Sorry to grave dig, but that episode was one of the most depressing episodes I've seen.
-_-
Sorry just finished Season 4 recently too. Gotta love HBO Go.
For the record, I liked Season 2 - it puts everything into perspective for Season 4/5.
EDIT: EEEK at the chess reference to season 1. Wow

Season 2 was tight. It really gets in depth about the American city which is in a way what The Wire is all about. It shows the Unions, politicians, government workers, etc. together. It also shows the dirt goes down and how many people actually look the other way.
Only thing I didn't like about Season 2 was Ziggy, what a %@!%$$% moron.
As for the Wallace death, it was hard to watch but in honestly I hated to see Bodie die even more. The scence with Bodie and McNulty in the park showed how much Bodie evolved throughout the course of the show. Bodie even stated he did some %!@!, but nothing like Marlo was doing. The thing is, Stringer asked Bodie to kill Wallace. CHAIN OF COMMAND, what the show is all about. If Bodie didn't do it, he would have got it. Kill or be killed, that's the street mentality, friends or not friends, it's business.
Bodie and McNulty were talking and you knew Bodie was changing. He knew a lot of the %!@! in the past was bad but he had to live with it. You gotta remember Barksdale's crew would drop bodies, but only when absolutely necessary (The maintenance worker who was testifying and a few others). Snoop and Chris were droppin' people just for the hell of it, that's not how the Barksdales ran and Bodie new the organization was not to be run like that. What's even crazier is Bodie stood up for himself. He could have ran, but he knew that his time was going to come. Karma indeed caught up to him, but atleast he recognized how the game needed to be changed, and maybe it was him taking a fall that would change it. (leading McNulty back into Major Crimes).
That's just my two sense.

This. Wallace's death did touch me a little. I mean those were his boys and the fact that it happened in his own house.

I was late to the party. I drank the KoolAid about everybody here on NT hyping this show. Simmons and Whitlock doing podcasts on it...
Watched Season 1 on Netflix as soon as I could. I was watching a disc a night.
My eyes had opened up. This was great televsion.
Season 1, in my eyes, was one of the greatest season of any tv show in history.
With much anticipation I got season 2. popped in the disc and.....
This thing sucks balls. Hairy, donkey balls dude.
Greatest drop off of any show from the 1st to 2nd season.
Does it get better? I'm only like 1/2 way through season 2 and it's almost unwatchable...

The wire season 4 finale may be my favorite episode of a television show ever. they executed the closing montage PERFECTLY. then you see namond looking towards the old 'hood as the wind chimes are clinging and it fades out...unreal television.
and smh @ badmouthing season 2. my personal favorite season. definately better he second time around. i don't think any season tells the demise of characters better than the 2nd.

Plus storywise it was important to show how the drugs came in and the bigger players involved.
The overall series would suffer a lot without season 2.

Once you get through the last three seasons, you'll understand the brilliance of Season 2. As I've always said, Season 4 was far and away the best season, but Season 2 is the most important. Few people I know liked Season 2 the first time around, but once everyone realized Simon's ultimate storytelling vision as later seasons unfolded, it became clear how important it was.
