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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, I'd really love to have overheard String and McNutty hanging out off-camera with their real accents.

Yeah, they should have done a DVD commentary together. Talked about getting "take-away" in Baltimore, or, honestly? Anything they want...those guys absolutely pwn my ass, though I've no idea how to pronounce that sentiment.(The accents were a gift with purchase, though.) Not that I don't love the ones with DW and MKW, especially the one where West explains how Wendell Pierce rescued him after he learned what "cracker" means in America.MKW laughed SO hard at that one.

You know who else is British? Lester Fucking Freamon. Or, at least, Clarke Peters.

Really? Cause I thought he was USAian and worked in the UK. Not that his performance was anything less than faultless and awesome, either way. If he is a Brit, long line for The Wire accent Prize! I love Lester.(I thought maybe that events of(sniff) the last season would alter that? But, no, still full of Freamon love. Which is beautiful, but if taken literally, possibly TMI.)

Oops, Erika's right: [link] I'd always heard it the other way. Anyway, the dude's natural accent these days is more Brit than American.
