And where it's that Wild Bill met his untimely and inglorious end. As you now know. But as a result, that's where Calamity ended up, amongst a host of a number of other interesting other cocksuckers.

There seems to be no way I can not add that cocksucking word when talking about the show.

The Wire: The Quantico profile really does sound like Jimmy."a high-functioning alcoholic who has difficulty in relationships, but a real need to prove his intellectual superiority." Dude. Profiling works.

I also thought there was a real similiarity between the way Clay Davis describes his role and what Bushy Top is doing at the police department. Deadwood: Jane was one of my favorites.

There's a point where the parallels between McNulty and Carcetti, both trying to make the system do some good and getting torn apart by the machinery, are just beautiful.

Eta: and I didn't see it directly myself, but, yeah, Clay Davis, too.

Well, yeah, the parallel between Carcetti and McNutty is more accurate, since Clay Davis' is a bigger lie.But in his own head, it's the same thing.

I think you are right about that. Food for thought.

Oh, and I forgot. I so loved Munchkin drinking with Mello and Editor! Clark Johnson.(not the greatest char. as I can't remember his name. Sorry, clark!) Made of fuckin' *win*, yo. MKW didn't get a death scene. Which is totally Wire-ish, but if I were him, I might feel bad. I love MKW. Am torn about everybody finding the Wire. I love that it gets love and all, but it's not very often I'm in on something before it's played out. I loved the secret handshake aspect of a tiny fandom...ah, well, it's all in the Game.

Sniff. It's all over. And why introduce Alma if she wasn't a part of things? Most definitely agree with Corwood that it would have brought the newsroom scenes to life and given Templeton more dimension. But the actual last episode? I thought was brilliant.

Amen.

I liked that at least McNulty took that homeless guy(where? His parents'?) to make that one thing right,in keeping with the whole show's opinion that our best hope is doing small things, one to one. Overall, season 4 is probably my favorite, despite the lack of Bushy top and my being a big McNutty fangirl.(some of that stuff is quite a stretch of his character, even though I would never say it was completely OoC.) I think there's something...indelible about watching kids choose corners that even the most perfect newsroom story couldn't quite get to. And we didn't get the most perfect newsroom story, anyway, but even so. Prezbo really impressed me as he stepped up to be the lead, too, which I wouldn't have predicted at the beginning.

Innocent?? Oh, Jack's got a vengeance killin' comin' his way.

Farnum got a fucking SOLILOQUY. Wow. Milch does like his Shakespeare, I see.

I find it interesting that Toliver appears to be more like Swearengen than I initially thought. He even has his own Dan.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the newspaperman's got whatever plague Andy just died from. He's been inappropriately sneezing at funerals for two episodes now. And I think this show likes to set up its plots in the background.

Isn't Nebraska a long way off? It doesn't seem like a vaccine would get back to Deadwood in nearly enough time if an epidemic breaks out.
