@ that finale

I agree Orange Moon.....But I was when Marlo showed up at the trial.

::impatiently awaits next season::

too many unanswered questions.....

[ambitious1]

After last weeks episode I was trying to hold on to a glimmer of hope Stringer may find a way to come back, but after seeing last nights episode I had to come to grips I just won't be seeing that fine piece of man candy on the wire anymore.

Last night's season finale seemed more the the series finale.
I can't wait until next season though.

Does anyone know when the next season starts?

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???

I don't know if anybody caught it, but it looks like Kema is gonna be sleeping with a dude on the next episode. They showed her kissing somebody and (in my expert opinion) it didn't look like a female's back. Can't wait till Sunday.

Well, I have conducted my research. I have tested my data. And it looks like that might possibly be a woman Kema is with. I stand corrected. I will say this, Kema dayum show didn't seem nervous about doing that scene. She is a GREAT actor. I look forward to seeing more of her craft in the future.

I also could have done without watching SHAKAZULU sleep with the DA (she isn't that hot, anyway). Also, I thought Bunny (Major Colvin) was gonna go up there and slap Rauls during his demotion. It was so funny watching Tweet go off on "BERNARD". Now she talked his weak ___ into getting the hook up on the phones, so they could skim some of the money. Then, when they get popped, she tells him how stupid he is and how he is the dumbest person she has ever went out with.

I personally like how reality set in for Avon, just before they got popped. He started to evaluate the situation and realized he created more problems going to war with Marlo. I think he felt that maybe the better business decision would have been to let him have the corner. This way, there would have been less bodies, no WIRE on the cells, good product, and most importantly he doesn't break his parole. Still, Avon never should have been there around all those weapons, anyway. String told him that so many times.

Omar's boyfriend is so weak. He told Omar that he held out as long as he could, but Brandon held out longer and was tortured and killed. I hope Omar still has the receipt, because he needs to trade him back in for another one.

The show ended like there won't be a SEASON 4. Jimmy returns to walking the beat and he was the one who got the WIRE started in the first place on each season. Even though Slim and Bodie are still on the street, I'm thinking maybe Season 4 will bring a new crew to the corners to battle with Marlo.

Last but not least, will somebody telly Cutty it's 2004, not 84. It's time to let the MINI-FRO-SHAG go.

[DC_Zeta1920]

It is rumored that The Wire wont be coming back for Season 4. This saddens me because it is one of the best shows on HBO..hell one of the best shows period.

There is a petition out for this....

The Wire Petition

here we go...

LMAO @ "contrapment." that was funny. but, with bodie, slim charles and brianna (since she comes from a family of hustlers and gangstas) out, yall think they'll try to get it popping again?

i felt a touch bad for bunny being demoted to lt. but, i LMAO when he said "get on with it emm effas" that was CLASSIC.

i'm at burrell for taking the credit for the crime drop. and i'm at snoop for trying to take the credit for killing stringer. somebody need to put 2 to her tts and get her off the show.

thumbs down to carcetti!! i felt bad for gray when ol' boy was giving his "i have a dream" speech. he's such a slime.

so, the chick who plays kima must really be a lesbian. she was licking and sucking that girl's breasts with too much fervor. "acting" don't get that good. i could've done without that and daniels and pearlman doing it.

and see, strang had been telling avon to stay away from the griminess--stay away from guns, bodies, phones and corners. avon aint listen and got caught with the weapons.

what yall think of brianna leaving her brother like that in the courtroom? could it be because she knows he got info on d'angelo's death and won't tell her? could it be that her money is in danger with him behind bars and strang dead?

and fruit looked like he was about to piss his pants when he saw cutty. yeah dude, last time you saw him, you were staring down the business end of his piece!!! that was a CLASSIC moment too!! i love cutty. he need to holla at me!!

DITTO!!!! Pearlman looks like a sour pumpkin with a bad wig!! The two of them...*shudders* I think I did read somewhere that the actress who plays Kima is lesbian.

[Queencece]

I would like to say that Slim's voice is sexy as hayle and that I rented the first season from Netflix because Blockbuster was fakin.

Q

[bobbyearl93]

I just found out that the guy who plays the preacher (that bunnny had to explain Amsterdamn to and Cutty got help from) is the REAL LIFE Stringer Bell. Supposedly, he and the writer (the REAL LIFE McNulty) are friends now, even though they were enemies. I heard they even have lunch together and discuss ideas for the series. You may be thinking "That guy is old", but the WIRE storyline is based on what happened in the 80's. They just changed it to make it seem as if it occurs in the present.
So even though Stringer dies in the series, he is alive in reality.
That's strange, because the preacher doesn't look like he was tough enough to be a NUMBER 2 guy in the game. Still, Stringer was never really all that hard anyway. He was a businessman. Plus, you can't tell how hard someone is by their look or demeanor. Look at Marlo, he doesn't look tough either, but he runs a cold crew and he is extremely street smart for his age.


I also heard that Season Four will focus more on Marlo and his crew. They will be a rival crew who will try to take over and force Marlo out. I am not sure how the detail will be set up and who will be on it. Again, McNulty was the sole reason why each WIRE was up, but he walks the beat. It will be intersting to see who will take his place, if he is no longer involved. My guess would be Bunk, since he catches a lot of the murders.
