Great, I've recently started watching the show marathon style, sounds like perfect reading for me!.The purpose of this thread is to discuss The Wire on an episode-by-episode basis.
Good idea, avoid spoilers, common sense, spelled it out right away too.On the recommendation of Harvey, I went out and purchased the first season of The Wire. Having watched and reviewed the first episode, I was intrigued, to say the least. After seeing the second episode, I can safely say that I am hooked. But there's so much going on with the series that I realized I needed to have a place to discuss the show. So I figured I'd set up a thread here to talk about each episode, beginning with the first (with, hopefully, no spoilers).
This way, anyone reading the thread and watching the series for the first time (hopefully) won't be spoiled right away.
Oh for Christ's sake.Just recently started season 5. Without spoilers, this is a show which isn't afraid to kill off anyone.
Honestly since there is such a huge number of minor characters, and really VERY FEW 'main' characters who you would 'think' as unlikely to be killed off, I'm just sitting here waiting for it to happen. Since you're in early season 5 and I'm in late Season 3. Just going to guess that you don't mean any of the not too terribly shocking deaths so far.
"Without spoilers, <spoiler>" is that like your take on "I'm not racist, but <racist comment>"? A lame disclaimer doesn't make it OK.
I don't know, it just seemed like kind of a flippant thing to say that doesn't add anything good to the discussion, so why post it since it is a bit of a spoiler?

Oh fuck it, I give up.Nothing in season 1 plays like a dream. The only thing I can think of being unreal would be what happened after a drunk McNulty crashed his car in front of a diner in season 2. Perhaps the status that Omar and Brother Mouzone had built around them. And Bubbles trip through Hamsterdam one night.
