Then you're a brave man, and fine linkspotter. Or, possibly, a special kind of asshole.

I want the thugs to have their own column.
I hope we get more of their reactions as the season goes on.

A couple of new things I just noticed about Wire Ep 51.
Jimmy mentions that Marlo jacked their best surveillance van. Guess Sobotka's finally off the hook!
Laura Lippman is the reporter watching the fire who says, "Hey, I'm not the police reporter."

The reporters watching the fire - callback to the Homicide cops arguing about/betting on what was on fire that one time? When Kellerman was introduced, maybe.

Punishingly Intricate
I finally saw the series finale of Extras and was surprised by the relatively happy ending. I'd heard the last 1/2 was all doom and gloom.

David Simon obsessive?(fake shocked face)
There's some McNutty in that man.
Ricky Gervais topic-ness: Loved "The Office Special" complete with cheesy-stuck-in-the-eighties Harold Melvin cover video.
And, bullcrap, that good stories can't come from spleen...the mess of the Mahoney shoot came because DS was like "Tell me how to write, willya? Take that!" after NBC insisted Mahoney. Must Die. (cause, you know, Drug Dealing Is Evil and Wrong) So our man Simon boosted our catharsis. And he'd do it again. So, fifteen years later(!), score one on the pissy upstart. Shall I suggest that Mr. Plotz(real name or street name?) remain silent?

And, call me partisan("What are you, some kind of Democrat or something?" but I never trust any writer sticking up for some poor corporation.)
But then, if David Simon decided to write about the process by which phonebooks got to Baltimore, I'd find something to watch in it.
So I've drunk the kool-aid there,I suppose.
The Directory: What's on the pages is only part of the story.

I would watch it.
And it would be compelling and fascinating.
Have I mentioned how excited I am about the prospective New Orleans series? I know it isn't definite yet, but if it happens it will be so what I want.
