freebooter posted:Watched the episode where Kima gets shot again, and it's interesting to note McNulty's reaction. The rewatch in this thread was the first time I ever noticed how much he completely goes to pieces in the following episode with his insubordination and open drinking etc; I didn't really pay attention to it when I first watched it because there's too much other interesting stuff going on in that episode to pay attention to McNulty's drama (the excellent hospital scene aside - which is really more about Rawls). But it's worth noting that in the heat of the moment McNulty doesn't miss a beat: relays instructions to dispatch perfectly, immediately performs CPR on Kima. It's only later that he comes down with his PTSD, filtered through his own solipsist lens. Real poe-leese have sorted muscle memory for instant crisis response and then spend decades in therapy or bars trying to sort out their brain. My wife and I wanted McNulty to both succeed and go to jail in the last few episodes of season 5, so we were still rooting for him. The only time I was not sympathetic was when he was hurting Beatrice. Edit: unrelated: Just finished, and I'm kinda glad they never again discussed Bill Rawls' after-hours activities after one off-duty scene. It kept the mystery alive.

olin posted:I don't understand Marlo in season 5. The greek guy gives him a phone and Marlo is all "I dont talk on the phone." The greek guy tells him he can talk about things that aren't business. Then like 1 episode later Marlo is all the sudden using phones with all of his crew sending pictures that give the locations of drug buys. Why did Marlo just immediately stop following his own rules? My guess is that he thought encrypted codes were okay. I wish they would have foreshadowed the map bit by having police frequently finding they same Baltimore map edition at drug scenes. Or maybe they did and I missed it. I barely spotted Bill Rawls in the gay bay.

Harold Stassen posted:I finished the second half of S5 the night Templeton won the Oscar which was kind of weirdly serendipitous. I like how everyone knew which guy I was talking about with the vaguest description possible and also that his resume is more impressive than that one character would suggest. Yeah, lemme get that Syrian Exodus and a Thailand Tsunami

I thought Koutris was straight up corrupt, not massaging a crime lord for intel.
