Oh, even if it felt off I think Mr. Irish's flashing smile would be even more than enough to make me keep up. And well, I won't be the one complaining about his accent. He's the only one that I understand almost completely.

Let's really hope to pull someone else! That's such a good show, thank you so much for all that promoting because it totally worked.

God I wish I could be like her too. She's just great.

*sniffs over Wallace again* God he just was too good for that. Clearly it was the only one I really liked from that side of the fence. That was just so painful.

. Even though he is an unlikely candidate, to me he is the audience's perspective, a regular guy fallen through the cracks, up against a city who just doesn't care. It must be fun to see Earle in his role!

Yes, yes and yes. Exactly what I think completely appeals me about him/them. And God, Earle makes me ridiculously amused. I shouldn't because it's a serious role but I can't help that.

God I'll get ready for S4 then. Maybe I'll write an eulogy to Margo Shephard after, I still have to make up to her for how badly I treater her the only time I mentioned her.

Rawls makes my head hurt and I kind of want to smack him most times but he'd better pull out that trick more often than not.

he is the most moral character but also the most by the books and that doesn't always add up.

Yes, that exactly. But he's a compelling one and I think I dig him at least. And uh, the fuck-me eyes, I hear you. *gush*

The lawyer clearly needs to be fed to the smoke monster ASAP. Or the Dharma Shark, since Smokey is unreliable.

Omar is the Sayid of the show in terms on totalling pwning everyone he comes in contact with.

YES, OH YES EXACTLY. I was trying to put it into a sentence but that about sums it all. He's great. Just, some of the best character conceptions on there and that I've found.

LOL I can't wait to hear the pearls of wisdom made in Bunk. I think I was totally cracking up at the mouse tale, which was kinda in the first episodes I saw but I forgot to mention it at the first round. I totally wanted to slap Prez after episode 3 but he really grows on you.

Carver and Herc continue to please as the Odd Couple.

So it isn't so odd that I've actually almost slashed them once or twice? Because they're totally the Odd Couple but they're just too good.

So true. They actually have the slashiest conversation ever very soon.

My favourite critic is a huge Wire fan and is going back to review each episode starting with season one and he has two entries, one for people who have seen it all and one for newbies who won't be spoiled. Plus he has great Lost reviews too.

Thanks for heading me there! The review is great and I think I'm more or less on his same lines. I read also the Lost review and I think I pretty much agree with everything he said.
