Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I saw a minor spoiler for an upcoming episode that I almost want erika to see more than I want to see it.

McNulty: it occurred to me last night, his manufacturing evidence parallels what the speaker was talking about at Bubbles meeting - whatever you think you won't ever do, that's what you'll do for your demon. And his demon isn't drink, that's more of a symptom, his demon is giving a fuck when it ain't his turn to give a fuck.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

That's a good call.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, I get that about McNulty. Though it is also a kind of moral pride which generally precedes a calamitous fall.

Even Landsman said he couldn't help it, he's "addicted to himself"

That felt like a goddamn Wire episode last night.

Good. Glad to know they're back on their game. Sad about ANY bad eps. All the pieces matter.

Watched Pres' first day again. That girl getting her face sliced is just as shocking this time. Also, Cutty has kind of a way with the Spanglish.

Punishingly Intricate

Okay I just watched the last two eps in a row. They KILLED BUTCHIE and PROP JOE?!?!??!

My friend just called to tell she is "quitting the Wire"

She thinks they're going after Bubs next and that would just be TOO MUCH!

No lie, and I'm aware how dramatic this makes me sound, but I'd be devastated by that. I'm not over Bodie For God's sake. And Bubbles has always seemed like the heart of the show. It seems like it would send a sad message about humanity if something happened to him. Maybe I'm overthinking, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Salon writers note that one of the guys from the homeless camp was a character named Horse (dock worker) from S2.

They're tying all the threads together.
