FYI....The actor that played Chris Partlow was an extra in the courtroom in season 1. He was dressed as a cop.
*Stringer Bell for as smart as he thought he was, was nothing but a pawn as well....If you were to compare some of the characters to chess pieces, how would you do it?

I think Bell was a pawn when he tried to get into the legal game, messing with the politicians...got straight exposed thinking those college courses had him set
Avon, Marlo = Kings, had all the power but were too important to really go out and risk themselves
The Greek = King with Queen moves, cause he could move wherever he wanted and couldnt be touched
Omar = Bishops, never came at you directly, but from angles where you couldnt see him
Chris, Snoop =Knights, you ran into them, that's an automatic "L"

I loved how they brought that scene full circle when Bodie was talking with McNulty. That's what I liked about the Wire as a series and in my opinion what sets it apart from the average cop drama. Very thoughtfully written and always relates to pass events that you have to really pay attention to recognize.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07

Yeah I remember his cameo.
Speaking of Season 5 I'm going to start rewatching it tonight.
I remember that episode from the season when Jimmy was messing around with that dead white homeless body, Bunk's reaction was comedy.
@Pablo: Stringer was definitely a pawn with them politicians, Clay Davis did him dirty.
I can't wait to watch that clip from season 5 again with Clay Davis during his trial. He had that jury eating out of the palm of his hands.
