The governor was only going to do the bailout if Carcetti faced public humiliation for taking the money, which would have damaged Carcetti's own plans of running for governor. I assumed he knew this was going to have consequences. Troll Bridgington fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Aug 19, 2015 |

I broke down and started another re-watch a couple days ago. It's just really hard to find something else that scratches the itch for me lately. The Snot Boogie story starts and it's just over for me for a couple weeks.

Lid posted:Poot as a shoe salesman and its huh he survived good for him and them you have to remind yourself he is a cold blooded murderer that killed Wallace and will never answer for it. The Wire is a world of contrasts. I've always wondered if Jimmy's view of Bodie near the end would have been different if he knew about the murder.

Ithle01 posted:The actor who plays Herc basically makes the perfect transition to We Own This City where he plays the scummy police union representative. I like to think he's still playing his character from The Wire post private investigator after Levy gets him into law. He plays a clean cop in the 2nd season of Reacher. I was half expecting him to do something lovely at some point but it never came lol

I was under the impression he was pretty close to ordering a hit on Clay Davis in that final wiretap. "Oh, that other thing: the two hitters you asked after, they're good with it." Clay is probably one of the luckiest motherfuckers on the show.

Randallteal posted:Yeah that's fair, I forgot this ended with him contemplating murdering Davis, lol. I feel like it was never possible as long as Avon had a say. The Barksdale organization only worked when Stringer and Avon were on the same page. Things started visibly going downhill once they started disagreeing on how the business was ran, and you can see the early signs of it in season 1. Avon was always stubborn until reality was too close to ignore. You see this when he changes his mind about how to handle Omar after getting shot, and when he relents that they no longer can compete with the East side product wise and changes his mind about the co-op. They were both stubborn about the directions they wanted to pull the organization towards, and that kept up until the thread snapped. Would Stringer have been successful without Avon, or vice-versa? I'm not too sure.

I do wonder what separates him from criminals who are able to successfully become "the bank" as Mcnulty and Freamon describe it, but maybe his ambition was too big to make it work like that. Ultimately I feel like a guy with a community college education should be smart enough to handle making money through building and flipping condos, but that still doesn't mean he can't get taken advantage of by experienced con artists.
|
Jerusalem posted:Oh you're right, I had legit forgotten he'd apparently tried to do a runaround Avon and find people willing to take a shot at Clay. Which would have been a disaster and probably ended with him in prison right next to Avon. Avon of course would have been all,"I told you so" for the one day of the two Avon had to serve. I wonder if they were Day of the Jackal types? We'll never know!

bucketybuck posted:One consistent theme in The Wire is that Stringer is repeatedly shown to be nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is, and that he repeatedly misjudges situations and makes the wrong decisions. I have zero doubt that as a businessman bankruptcy would have been there in his future. Biting on the most obvious controlled buy was a pretty big one early on.

Never liked his "super cool calm badass monotone" delivery and I think the wild west standoff with Omar in the alley and all the back and forth dialogue about guns is silly. His confrontation with Cheese is fun at least.

While it's still not my favorite season, I'm starting to appreciate season 4 after re-watching too many times. Greggs learning the ropes in homicide, and eventually using her "soft eyes" and taking the Braddock case down is such a great sequence of scenes. Also, I feel like vice principle Donnely is an underrated character. Tootsie Duvall did a fantastic job making the character feel real.

Clay Davis is such a wild character. Shows up to the steps of the courthouse, holds up the book Prometheus Unbound and then mispronounces all of the character's names. Season 5 might be growing on me. It was already worth it for the Bubs story alone.

BiggerBoat posted:Most especially because Freamon went along with it for some reason and it felt terribly out of character. This was where I completely started hating that plot too. I understand he was frustrated, but he was consistently shown as one of the few characters who at least had some knowledge about how criminal cases play in court. A smart lawyer (like Levy) would be able to sniff that tainted evidence from a mile away, and he did. Lester getting snippy with Ronnie about Marlo getting away was dumb as well. He was lucky to avoid indictment, and he should have known that tainted evidence destroys a case. Part of me feels like they did this just to end the show with Greggs being the "clean" cop. "Natural PO-leeeeeese"
