  • Beard...goatee...whatever...I'VE BEEN VINDICATED!!!

    Man, this episode was amaaaaaaaaaaaazing. Marlo's shook.The only time I've ever seen him lose his cool!

    Is it me or is Freamon the only real hero on this show? I'm scared/sad for McNulty.
    why isnt mcnutty a hero? he threw his career away to try to take down a drug lord?

    why didnt mike and dook just get out of town?

    At one time or another, I'd categorize all of the following as heroes. Or at least to have acted like or had certain personal properties of one. You could make arguments for a lot more too.

    last I checked that was known as a goatee, my friend.

    A goatee is a type of beard. (that is, last I checked)

    Or is it simply a mustache with company?

    Yeah, you're right. I'm just saying that with the exception of playing into McNulty's scandal, he's been straight up the whole time. Honest (for the most part), good-hearted, hard-working...you know.

    And Bubbles should take Dookie in. They could open their own business star in a sitcom together!

  • Damn, that shit was heart-wrenching.

    Seriously. What a great episode.

    ummm.im happy for namond too, but can we leave him off the hero shortlist?

  • Plus, as far as I can remember, Lester never wronged anybody.

    I think it takes a lot of guts to take the high road instead of the corner. Some might disagree. But sure.

  • is dookie a junky now? Is the dude he was collecting scraps for the one that was in the alley?

    plus i realised.. As great as a character Marlo is.. the jail scene was only like his third time he had any dialogue.

    And FUCK KIMA! Stop snitching.......

  • kima fell the fuck off, but i dont see how it wouldnt have blown up regardless.
    lester is valiantly playing chess and shoring up vulnerabilities, but its gonna be real tough.
    so many great scenes. gus and the vet, levy snoop and odog, prison scene, lester and marlo in the playground, snoop and mike in the car,bubbz at NA,

    i was getting alllll anxious right before they raided the warehouse.knew what was coming, but.....just had to be sure


    what the fuck was up with the cop scratching the shit out of himself???
    why is non of the evidence admissable in court? arent the patriot acts good for anything?

  • and did kenard already get this money????

  • is dookie a junky now? Is the dude he was collecting scraps for the one that was in the alley?

    Yup. A few pages back I thought....

    DOOKIE BECOMES BUBBLES HAULING SCRAP, NOT STRINGER BELL AS PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED

  • fit has hit the shan!


    location test

  • Oh and anybody else catch the return of Prez? Odub called that one.

    Not too surprising in cameo season. Auggie Polk was a fun season 1 & 2 shoutout.

    Yeah, that's what I figured. I hope him and Dookie cross paths again.

    Speaking of cameos, did you guys catch the lazy ass cop from Season 1 working the evidence room?

    "It's better than working."

    Predictions for the final ep. ?


    Lester vs Levy - Will Levy discover the truth, or will Lester find evidence to connect him to the money? The race is on, who will win?


    McNulty either gets exposed and goes crazy/suicidal. Or the one I prefer, he gets quietly kicked out, and is happier for it (like he was when he was just working foot patrol).


    Marlo gets out - kills lots of people, inc Michael and or Dookie
    or
    Marlo goes down, Slim Charles and Michael take over.


    Prezbo saves Dookie. Yay!




    It all hangs on whether or not the truth of the Marlo/Homeless investigation comes out or not. If not then all the good things can happen. If it goes public, then it's all fuct.


  • Man, I am amped up. Ready to keep a vigil at 12 midnight on Sunday!

    - Marlo throws joints!

    - Slim Charles!

    (I wonder if the whole, "I wasn't built to run my own shop" thing he said at the coop meeting is gonna come back... Slim as the new Joe?)

    - Prezbo & Dukie, reunited? Seems sad tho...

    - Do we see Michael again?





    As far as 59....



    HOW MY HURR LOOK MAN.






    So dope.

    HOW MY HURR LOOK MAN.





    It look good, girl.

    BLAM



    I didn't think I'd be so touched by that scene but I was.

    As was the look of pride on Colvin's face as he watched Namond drop science on AIDS in Africa.

    the scene with Michael and Dukie talking in the car and Michael can't remember buying the ice cream.

    Touching as a parting scene but that dialogue was just maudlin.

    That was awesome.

    I shed a little tear during Bub's Emmy moment at the meeting.

    That scene with Clay and Lester having a drink was like the entire series in a nutshell -- so cool seeing Davis level with Freamon.

    The last two episodes have redeemed all of the somewhat half-baked plot points in this season. Not that it was that bad but it's gotten a lot better the past two weeks.
