What? I didn't sign up for penises! I signed up for BOOBS.

Oh, okay. Wanted to make sure I didn't miss something.

Which gave me the most terrifying boobs of all.

Okay, after they fought so hard not to show their hand by delaying the murder charges, why the fuck would they make a very public drug bust? Because they just caused what they were trying to avoid: Barksdale is indeed changing shit up. I don't get it. Did they really think getting the runner would be worth it? And what the hell was that with Pres? He seemed to recognize that one-eyed kid, and Lt. Daniels also seemed to know him.
And now they've got Bird in custody. Surely, Barksdale will figure out they're onto him. I thought they were trying to be more discreet! Wait until you can take it all down from the top! This is a complicated business.
From what I've gathered, the seasons seem to be very discrete stories. Is the overall continuity more characterwise than plotwise?

Think, man! Why would Prez recognize a one-eyed kid? Why is Prez stuck in-office?

Well, balls.
Oh, wait! THAT KID!
Geez, this show makes me have to remember shit from five episodes ago all on my own.

That McNulty has his CHILDREN TAIL A SUSPECT is simultaneously awesome and horrifying.
I've been waiting for some sort of fallout from the revelation of Daniels's past dirtiness, and it looks like it involves the deputy in some way. And that whole business also helps explain why the department hasn't been so keen on the wiretapping investigation: you don't want to be stepping on the wrong toes. Looks like everyone's in the damn game.
I really wish the vast majority of Barksdale's crew didn't have, like, the exact same hair. Nearly all of them have shaved heads and goatees. Makes it really hard to tell them apart, especially since people so rarely use NAMES on this show and remind me who the fuck everyone is.
Stringer Bell! Learning macroeconomics! Ahahaha.
All fear Omar's vengeance! And then his behavior in the office! "Gentlemen. Ma'am." I'm beginning to see why people love him.
Man, I like Bunk, and he has to go and cheat on his wife. Is every character on television an adulterer?

Not really. Each season has a theme and some sort of resolution (the 2nd season more than others) but stuff happens in the 1st season that has repurcussions all the way to the end of the series.

Oh, good. That's what I like to hear.

And McNulty's all, WTF?
