6FU had the greatest series finale. Ever.
Tom, me brother... You are doing that cynic thing, with the hyperbole thing.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed saying anything in my life as much as those children enjoy "*FUCK* you, you cheese-faced bitch!" Unless I could pay a bunch of them to call up, say, Ann Coulter's house. On a more substantial note, I almost feel that I won't be able to take it if Pres gets surprised in the supply closet again...hurts to watch. But I don't want to punk out or anything.

Man, I laughed like hell at that line.
So, looks like Carcetti might be thinking about pushing Daniels up to Commissioner. Can a mayor do that?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I watched the first season of six feet under a couple of years ago, and while I enjoyed it entertainment-wise, it was definitely a show that I was doing other things while I was watching. I liked--and I say this about the show, definitely not in RL--watching the people die at the beginning; it was a clever way to approach the fact that they were going to be dealing with a dead body every episode without making it trite, like every cop show ever.
Also, Gus is totally right WRT the series ending. I watched the last, like, ten minutes on YouTube, and by the end I had shed a couple tears, despite the pixelation. Excellent.

I thought a Mayor of a city appointed the commissioner.

I just figured that he had to choose from available top brass or risk pissing off the department. That said, sweeeeeeeeet if it happens, but a bit wish-fulfillment-y for the show.

seriously! Although, if it happens, I'll be pissed that the Wire isn't real life like I sometimes think it is.

oh, yeah it is but we have not had a police commissioner as together as Daniels. I don't think.
And no police officers as pretty as McNulty or Carver. They are mostly more like the ones assigned to drive the mayor-elect (presumed) around in the ep last night. And, too funny, I saw a full on Wiggums clone on foot patrol in the neighborhood on Sat.
However, our real-life mayor is actually more handsome and more rock and roll than Carcetti, his fictional counterpart. so there you go!
