I’ll start it off by saying [spoiler]I can’t believe they killed Prop Joe?![/spoiler]
I mean that was just crazy! It came out of nowhere. You could tell things were coming to a boiling point but I didn’t expect it so early. Not only do you have Marlo chasing after Prop Joe’s secrets, he’s also off starting a war with Omar. It’s almost as if he believes he’s the king of Baltimore. My roommates and I sat slack jawed when we saw that. Talk about a final season, they’re not holding anything back!
Last nights “The Wire” (Sunday Nights on HBO at 9pm) was great. There was nothing exceptional but they’re setting the stage for what I hope will be their best (and last) season. I’ve been busy with work so I haven’t had time to keep up with the site but I’m going to make an effort to get back in to posting.
The episode starts off placing everyone where they pretty much left off last season and then we get a new crew to add to the mix which is the news media. You kind of feel that they’re just a bunch of journalists writing articles with no real addition the series and then things start to change. Carcetti realizes that promises aren’t easily kept and things start to fall apart, not only for the mayor but for the police as well.
As McNulty starts his slow fall from grace, Bubbles (Bubbs) starts his slow crawl from the trenches of the street. Players on both sides of the game start to position their chess pieces to get ready for what I hope to be a grand explosion.
