I'm with you, -t.

edit: on the voiceover hate-on. I haven't tried Dexter yet.

I revel in the not-aloneness!

I'm happy to join you in your corner, just as long as you don't feel some freaky need to narrate in a quirky and knowing way.

If I feel the need for narration, I will break out in song. And try very hard to rhyme.

MOTHERFUCK.

MOTHERFUCK.

Heh.

This entire fucking season, I was damn near certain that Stringer was going to take out Avon. That had to be the big thing that a friend of mine had mentioned, and there were big flashing signs. Swear to God, it did not even occur to me until, like, TODAY or maybe yesterday that it could possibly go the other way. NOT STRINGER. WHAT THE HELL. I love Avon and all, but...GAH.

I stayed up way too late Friday night/Sat. morning to watch the last half of Mad Men and am here to say that the Golden Globe people got it right, John Hamm sure deserved his award. UK Telegraph about Mad Men and Hamm: [link] The actress who plays Peggy ought to get a nom for an Emmy IMHO.

Man, I'm still bummed about Stringer. How could they get rid of one of the best characters on the show?? And what a way to go, too. Running scared, cornered, not even fighting back. And fucking Brother Mouzone had to be involved, too. I choose to believe that Omar's shotgun was what really killed him.

And he didn't even get to go out on top! He'd just found out he'd totally been played by that ratfink Clay Davis! And he was just about to get taken down all legally and shit! Man, he'd come so far and built so much.

But, oh man, Avon betrayed him without even knowing that Stringer was totally betraying him! They both ended up fucking each other over! It's so fucked up and glorious! And sad. They were brothers, man. B&B! Wonder what Avon's adventures in prison will be like this time. I mean, who the fuck is running his operation now, Bodie? He's the only one of the original Pit crew left on the street, wily little fucker! See ya, Poot.

It was really interesting to watch Hamsterdam go from being a potentially great idea to a potential clusterfuck to a possibly good idea to an actual clusterfuck.

I'm annoyed that Bunny got shit on so hard! Man, he didn't even get his full pension. I don't know what the difference is between a Lieutenant's and a Major's pension, but I'm sure it's significant. At least Daniels became Major Daniels! Aw.

BEADIE!! Yaaaaay. She makes me smile. A welcome ray of light in these dark proceedings.

Okay, the sex/boxing scene seemed kind of odd and gratuitous.

I thought it was totally cute that Daniels offered McNulty the chance to stay on and was obviously hoping and expecting that he would.

I just discovered that the person I thought was Marlo all season was actually someone named Fruit. What the hell? I thought Marlo was the dude in the funny hat. I don't even remember when the hell I would have seen the actual Marlo. THIS SHOW HAS TOO MANY FUCKING CHARACTERS THAT IT DOES NOT CLEARLY IDENTIFY FOR MY BENEFIT.

So season 3 started off a little slow and confusing, but then it became awesome and I loved it.

I was waiting for you to get to the Stringer death. I mean damn. That was some rough viewing.
