dammit, I'm going to be traveling M-F for work for the next few months. Tried to talk the woman into watching the new episodes at like 6am Monday mornings but that didn't fly. :) Anyone know exactly when the new eps are available? 12:01 Monday morning? Gonna have to watch them on Friday night or Saturday. Still ahead of those slackers w/out on demand but sucks.

It looks like Marlo can pose a bigger threat to Omar than Barksdale did and I can't wait to see what happens there. Even more bodies are gonna be dropping and I think Lester is going to figure out how marlo's hiding them soon.

This week is going to be good for me and TV with the Wire heating up and Lost starting on Wed!


I wonder why Prop Joe told Omar about the card game, after he made a deal with Marlo. Maybe it was to show Marlo that not everyone is scared of him.


It was because Marlo would NOT make a deal with Joe. Marlo still didn't want to help and lend muscle to Joes co-op. Marlo saw no reason to help them fight off the competition in east baltimore, and Prop Joe told him it would be wise to have the co-op looking out for Marlo incase anyone fvcks with him. Thats when Marlo said bluntly "Nobody fvcks with me" and ended the discussion. So Joe decided to have Omar teach him a lesson.

The Wire and Deadwood are, hands down, the two best series on TV.

The man behind The Wire also created Homicide: Life On The Street, one of THE BEST major network series ever.

Homicide came out the same season as NYPD Blue. Athose lemmings with remotes flocked to NYPD because, I guess, they showed <gasp> man butt, but Homicide was the better show by a country furlong.

And NYPD fanbois,please don't counter with Sipowicz (sic), he was a straight steal from Hill Street Blues, the 2nd best major network police procedural series ever.

I'm thinking that Omar is going to realize that Joe set him up and come after him.

I thought Marlo and Joe made a deal b/c after Marlo said "Nobody fraks with me" he extended his hand and shook Joe's hand. I guess that was just to say we are cool, but no co-op.

You mean Marlo is going to realize right? Omar wasn't set up.

<omar>Indeed.</omar>

Wait until you guys see the newest episonde!


Prop Joe is gaining from Omar and misleading Marlo. Now Omar is getting framed by Marlo...
When is Lester going to find all the dead players...
It seems like Prez is starting to get some respect or maybe just getting played more..
No McNulty again...

I didn't get to see the latest episode tonight, still no Mcnulty? They showed him chasing down omar in the next week preview I thought. Surprisingly I'm really into the mayor race more than anything right now, but they need more Mcnulty and more Omar!

What happened to the Wire for tonight? I was all set to watch a new episode but it looks as if a repeat is on tonight?

No The Wire last night. I was very disappointed, got home and was waiting for 10pm. Went to do something really fast and came back at 10:10pm and the Tivo light was not on.
They had The Island playing instead. New episode until next week, that totally sucks.

I actually managed to stumble across the rest of the 4th season, ended up spending Monday and Tuesday watching the rest of the season. I won't give away any spoilers but the last few eps are incredible. The 5th season will be awesome.

So The Wire has been back for last two weeks with new episodes.
Its funny saying Sgt. Hurck running around looking for the camera that Marlo stoled.
I want to know when Homicide will finally find the bodies that Marlo is hiding. In The Wire theme song when the show starts you see a clip of Lester finding the bodies.

The whole Carcetti making Major Daniels a Colonel is confusing. If he is a Colonel he still has to work under Burell and Rawls?

McNulty makes these little cameo appearances acting like a boyscout... What are they going to do with him this season?

I think he is bailing out. McNulty "Dominic West" is like their highest Actor. I think the show is trying to say, its not all about McNulty. He solved his case and its closed; move on to new story line.

Carcetti is going to give Rawls a bump up and Burell is getting kicked to the curb. He doesn't want it to look like he's kicking the black man out and promoting a white man so he's giving Daniels a bump as well.

I can't wait for the bodies to be found either, it's gonna be a friggin sh1tstorm when it happens.

This weeks episode was good and there are only 3 episodes left. There was a lot of stuff for the viewer to figure out and fill in regarding why Michael doesnt like Bugs dad. Some stuff happens with Herc and Bubbles.... It also looks like Randay might be in trouble.

Oh yeah Mcnulty was back!

Edited spoilers out

hscorpio-

You really need to preface you post with a spoiler warning for those that don't have On Demand. You pretty much told the whole episode with no warning whatsoever. That's a dick move.

I meant 3 more episodes left in season 4. It will be back for the fifth and final season.
