The Wire

[boxingbantz]

Thing for me, is, Snoop was a stone killer too. But somehow, she humanized Chris. The only time I ever saw him show restraint was when they were running out the New York boys and he told her how to ferret them out. Snoop was about to kill a guy on a corner and Chris pulled her back. Not that he felt anything for the guy, but he had a strict set of rules he followed (ie, whatever Marlo told him to do). That and when he killed Michael's brother's father. For some reason, how he killed the man seemed deeply personal, almost like he'd known him. Even the cops thought he'd been killed by someone he was familiar with.

Snoop, basically, played herself. I am a Wire obsessive and Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson actually used to be a drug dealer and even done time for a murder when she was younger. She got the part when Michael K Williams (Omar) spotted her in a club and took her along to meet David Simon. Since making the show, she's been busted with drugs since. Some people never learn.

If I went on Mastermind, The Wire would definitely be my subject.

Oh, and for the record, the reason that didn't stop on Michael brother is because he himself got abused either when he was younger or when he done time inside. I think that is why he took such a shining to Michael as he could see himself in the boy.

I love all those HBO shows myself and could make an argument for 'the wire', 'Oz' and 'Sopranoes' as the best shows ever screened. I wouldnt be as good as yourself on 'the wire' but i know what i like and know a good show when i see one. Have you seen 'Oz'? Theres at least 5 or 6 people in the Wire that were in 'Oz'. If you aint seen it , i recommend it strongly. I think it was the 1st big show HBO did.

Yeah mate, I got Oz on my laptop but ain't watched it yet. I hear Bodie is in it? He was one of my favourite characters so be good seeing him in that - he was in the Sopranos too briefly. When one of the lorry jackings went wrong. Only noticed it the other day.

Yeah bodie is in it for a good few episodes. Funnily enough, i had it on my media player for nearly a year before i started watching them. Once i started i couldnt stop. Chris Meloni outta SVU is brilliant in it and plays a guy you just cannot imagine him playing until you see him do it. Dont want to say much more except to persevere with the first few episodes as its establishing the characters but well worth it

I hate Bodie on Oz. He's such a snot-nosed punk. I'm sure somebody shivved him, but I haven't seen a ton of Oz. I do know just about everyone died in the last season. Daniels was on Oz too as an undercover cop. I remember an episode where he was in solitary after someone got him high or forced him to take drugs and he was shaking like a leaf going through withdrawals.

It was obvious something had happened to him from the sheer amount of rage he had as he bludgeoned him to death. Look at how he killed every single person in the abandoned houses. It was almost tender. Remember my man who had the store when Chris was promising him he wouldn't leave him where the rats would eat him. He said something like, "Don't worry about it; I'll take care of you."

Another interesting fact, Chris Partlow and Marlo were meant to be gay but, because of marlo already being gay, David Simon feared the show would be too homo erotic.

Interesting. If you add 'l' and rearrange the letters you can use Omar's name to spell Marlo's. Maybe that's why Marlo's and Chris' other lives weren't so well fleshed out. Just about everyone else had some sort of love life.

The Wire has to be my favorite show of all time. I've watched every season at least twice. The only part I didn't really like was season two the whole docks thing, and Stringer Bell being killed. The man was trying to get out.

All the 'bad guys' had redeeming features, and all the 'good guys' had their dark side, thats why it was so good.

Season 2 seems to be everyone's least favourite season but I really enjoyed it. Ziggy was a great character - played pretty much the same character in Generation Kill as well. Oh, and I actually felt sorry for Sobotka when he got killed by the Russian/Greeks.

Sobotka was basically a decent guy who was trying to plug all the holes while the Dam was falling all around him. Everything was just a means to an end for him and keeping peoples jobs and shit was his main priority.
Clay Davis was a great character and could talk his way out of a tigers stomach
