So yeah...
After an eventful New Year's Eve, I spent all New Year's Day being lazy, catching up on the last episodes of my latest obsession, The Wire. To my surprise, Episode #51 (the 5th season's premiere) was available On-Demand. I have no idea why HBO does that, but I couldn't help myself and had to watch it. Although the episode was somewhat uneventful overall, a lot of seeds were planted to ensure that this final season will "serve" us with a lot of action.
If you haven't seen the premiere, don't read further!
McNulty's fallen out of love and back to being angry and drunk...
And I admit it, I'm so glad to have him back!
Herc is working with Barksdale's lawyer?!?... I'm not really sure what he's doing, but I think it will be pivotal down the line...
Marlo's acting up in the co-op... I foresee him and Cheese having issues- TICALLLL.
I still love Chris and Snoop!
And I can't wait to find out why Chris is researching Sergei...
Slim Charles? Besides Omar, he might be my favorite character.
Unfortunately, Carcetti has proven to be a hypocrite, choosing the future of his career over Baltimore's citizens.
Omar didn't make an appearance... When will he return? And in what capacity?
Michael is my dude. This is HIS season. Too bad he's so young, smh... I love him.
Guess who caught a big promotion?! Carver... oh boy.
R.I.P. Bodie... we miss you and still can't believe you're gone. (I love him too).
The Wire is easily one of the best shows on television right now. I completely admire the writers' ability to delve into important topics like law enforcement, education and now, the media. Adding all the daily inter-workings of a newspaper staff into the plot is much better than the docks were in season two, and just like I thought about being an investigator (in S1), a politician, and then a teacher (in S4), I now get my thirst for writing quenched.
Here we go... I fucking love this show.
