It's funny, rewatching the series I noticed that almost everything that Rawls says involve homosexual or anal sex! So the very brief shot of him in a gay bar shouldn't have been so surprising actually.
Remember when I couldn't recall the character's name and I told you "the one who is gay" and you were so puzzled? For eveybody the gay character in The Wire would have been Omar, but for me it was Rawls!
I liked all seasons of The Wire (though S4 was my favourite by a long long way). I think I'm in a bigger minority because the thing I liked most about S2 was Ziggy's story and most fans seem to name Ziggy as their reason for disliking S2. Ziggy and his duck and his bobble hat and his going postal really moved me. I found Nick really boring and he put me off the docks story a lot. But Ziggy and the actor who played him just mesmerized me.
Omar testifying against Bird is one of the all time best Wire scenes. I also love the scene where Bodie visits the florist to get funeral flowers for D'Angelo.
Season 4 seems to be everyone's favourite! Not sure it's mine, though. I need to rewatch it.
As nephews go, D'Angelo was much more touching than Nick, but I really love Franck Sobotka. The duck thing made me want to slap Ziggy in the face! But as a metaphor it was perfect, since Ziggy was the odd duck among the dockers and couldn't fly away.
