Stupid CW promo monkeys! I am never spoiled, so here the promo monkeys made me think last night's episode would be all angsty and stuff when it really wasn't. Far from it. I also thought this week's was much better than last week's.

The Wire Season 4 comes to DVD next week, and once again I've whipped up another review for Big Dot Com.

All three of you on my Flist that watch the show with me can read it behind the cut.

( Readin', writin', and red tops )

Oh, show. How I love you and shall mourn your passing once Season 5 is over.
