          The Kima scene I remember most is her going to give her extra homicide earnings to her ex and her calling her "Aunt Kima". I hit the Wee-Bey gif right there, I def thought she was about to get her money back lol.

          Marlo is something else. Like Bodie said, dude just does stuff cause he can. Could've had Randy taken out and opts instead just to spread the word about what he did, dude just thrives on chaos and ****ing with people. Respect vs fear I guess. Avon walked across the baseball field in prison, they called time and nobody said anything. King moves where he damn well please. Marlo gets in and they'll just clear the field lol.

            For being a stone cold killer, Wee Bay really is the chillest dude. The fish. Pit beef, rare, EXTRA horseradish.

            Him and Chris are my favorites (since you asked today), makes me wonder about myself...

                Andre is another great secondary character. Explaining the robbery to Bunk:

                "Who put that up there? Guy must've had an elephant gun or something."

                "I don't know. The boy had a mask on."

                "A mask huh? Like Zorro huh?"

                      Underrated scene:





                      It's just so perfectly acted. Cutty was a stone cold killer, fresh off a 15 year bid and he was nervous as hell approaching Avon. By S3, we got familiar with Avon but this scene kinda reaffirms that he was still THAT DUDE in Baltimore.


                      The way Avon and Slim looked at each other and start laughing gets me every time. After seeing these dudes move hundreds of thousands of dollars around for 3 seasons, seeing Cutty go through a damn business plan for 10k is hilarious.


                      There's never been a show better casted than The Wire. Other than Stringer, I can't unsee these characters when the actors/actresses are in other projects.

                        It probably would've been easier to watch it without seeing Idris in everything he's been in. I feel like I'm constantly hearing his accent, throws me off. I think I've just heard him so much it stands out. McNulty sounds fine. Littlefinger Carcetti sounds weird but not so much an accent as just the cadence of his speech.

                          I never really noticed McNulty's "hiccups" until I watched him in The Hour and other stuff.

                          So many great characters. You could make a quality post about all of them and their respective arcs. Each great and fully developed. It is probably as close to literary as TV has gotten.

                            Idris’ Baltimore accent was trash though. Can’t blame him since he’s from England but man, lol

                            Dominic West’s accent was cool though.

                              What struck me about Bodie was how old he seemed and how little he had to live for and he was all of 21/22 years old. His character arc was the fully realized life span of a hopper.
