I'd have to say... Avon was until he got sent up... but now... I've always liked that black cop... the young one!
I really cut for Cutty tho!!
Well, I guess we all know now who is the guy that molested Micheal--his little brother's daddy.
Can someone tell me is snoop male or female? I for sure he was male, but now I'm not so sure.
Yeah, I gotta hand it to you, you nailed that one!:cheers:Quote:

snoop is a girl.. she was a real gangsta in baltimore..before she changed her ways and is now playin 1 in the show..
I'm still not sure it's a woman!!! She damn sure looks like a dude!
For some reason I think this season of "The Wire" is their best season yet. I like the fact that they're showing the kids' lives. I feel sorry for all of these kids, especially the main four the story is focusing on. Weebay's kid is the one most doomed, so I feel sorry for him the most. I think the smelly kid is going to be the one that ends up the most successful. These kids are pretty talented actors--I have no trouble believing any of their characters. They make this season outstanding.
Word!
Word! Word!
Weebay's baby momma don't be trip'n though! HA! She just gonna make him sell some dope... He really don't want to... Kinda like a rich mans sone that doesn't really want to go into the family business but so use to get'n what he wants.
I hate what bubs is going through these days... So desparate.
Yeah that kid aint a drug dealer..
And his mother is my least favorite character on the whole show! I hate her worse than Marlo. She's a fat, lazy, poor-excuse-for-a-mother who doesn't really care about her son. She just wants money and is too lazy to work for it. She absolutely disgusts me. The poor kid doesn't have a prayer at any kind of respectable life thanks to her lazy ass. :cuss:
3 Episodes left, damn, I've enjoyed this season the best of all of them.
Word!
Number!!!
Cracka!!!!!
Are you agreeing with me on the fact that his mom's a lazy ass or are you agreeing with me that this is the best season ever?Quote:

that final scene I think in the last episode that aired..was one of the most brutal i've seen :eek::eek::eek:
DON'T SPOIL IT, TIM!!!
:lala:
No you probably saw it Louis, from this week's on-air episode. Wait 'till you see next week's though. As usual they have me on the edge of my seat wondering how they're gonna resolve all of this shit with only 2 episodes left! :yikes:Quote:

Damn I love The Wire...
Hey ya'll!
Keen observation Coz and Chuk. I was thinking the same thing.
And, yes I did see it the final scene in last weeks ep. I misread Tim's post.
Yeah I thought he'd gone through the same thing as well.. crazy
Yeah, homeboy said sumthin' to Chris like "you been to prison, you know what I'm talkin' about..." and Chris said "yeah, I know" and commenced to stompin' that ass!!! :lmao: Snoop was like "Damm, you ain't even let us get him in the house first!" :rotf:
‘Bubbles’ becomes reservoir of humanity on HBO’s ‘The Wire’
Wednesday, December 6, 2006
By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer
AP RIC FRANCIS
BUBBLES Actor Andre Royo, who stars as Bubbles in HBO’s crime series “The Wire.”
NEW YORK Walking back to his trailer while shooting the first season of “The Wire,” Andre Royo was still in character as the homeless junkie and informant Bubbles — face scarred, hair a craggy black mess — when a real junkie approached with what Royo calls his “Street Oscar.”
“He said, ’Yo, you need this, man. You look like you need a hit,”’ recalls Royo. “I laughed a little bit and I got emotional. I was like, ‘Wow, he thinks I’m a junkie for real.’ I felt validated.”
Royo had to discard his “Oscar” before flying home (airlines might not recognize a bag of heroin as an acting trophy), but the gesture was reward enough for Royo. It’s also about as close as any actor on the HBO series has come to awards recognition, even though the Baltimore drama has been hailed with hyperbole by critics.
FINALE SUNDAY
On Sunday, Bubbles serves as an unusual reservoir of humanity as “The Wire” airs the fourth season’s finale (10 p.m. EST). Bubbles has long been one of the show’s most moral characters, captivating in his struggle to fight addiction and hopelessness on a show that revolves around futility.
This season has focused on a handful of young teenagers in West Baltimore’s broken school system. The final episodes find various characters fighting for the futures of the kids — and none is more affecting than Bubs’ unlikely mentoring of a homeless boy, which plays out tragically.
Bubbles’ emotional scenes represent a climax for both the character and Royo, who has taken a role originally meant for just seven episodes and made it one of the show’s most popular.
Like so much of “The Wire,” the character of Bubbles was taken directly from the street. Ed Burns, who helped create the show with David Simon (a former Baltimore journalist) and writes many of the episodes, was with Baltimore police for years (later becoming a school teacher). For 15 years, Bubbles was one of his best informants.
CULTIVATING HONOR
“In his prime, whatever happened in West Baltimore, he knew about,” Burns says of the real Bubbles, who he remembers fondly as an honest, unique person. “There’s a lot of honor in the game, you just have to find it and sort of cultivate it.”
When Bubbles died of AIDS in the late ‘80s, Simon wrote an obituary for him, but without Bubbles’ name because his family wanted it kept anonymous.
Having moved with his wife and daughter to Los Angeles, where they have opened a restaurant, Royo is understandably ready for some new challenges.
“I’ve been snitching for a long time now. The first job I had on ‘Law & Order’ I was snitching,” he says, also citing his roles in “Third Watch” and “Shaft.” “For some reason, they look at me and think, ‘That (guy) will tell. ... But I am Bubbles. There’s a part of me that’s invested, and I want to make sure his story is fully told.”
In March, “The Wire” begins production for a fifth and final season.
well I think I can finally say R.I.P. bodie
:sad:
One HELL of a season!!! :rock:
Now see that pissed me off too. How are you going to kill off Bodie? This is why I hate watching dramas. When you kill off my favorites, I get pissed.
I know someone better save my boy Randy. The cop that escorted him there should step up and be his foster dad. He owes him that much.
Michael is getting worse now. Next season something is going to happen to his little brother he so lovingly protects. I think Weebay's son is going to totally clean up his act. Kudos for Weebay for giving his son a better life (and shutting up that trifling wife of his--loved that!).
Continue the great story for the next season. And nobody better cap Omar!
Love this show.
