God I hate the Greek. I hate his little mouth and I hate the mincing little way he talks. I hate how he sits in a gross little diner with gross burnt coffee. I wish he would get squished between two shipping containers!

I don’t recall if Clay ever ripped off a working citizen or if it was just other politicians and rich drug donors. Clay is super corrupt he felt more like an incidental parasite more than anything

I’m rewatching The Wire because you gotta and today is the day I give up and ask : what the gently caress is up with the weird meowing noise that Snoop makes? Is that a word or something I can’t understand? (“Get here” was something the subtitles attempted. ) Is that a thing people do? Just a really specific character choice? I come into this certain I’m dumb so it’s a given.

I've seen a range of translations for it from 'yerp' to 'ya heard'. I'm in the 'ya heard' camp as it's mostly used as some sort of acknowledgement.

I've heard it in random places before. It's definitely one of those lines that infiltrated a little bit into pop culture. It's just so good and no one can deliver it quite like him.

ShowTime posted:I did a rewatch of this in January and it's still my favorite show of all time. Right around the time I was finishing it, they released a 20th anniversary podcast on Spotify and i've been learning a lot of things I had no idea about. There are moments where i'm listening and I just say "no poo poo". One of the biggest ones was that McNulty was originally written as an over-the-hill, fat, alcoholic and not a younger, handsome alcoholic. They originally wanted to go after John C. Reilly for the part. Also, Templeton (Tom McCarthy) is actually a very successful writer, director and producer, not just a piece of poo poo hack in season 5. Maybe other people knew that, but I had no idea and I've watched the entire series 10+ times, easily. I've been listening to this and along with everything else mentioned it's worth it just to hear Method Man say "I hate fuckin' anime".

Moving to see Lance Reddick so emotional when talking about Michael K Williams, because the guy so often plays such stoic characters. He really is missed.

I just finished listening to it this morning. My favorite episode was the one dedicated to Michael K Williams, because you get to hear just how much he meant to everyone. I was always a fan of his and was wrecked the day we learned he had passed away. Some of the stories you hear about what he would do for people will have you in tears.

I highly highly recommend his interview on the podcast Bullseye with Jesse Thorn. Jesse is an extremely good interviewer who skips all the typical questions and gets Michael k Williams to cry just by playing a song  edit: I actually just went back and listened and good god.

I picked up that 20th anniversary book (had a Christmas gift card to use) and David Simon says a 6th season would've actually been season 4 and focused on the nascent Central American immigrant community in Baltimore, but still would've ended with what we got for seasons 4 and 5.

Orange Devil posted:It's certainly interesting isn't it? Dude must be swimming in money but look at his life. Hanging with my bro in a diner every day reading the paper sounds like heaven to me. Of course, you don't need hundreds of millions of dollars to do that, thats what most retirees in Greece do anyway. Re a theoretical season 6: I'm not sure it would have been desirable even if they got it. The series ended on such a strong note - there's a beautiful symmetry to the arc of the seasons, that having an additional season maybe disrupted that, even if some really interesting things could be explored. I haven't seen We Own This City, but a sort of epilogue - 10 years later - kind of series may have been cool, revisiting some of the surviving characters. I dunno.

Well I think they knew going into Season 5 that they would never get approval for 6 so they made sure to put a bow on everything so they felt like it wrapped up properly. If there was any hope for Season 6 the Season 5 wouldn’t have ended like that

My shameful secret is I've never actually finished season 5. I've watched the rest of the show multiple times, but never these last like ~8 episodes that I'm on right now. Every time I've tried in the past 1) you can't just start at season 5, don't be weird. You obviously need to see it in context so you need to have the whole show fresh in your mind, and 2) McNulty loving his life over is incredibly painful to watch. I'm writhing in every scene of him drunk and womanizing.
