I think that is the nature of the beats (edit -- it was a typo, not an intended pun, but since it is a cop show, I'm leaving it in as a pun), really... as they have decided to have a new focus every season (more or less) they have to decide whether to completely leave characters behind, or to make token ways to keep them involved. I'm glad they are choosing ways to do the latter, by and large -- but I am probably more immersed even than the average Wire fan. To me, it's the minor plotlines like Bubbles (a guy who really isn't directly related to the main cops-and-robbers plots) that give the show so much extra depth -- to me, keeping him as a guy we follow is a great way to provide some different perspectives on the issues from the street.
