The fact that this show has been consistently ignored from the award shows is guilty of more crimes then Chris & Snoop combined. But whatever, it's still the BEST show on
television, period.
Same here, just saw 12 eps in a row today, just awesome, and great stuff all around. Agreed about the awards.

Best show that I've ever seen. I'll really miss it when it's gone.

Yeah, I saw Micheal.


Can't tell if Marlow is going to be a bad ass or a bitch this season. Carver definately looks like he's going to be a bad ass this season.

Loved the little shot of Clay Davis in there. When the actor did that "Dad got hosed" commercial last year I always chuckled and added my own "shit".

Tonight (Thursday) at 10:30/9:30 Central, HBO is showing a 30 minute program called "The Wire Odyssey". I think it's just a retrospective of the first 4 seasons/preview of the 5th, but it could be interesting.

Holy crap, I totally forgot about that commercial, didn't know it's the same guy! I'm surprised a "shiiieeeet" isn't edited with that commercial on youtube.

Yeah I definitely saw Dukie with a bad black eye holding a gun. What about Carvers uniform?

Spoiler:
He had Lt bars on it - looks like another promotion for him.

I don't think Carver's uniform is a spoiler but...

Spoiler:
Didn't he pass the Lt. exam during the first season, he just never got an Lt. position... opting for the details instead and other such circumstances were in the way.

Spoiler:
No, he passed the Sergeant's exam and received the position to start season 2. Daniels told him that he would ignore the stripes if he accepted him back in the detail after Carver screwed him over in S1.

This premieres on HBO On Demand tomorrow. Does this mean it'll be available at midnight, or sometime later during the day?

I was wondering if they were going to do that again. It should be available after midnight. That was the case last time, and it was the case with Tell Me You Love Me.

As excited as I am, I don't know if I'm emotionally ready for Season 5 to start.

I am dead tired right now but I am so tempted to watch it On Demand as it is already listed for me.

I think I'll go in with a fresh head tomorrow morning.

Good episode...glad to see this series back

Question: The file Chris was looking at (I'll spoilerize just in case)

Spoiler:

it's been a while, but was that one of the Russian guys they busted from that prostitution ring? (Season 2)


Wonder what Marlo is up to....

Great episode. I've been awaiting the return of The Wire more than anything else this year and it didn't disappoint at all.
