The Wire

chrini · #1 11-22-2006, 01:30 AM

Episode 48 finally appeared. This is my first season watching The Wire. I was in awe when I saw Omar full frontal at the beginning of the season. I did not know they show men like that on HBO except on porn. I noticed the little girl in Randy's (and them) class with braids (a few episodes back). Is she supposed to be Snoop's sister? I know before Naymond switched classes he told Snoop her sister was in his class. Wow this show is getting intense, I cannot wait till next week.

Hubby and I love that song...I still get chills on the part where Snoop is in the playground and they just show her profile

keep em in the hole...down in the hole...keep em in the hole...down in the hole

Someone differently sings the theme each season. This season it is a group called DoMaJe. There is a link below on Wikipedia discussing the music.

The second link is HBO where you can supposedly buy the song through iTunes. I didn't find the version by DoMaJe.

Third link has a sample of the song. If anyone know how to make a ring tone from this site please let me know.

Yo.... is Cheese (Method Man) Randy's father?

On Wikipedia and HBO.com their last names are both Wagstaff. I noticed this a few weeks ago.

In Jan, The Wire will be shown on BET. Now how in the world will that work with all of the cursing? You know the "f" word is their favorite.

It being shown on BET may be fine for some, but I like my WIRE unedited.

Just watched episode 49 on On Demand.

Let me just say.....oh.my.goodness.

Also, When Idris was on that award show announcing the wire would be on bet, he was very un-sexy.
