The Wire

ORS-did you see last night's episode?

I just found out the Series Finale won't be On Demand, I have to wait until Sunday-dammit!!

[One Red Seat]

Oh yeah, I watched. I loved the "How my hair look?" from Snoop before taking a lead slug. Priceless. Templeton's up the creek without paddle or boat. Gus has his number. It looked like McNulty was pressuring him for something, so he'll probably be trying to force more made up news with Gus paying full attention.

It will be interesting to see what happens with McNulty. Do they go after him publicly, or do they keep it quiet because it worked and landed them a ton of good press? I'm sure his career is over, but I suspect they may want to keep it quiet because of the results. A send off kind of like what Bunny Colvin got.

Not sure how it will play, but I'd like to see Mike take Marlo out. Marlo's got no muscle now, and he's got to get out and protect his name. He'll be exposed. Get him.

Looks like Dookie will be a casualty to the junk. Sad, but I expected that. He was the weakest of the 4 kids, and this show is about telling it like it really is. I'd actually be upset if all 4 kids made it through those rough streets without a casualty (not literal).

I can't believe there's only 90 minutes left. How do they send it off with so much left open? I know part of the point is that the streets just keep going and going, but I feel like there might be too much left unresolved at the end of this one. We'll see.

Hated to see Snoop go but it was her time. I also loved the exchange between she and Michael "You look good girl" then BOOM.

It was great to see Namond and Bunny. He's obviously the only ONE that makes it out. It tore me up when Michael took Bug to his aunt's and the Dukie situation looks bleak. We'll see Prezbo in the finale but again, appears he won't be able to help.

I'm so afraid the wire tap will be found "illegal" and Marlo walks. Obviously he gets out some how and I'm with you, I hope Michael takes him out. Prop Joe was right when he told Marlo to never use cell phones. That shit never would have happened had Prop Joe still been in charge of the shipments etc.

I love Gus and hope Templeton goes down, will be interesting to see how that all plays out.

How about Freamon getting info from Clay "Shiiiiiiiit" Davis? He's bluffing him b/c the Feds already said they didn't want to try the case. Freamon is a smart dude, love watching him work. Will be interesting to see what happens with he and McNulty. I think you've hit the nail on the head with your predictions.

You are SO right about 90 minutes not being enough. I think they'll wrap it up the best they can, better but in a Soprano's sort of way.

Looking forward to Sunday BIG TIME....the finale and Daylight Savings time begins! YEAH!

Great ending. Mike is the new Omar. Carver the new Daniels. Sydnor the new McNulty. Marlo the new Barksdale - I like how he noticed the development game wasn't his thing unlike Stringer. Dookie the new Bubbles. And round and round it goes. No new Lester Freemon though, so the cops lose out.

Carcetti is just another politician getting elected on false promises and playing the game for higher office - which worked out like in real life. Templeton gets rewarded for lying, and will go on to national spotlight elsewhere while the better journalist gets stuck doing copy editing like Gus. On and on it goes.

Can't believe it's over. Aren't these guys doing something new relatively soon? I'll be tuning in.

It was a great ending! Glad they stuck to reality and didn't try to "mush things up" which I never expected they'd do.

Again, you hit the nail on the head. Everything just goes on, just new people filling old roles. Loved Slim taking Cheese out "for Joe".

Daniels wanted to try to do the right thing with the Police Dept but couldn't.

Not sure when they'll be doing something new. But I can't wait!

I feel like watching it all over again from the beginning. There is SO MUCH CRAP on TV now. I like Lost a lot. But thank God baseball is right around the corner.
