Any thoughts on last night's episode?

It's so real this season it's almost too much to take. I had to keep reminding myself that Prez is just a character. I knew his first day would go like that. I wonder how he thought it would go?

And those kids...I see them EVERY day as I drive to work. Plus with the election stuff. it's just too much like life. Not that i'm going to stop watching.

I loved all the Randy stuff. with the shirts and the "HI! I'm Randy!" And I loved that Omar's new boy was reading a Pelacanos book. hah! I loved all the Omar stuff of course.

Written by Richard Price, too!

Even thought the humor's a bit cartoonish for The Wire, I especially loved the Omar bit before the credits. And yeah, Prez is in real trouble. I love how they caught this expression on his face that said, "why is this harder than being a cop?"

The kids, geez, that stuff's just going to keep breaking my heart.

GF and I are 4 eps into Deadwood S1. We're feeling it! Favorite curse so far: Fucknut. Bwahahahahahaha!

Hey, Gloomcookie, glad you're digging it!

Y'know, I always think of you when my iPod serves up the Geraldine Fibbers. In my mind's eye, you look just like Carla Bozulich. Hopefully, your GF doesn't look too much like Nels Cline.

Hahahahahaha! I laugh on both counts. Here's what we look like: [link]

I'm the one on the left, sipping the sweet sweet rum drink. This was at a tiki bar the night we saw Throwing Muses (AWESOME!) for like the millionth time.

Yeah, last week Pres had this look like "Last year, I helped bring down a drug ring...this year I'm a custodian, picking gum off the seats. FG." But then, his FIL always did treat him like that. It's funny when they show Omar fighting with somebody about Cheerios...most shows wouldn't, right? ETA: I'm already wanting to bail out Pres, but right, like Baltimore City needs Wire-obsessed, clueless white folks. I also remembered the time D'Angelo helped a little girl with her math using a corner example and then she got it. I think I'd have to hold my nose and vote for Carcetti, even though I honestly don't like him very much.

I wish I could do this.

GC: aw, cute! This is an entrenched mental image, though. Even though I know what you look like now, I'm probably going to still see Carla when you come to mind.

most shows wouldn't, right?

Probably not. That Omar stuff, down to the pajamas & gun and bitching at your significant other about something (and yet another garbled Wild Bunch quote), was really great.

I'm already wanting to bail out Pres

If he's really a stand-in for Ed Burns, he has 9 more years on the job to go.

I think I'd have to hold my nose and vote for Carcetti, even though I honestly don't like him very much.

Oh, he's an ass, but he's an ass for the right reasons.

Was funny on the preview "He ain't never shot nobody. Look at him." Little do they know.ETA: Completely silly question. Last week, did Herc say he would be "Fucked in the ass with a pineapple," or "Taking it up the ass with a pineapple" over witnessing the mayor's Lewinsky moment. I'm not sure why I care...it hurts either way.(I'd imagine)

So, I'm watching Deadwood S1 Ep6 and OMG! Kristin Bell! Veronica Mars in Deadwood!

My love for this show just continues to grow. It's SO FUNNY, in its grim way. And each character works so hard for my love, it's difficult to pick a favorite. I have very strong love for Seth and Sol, Jane, and even Al. But the other characters really pull their weight and delight me constantly -- the Doc, Charlie Utter, and the weirdo, epileptic preacher.

Yeah, that's very well-spoken. For a Hollywood cocksucker.
