant. The audience (and the street characters, to a certain extent) deified him. But he wasn't anything special in reality.

i didnt understand what happened in the morgue...what was that about?

This....

The mortician switched the name cards, but what significance does that have?

to me, that was a way of signifying what dmb said.. on the corner, just saying the name "Omar" had little kids and drug dealers running scared. but that scene showed that in the outside world, Omar's name had so little significance that the mortician accidentally mixed him up with some random white dude. people on the street glorified Omar, but in the grand scheme of things he only mattered within that little bubble. 

The Wire wouldn't be what it was without scenes like that. the audience was beginning to glorify Omar in their heads over the past 5 seasons, but the writers reminded us to keep it real. Omar was just some hoodlum who left a minimal mark on society and got shot.
