You will be disappointed at how they continue to jerk around the major case squad. But they had to do certain things to propel the plot.

AND..... certain elements from season TWO are reintroduced, and I was happy for that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I read that was the theme they were going for. I like how each season has looked at crime from different angles and had themes. You had the streets, distribution (docks), police force, school system, politics, etc. It keeps the series fresh and interesting.

watching it now!!!!

The Wire brought me out of lurkdom!!

Dam y'all with On Demand the ability to watch early!!!

Are we going to have some rules about what is revealed and what is not for us folks that have DirecTV or do not have the ability to watch early or do I just need to avoid this thread?

I did watch the HBO show that previewed the season. I am so excited!

I think we need to make a pact--no discussing The Wire until Mondays!

I have OnDemand but I'm in Dallas right now instead of back in Houston so I can't watch yet but I'm soooo excited that I don't know what to do with myself! I think I'm going to cry when this season is over.

IAGREE...We should hold off on discussions until after it airs on its regular night on HBO which is Sunday I believe

I would hate ruin it for anyone

To all the HBO Demand Folks...do you re-watch the regular airing to try and catch stuff you missed the first time around

Nope. I just rewatch it immediately after I watch on On Demand.

I will agree with this pact. I will not discuss the Wire until the following Monday.

Senusret I · #**461** 01-03-2008, 02:09 PM

I'm not going to agree to not discuss it at all, but I can agree not to provide any actual "spoilers."

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to say OOOOOOOOOH DON'T MISS THIS WEEK!!!!! every now and then.

MeezDiscreet · #**462** 01-03-2008, 03:29 PM

It's not on my OnDemand!!!
