The Wire

[Blotus]

I done watched all of The Corner. It was pretty rad. Neat to see Freamon, Prop Joe, Carcetti's aide (don't remember his name), Sydnor, Landsman, Daniels, and Daniels wife in different roles... especially Freamon as a dope fiend.

Did I miss anybody, Drew?

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Haven't seen it yet!

[Blotus]

Do!

Bit of trivia regarding episode 5 of season 5. Not a spoiler.


At the end of the last episode of The Corner, the director interviews the real life people that the series' characters are based on. One of them, Fran Boyd (played in the series by Khandi Alexander), appears in s5e05 as a clinic worker taking Bubbles' blood. You only see her for about two seconds, but it was neat.

Ugh....

Ugh.......

I just stumbled onto a terrible, terrible spoiler from episode 8 while looking at the iMDB boards. I'm going to cry when this series ends.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Who the fuck would have seen episode 8 at this point? Did a crewmember leak it?

[Blotus]

I don't know. There's some sort of preview out. I didn't stop to check the details. It had already been ruined for me.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Fuck. Sorry, man.

[Blotus]

I have a sickness. It's called impatience. I'm prescribing myself a drug-induced coma. See you in two months.

I have been denying myself any eps this season until i can get them all at the same time, but i already know some big spoilers too. Friggin local radio guy was giving them away, i'll kill him.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Urrgh. Stephen King busted some ridiculous spoilers in his pre season four review. I'll never forgive him.

[Blotus]

Will we ever be able to convince the masses of The Wire's greatness? It seems to be one of those shows I'll be telling people about forever. Of at least ten people I've tried to convince, one is actually getting into season one.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Yeah, I've found most people to be Wire-resistant. There's no explaining it. Those that I know that have watched it love it to a one.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Episode 8 has hit torrent sites. Can't fucking wait till I get home!

[Blotus]

All I have to say about episode 8 is...

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Goddamn it!

So hard not to spoil myself .

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

JESUS FUCKING FUCK CHRIST

THAT LITTLE FUCK

[Blotus]

Yeah...

[Blotus]

Episode 9 down... just one more to go... sniff. I wish the finale could be 100 hours.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Thanks for the heads up. Oh man. We're approaching the end of an era!

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Episode 9! Oh man! FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT

<font color="white">Marlo's outburst in the cell was about as perfect a eulogy for Omar as I could have imagined. God, I hope the charges stick.

The end sequence with Dukie, Bug and Michael was about as sad for me as the series ever has been.

It's so nice to see Bubbles on the straight and narrow.

Fuck, one episode away from THE END. I hope, hope, hope that it's not as tragic as I know it is going to be.</font>

[Blotus]

Did you by chance see the three prequel shorts that came out before this season?

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

I didn't! I'll watch them after I'm done with episode 10, which I'VE JUST DOWNLOADED OMFG

It's watermarked, but is otherwise top-quality.

[Blotus]

Just finished it.

[Fea]

Man, it was far less brutal to it's characters than I expected it to be.
