Because I've seen Better Off Dead and I can picture that Simon might just act out season five, I'm picturing BALMER RESIDENT: Shame to waste a perfectly good white boy that way. as DS mumbles all the voices and etc.
Nandi: I ain't her. Mal: Only people in this room is you and me.

Still haven't seen the Deadwood finale, so I'm not reading any posts that appear to be about it.
rather than trying to get caught up with what's gone before. Madness?
I think you'll be ok this season. They seem to be starting mostly fresh.

mos def. Still excited, though. Most shows that would piss me off, especially with one hottie dead and the other one going off to be a Big Movie Star Guest Appearance Guy(Although, DW, love ya I do, but looking at your filmic ouevre, what have you played but McNutty the Roguish Horndog With Self-Deprecating Super-secrit Heart Of Gold? Ok, sometimes you use your real voice. Don't get me wrong; I love the RH, etc. But you're not exactly stretching, are you, petal? Although if I were you, I'd count picking Julia over Maggie Gyllenhall as "Science fiction experience") But these characters are all so strong, I expect not to think about that too much. (OK, yes, my oost made me watch a Julia Roberts movie. I'm a total Pearlman. Happy now?) But something felt wrong about him PG-13. McNulty gets aphasia. Because not a "Fuck *me*" to be had.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, erika and Corwood. I will make the plunge, and somewitmes I will know what y'all are talking about.
I found The Corner just sitting there On Demand, too, I'm more than a little tempted to give that a watch.

The Corner's pretty good, but, to paraphrase a comment a friend said the other night, you never forget that you're watching a TV show with The Corner. With The Wire, it's like life; the artifice is more of a piece with the product.

You may have seen this already but there are 8 minutes synopsis of each Wire season on OnDemand right now. That should help some.

Thanks, lisah, I haven't seen that. Is that what that Wire Reup thing is? I'lll look for them.

Thanks! Although I could use less of that worm Tobolowsky, the worst actor on Deadwood and a true Bogdonovich-worthy shallow suck-up.

Bogdonovich-worthy shallow suck-up.
Hmm. How does that compare to a James-Lipton-worthy shallow suck-up?
