Stolen shamelessly from a friend on another forum:
For anyone who thought Omar's "Spiderman" jump was implausible, Michael K. Williams says:
That actually really happened. Omar’s character is based on a brother named Donnie Andrews. [On The Wire, the real-life Andrews played] the gentleman that got shot and killed in that apartment with Omar. I said, “Donnie, man, what happened that night? What was going through your mind to jump through the window?” He said, “Michael, I wasn’t thinking. There was no time to think. I was just trying to escape some hot ones.” Your partner just got murdered. You got people gunning at you. And there’s an open window? What are you going to do?
Oh, and note this:
I leave to start production on The Road, [a Cormac McCarthy adaptation] directed by John Hilcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen and the lovely and talented Charlize Theron. I’m really excited about that.

ooh!
Man, I have to say about Sunday's ep (erika wf)
I was glad that Omar got got early on in the ep. The tension was making me CRAZY!
I watched it again last night (while burning a copy for Ms. Jahneke, which will go in the mail tomorrow), and that scene is just a killer, all the way through. In fact, I'll go ahead and say that every scene in the episode is a killer, but that one in particular is breathtaking.
You'll get no argument from me. Top form.
I just watched the second to last Wire On Demand.
Dude. Dude! I was gonna white-font some reaction, but I don't think I will even do that. Too much.
The finale is gonna have to be extra extra long to hold everything that's going down.
"How's forever? Forever work for you?'
Well, I did once translate the fruit-punch speech into cornerspeak.
I saw that they won't be showing the finale on OnDemand so as to control the spoiler tide as much as possible.
Oh, I didn't know that. I was already starting to debate whether I wanted to watch it early, might be a good thing to have the choice taken out of my hands.
