That's no way to treat no citizen, HBO. I too love Christopher the screenwriter...one of my favorite moments comes early on when he says he bought the screenwriting program cause he figured "it would do a lot of it."
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

Oof. Wire, S4, "Homerooms". Killing me.
Man.
You know, I'd give a lot to know what exactly went on in Carcetti's head when he decided to blow the whistle on Hamsterdam.

If not "This will make me mayor," then what?

I don't know. The look on his face when he walked down the street alone was so conflicted, it seems like he must have had quite a conversation with himself to come to the decision.

Yeah, I was being a little flippant. But I do think that Carcetti has a couple of little people on his shoulders, one of whom that cares about Baltimore and fixing its problems and the other that says, "Governor in two years". I don't know which one has the halo and which one the horns, though.

Yeah, I see what you mean.
The way anyone who cares about ANYTHING gets fucked so consistently, that political shoulder-person is probably doing him a lot of good.

Sometimes I like Carcetti, sometimes he really bothers me. Maybe he did really think Hamsterdam was wrong, in addition to being wicked ambitious. IME, sometimes people trying to do The Right Thing are the worst.

I liked that Mayor Royce considered it mostly for the right reasons.

That's true. There's so much distateful about Royce and his political machine ways, it's easy to forget that.
I have to wonder if Johnny would have died, or so quickly, anyway, if there hadn't been a Hamsterdam. As much good as it did for so many others. And once I start thinking down that road I have to wonder where he was coming up with the money for his dope without Bubbles bringing him along.
IME, sometimes people trying to do The Right Thing are the worst.
Yeah. It's hard to remember that after watching him order opponents' signs to be removed and all that just now.
So far, I like Carcetti much better when he's sure he has no chance than when he's trying to win.
