Well, let me tell you........I unwillingly have seen basically 1 through 7....(what can I say....I'm a junkie....a fiend :biglaugh: didn't want to, but, had no choice......)....and, man, believe me....it's going somewhere :smoke:.....

Was not HBO sanctioned.....they've been going after the leaks petty aggressively....(They gave out first 7 episodes to media/critics for review, etc.....recipients obviously did not abide by conditions...)...Frankly, a little pissed off they didn't.......

(I watched, but, you know.....monitor and not great sound quality on episodes not the same as 65" with some quality sound, so, will still watch when they come on and probably see more, hear more, etc.......)

Yeah......really good (imo...)...quite a few surprises....

i know someone on the cast, and had the chance to get the whole season, but i wanted to remain faithful and give em as many ratings as possible, this show has seriously been slept on by everyone... david simon said they are working on another show but based in new orleans...lets hope it gets picked up.

????????? Really?........every one I know in every region I think has said they saw it.......???????

:smoke: Your going to like it I think :smoke:

(and 4's really a turning point :smoke:....)

And 5 gets some crazy shit started :biglaugh:...

I'm just wondering how they're going to wrap it up in the last 3..(8-9-10...)

Edit: I just realized it's Tuesday?????????????? Nah.....that's really strange...although last season they were not all exact.....sometimes was Monday morning , etc....always different time........sometimes 12 this timezone, 12 that timezone...sometimes 3, sometimes 4, sometimes 6...etc...so...I'd keep checking though.......should be on of course....

Yeah...I heard the same last year couple times...(some didn't get it by Monday, etc.....)

Missed your post above about Melvin Williams....(Real Life Avon.....)

He's the deacon in Season 4 you know :smoke:....

(I'm not sure if all one in the same but know Deacon in 4 was real life Avon /inspiration, and that was the one the writer took down.....




Edit: Probably bullshit and they're just fuckin with you guys :smoke::biglaugh:...

Nah......something about a teenager talking about "their life" .....ya know? :smoke:

I know the story....been there :smoke:.....nothing compared to what happens(ed) next 20 years though :smoke:...


Edit: "Memoirs" are not really for late teens/early/mid 20's individuals imo :smoke::biglaugh: I like character....I think she's an okay actress.....but...character doesn't seem enough of a stretch to include her in the company of rest of show as far as acting.....(ie: she's playing herself.......:smoke:.....not like she's straight playing an addict....or British actor playing a member of street crew or cop, etc :smoke:....)

I think Jamie Hector (Marlo)also quite lacking.....not impressive...

Okay....I have a question for any fanatics like me :smoke: :biglaugh: (That's why I always watch em twice.......very easy to miss something... ...)

Did it actually show McNulty biting the corpses?, or is that end end of #52 where he sets up the body, steps back, takes a drink and they fade out? (ie: He needs a drink before he bites the dead guy on the ass :biglaugh:......)

Didn't read the thread because I just started season 2, but I have one comment.

Anyone else notice a higher number of gay references in this show than most? Omar and Greggs are both gay, and it seems like while most shows make a point to include lots of titties, good looking women, ect, this show likes to show you a penis or stringer taking off his shirt.

I could care less, but it does piss me off that I've had to see Ziggy's one eyed monster TWICE in season 2 so far (on episode 5).

I agree, wholeheartedly, and, grateful to the person who turned me onto it.


And, should be noted for people who start watching initially: VERY "content rich" as far as dialogue goes, so, if your a talker, or, you know talkers, best to watch it alone because you get up?, you miss something. You grab something to drink. You miss something. You sneeze. You miss something. One of my favorite things about it actually. Hard to be "bored". Too much info and a fairly rapid pace.

Most accurate show I've ever seen....

I agree, too much can't be said about it.
Julian , wassup broseph?
i couldnt agree more, if someone starts to talk when even a rerun is rolling, its :dueling:
how ya liking the press angle? to me, so far so good. I got my bubble and blue mountain capuccino ready for action....

could someone please remind me who Bubs sponsor is in real life/////its slippin my mind for some reason. could be dank.
