Season 3 starts next Sunday on Directv 101. I'm not a big fan of this season due to the ridiculousness awesomeness of Hamsterdam, but am still looking forward to watching it again.

That might be fixed in your mind but not in mine. I'm sorry, that's just not happening on that scale. It wouldn't make it 2 weeks (if that) before it all fell apart. It's a cool idea but it's just not realistic and that's what I expected from the show.

I cant recall exactly, but do they ever really give a timeline in The Wire?? For all we know,it only lasted a week or 2, its just that a lot of #### went down in that couple of weeks

 

[Raider Nation]

Pretty cool. I can't picture "Daniels" as Bubbles.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

good stuff! actually i can picture that. i have been rewatching oz. i forgot damn near half the cast was on oz. Daniels plays a undercover cop who gets hooked to dope.

 

[Raider Nation]

Yeah, he got pushed down the elevator chute or something.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I could never see Carver as Stringer Bell...Thank god for Idris Elba

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

UPS guy just brought the box set to my front door.

4:3 aspect ratio? WTF!Gotta hope it's released on Blu Ray someday.

don't think this will happen.it's meant to be gritty.EDIT: I see this was already covered

 

[duaneok66]

100 is not enough . . .

what about when Barksdale was lecturing Stringer "I told you about playing those (expletive) away games!!!"

that line is (easily) in my top ten . . .

I loved The Wire reference in this trailer (2:00). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGILH1JD5eA

"I do a pretty convincing Omar from the HBO program The Wire".

:rofl:

 

[Raider Nation]

String was my favorite character. The man was just cool. I liked the line just before he banged D'Angelo's girlfriend.

[she hands him one of D's shirts]

Stringer: "I'm an XL."

Donette: "No doubt."



2:00 mark of this clip

[Raider Nation]

Think Avon would have given up Stringer if he didn't admit to having D'Angelo clipped?

In other words, was sending Omar after Brother Mouzone enough of a betrayal on its own, or did the D'Angelo situation seal his fate?

I think it was D'Angelo that sealed his fate.

Pretty much. I am flying through every season again... it's the only reason I notice little things like this. He must have spent a lot of time in the bathroom.

Just saw the most amazing episode since I started watching on Directv channel 101. It was the 6th episode of season 3. Tensions between Stringer and Avon percolating with Avon wanting his corners back, Cutty deciding the game wasnt for him, the cops trying different strongarm tactics to get the sellers to Hamsterdam, Marlo's willingness to take power, Daniels walking into the office at the end, and the best of all Omar's confrontation with Bunk. My God that was good TV

You are just getting started. I would say that episode is just the beginning to things actually heating up.

The Sopranos would have had a whole season dedicated to this three second event.

I love how Rawls was thumbing through Jay's "Club" magazine (season 4 or 5, I forget) to keep up appearances.

I think the 4th season is the best overall season, but episode 11 of season 3 is my favorite episode of the entire series.

It was a fantastic episode, but if we started discussing all the eopisodes, my reply would be redundant . . .

 

[Cavalier]

Just finished season 3. I got the box set less than 2 weeks ago. There are some great characters in this series. Can wait to start season 4 tonight. This series definately lived up to the hype. I found the first few episodes of of season 1 slow but they had to lay foundation which ends makes everything better in the long run.

Just finished season 4, was the final season on par with the rest?

Pissed to see Bodie offed.

Season 5 is generally regarded as not as good most of the others.

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I've been rewatching Season 5 lately. I didn't like it when it first came out and still don't overall, but it does have some great moments.

I'm not necessarily putting it down. I would still suggest that you continue with it. The Marlo saga continues, so there's definitely some merit in trying to watch it soon after.

 

[The Noid]

There are many reasons why S5 isn't one of the best (shortened season, McNulty, etc.) but there are many good things about it from the standpoint of what it does to continue, and wrap up, the story.

Snoop keepin it real:

'The Wire' actress arrested in drug raid

By The Baltimore Sun

Felicia Pearson poses in Baltimore. (Marvin Joseph/Post)

More than 30 people, including the actress known as "Snoop" from the Baltimore-based HBO series "The Wire," were arrested Thursday morning across the city and its surrounding counties in connection with a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation.

Raids were carried out in the pre-dawn hours by agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore police and a slew of other federal and state law enforcement agencies.

Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, known for her drug-assassin character on "The Wire," was taken into custody at a downtown apartment on a state warrant, officials said.

The actress has a troubled past, having been convicted at age 14 of second-degree murder. More recently, she refused to testify as a witness at a murder trial and was arrested at her then-Northeast Baltimore home.

The arrests are part of a five-month drug investigation, officials said.

Yep, I often try to emulate his coolness/smoothness but I can't pull it off. I'm too pale.

Middle of season 4 right now. Loving this classroom stuff. Reminds me of Dangerous Minds

 

[The_Man]

Just finished S3Fuuuuuuuuuckn epic scene with Avon and Stringer on the terrace overlooking the harbor.

Absolutely Shakespearean in its emotions of love, shared struggle, and betrayal. That and the final sequence of the final episode are the two greatest moments of The Wire for me.

 

[jamny]

After watching Season 3 for the second time I realize that my hatred of the Hamsterdam storyline overshadowed what was a brilliant season. I've moved the season up in rankings: 4-1-3-2-5

Can't wait to go through Season 4 again. IMO the best single season of TV ever.

 

[Harry Manback]

I'm so sad that this is over, and angry that there isn't a 6th season.

Although I did like how Syndor = new McNulty as he spills the beans to judge Phelan, then asks for his name to be left out of it, ya right!

I also like how dukie is basically the new bubbles, and Michael is the new Omar.

Just would have loved to see more.

 

[shadyridr]

Just finished season 4. Woah. I think I still liked season 3 slightly better. Is season 5 even worth it?
