    Default Anyone watching the final season of 'The Wire'?

    Because it rocks!

    It makes Dexter look like a kid's show, and I loved Dexter! The script, narrative layering and detail is mind-blowing. Top stuff!

    Any other fans out there??

    I'm sad this is the last season. It's been a great ride. Been there since episode 1, season one.

    Just watched the newest (what would be coming up this sundy) on comcast just now. Incredible show. Mcnulty's got himself in sh!t but trying to do right by the rest of the department, which sucks and this reporter's going to get his ass handed to him, which may come back on mcNulty.

    The show really has little to do with acting so much as the authenticity and realism of the actors. It's like they're being, and the show's writing is so good you're just watching from a looking glass. Incredible stuff.

    I'm rewatching season 1 as this season unravels, and it is amazing the little nods to the first season's script David Simon works in.

    I'm not 100% sure about Steve Earle's cameo though. Can the guy act.

    Templeton and McNulty's bullshit will be unravelled now that Gus has discovered Templeton's 'shellfish' story was a load of crap. He's going to be watching him like a hawk from now on.

    Is what I think...

    Think Marlo will man up and meet Omar 1 on 1? Will McNultey finally get
    caught and self destruct?

    At the press conference in last night's show, the dockworker who the cops arrested - was that the main guy from Season 2?

    I'm too lazy to google. Well that and I have about 32 tabs already open.

    I reckon Marlo will finish Omar, and never actually have to face him. It would be in keeping with the 'Good guys always get fucked-over' -vibe.

    Marlo's too much of a bitch-ass dick-suck to ever man up to Omar without Chris and Snoop behind him.

    YES IT WAS!. That's the kind of detail that is so great about this show.

    EDIT: The homeless guy with the beard and the dog is also a recurring character. Wasn't the the dockworker?
    The same thing happened with the hooker in the second episode of this season, in Bubbles's support group. She was in season 3 buying crack, I think.
