Willow ,'Storyteller'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Probably my favourite character so far. (Just ahead of Omar and Bubbles
All good choices!
I rather like William Rawls too.
That's a curious one, though. I'd go with Carver or Bunny instead. Wait, or Lester. Prop Joe. Uh. There are a lot of good characters.
I just don't see Marlo's crew having the same depth as the Barksdale people.
I could never really get into Marlo.
Where's the Bunk Moreland love?
Wait, or Lester.
A common sentence, uttered with a sigh by JZ after most episodes of The Wire: "Oh Lester Freamon, how can you be so awesome?"
Where's the Bunk Moreland love?
Or Bunk. You happy now, bitch?
In other news, growing up is optional.
If you can't refuse to eat your broccoli or shoot marshmallow cannons when you're president, when can you?
Or Bunk. You happy now, bitch?
Yes.
I so want to write a self-help book like Eat, Pray, Love and call it "This Ain't Aruba, Bitch:The Wit and Wisdom of Baltimore's Western District" Cause, somebody should, don't you think? Also, only I could be like "Score! My Publisher's paying for me to visit Bodymore, Murderland!" My mom didn't really like the show, but she loved Jimmy and Bunk. I think Lester hit too close to home...for a white woman she is Lester, an underappreciated person who has worked for every moron in the world.E: Because "Even" is not "every" and I have not been smoking the shit in the evidence room.
Where's the Bunk Moreland love?
Oh, Bunk (and Lester, and Jay, and Prop Joe) are all varying degrees of awesome. I just love Rawl's turn of phrase when he's tearing strips off a hapless underling. (Rather cute, too, to have him just hanging out in a sweater in the background at a gay bar. Cue Electric Six.)
I find Marlo and crew a lot more interesting on rewatch. But I do love me some Prop Joe.
Also on Rawls. I don't know that I paid much attention to him first time around. But now I kind of love that he shows up every few episodes and lays a smackdown that makes you realize that man is (or at least was) a bad-ass police.
One thing that really stood out rewatching S2 recently. Ziggy is so messed up, and everything he touches turns to crap. But at every step of the way, it's the smarter and more together Nicky whose actions bring everything crashing down.
