Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Funny, that's exactly where my Dad stopped watching it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This is one fucked up show.

I think it gets worse actually.

And I still love it.

It's really fucking sad. He was a good kid. He's not even real, but I'm sure there are Wallaces all over the place.

I think it gets worse actually.

How the fuck can it get worse? They start shooting BABIES?

Always Anti-fascist!

George brings the pain, volume 1.(Seriously...man can make me cry like nobody else writing today. And yet, I am a huge fan and buy everything he writes. Either he's great, or I'm twisted. Or, you know, all of the above.) Which does remind me of Season Four, actually.
Because I'm weeping copiously, at the end, and my mother is watching me, like, cry for humanity, and she's asking "This is this thing you ran up our cable bills for?"

And I'm like "It's great. I love it. Mostly."

If we weren't about fifteen years too late, and alone in the house, we could have been a lifetime movie for teens, "But I Love Him: One Girl's Sick Crime-Writing Passion"

But it's the funniest shit that ever kicked me in the gut really hard. The part that kills me is that the guys at Blown Deadline say that that part guts them too, still. Which makes me hate the occasional Community Activist that posts in their blogs about Simon getting rich off the black man, and etc.

Man, this show sure knows how to take a potentially happy ending and turn it into something entirely bittersweet. And put in a shitload of callbacks while it's doing it.

I can't believe that after all this shit, Avon Barksdale gets 7 years and D'Angelo gets TWENTY. Goddammit. He was a good kid. And he was this close to getting out of it all okay. Damn you, D'Angelo's mom.

And after all those sentences...business still proceeds as usual, with Stringer in charge. What did they really accomplish?

And Bubbs is back to his old self again! He was clean for a whole THREE DAYS, you guys. That's big for him!

And are we supposed to assume that it was, in fact, Judge Phelan who leaked the Gant story to the news all those episodes ago?

I assume Herc's and Carver's money-grubbing hands are going to get caught at some point.

Geez, about the only good thing that happened was that Lester's back in Homicide where he belongs.

Well, and Omar's triumphant return. That was pretty sweet. I love his whistling. It reminds me of M.

This show makes me sad for America. Possibly even angry.

Dude, are you mainlining the show?
