The Wire

[shorebird]

the reason it works is because we all hate it...that little pos killing him is infuriating....but its better than having some cheesy showdown on a dark street btwn omar and marlo...its why the wire is so much better than everything else

I didn't hate it, thought it was quite fitting, that was pretty much the only way anyone was gonna' get him, the unexpected.

i get that having a final showdown would be against everything the wire is.

but to have some random kid come in and pop him just is bullshtein.  have it him get popped by some dude who gets lucky during one of his robberies, or don't finish his story at all and we can all assume that he's still robbing dealers.

Always thought a cool final scene would have been Omar walking down an alley whistling farmer in the del

that would have been amazingly cheesy and not something simon would have ever done

Is that Omar's voice in the new McDonalds breakfast radio commercials? Sounds just like him.

Since there was no whistling, I'm going to go ahead and assume it was Michael K. Williams, then.

The Wire.....WITH LEGOS!!

Since I haven't watched The Wire, I don't know if this is funny or not.  But for those of you who have, which is pretty much everyone except me, I'm going to decide on whether or not to finally watch it based on your reactions to the video.  If it's funny, then I'll watch The Wire so that I can revisit this video and finally get it.

I too have never watched. Only one clip of a guy saying, "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit"

[SunMo]

turned it off after 30 seconds.  stupid and awful.

Just started watching on HBO GO and am thru only 4 episodes. Maybe it took a little while to get going because while it's been ok, this last episode was the 1st one where I was like "ok... I GOTTA see the next one!".

[phattymatty]

thats how it was for me too...almost stopped watching after the first few but they take a little while to introduce the characters. once you hit that 4-5 episode mark it's on.

[Zanshin]

I'm not evangelical about it, but it's a different kind of show and the pace takes some adjustment. But it's worthwhile TV, for sure.

[phattymatty]

i actually like it less because of this thread.

[Zanshin]

Oh, certainly. I avoided it for years because of this thread.

Pretty sure we all did
