Wait, that was only hours?
I know, it was like being caught in an event horizon.

...I still want those hours of my life back that I spent watching Daredevil.
And Elektra, please. Though was that written by him? I can't recall?

I swear, in that movie I'd look at my watch out of boredom every half hour or so and realize that only 15 seconds had passed since the last time I checked it.

Hmm, serial is particularly appropriate given this post...
Did anyone else crack up at Dexter's expression after he beaned Paul with the frying pan? That look Michael C. Hall gave was the funniest thing in the whole series to date.

I lost it, Matt. It was hilarious.

No thoughts on the penultimate Wire of S4?

I'm still sniffling, bunk. Heartbreaking shit. Poor Namond and Randy. And Bubbles. Poor Baltimore. My own unspoiled spec is that the closest to a moral is that good things will happen for Duquan *because* Presbo stuck his neck out and took a personal interest. That when institutions fail, we still have our humanity. That stuck in my mind all night and I'm not afraid to admit that I cried over it. And not that misty, ER, Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah" kind either. It wasn't pretty, but in a way I was glad. I can't remember the last time that happened from TV where I was actually disrupted by it. I wouldn't want to just be able to consider that all in the day, but I'm torn between "Damn. Crowning achievement." and "Pelecanos, you bastard!"

Over on some of the other forums, there's some disillusionment about the paintball segment and the hotshot. I didn't mind the former, because I knew it was a training as soon as it started and figured it was an ok lighthearted before-the-credit moment, but the hotshot was too predictible and not-so-Wire-ish.
Don't forget next week's ep runs long!

What? Cutty taking a bullet? Sort of reminded me of Hill Street. (Without Belker growling "Don't die on me you son of a bitch!" of course.) Yeah, a bit of a 'your father's cop show' moment, but, much like actual drugs, if The Wire were completely pure, it would kill us. But they could've lost that and not hurt the show. The teaser? Well, it was no worse than the other teasers, imo. Wirefiends be some picky-ass motherfuckers, yo. What? They actually wanted* more* emotional weight this week. Why does fandom want me dead, bunk? I didn't even take their stash or nothin'.(yet.)
