The Wire hbo

[Julian]

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).

And Snoop too ........(Although you haven't got to that yet....Makes appearance in late S3?...although most are not sure if Snoops a guy or girl to start with ....fuck.,...I wasn't to tell the truth ...and then no indication of gay until later on in S4 ....

I don't remember that...(Ziggy, S2.....) I know full frontal of Omar in S4,...Greggs and Girlfriend going at it S3/S4?.....but, never thought about it........like life....(I think most of us know more than we think (People who are gay.... )

Middle of S2 huh? .......only gets better and better as it goes on.....a lot say 4 the best.....some say 3.....lot say 2 the worst, but...Actually.....2 was really, really underrated.....and, people saw later that everything in 2 was relevant later on.....(Russians and Vondas in S4 and S5....etc....funny clip of Sobatka (sp?) in S5 also ....)

McNulty For the win!

I love the show. I seen 4th season first than 1st 2nd and now im at third....
Any info on how many seasons do they mean to make.... dont want this to end!?

 

[Julian]

Season 5 is not only last one...............but will only be 10 episodes....usually 13 I think.......(hoping for a 2hr finale.....)

Edit/Notes:

1.Writers have supposedly stated they will address everything and leave nothing open (ie: Soprano's..........and possibly Randy and Cheese, Bodies, etc....)

2.McNulty is off the fuckin hook...(watch...coming up shortly .....)

There is also a new show coming on today AMC which I'm going to check out "Breaking Bad"...about high school chemistry teacher falls on tough times and starts making meth with an ex student who was busted .....hopefully I'll have another show....I really don't have too many I watch...Soprano's over....Wire over in 6-7 weeks.....Weeds?....eh.......yeah, but, lacking .....)

Anyway......

Michael Williams (Omar) interview from New York mag.


Who is Michael K. Williams?

He plays Omar Little, perhaps one of the most intriguing criminals I’ve ever seen portrayed.

He’s a bad man, to be sure. But he is his own man, absolutely. Completely unafraid to take on the biggest, baddest men in Baltimore — Marlo Stanfield, Prop Joe, the Barksdales — but not by standing up to them, just by doing to them what he does to everyone else. Sticking them up with his shotgun.

That scene where he held up the poker game that Marlo was playing in last season was fabulous. Here was big bad Marlo, metaphorically caught with his pants down and embarrassed by it.

Did I mention that Omar’s gay?

As I said, Omar’s a pretty intriguing guy.

One thing I did not know — Williams is responsible for one of my other favorite characters on the show. he discovered Felicia “Snoop” Pearson.

"We met in a local bar in Baltimore; she had just come home from prison [for attempted murder]. And, man, I just had this feeling. Something told me to get in on her life — God told me to be a part of her life. I was like, “Jesus Christ, they dumped you on the streets of Baltimore as a little girl to fend for yourself? And you are still alive?!” I was like, “Baby girl, whatever you want, if I can help you get it, you gon’ get it.”

Williams, it turns out, had a pretty rough run of it in his teens — “drugs, rehab, all that crap” — but pretty much got his life together in his early 20s, going to community college, working for a pharmaceutical company and then got all inspired by Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation. He ended up appearing in a whole bunch of music videos, apparently.

And from what he had to tell New York mag about Season 5, we should basically expect the final nine episodes to be as intense as the season opener was a week ago.

"It’s really dark and explosive. Everyone’s off the hook; no one trusts anyone. Everyone questions the way things are operating on the street level, in the police department, in the newsroom. Like McNulty, he’s way off the hook this year. He’s doing things that are totally outrageous, questioning authority, and trying to find the truth. He goes way off the deep end this year."

But one thing he wants is for The Wire to really resonate with people.

"What I really hope the show’s done is struck a chord with all the hoods in all the cities of this country. Because, really, what The Wire is, is an American story, an American social problem. There’s a Wire in every f*****’ city".
