2023-06-16 09:38:47 +0000 UTCI've Always Been Consistently On My 🖕🏾Omar Little and his Crew campaign but Butchie didn't deserve to be left in the midst of the wolves like that. Trying to keep up with the number of Crew Members that Omar has gotten killed over the years is a task all in its own. I don't feel sorry for Omar because he been messing with killers and daring them to do something to him since Season 1 and everytime the people he steals from retaliates, Omar seems to lose a valued member of his crew. With that being said, advising Omar to sell the Co-Op back the Product he stole for 20 on the dollar which led to Omar pretty much taunting them... ain't so funny now tho, is it. Unfortunately there are always fatal casualties when playing in these war games. 🖕🏾Cheese Wagstaff Butchie stood TALL for Omar tho. in the words of Chris Partlow, "You A Tough Old Man" RIP Butchie #TellemTANKseddit #TANKTheTVandMovieMaven #IETVandMovieTalk #WeJustTalkingTVandMOVIES

2023-06-16 09:37:42 +0000 UTCYou raised a good point, "is there a better way to go about it?" no, there isn't. They system is fucked and no amount of good intentions can unfuck it. But the healthy response is obviously to let that shit go, but McNulty had already relapsed by joining back up instead of staying where he was. Which sucks, because he only relapsed because it really looked like he was going to be able to do his damn job for once.

2023-06-09 21:04:50 +0000 UTCIf it hasn't been mentioned before, the creator David Simon worked for many years as a journalist at the Baltimore Sun to start out his career, so (like other parts of the show) there's a lot of accuracy in the details shown surrounding the newsroom, not even just how things are run but how they talk to each other (for example, the little nerdy discussions about word meanings). In this show, the media is yet another 'institution' along with the police department, schools, city government, drug trade, etc etc where you have the players on the top just looking out for themselves, trying to hold on the crown, others with ambition looking to rise and taking shortcuts, the pawns who actually do good, honest work but get used and ran over, and the consumers or citizens at the end of the chain who are the ones that suffer.

2023-06-08 19:32:55 +0000 UTCI mean, Avon and String could blame Prop Joe as much as they want, but ultimately it was their own fault that they lost their original connect. Little Man went out of pocket by shooting Kima, Avon put his nephew unprotected to pick up the raw. They made more mistake but those two in particulair is what got Avon in jail and lost the trust of the people they were getting their shit from.

2023-06-08 17:54:03 +0000 UTCThing is, I feel like time has been kind to season 5. Think of all the crazy shit that’s happened in real life between 2008 and now. You’re telling me if you read a couple city detectives faked a serial killer to get additional funding that you’d throw your paper down and not believe it, or say “Huh, crazy” and turn the page?

2023-06-08 17:44:44 +0000 UTCI'm 100% ACAB, but I'm not mad at McNulty. I also don't think it's out of character for Lester. Keep in mind he scolded Jimmy and Kima when they continued to work on Barksdale, but in the end he latched on to that investigation along with Presbo. Marlow is Lester's Moby Dick.

2023-06-08 10:42:39 +0000 UTCavon will always look at prop joe as the enemy cuz the division of him and stringer started all the way back when prop joe got stringer to suck on his tit for the greeks good dope. he knew avon wouldnt let go of any towers because hes real. Stringer was acting like sonny, hot for solozzos deal. Every step of the way, prop joe benefited from a fractured barksdale command. i think avon is seeing it very clearly now

2023-06-08 09:25:15 +0000 UTCIn terms of common complaints about Season 5, I think the main ones would be that the serial killer plot just seems crazy and the newspaper plot is boring. To me, I can see where Formal is coming from about it being in Jimmy's character to create the serial killer, he's an impulsive alcoholic for 90 percent of the show. Lester having any part of it took me out, though. Same dude who was telling Jimmy to get a life in season 3, now seriously considering this dumb shit. Come on, bruh. Newspaper plot is alright I guess, but it doesn't move me, lot of older characters I rather see than them. This show has so many pieces already, dunno if we needed new ones in a shortened season. I rock with most of the episodes, though, lol. This was a good one, imo. Six Flags is in Bowie in PG County, DC Suburbs, not too far from the Commanders Stadium. It's like 45 minutes to 2 hours outside of Bmore depending on traffic, lol.

2023-06-08 05:09:18 +0000 UTCThis is the irony of S5. The Wire had been getting low ratings and low buzz. Post 9/11 no one was trying to watch a realistic show about crime and inner city life. David Simon had originally planned for 6 seasons but HBO would only give him 5 and 10 episodes for the final season. This is the only season without that slow burn character development, the subtle things. This is their attempt to "sensationalize" the show to be more like the popular shows at the time. This is the entire theme of Season 5, which is why I think down the line more people will see how brilliant it actually is. We see what the ramifications are when people embellish the truth in our media today. Everything has to be click bait or a crazy story to get people to care and look at it. The truth is, people are out here suffering everyday and no one cares. While Season 5 in my opinion is the weakest season of the show (I just like the other 4 more) it's still better than 95% of what's out there.

2023-06-08 03:00:36 +0000 UTCI would be down to watch a whole episode of Marlo at the airport traveling to the Islands: Marlo at the x-ray, Marlo standing around boarding the plane, Marlo deciding what movie to watch, Marlo waiting at the baggage claim. I've seriously thought about this for YEARS
