the wire - where I actually finished and I ramble about S3/4/5
You know when I said I got dvds and I was planning to catch up like four years after I started watching this show? Yeah. Right. It happened that I finished three seasons in a week. Various probably not coherent rambling under the cut, though if I had to sum it up in one word, that'd probably be flawless. Even if I think I'm emotionally broken.

S1 and s3 are my favourites, all told, because at the end of the day it is ALL. ABOUT. STRINGER. BELL. I loved how he got colder & scarier, his rivalry with Avon ramped up so much, but at the same time he had all the 'legitimate businessman' stuff going on, and you knew that shit just couldn't hold, something had to fall apart, and ARGH, how they did it was incredible.
OMAR, OMAR where to start?? Him kicking Maurice Levy's ass in court in s2 is one of my all-time favourite TV moments, seriously. "I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase..." ZAP! POW!
Bodie's death was one of the saddest moments of the series for me. I loved that little conversation he had with McNulty, and then ARGH MY HEART. Even worse than Wallace: is it awful that that scene made me feel bad for Bodie as well as Wallace?? Just how he was talking himself into it, trying to make himself angry at Wallace so it'd be easier to do it... Perfect, in a harrowing kind of way.
Carver. Yum. That is all.
McNulty drove me SPARE in the later series, but it was so inevitable he'd start to fuck things up again once it seemed he was settled down. I saw Dominic West play Iago on stage last year, with Clarke Peters as Othello, and they were both incredible, such easy confidence and presence. They work really well together. I loved how Freamon developed as a character too.
Ok I could SQUEEE all night but I've taken up enough of your comments box. THIS POST MADE ME HAPPY.

.. I KNOW. STRINGER. STRIIINGEEER <33333 I LIKED HIM A LOT, OKAY. And I loved how they played his relationship with Avon throughout the entire thing - and okay, guy was a ruthless drug dealer etcetera but I just really wanted him to become legitimate. Yeah, well, wasn't meant to be, though I was pissed that *Marlo* did it when he didn't even care. *glares* ... STRINGER. DDDDDD:

AMEN. Omar is my favorite ever, the end. ;)
Uuuugh I remember feeling horrible for everyone involved in Wallace's murder back when I watched S1 some ages ago, because I mean they're KIDS and seeing them all in that situation made me want to cry, but yeah, when Bodie bit it I just - I COULDN'T DEAL. I knew there was no hope that he'd make it through the end but - ;_____; I liked that kid, dammit.
Word forever about Carver. Carver was flawless. CARVER WAS EVERYTHING AWESOME.
Lol McNulty *did* drive me insane, but I mean, I knew what to expect from the guy. He naturally fucks things up. But I mean, I apparently have a thing with guys that are a) asses, b) have a good sense of humor, c) look ridiculously charming, d) fuck shit up see voice Jaime Lannister I just LIKE him, damn his face.

Jsyk, I envy you so hard right now. Oh my I'd totally pay a lot to see that *_________*
Oh, squeeing about this show is awesome stuff. ;) <3 (and word on Freamon. Freamon was Awesome with capital A. <3)
