I love today.

- Church: Final choir performance of the spring season--Worthy to be Praised; that's not us, but you get the idea--followed by much-needed-by-me sermon on God's relating to me having nothing to do with how well I follow the rules of religion.

I LOVED D'Angelo and Wallace

UGH, WALLACE. I loved him so much.

You?

Disclaimer: Really, I love everybody. But.

My two favorites, I think, are Bubbles and Prez. I love Bubbles because he's such a good-hearted and decent guy, and because if his circumstances were just a little different, he could so easily get clean. I love Prez because he's basically a dumbass who finds what he loves--basically, he's a nerd. (That said, you'll see things change for Prez a little ways down the road--and that's all I'll say.)

But then I love Bunk, and I love Omar (especially in court), and I love Dennis, and I love Jimmy, and I love Beaddie (whose name I also don't know how to spell), and I loved Nicky, and I hated Zig but I loved his duck. I also love a character in season four, Duquan, but I can see already that he's going to cause me pain. This can only end in tears.

(Also, re: Prez, I think a large part of what The Wire does well is making great characters out of people who are actually total dumbasses: Prez, but also Jimmy and occasionally Bunk, and Herc and sometimes Carver, and Bodie and Ziggy. And more. It's a long list.)

(Oh! And also: there's a moment early in season four where Daniels does a spot-on impression of Lester Freamon, and it is the greatest thing of all time. HILARIOUS. Only I won't tell you the context, because I don't remember when the set-up for it happens.)

BUBBLES! How did I forget to mention him? He was my first favorite, after a few episodes of watching. I LOVE Bubbles, and felt so bad for him at the end of season 1, waiting for Kimma, and then getting beat up, and then, not knowing what else to do, falling off the wagon. And then telling Jimmy not to tell Kimma. Oh....

Omar in court is like, the best thing ever. My favorite line of the show so far is from Omar: "I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase. It's all in the game, right?" Awesome for many reasons. Also: I HATE the lawyer so much. And um...who is Dennis?

I liked Nicky ok, but actually did really love Ziggy, just because, he's that guy you know, who always fucks up. And the guy playing him did a great job. And I didn't love Frank, but what a great character, just generally, the whoever played HIM is also awesome.

And um...who is Dennis?

Dennis! If you haven't met him, you will soon--I thought maybe he arrived in late S2, but it must be at the beginning of S3. He's a guy Avon meets in prison. The End.
