that has already been established by past episodes (last season I think)...when Micheal went to Marlo for help it was to protect Bug from him...

There was a clue last season. This season while Bunk was reviewing the file of Bug's father or when he questioned Michael, he made a comment (have to go back review exactly what was said) that just about confirmed it.

I think it was HEAVILY suggested during a conversation between the dude and Micheal last season, then the way Micheal wanted him away from Bug....they made it pretty obvious...I had no doubt last season, but yeah I guess it was better confirmed....

I know the finale will be full of suprises....

Bunk said "I know that motherfugger did some hanious ish to you but I know someone of your physicality could not pull something like this off..." ;)

With Omar now "bagged up" is Kenard gonna be the new Omar? I think the Greeks might snitch on Marlo..because they don't have any ties to him plus to get him back for killing Prop Joe..shoot they (the Greeks) could've been giving him bags of flour and sugar to sell to folks on the street! I also think Marlo's gonna do something to Chris's family!

Late Edition
The Wire: Season 5, Episode 509
With Steintorf ordering Rawls to initiate "creative" remedies for the rising crime rate, Freamon's vigilance pays off with a promising lead, sending Sydnor and the department into overdrive. Although Daniels is originally delighted, a further probe with Pearlman reveals some troubling source information. McNulty, feeling betrayed, doesn't feel like sharing in Freamon's celebration; Michael is suspicious about his latest assignment; Haynes gets fresh eyes to help with fact-checking; Namond's debating skills make Colvin proud; Davis points a finger at Levy and the courts; and Bubbles recounts a recent temptation overcome.

The Wire: Season 5, Episode 510
Carcetti maps out a damage-control scenario with the police brass in the wake of a startling revelation from Pearlman and Daniels. Their choices: clean up the mess, or hide the dirt. With his leads predictably drying up, McNulty asks Landsman to pull police off the homeless case - until a fresh homicide ramps up the investigation. A frustrated Haynes finds his concerns about Templeton falling on increasingly deaf ears. Convinced he has the upper hand, but caught in a legal quandary, Levy plays a cat-and-mouse game with Pearlman. Bubbles debates whether to greenlight a newspaper story about his life; Dukie seeks out an old mentor for a loan; and Marlo oversees a new co-op order as he maps out his next move. As the officers stage an Irish wake for another dearly departed officer, the seeds of the future are sown throughout Baltimore.

Thanks.

Did anyone else notice that Jim Jones randomly appeared in one scene?

I wouldn't know who Jim Jones was if you paid me.

I really hope this season finally has closure.

I thought that was him standing outside the corner store drinking a beverage from a paper bag. ;)

Extreme spoilers for the last two episodes!

Click at your own risk. If it's true, then it's nothing that should surprise most of us. BUT, I am still going to watch because it will be compelling storytelling.

I cried. :(

I'm glad Mike got to Snoop for before she got to him.:) I had hoped something good would happen for Mike, but I guess not getting killed will have to do. It has been interesting to see the whole Dukie, Namond, Randy, Mike storyline play out.

Kima needs to check under her car before she starts it. Her fellow officers will want her as well as McNulty's head on a stick.

Marlo needs to shut the hell up and be glad that Omar didn't get his ass.

Mike....damn.:(
