You’re retarded. Michael had been molested by his piece of shit stepdad and didn’t know how to react to a father figure trying to encourage and teach him (and Chris doesn’t count, as he was a more silent drill sergeant/older brother vibe). Cutty overheard the boys talking about him seeming homo because he cared about them, so his comment to Michael was overcompensation because he didn’t want Michael to think he was a gay groomer or some shit.
--- 183073107
>>183072844
>Michael had been molested by his piece of shit stepdad
thats never made clear, its possible Michael was the aggressor who raped or at the very least seduced his stepdad making the stepdad the real victim here. Things arent always black and white, if you're going to watch something as deep and well thought out as The Wire you should try paying attention to stuff beyond the surface level.

I've actually grown to like Earle's rushed, exasperated version for season five, I correlate it with Simon and Co.'s irritation with both the rushed season schedule and the fact that people continually ignored the messages they were trying to convey.

Hamsterdam is a real thing in shitholes outside of the United States and other developted functional countries. It's just that usually its not really intentional, its more that a neighbourhood degenerates through drug use and eventually criminals actually set up the open air drug market in a way the less-than-functional police and judicial system of the third world shitholes they live in can't do much about it.

The serial killer subplot was goofy, but hamsterdam was equally implausible. Really season 5 was the perfect capstone to the show. The way the final Marlo investigation and bust impacted the lives of nearly every character on the show was perfectly in line with the show’s overarching theme.

I like the woman in this scene, where do I know her from?
--- 183079203
>>183079028
Definitely. Once Marlo became a wealthy real estate tycoon, he began studying criminal justice and forensics as a hobby at Baltimore CC, same school Luther took economics classes at. Originally Marlo began studying forensics as a hobby, and to find out how Baltimore PD shut down his drug operation he began as a teenager, but he began to take a genuine interest in detective and police work, the other side of the game so to speak.

>>183079203
2/2
Throwing himself in to his college studies, Marlo began ignoring his real estate empire, and Levi, who was managing his finances, screwed Marlo out of his property and even his clean laundered Bahamas bank accounts.
With nothing left, Marlo found himself broke and homeless. He could have tried to become a drug lords again, but instead chose to apply for the Baltimore PD so he could begin an honest life as a detective who specializes in tracking down drug trafficking networks and gangs.
--- 183079398
>>183079307
They teased us that it was going to, only to subvert expectations and rob us of it ever happening again in the same episode. That actor who plays Bodie is only good at playing gangsters and can't do anything else.

The lunch scene in the season 4 finale might be my favorite scene in the whole series
--- 183079457
>>183079330
>>183079203
I'm glad Marlo is trying to do the right thing. But he's going to need help from Wallace, who faked his death with the help of Bodie and Poot to get off Luther's radar and went back to his ancestral home in Africa where he learned to hone his body and mind. After faking his death again, he has now returned to Baltimore and is back to dismantle the very game that took all his friends away from him, including Dee.

newsroom because I really don't care for journos, it was kind of interesting though because it teased at the hellscape we have now where people print stuff regardless of veracity just to get eyeballs on it

--- 183081065
>>183080965
He makes things happen and knows how to game the system to a certain extent, but ultimately becomes a liability the longer things go on. The Mcnulty/Lester teamup in S5 was kino because Lester was able to cover for a lot of McNulty's flaws.

--- 183081161
>>183080965
they do a pretty good job of keeping him in the background for season 4 and maybe even a bit of 2. It was good that they were so confident in their cast that they could shelve the "MC" like that. Ultimately the reason McNulty was even there in season 1 is probably largely because they needed a white protagonist to get peopled hooked before they did a bait and switch
--- 183081235

Colvin and Weebey coming to an understanding and just laying it all out was pure kino
--- 183082039
It's funny how they keep insisting white people never vote for a black candidate knowing what happens two years later
--- 183082121
>>183082039
I don't recall this in the show, but they did make a point that Carcetti's fight would be uphill because of Baltimore's large black population and the ministers being behind Royce
--- 183082190
>>183082121
Carcetti's campaign manager, the black guy, brought it up once as a joke I think. The context was black people would vote for a white guy if it was the right one but whites would never vote black

for me, it's Michael's mom
--- 183083344
>yeah, that happened
--- 183083352
season 6 was gonna be about the latino side of baltimore, like season 2 was about the white working class down at the port. Just didn't happen

it's one of like the 5 good tv shows
--- 183083937
>>183083883
the wire, sopranos, breaking bad, what else am I missing?
flight of the conchords?
I thought boardwalk was shit before anyone brings that up
--- 183083960
>>183083937
twin peaks, mad men
--- 183083974
>>183083960
aye they're pretty great
never finished twin peaks, need to get back to that
--- 183084012
>>183080105
the show was about the whole infrastructure of baltimore shitting on itself in a big circle, news media should've been a big part of the show
--- 183084028
>>183083960
LOOOOOL
--- 183084144
>>183073412
so it changed
just like poot's dumb point where he says
>oh deez kids is crazier now than ever out here, it's the end times!
sarcastically, but he literally gets run out of the game because of how much more insane Marlo's crew is compared to the Barksdale set
--- 183084286
>>183084144
Barksdales tortured a boy to death in the first season. Marlo's was just violent in a different way because they killed way more people indiscriminately
--- 183084430
>>183080037
Both were pure kino. Only modwits get filtered by that stuff
--- 183084466
>>183084286
That faggot was part of the game though. He literally fucking robbed them. When did the barksdales ever shot and killed citizens for no reason at all?
--- 183084474
>>183084012
And it wasn't, it was only a (distractingly) big part of the final season

>>183084286
>different way
right, it got more fierce and thus the game changed
Avon and Stringer couldn't live down that ONE torture of a stick up boy, Marlo tortured a generally respected and neutral party, Butchie, and not only never faced any consequences for it, but also successfully killed Omar afterward which was the plan for BOTH instances of torture, but the Barksdales couldn't pull it off when they tried
--- 183084756
I sometimes wonder if Butchie was actually psychic
--- 183085323

this is the most schizo post I've seen in awhile

imagine lester trying to follow the money in the crypto age
--- 183086445
>>183073430
It's extremely good. Just a fair warning that the show has a rotating cast of characters, each season focuses on different parts of the city of baltimore so the cast changes frequently
--- 183086512
>>183086445
Don't over exaggerate it, every main character stays the same unless they die, they just add in new ones every season.
--- 183086565
>>183080037
Both were some of the most boring shit in TV history
--- 183086873
>>183080965
fuck you Mcnutty is the GOAT
--- 183086985
>>183086512
they definitely lose focus, Prezbo is basically non-existent in season 5 and mcnulty is sidelined for 2/5 seasons
the only character that really was around for all 5 seasons is probably bubbles
--- 183087022
>>183072710
owned lmao
--- 183087111
>>183086512
Many characters that were important in previous seasons either hardly exist or have their roles changed
--- 183087165
>>183086985
Daniels and Kima and Lester and Herc and Carver never lose prominence, Bunk becomes more central as the series goes on
McNulty sits out most of season 4 because the actor was doing a movie or whatever, which is a pretty standard thing to happen with a character for a long-running tv show
It's really just a standard "case of the season" thing like tons of other shows, only the wire adds twice as many main and side characters each time and some of them stick around past their season
Season 2 is the only one where that doesn't happen, but even then Beadie comes back as a recurring side character later
--- 183087221
>>183080965
ANON! MY OFFICE NOW!!
--- 183087336
Cutty's arc in Season 3 was kino. Scenes with him after were boring.
