Two seasons of Rescue Me for one price . It's so tempting to buy but I only have like $80 and I'm trying to save it for a later time.
I lived in Baltimore for 4 years and this is about as real as a depiction of society as I have ever seen televised. (Outside of Omar's character--his team isn't deep enough for him to have survived four seasons). In my opinion I would rank the season's as such: 3, 4, 2, 1. A lot of people didn't like Season 2 b/c it got away from the corners but that is when they brought the political/drug connects into effect. These dealers are getting their product from someone--Season 2 gives you a glimspe of how drug dealers maximize their profits. Again, there isn't a television show ever created that I would rate higher than the Wire. I am still hot that my favorite character got murdered in the Finale of Season 4. That is easily the hardest I've ever took a TV death.
Wait, DeAngelo got murdered? I'm already through the last three episodes, and plan on watching two more tonight. Amazing show!

I meant to say first three episodes of Season 1. Hehe, I see Shiek has changed it, but I remember him saying "D" got murdered. Might be another D though...

Anyway, you've only got through 3 episodes? I'm envious that you still have so much to watch. The next episode, episode 4, has one of the funniest scenes ever. Bunk and McNulty having a conversation using a single word and variations thereof
So yeah, just got through episode 4. Never did see that scene though Chuck, maybe in the 5th one? One thing I was surprised though is the nudity in this. I've never watched HBO series so I don't know if that's the norm, but damn, gimme boobies every episode? Not that I'm against it, but I'm just not used to seeing it in a TV show. Really makes everything seem natural though.

Anyway, you didn't watch Episode 4, Old Cases? When Bunk and McNulty go to Diedres crime scene? The "f---, mothaf---a" scene? What, you downloading em and watching em in the wrong order or something?
Oh that's the scene you were talking about? I didn't think of it as a conversation, just mumbling random 'F' words. In retrospect though, it is pretty funny. I rented the whole first season, burned copies of the DVDs, and now I watch it on TV.

You can tell simply by the tone and variation exactly what they're saying. It's a beautiful scene. I said "conversation" because I didn't want to spoil the fact that they solved a crime while doing it. Anyway, which episode are you on now? Keep me updated as you go through, and your thoughts on the stuff. I'm a loser like that.
Just finished the fifth episode. Really liked the scene with D and his girl in the restaurant, really got you into his mind and revealed a lot about his character. I'm starting to root for the gangbangers. Especially Brody and DeAngelo.
<div class="quote_poster">TheBlackMamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Bodie... Chuck, what is entourage about?</div> LOL @ Brody Shallow people. It's about a famous young actor and his entourage of friends. It's basically Sex in te City for males. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it is quite funny, and plenty entertaining.
<div class="quote_poster">Locke Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Just done nine. Crazy ish.</div> Starting around that episode, **** really hits the fan and picks up in the next few episodes. Enjoy. Once you start watching Season 2: The first few episodes are reaaaaaaly slow, albeit still good, but the rest are some of the best episodes of the series.
Finished ten as well. Gotta say, really impressive show. The whole thing looks low-budget at times but the cinematography is amazing. For example whenever I see a mirror shot, I wonder if there's something special that's going on. Story's top-notch as well. How they ended the episode with Greggs on the brink of death was great as well. Can't wait till tonight to maybe finish the first season!

Proposition Joe: Yeah, I'm like a marriage counselor. Tell the man he oughta bring the bitch some flowers every once in a while. Tell the bitch she gotta suck some cock every once in a while. That sort of ****. [Omar arrives] Proposition Joe: Speaking of cocksuckers... [to Omar] Proposition Joe: I'm Proposition Joe. You **** with me, I'll kill your whole family. I love this show. I think it's one of the funniest shows on TV, even though it's not a comedy.
Pay attention to the train tracks. The train tracks represent the paths that the institutions (in this case, the police) take. The conductor of the train represents the higher ups (Commissioners, etc); while they are conducting the train, they can only steer it along it's preordained path-- they can't steer it in any direction. When McNulty is messing with Major Rawls earlier in the season, you'll notice he is pissing on the tracks. He almost gets hit by the train, but moves out of the way at the last second. You'll notice in the next episode, after the thing with Kima, the train is stopped on the track. There is all kinds of subtle stuff like that in The Wire. I didn't call it a visual novel for nothing. edit: TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN WATCHING THE WIRE, IT WILL BE AIRING ON BET ON JANUARY 10TH OR 12TH. It might also be uncensored.
