Stringer is counting to make sure they really GO to Philly, instead of just saying so. Cause dealers will, on occasion, say their stashes got taken by Narco and then move to the other side of town, which might as well be the moon, sell it and keep the cash. But they would be dead if String found out about it, so, gutsy and enterprenuerial as it might seem, you get like, one shot at that one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But Bodie was checking some red car. They went in a white van. Were they checking up on someone else?

I think so, but I don't remember all the details all that perfectly anymore. Which reminds me of the time I sent out a resume with "detail-oriented" misspelled on it. I'd be on the fuckin' boat for sure.ETA: Maybe he thought someone stole from the package and put it in their wheel-wells. I seem to recall that coming up once or twice. Dag, the stuff I remember well is too spoily to talk about! Corwood will have my ass if I wreck the HMFQ, and not in the fun way where he'd have to burn the evidence, either.

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Oh yeah there are. I was upset at Wallace's death. My best friend who is an ER doc at Hopkins was absolutely devastated by it because, yes, she sees boys (and some girls) like him every day. She actually had to stop watching the show completely after the first ep or so of season 4. It was just too close to home for her.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

The red car was from the Barksdale's wholesaler in New York. The plan is: they go to Philly, get the red car, take it to the safehouse, get the dope out, take it back to B'more, and everything's hunky dory. But the shit wasn't there.

The question is, of course, why would anyone ever wanna leave Baltimore if Philly stations sound like that?

Ah, I see.

The second episode was a little less confusing. But I'm so sad that D'Angelo is using!

And McNulty is a grade A asshole. But kind of awesome. A murder mystery on a boat!

He's a special kind of asshole. Foamy, too. Complete bad news, but I'd let him waste my weekend if he wanted to(and there's a good guy in there WAY down deep. Plenty of women have lost their minds and good credit trying to form the search party to find him, though.) Ha, Corwood, though I personally *enjoy* some PHC(See Stuff White People like) but I also have Midwestern relatives. To Bodie it's the Martian weather report.

This season is sort of all over the place. There are a bunch of things going on, but they're not as obviously intricately connected as before. You've got Omar's Adventures in Thievery, the War of the Stained-Glass Windows, the Imminent Return of the Surveillance-Story Paradigm, the Barksdale Crew in: Life After Sentencing, Murder x 14, and Whatever the Frakking Hell Those White Boys Are Doing.

Stringer's getting with D's girl! That shit is cold. He's going to have to talk more macroeconomics to get me to like him again.

Avon sure knows how to keep a kid off drugs. Damn.

Did you know the actor that plays String is English? Best faux-American accent ever. Better than Hugh Laurie's, which I thought was about perfect.
