Why is there no new episode this week (10/29)? I went to my In Demand to watch the 10/29 show and there was no new episode listed. Then I went to next Sunday to see what the title was and there is no episode at all on next Sunday.

They've done this towards the middle of every season of The Wire thus far. They take a week off and run a marathon, so that people can catch up if need be.

I hate this. Not because of the leak, but because I'm scared of running into spoilers. You know how some people are, so proud that they've seen it all before most people they just have to spoil it. I enjoy watching it as it comes on HBO, so I've had to stop going a few places just to make sure I remeain spoiler free.

I like how the intro song is varied each season. The same song/lyrics but different interpretation in terms of musical style. Does anyone have a mp3 of this seasons opening? I can't find it anywhere and I think it is the best so far.

The Wire - "Unto Others" - 10/29/06 (and on Demand)

"Unto Others"
Spoiler:
With a bounty on his head, Omar calls in a favor to Bunk. The election finally over, Royce and Carcetti make their peace, and contemplate their respective futures. At school, Prez "tricks" his students into learning math; Namond finds that the old rules no longer apply; a disillusioned Cutty ponders his job future; and Randy is cleared to return to class. Marlo looks to "smoke out" his pursuers, infuriating Herc, who begs Carver to help. Expecting the worst, Pearlman gets surprisingly good news from her new boss. Following some high-profile appearances, Daniels's star seems to be on the rise. Bubbles finds his rolling business, and relationship with Sherrod, sabotaged by both sides of the law. Finally, Greggs uses "soft eyes" at an unsolved crime scene.


My thoughts
Spoiler:

Great episode

Loved the opening with Omar getting his phone book armor

Prez getting his kids to learn math by calculating the odds in a dice game was great.

What happens to Dukie should be interesting. Prez seems to be trying to lend a hand and help him, but on this show the character usually end up where they started.

Royce is going to be pissed if he ever finds out the truth about the witness murder

I was just thinking the season is almost over and no major happenings yet, makes me really wish for a longer season.

Yeah I've watched the entire season and don't get me wrong, it's freaking fantastic, but it's definitely a big set up for next season. I bet next season comes out of the gate running.

Nobody said it was a bad one. Just that as of right now the pieces dont seem to be very close at all to being set to spring into action. Atleast compared to where they have been at this point in previous season.

Was thinking the same thing as I watched the second to last ep. I kept thinking no way they can pull this all together with just one episode left. Granted the final episode is an hour and a half I think, but man they pull it off, and it's great.
