i cant look i cant look i cant look

those guys are geniuses of tv though. they write with balls.

Yeah, I can't look either....I'm pretty behind!!

i can't wait to see what happens w/ michael and marlo.

im sooo fuckin pissed, i missed the whole season do to not having hbo, i refuse to let anyone let me know what happens until the dvd comes out, ive been a devout watcher of that show since season 1 episode 4 (consequently the introduction of omar little to the series)

"like omar on the wire, yous a homo thug" - sean price aka big ruck

I've just started getting into this. Generation Kill as well, that programme's excellent.

that was one fucking awesome final season. i watched the vidcaps AND the dvd last year. best fucking motherfucking fucking show EVER.

Has anyone read David Simon's book, Homicide? Incredible! The kind of book that makes you laugh out loud in response to just how good it is. My first thought after finishing it was why can't Britain produce anything remotely this good, and necessary? As far as I'm concerned, David Simon and Evan Wright (author of the equally brilliant Generation Kill) are frankly embarrassing a lot of arguably more prestigious writers right now.

A very good (if also very long) lecture to USC Law students by David Simon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8E8xBXFLKE

After rewatching the entire series I can still confidently say that it's still the best tv series in the history of the universe.

^^^ where the hell have you been? participation is mandatory.

Ha ha ha, I know, I know.

oh, i think you meant to type the sopranos in place of the wire :)
i do love the wire though. but c'mon, the fuggin sopranos ova here

Currently on the third series. Fucking brilliant. Possibly the best television program ever. The characters are brilliantly written, really realistic.

YES!
when im done with my degree i shall rewatch this show for the 3rd time
