I actually enjoyed this episode. I wasn't expecting anything major....how could you top Stringer getting killed??? If they wanted to be a "regular" show, they would have saved ithe shooting until last night, but what really impressed me was the entire message "The players change, but there's still the game." That was the whole underlying theme of this show. Crime does not pay, but there will always be crime. Marlo taking over the corners. Johnny's dead, but Bubbles has a new kid he's trying to "school. Hamsterdam is bulldozed, but hoppers right back to selling drugs.
The ending with the people out of the corners, Boddie looking at Marlo's crew was great. Who's going to be the next one to try to knock Marlo off the throne? Boddie? Slim Charles? The Co-op?
The entire scene with the music playing and them flashing to different things was beautiful. The court room, Donnette crying, the street etc. Only thing I could have done without was Kema and her little side thang and The Lt's--excuse me MAJOR's-- booty with Rhonda's legs wrapped around him. ((Shudder))
I think everyone--Jimmy & Omar especially--found that what they thought the wanted was not as satisfying as wanting it.
Man, I love the Wire. What is I'm gon' do next Sunday night??? what is I'm gon' do???
