Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

IIRC, the Omar jump scene was based on a true story from one of the characters Omar was constructed from.

I may be wrong, but I thought the Writers Strike had something to do with how Season 5 turned out. Not sure.

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

I have All The Pieces Matter waiting on me to finish season 5 before I start reading it - hopefully that'll offer some more insight into the season. A part of me sees Gus at the Sun as a stand-in for Simon, but that's just a feeling I have and nothing else.

Not many spoilers in there. Mostly just interviews, stories on how things came together (and fell apart, but then also came together again) for the show. Hell of a read though to hear from all the people involved with the show.

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

We *finally* finished season 5 and I've started on All The Pieces Matter. I've only read the first chapter or so which basically covers getting Simon to HBO, the casting & crew, and some early, early things.

Season 5 just feels blah the whole time. There's some disappointment there and with the finale, but it's whatever at this point. Like season 4 the last couple of episodes felt rushed into place to get the pieces to fit where they needed to.

I'm taking my sweet time, but I'm down to the final season.

Season 4 was incredible. Lived up to the hype and then some.

This starts today. Figure I’ll do a rewatch to go along with it
