Ok. There's a lot of character development, particularly with Cutty, Stringer Bell and Major Colvin. I really liked Season 3.
Hope you finish it soon...

Carcetti and the whole political side of things as well.

I forget which episode it is exactly, about 6 or 7, where the show suddenly takes off. Season 3 was my favorite until season 4, which I haven't finished but is already my favorite.

I and my colleague (who I introduced to the show) regularly use the word "suction" in the context of our several levels of management and who wields how much influence

One? It's two fo' five, yo'.

Oh, well then Two, please

yo'.

Season 3, Episode 11... OH, SNAP!!!

On to the last one, then 3 seasons completed.

Glad you're still watching this JG !

Season 4 is even better. I just started season 5.

JG, in ep 11, Stringer and Avon each saw their actions as strictly business and as strengthening the organization. Do you think that both of them were correct?

What's with people not understanding how to use spoiler tags in this thread? A major season five spoiler has already been ruined for me thanks to this thread, why ruin anything for other people who haven't seen the show?



Just put: *Season # Spoiler* before you post. Please.

I really have to see things more than once to analyze responsibly (I'm a little dense lol). For instance, I'm still not 100% exactly why the "OH, SNAP!!", but don't post that here... But when it comes to the business they've chosen, I can't help but think there's also at least some personal aspects.

Blib: Where? Now I don't wanna read back! haha. But if you PM me with it, I can include the spoiler tags... I'm sure by Season 5 I'll have forgotten anyway!

Which post(er) are you referring to? I didn't post any spoiler material on Season 3..

Okay, I overreacted. But referring to a specific episode (11 of season 3 in your case Lilo) and mentioning anything at all can make someone predict what direction the show is going while leading up to that.

Anyway, nevermind.

I don't think Lilo (or hopefully I) said anything that'd give anything away... at least nothing specific... How the hell else are we supposed to discuss this??

Season/episode specific spoiler warnings... then say anything you want. If someone is dumb enough to read after the spoiler warning then that's their own fault.

I'm sorry if I'm being a stickler about it, but like I said I had a major spoiler ruined for me because someone here didn't use a spoiler tag, and because I love the show so much I feel strongly about it. I'll stop bugging now.

Yeah, I think you overreacted Blib. A spoiler would be posting clips from the show or discussing the whys and wherefores of specific actions characters took, describing those actions in detail and discussing what happened, what the writer's or actor's intent was and so on.

I didn't do any of that.

Talking very vaguely about unspecified actions that two characters took , without detailing who these characters are in the show or what they do is not a spoiler. From what I wrote all anyone who hasn't seen the show knows that there are two characters named Stringer and Avon. Just like all that anyone who hasn't read Great Expectations knows there are two characters named Pip and Miss Havisham...

"The Wire: The Complete Series" is today's Amazon Deal of the Day . $81.99

WHAT?!?!?! oh great! I was planning on reading that! Thanks alot!

Great price, actually! ...but then so is Netflix.

I'm waiting for the complete Twilight Zone set to be offered again. I haven't seen it since September.

On spoilers, however subtle:

All the pieces matter.

Started Season 4 tonight with the first 3 episodes. Nothing major yet, but could be an interesting season...

JG, IMO it is the best season. Enjoy

JG, when do you expect to finish Season 4? I also think it's one of the better ones.

Watched another 4 eps last night (Disc 2) -- 7 down, 6 to go! I hope to finish it this week since I'll be away the following week...

I've been lagging on season five. It's good so far, but I don't want to reach the spoiler someone gave away earlier in this thread. I wish I didn't know.

I forgot the spoiler if I read it... as I knew I would

I'd be more upset that Season 5 is the end

Watched 4 more episodes last night, and tonight hopefully will watch the last 2 of Season 4.

Which leads me to this:



While packing for my trip to Florida, I was looking for a pack of matches to take in my carry-on bag since lighters aren't allowed. Now, I found a pack of matches from RUTH'S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE. Isn't this where "Bunny" Colvin took the kids for a fancy dinner???



Have I been to one? I don't recall having ever been to one, whether in NJ, NY or Baltimore or anywhere else for that matter! If I was there, I sure would like to be reminded of it -- but if I wasn't, then how the hell did I get these matches????? I've never heard of the joint before seeing it featured in The Wire!!





Edit: Hmmm, I wonder if I went to the one in Annapolis??

How do you rate season four?
