OPINION The Wire - A Hindsight Discussion

[Infamous114]

I’m listening to van jones and jemelle hill recap the series...never noticed Kenard is in this scene saying it’s his turn to be Omar

You mean Van Lathan lol

 

[Eastbay510]

You mean Van Lathan lol

yeah I always get them mixed up

I did but just wrote it off

She said the writers didn’t even notice the connection they made until afterwards when they were looking for who was gonna kill Omar

I still hated the way Omar went out though

Season 2 gets shitted on way too much, just finished it and that shit is great. Is it great as Season 1 or 3? No. But it's still good on its own

 

[PhenomTheMac]

You need season 2 to open the show up beyond the usual cops and robbers show.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Season 2 may be my favorite season

 

[Chi-Town B]

Season 2 is boring but it's way better than the trash that is season 5

 

[Infamous114]

Stringer really outsmarted himself getting Omar involved in trying to eliminate Brother Mouzone. Did he really think Omar would trust him with everything that's gone on between them?

I still feel bad for ziggy dumb ass but idk why. He deserved everything.

 

[GNS]

Fuck ziggy
No marley

 

[itsupthere]

One of the dopest shows ever. Ever!!

 

[Infamous114]

I listen to The Wire: Way Down in the Hole Podcast with Jemele and Van Lathan after every episode. I like the way they break down shit

Kinda wild to see the type of mistakes Stringer made. Dude thought Marlo could be reasoned with. Miscalculated in that arena just like he did with Politics/Business with Senator Davis

How did Stringer not know something was up on that balcony with Avon when Avon asked when and where the meeting would be. That might be scene of the season

Didn't Stringer give up where the meeting was at himself he should have been suspicious about Avon wanting to know the time. All Omar needed was the location anyway, dude used to staking out places for hours

 

[Mafuzzychef]

reason season 2 couldn’t be trash

“He knows my name but my name is not my name....I’m not even Greek”

I know this scene ain’t from season 2 but they was constantly dropping game.

Herc is the villain of Season 4. Ruined Randy's life. Ruining Bubble's life. He took so many L's this season.

maybe he felt avon was gonna finally come to understand what he was trying to do and wanted to see for himself.

Herc failed up through all his fuck ups and that is pretty typical for people like him

 

[DMorgan]

That is the way I always saw it as well.

 

[Chi-Town B]

I don't know, String had let it be known he had D'Angelo killed and had already put in motion of getting Avon locked up so who cares if Avon came to understand since Avon wasn't gonna be around anymore. String was supposed to be the smart one but he was real dumb those last few episodes he was in
