Yes, I have more articles about The Wire. I'm really enjoying all of the coverage of it!
David Simon's finale letter to the fans. Interesting, a little provoking, and gives only broad spoilers, nothing specific.
EW Picks Their Top 15 Most Brilliant Wire Moments (spoilers, natch)
I attempted to do the same myself and basically found it impossible!
Interview with one of the actors from the final episode (that's vague for spoiler reasons). Notable mostly for the pictures and comments about people making their final speeches on the set. Aww.
Shot-by-shot commentary on the finale's final montage. Neat, though a little snarky for my taste. :)
Also, I never talked about the Charlie Jade finale. Oops. I don't remember it in detail, so I'll go down the points I'd left myself as notes and see if I can remember what I meant.
- 01's imprisonment: I...don't remember this at all. Oh wait, that's right, Charlie came to see him and he was all crazy and hilariously 01-ish.
- Essa's imprisonment: Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.
- Sew Sew + Jasmine: I really like them together. The show worked that in pretty well, and I think they fit each other.
- My excitement at seeing Karl again (never got a reunion scene with him and Charlie!): I was VERY happy to see Karl again, though I would've liked to see him and Charlie seeing each other again, especially since Karl likely thought Charlie was dead.
- Reena + Karl OTP!! I don't have much to add to that. I would read a LOT of fic about Reena and Karl in Gammaverse though. I mean, they are super-awesome crimefighters who would help each other and be equal partners and bring down corporations together.
- Countdown of the link: That added great tension in the last episode.
- Confusingness of the way 1x20 was structured: I really need to watch it again, now that I know what to expect, because I really was baffled by quite a lot of of what went on.
- The final scene: I don't even know, man. I'm still left with the idea that each of the verses is a product of 01 and Charlie's (and all the other people in the beds) minds, but that kind of doesn't make sense. I really wish the show was getting a second season. Seriously: where is the fic for this show? *shakes the Internets*
- The stuff in the fourth-verse: Neat! I loved the starkness of the shots, the dream-quality of it all, and the way the coloring changed. Speaking of coloring changes...
- The coloring coming back to normal in betaverse (was adding reds to it's blues all throughout until it hit normal): I LOVED THAT SO MUCH. What a very cool way to show us the universes slowly starting to come together. The use of color on this show was fantastic. Color and light. Makes me salivate as a vidder.
- Charlie's sacrifice: Oh Charlie. ILU.
- Why did 01 go through with the link? I still don't have an answer for that one. Any theories? Definitive reasons?
- Theory: 01 & Charlie as brothers. I've been thinking that for the last half of the season, really. They do look kind of similiar, and it would explain why they were the only ones who could force their way through the universes.
- Reena's awesomeness: dampened by all the things that happened to her, but never entirely gone. I like that she was a more active part of what went on in the final episodes, and now imagine her kicking ass and taking names in Gammaverse.
So, yeah, really neat show which I really enjoyed and now want to read fic about. I recommend it, if you don't mind being a little befuddled by the ending. *g*
I would talk more about my life if the most interesting thing I'd done yesterday wasn't find Peppermint Penis-Shaped Mints on the web. Although tomorrow is the Ladysmith Black Mambazo concert, which I am very excited about!
