Ok im late I know, The Wire

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

Just re watched the episode where Mike kills snoop and takes bug to his aunts house. The scene where he drops off Dukie with the dope fiends has got to be one of the saddest parts of this show for me. Man, Dukie was trying to share some memories with Mike, but I guess Mike didn't want to be associated with a future addict.

More like (IMO) Dukie was trying to hold on to their child hood and Mike was way past all that already. No time for kid stuff given the choices that he made and would continue to make going forward.

Also if anyone has HBO, the series streaming on HBOGo is now the digitally remasterd HD version as well.

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

Man randy got screwed over. Became just another kid lost in the system

I see Randy being the next Poot. He eventually comes to realize he's not bout that life.

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

I saw Randy as a drug dealer as in a Prop Joe, kid was a hustler.

-Bought candy from the koreans sold to kids and even changed shirts to go to different grades and also sold to people on the corners. Even convinced Prez to buy him cheaper candy with his credit card. "Buy for a dollar sell for two"

-Offered a "proposition" to get out of trouble like when he told about the murder to the principal.

-Good with numbers ie crap games

-He was well liked by most people until he snitched.

I saw all the kids as someone else in the show.

Dukie - Bubblez
Randy- Prop Joe
Michael - Omar
Namond - Bunk
Kenard - Marlo/Chris

Very Sad news!,He was very overweight,I would never have known he had no acting experience!

He played Prop Joe with such class,i was very impressed with his portrayal and how he made Prop joe come across so wise,and inteligent yet so powerfull!...

R.I.P Prop Joe

"Do tell"

I found this out only today. Surprised it garnered such little attention in this thread. It might have gotten by others too.

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

I don't know what made me think about it, but Namond pissed me off. That kid is a b****

Initially, but he turned the corner significantly.

Also, with his mom it was no wonder why he was the way he was.

News on the Blu Ray DVD set...

In the six years that have passed since the conclusion of the HBO[emoji768] series The Wire, the critically acclaimed drama has turned into a worldwide phenomenon that has been hailed as “the best show in the history of television” by MSNBC. This summer, the series will make its highly anticipated debut on Blu-ray disc for the very first time. The 20-disc box set featuring all 60 episodes of the hit series in a stunningly re-mastered 16×9 full-screen HD format is showcased with newly redesigned box art. The Wire: The Complete Series on Blu-ray with Digital HD ($199.99) is loaded with an exciting slate of bonus materials, including four behind-the-scenes documentaries, three prequels that explore life before The Wire, and an all-new cast and crew Q&A from the Paley Center for Media’s The Wire reunion event. The Wire: The Complete Series on Blu-ray with Digital HD will be in stores June 2, 2015 – just in time for Father’s Day and summer binge watching – and is a must-have for all TV connoisseurs!

The Wire depicts an American urban dystopia, framed in our time, in which easy distinctions between good and evil and crime and punishment are challenged at every turn. In five successive seasons, the series depicts a Baltimore in which institutional prerogatives, economic inequalities and a brutalizing drug war confound the efforts to advance the city and its people. The series’ first season lays out the futility of the drug war, while the second highlights the deindustrialization and the death of the working class. The third season introduces the city’s political culture and lays out the forces that stand in the path of actual reform. The fourth season addresses the educational system and the actual opportunities that remain to coming generations. The fifth and final season examines the media culture and its role in perpetuating the status quo. Amid all of this, carefully drawn characters on both sides of the law and from a variety of Baltimore cultures move forward as best they can, human to a flaw, struggling against a system that seems weighted against civic progress.

I finished watching this series for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It definitely lived up to the hype.

Re: Ok im late I know, The Wire

This is one HBO show that I still have not seen. I have had the Bluray set for a few weeks, what does the show compare to? I've heard nothing but great things and a few times I wanted to watch it but said screw the 4:3 aspect ratio and just wait for the BD set.
