All of Bubbles scenes in the 5th season I found to be excellent. His storyline was so up and down throughout the course of the show and even though a lot of this season left you with a feeling like things will never change, he was the one (atleast for me) glimmer of hope throughout.

Some of the stand out parts for me were when Bubs trys to give his sister some crabs(?) but she turns him down. It was just so sad to see his constant effort just basically get shit on by her. She definitely had reason to believe the change wouldn't be long term, but I really felt that she wasn't trying to help him. I mean she gave him a place to stay, but in terms of building a bond as brother and sister and trying to provide a support system for him she didn't try at all.

And then I just felt really bitter towards her when she finally let him eat at the table after the story on him was published. It was like she couldn't accept him or believe that he was a good person/ had the will to change unless someone else told her.

I should actually stop coming into this thread as I'll just keep on thinking of scenes to post. This show made me feel a wider array of emotions than any other show I've seen. The feelings the show left you with were beyond the typical suspense and excitement of average tv and they stayed with me for more than just the duration of the episode.

Yeah, it was his anniversary for being sober at the support group and his mentor/big brother bought him dinner…it was a really tumultuous road for him…from writing off the support group to showing up once to losing not one but two of his friends to the hustle.

I watched season 4 13 last night and when ever I thought about it I've been down. I truly can't believe they capped Bodie. Gutted.

Season 5's sitting on my desktop at 73.8%

[Yardsale]

Bodie RIP - I was gutted when I saw that.

Season 5 only just started in the UK, last night in fact so I've only seen episode1, but the scene with Bunk and Lansman and the "lie detector" is possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen on TV.

Will now be avoiding the thread for spoilers!

i'm a LATE bloomer and just started watching. i'm almost finished with the first season (4-5 episodes left).

this might be the best show i've ever seen. are there any season's that are particularly better than others?

[Eccles]

^^You have to think of The Wire as a narrative from start to finish

I think most people would say season 2 was their least favorite/the weakest but it is essential to the whole

glad there's another convert

[Biff15]

...my personal favorite's season 1... just real good dialogue, plot, etc... but every season is definitely worth watching if you want the whole picture...

[slowdownarthur]

Just want to register my love for this show. Only discovered it when I read an article on Snoop in the press. I went out and bought Season 3 (thinking she was in that season mostly).I was hooked from there on in.

Got to stay away from this thread to avoid spoilers...I just saw one about Omar. No!!!!

[pure junkie]

one of the best tv shows EVER i think, i love the way each character has their own problems and there are no villains, since everyone is doing what they do for a reason. I like how they showed how some kids actually have junkies as parents, and how often they don't choose the lifestyle they live

[weidna]

it was frustrating enough when i found out the wire was permanently gone.

than michael goes on to chase white bitches on the cw. come on now.

[sarcasticone]

Micheal now chasing CWGs? SHeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT

[weidna]

Micheal now chasing CWGs? SHeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT

this made me realize the irony of the network's name being the CW.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

[sidneylo]

Godamn. Makes me wanna rewatch the whole series from the beginning…again.

Reading The Road at the moment and loving it. Started to check out the imdb page for the film, so psyched to see that Omar Little (Michael Williams) is in it:
