Isn't brother Mouzone based on the suspect in 2pac's murder? As in there was an identikit photo that was published by the police that is a ringer for Brother and was described as wearing a bowtie.

Edit: Biggie, not 2pac

Bubbles had a happy ending, he was allowed into his sisters house at the end.

I just found a socialogical and criminological analysis of The Wire, an interesting read. A series of articles here: http://thecrankysociologists.com/tag/the-wire/

otoh, Ed Burns based a lot of stuff in Season 4 directly on his experience as a schoolteacher.

Yeah, but cynicism about their occupation comes a lot more naturally to teachers than to journalists, especially at the time the wire was made.

Yeah I watched the scene and I feel that while Daniels didn't want to drag Kima out of the closet eventually Burrell got it.

Just Bodie, man. He deserved a happy ending.

Bodie was already showing disrespect to Marlo, McNutty may have sped the process up but Bodie was over the life but couldn't leave voluntarily

Poot was an idiot.
Nearing yet another rewatch of S1 and for the life of me I cannot grasp what Poot's "position" was in the scheme of the game. Beyond not keeping his mouth shut about others to his superiors.

He was a reliable worker who didn't gently caress up the count and was willing to get his hands dirty.

Edit: Part of the whole point of Bodie and Poots story is that they had been in the game since their early teens. Plenty of people in their peer group died or went to prison or were unreliable and got hosed up. Those two survived.

I can't believe that they are making more Deadwood. If you look at what happened in real life, Hearst wins, Bullock and Star sell out, and swearengen dies in a ditch in Chicago

Also Dominic West is trolling everyone pretty effectively at the moment.

"The gently caress did I do?"

Yeah I was gonna say, I loved that little detail of joe quietly pulling one over on the coop. They don’t draw attention to it, he just can’t help himself so he goes for it, even though he’s in a ridiculously precarious position.

I mean, I wonder if people in the game ever think about how they would like to go, if the time came

Probably in the special class. Also is it played by Pearson's actual sister? Wouldn't surprise me in this show

I recently found out that Snoop did a topless scene in a 2015 movie. Enjoy.

But was the movie any good and is it available on Amazon prime? Asking for a friend

Yeah but without the gay bar scene that wouldn't imply anything

It is a mistake to consider the disadvantaged to be angels. A lot of them could be in substantially better situations if they made different decisions along the way. What texts like The Wire try to show you is that these people make these decisions for what are perfectly sound reasons. I read a column a few years ago, it may have been the last year's of cracked.com, which was a guy who grew up poor but got a well paying job and a wealthier partner, who was suddenly realising that he was still making what he called "poor people decisions". They make sense to a poor person but ultimately lead to greater poverty.

When does Bodie die? Because I definitely cared about him

His scene with McNulty is the latter's last good scene really
