The Wire is always worth rewatch...Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit<br /><br />The Wire is always worth rewatching because the second time around you get to notice a lot of details, and how it's all about repeating themes.<br /><br />Examples:<br />Freamon at the end goes home to Shardene, the stripper/informant from season 2.<br /><br />The girl who talks first at the NA meeting in season 5 was a hooker in season 3.<br /><br />Michael is the new Omar, Dukie is the new Bubbles, Sydnor is the new McNulty (going to Phelan), Kima is the new Bunk.<br /><br />The final crime scene/chalk drawing where Kima is at the end, is where William Gant (the first Barksdale witness that Bird killed) died.<br /><br />And don't forget Cheese getting what he had coming from Slim for selling out Prop Joe.<br /><br />It looks like Carcetti made Governor and Rawls made Superintendent. Valchek made commissioner because he has seniority and has the support of the Poles, which I assume were the non-black majority.The Pretenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344696445428286985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14743225.post-3482088695374232262009-08-07T17:46:34.114+08:002009-08-07T17:46:34.114+08:00First off, if you haven't read this, I think y...First off, if you haven't read this, I think you might enjoy it:<br /><br />http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/09/what-do-real-thugs-think-of-the-wire/<br /><br />You forgot about Bunk. But I guess there really isn't much to say.<br /><br />I know he was less of an overall character, but I liked Bunny Colvin. He just couldn't work with the demands and resources given to him, so he gave Hamsterdam a try. I also liked how he ended up taking in Wee-Bay's son in the end with success. He played two different roles in Seasons 3 and 4. I enjoyed his character and performance. <br /><br />Michael became the new Omar, and Dukie became the new Bubbles! Talk about a cycle. It was really gratifying to see Bubbles not only kick the habit, but to become re-accepted by his sister. <br /><br />ShiiiiiiiiiiiiiiietJustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582464588215686589noreply@blogger.com
