just watched episode 4..holy shit!! omar vs marlow!! :eek::eek::eek:
I can see why people dont wanna watch the wire..they wanna watch tv for escapism..but the wire is as real as it gets..and it aint pretty.. bubs nephew..with the books..so sad :(:(:(
also its gonna be interestin to see how gregg goes in homicide..
nice article on the wire here: http://www.sptimes.com/2006/10/01/Fl...t_s_not_.shtml
Yeah, I almost peed in my wheelchair when I saw that... It's gonna get N-A-S-T-Y, baby!!!!
I really want Omar to get in Marlow shyt... I don't like Marlow, but I do... (weird)
But Omar is so damn REAL!!!
I think Greggs is gonna do real good... I wonder what up with that lil bright kid... why he jumped outta the coach's van... I'm really proud of the coach (Cutty)!! I can only imagine the way he feels inside about help'n those kids and he actually is!
Chuk,
My guess is the young brother has been abused. He clearly has trust issues with the coach and maybe all black male figures. I would say by the care that takes with his younger brother that he has been molested by a black man who was close to him, probably one of his mother's boyfriends. These scenes seem to be leading up to the reason why he's afraid of the coach. I hope Cutty is able to get through to him--I want those two to become friends if not trainer and trainee.
That article (posted a couple frames up) was right on the money about this not being a hit show because it has too many Black people in it. I agree with that 100%. I can't believe that season two was rated the highest. I think the show has gotten better each season. I've enjoyed it more this season the most already. Last season was very good too.

I think he's just ashamed of his living conditions myself, though he definitely has trust issues.
He's a hell of a lil hustler though... and a boxer... He may be the next Marlow/Avon/Stringer Bell.... Omar?????
I noticed how when his mom asked him how was school he just ignored her... giving a lil credencce to Louis' idea...
Why do you think that Marlow's crew is so interested in having him in the gang?
Ohh, I'm glad Stringer got his head blown off!!! I was starting to hate that dude... At the same time I kinda feel sorry for him cuz he was try'n to get in the high end of the game...
Coz, did you see the part when the two of them were in the gym and Cutty put his arm on the kid's shoulder and he pulled away? That led me to believe molestation.Quote:

But yeah, the way he looks after his younger brother might be a sign that he was molested by one of the boyfriends.Quote:

It doesn't try to paint only a good side and only a bad side of a character, but a mix of both. Then we have to make up our minds whether we like them or not. We have to decide whether they are good or not. That task is tougher than you think when you see all sides of the characters.
When I think of Bubs I think back to when he visited his sister..and was trying to get clean..Andre Royo who is playin him is a genius..yeah hes my fav character..Bubs is based on a real life person.. he was ed burns(the detective) real life informant.. the guy who is playing the priest..he was like the real life stringer bell that ed burns caught on the wire..now hes out of jail and on his tv show! and that snoop? character ..she was a serious bad motherfucker! she's as real as it gets.. most of the other characters are based on 2 or 3 people..and the storylines are based on shit that actually happened..
I think Omar finna get it...
dear lord...you all are as bad as my wife and her friends over their stupid soap operas.....:)
:lala:
You should give it a look see, dude..
and...
