Re: Ok im late I know The Wire

Been watching a lot of Boardwalk Empire as of late. Great show but everytime I am watching Michael K. Williams I can't stop thinking of



Every character in television has been ruined because of Omar. Oh, indeed.

We know who is going to win though. Oh, indeed.

Also, Bodie over Marlo? Don't know about that. Bubs was robbed on his ranking as well.

Re: Ok im late I know The Wire

Umm. Bodie and Marlo are West Baltimore, along with Stringer and Wee-Bay....FAIL Grantland. Prop Joe and Cheese are East Baltimore people (not the ports), along with all of Prop Joe's Crew. Probably throw that snake of a lawyer into the East too.

Lie the idea, but so poorly executed.

I thought it was obvious that they sort of randomly assigned guys to different conferences to even it out a bit. The ports would get slaughtered if Ziggy, Sobotka, Serge, The Greek, Horseface, Nick etc. were all that they had there and it'd be boring because better characters would get left out of the 32 person tournament. This way is actually better. The conference names are pretty much arbitrary, but were picked because of their affiliation with the show and not the individual characters.

Question for everyone... who got snubbed making the 32, and who got in that shouldn't?

Keeping replacements close, I'd definitely get rid of Serge and replace him with Spiros or the Greek (I loved Spiros for some reason). I also like Randy over Dukie. Carver over Herc. Nick over Ziggy. I'm not surprised no one from the print media made it, but I'd choose Gus if they needed a representative. Finally, Kenard should have made it both for what he represented and for his importance to the show.

Considering you posted those Brother Mouzone videos I thought you'd give him the upset over Bunk. Also, I'm shocked ANYONE would pick Greggs over Marlo. Bodie I can see, but not Kima.

Bodie, Marlo, and Stringer are my three favorite characters ever. So, having them in the same division was tough. Any other bracketing and they'd be in my final 4.

Re: Ok im late I know The Wire

Oh ****, it was actually supposed to be Marlo > Kima, not sure why I did the opposite LOL.

Re: Ok im late I know The Wire

saw the final 4, agree with Omar and Stringer, but I'd have put in Bubbles over McNulty and Prop Joe over Avon myself.

Yeah agree with Prop Joe over Avon. He was able to setup the coop and I think did more for the show than Avon did and played the game smarter. He even won the Annual basketball game for West B'more, haha.

I'm iffy on Bubbles over McNulty, I think McNulty was the main catalyst on almost all the cases and was the one with the most balls to go against the bosses and really police a case.

Lol, yeah it jumped the gun. Sorry.

I like those snubs. What about Prez? He figured out the code and also was pretty big in the lives of the kids. Avon's sister was pretty significant on the show too.

McNulty was very important, but I just didn't care about him that much. It didn't really matter to me when he got his life in order, and it didn't matter when he went back to his old ways.

With Bubs I was very invested in his story.
