Really great episode, though.

Seeing as how the finale of Scrubs last season WAS in HD, this might be the only one left

Good episode
I wonder how much of the show Dominic West actually shot, I didn't see him in the previews for the next episode.

Great episode. It feels like things are really getting started now with school in session.
One clarification : Why is Rawls so against the wire case? I'd say it's because he sees it as wasting time and wants Lester back in Homicide, but is there more to it than that?

Will Prezbo ever get control of his class? It looks like what made him a bad patrol cop is making him a bad teacher.

This show is amazing. I mean we already know the stories are great and the acting is great, but how many shows can make a lone gay man in Omar and a petite street girl in Snoop be two of the most feared people on the street. So cool.
Omar is great, but it does seem like he is a bit of a superhero though. I never understood why no one could take him out. Especially now that he is without a full crew. Hard to find, sure. Impossible though? But it's not like I want him off of the show though so I don't really care.

The second special talked about the development of the show and includes interviews with some of the cast and the producer and writer. Also talks about the city of Baltimore in general.

They were great specials. Showed how some of the actors are ex-Baltimore drug dealers, etc. that the one writer/producer busted when he was in the police. They showed how the language is so different and unique just to Baltimore. They had interviews with a past mayor of Baltimore (also an actor on the show briefly, and the one who thought about legalizing drugs), several current city counsel members, etc. They go into how most of the police characters are based off real people, and that "Bunk" was very well known by everyone.
They also show a lot of interviews with people in the schools. Someone that was a cop in real life did become a teacher (I forget who), and did incredible things. That is what gave away how Prez will handle it....
I don't remember the specials giving much away, but there were a lot of scenes from the 4th season.
