    Re: The Wire-Season 5

    Just got done. I was hoping for more. Episode 9 was the best of the season. It was a decent season but it really didn't add much to the first four. I'm kind of schocked it's over now...I just wish it could have been as good as the previous four seasons.

      Just saw it. It was more a question then anything. On another note will the series finale be more than an hour? Will Rawl's possible homosexuality be revealed??

      I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT MAN!

        I know the issue came up in the first season as well...It was just a question I had that somewhat pertained to the finale, but also to the series overall...I just wanted to be safe and put spoiler tags around it for whoever hasn't seen the finale.

          Based on my on screen guide, tonight's finale will be 1 hour 35 minutes.

            You are right but that goes back to one of the first things they said with this series.

            "The game stays the same."

            Which is a true statement in real situations. That was the only way that they could've really ended the series given that you can walk around west bmore right and think that you are in the wire.

              Yeah I'm not surprised by how everything went, I pretty much expected it to end with everyone being replaced. I actually thought it was cool to see who was filling the new roles.

              I liked the Cheese part too, Slim Charles was a great character.

              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                      In a nutshell a very satisfying ending to a great show.

                        I gotta agree.

                        Michael's situation at the end was my favorite. He's always been my favorite character, so I'm happy for the way his story ended.

                          Question about Mike. I know he's going the route of Omar, but is he really going the route of Omar all the way. I don't think he is but my boy's are saying that his history set him up to go down that path and the fact that he'll be living in the shadows with his boy(s) that he's robbing with is only going to make it worse. What do you guys think?

                            He definitely seems to be going full-Omar style.

                            The lines "I'm thinking some of that money should be mine" and "That's just a knee" sounded so much like Omar that I could've been looking away from the screen, heard those and thought he had come back.

                              Agreed. It was weird seeing a series as great as this one end with so little of the recognition and fanfare it deserves. While I hate the racial overtones that seem to be the one thing keeping The Wire from receiving it's due, this review of Season 4 by Stephen King always makes me feel good that there were many people that "got it":



                              As finales go, this was a very nice way to end it. No overhyped-but-ultimately-disappointing Sopranos, Seinfeld, Friends, etc. finale. It'll be missed - going to have to change my sig at some point
                              HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

                                Yeah definitely Omar's lines, didn't think they would make him a full fledged Omar. Got to say seeing Weebay and Chris in the yard was the highlight for me. The two most dangerous men in B-more hanging together.
