Like this character introduction right here.

Bringing this back from the dead but I've been rewatching this with a buddy of mine. Notice a lot more stuff the second time through. The scene where Slim Charles rolls past the corner to tell Bodie about Lil Kevin is fantastic. Poot leaves, then slim rolls out and the camera just pans backwards showing Bodie all alone at his corner. Fuck I love this show.

[amardeep]

I seriously thought Slim Charles was Clipse until I looked him up online.

[DüM]

Clipse is two people

[amardeep]

Yeah but they look alike and I don't know their names

also, one of my favorite scenes

[sybaritical]

Remember that scene shook me up for days. I posted about it here!

Was like losing a good friend.

I've been re-watching the series and sizing shit up as i go along. The biggest discovery is realized how overrated Season 3 is. It's crazy b/c there's so much major shit that happens with the storyline (rise of Carchetti, death of Stringer/Barksdale crew, rise of Marlo, Hamsterdam, BPD Ops shake up, lotta crazy shit) but the season still feels kinda dull.

Season 2 established itself as the best of the series, bar none.

Top 5 line of the series that I didnt pick up the first go-round... Bunk referring to Landsman as a "John Goodman off his diet lookin mothafucka"

[evisu 2000]

agree wholeheartedly 2 is the best and 3 is overrated

[shea butter]

season two fucking sucked.

the shipping containers one?

yea fucking sucked.

[evisu 2000]

you suck

[amardeep]

Bodie was probably my favorite character after everything was over.

some caps i made

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

I need to rewatch but I recall thinking that 2 dragged on, but was crucial down the line in setting up key relationships and giving you a larger understanding. But how anyone can not think that season 4 is the best is beyond me...

season two fucking sucked.

the shipping containers one?

yea fucking sucked.

son....

btw, chill w/ bodie being top 5. bunk, colvin, prop joe, omar, 5th is debatable (sabotka, string, normal wilson, landsman, lester?)

[amardeep]

ok fine everyone was great

my favorites were bunk, omar, prop joe, lester, bodie, cutty, brother moves on (apparently its brother mouzone), weebay, D, dukie, etc. etc. etc. i could go on for days

landsman and sabotka aren't even close though

[evisu 2000]

herc and bodie are my favorites

[shea butter]

Im so over the wire. Was pissed when peeps out of thin air were all deep fans all of a sudden. If more people watched (which they didnt until it was too late) there would have been more then 4 seasons.

[DüM]

I watched this doc on avon barksdale.

the doc was fucking horrible, but dude is mad invincible. He only has one leg and he's been shot maaad times.

It was also cool seeing pretty much everybody again when I watched through Oz.

[M4TM]

a buddy just lent me the entire series dvd boxset. plan to rewatch that asap. goodbye social life.

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

Yo I agree. Season 2 was complete shit. Didn't enjoy it at all.

Ziggy was the worst character of all time. And the change of setting really threw things off for me.

-F2D

[evisu 2000]

yeah but you're a crab. also you forgot to sign your post.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

season 2 had the best drama, some depressing stuff; whereas season 3 had the fireworks. Sseason 4 is my favourite probably, in view of the entire run.

The final season was downright ridiculous.

[fatchino]

The montage at the end of Season 2 was great.

Frank Sobotka was an absolute hero.

This shit is gospel right here.

That's just complete bullshit. The brevity of the show adds to its impact, and David Simon knew that. He understood when penning out the series that he'd have 5 season's to work with highlighting the different facets of the American city (drug trade, death of blue collar workers, political reform, public education, media). The popularity of the show had nothing to do with its demise, it was David Simon staying true to his game and not wanting to stretch the stories thin by doing 7 or 8 seasons.

^Nothin could be worse than such a great show jumping the shark.

[mpcec]

Simon said the reason they didn't do a 6th season is because the only new storyline he could think of was about the hispanics in baltimore and he didn't feel comfortable writing that. Had no one on his team with good experience or knowledge on the subject so he ended it.
