Any of You cats Watch the "Wire"

Unread post by terren2000 » September 16th, 2006, 6:44 pm

if not, i recommend that you all watch it on HBO. this series is only 2nd to "The Soprano."

Good actors, and the stories continue to expand. but if its you 1st, id advise you to buy or rent the 1st few seasons, so you can no what the hell is going on.

The show is off the hook though.

Favorite Characters.

Stringer: Hes smart as hell, but dont be fooland probably the worse of Avon's crew.
Omar: hes a gay dude, who robs drug dealers. He a rider though.
Mcnulty: Cop, 1 of the only good guys i do like.
Kima: Shes a lesbian, nuff said.
Bodie: Dude played in "Oz"
Cheeze: Method man
Hurk: White boy crazy, always talking about the Ashley twins, he funny though.

Check it out though, youll be hook off one episode.

never liked the sopranos

wire is real as shit, intricate details of slangin...most tv shows have the dealer talkin like "heres 5 pounds of crack" on his cell phone and shit.

its a smart show.

Bodie is my favorite character, says funny shit, is a GEE! survived out barksdale,deangelo,pooh,his other homie they shot,Stringer, all of em...

McNaulty is a fool, fuckin all those hos and shit.

At least Bodie still stayin true, but he aint go many real soldiers on his squad.

Yeah, this Sundays episode, Omar is to be released & of course, he will start to go after Marlow; but, I don't think it's Marlow's "time" to get murked. At least, not yet.....

I want that Nicca AvonImage to get out. He must have got life (i.e. left/no longer on the show). They steady go back & forth with that Nicca Wee-BayImage, though. He a trip. He acts like the life sentence ain't shit.

This Bitch right here creeps me out:

Actually he's gonna watch Marlo. He doesnt even know what Marlo looks like. He's gonna go after Prop Joe instead. Kuz Prop Joe used him to rob Marlo just like Stringer used him to go after Brother Mouzzone.

That Nicca molested him, so hell yeah he gon' plot his murkin'!! He wouldn't his "biological" pops no way.

Mike comin' into his own, though. Out of the four youngsta's. I ONLY like Mike & Dukies' character's. The other is a snitch(Randy) & the last one got no heart(Namond)!!

I fuccin' hate Namond. :x Coward ass Nicca!!:roll: I got "On Demand" access, so I see all the episodes a week in advance. Ya'll probably ain't seen the episode I'm referring to. I feel like being an asshole, so I'll ruin the shit for ya'll:

Mike goes into soulja trainning & starts hanging out with' Marlo's "hit men." He moves out, helps Dukie out 'cause the Nicca gets evicted, helps Namond out 'cause that lil' Nicca (who Namond calls his "lieutenant") steals a "package" from him. Finally he beats the' shit out of Namond for trying to pick on Dukie, 'cause he knows Namond ain't got no heart.

Randy's house gets "cocktailed" 'cause Nicca's on the street feel like he's a snitch. His foster mom get's burnt the' fucc up!! While he is in "protective custody," a cop patrol watchs his house, so some street Nicca's prank call the hoe-lice, which causes the "gaurds" to leave, & then the Nicca's "bomb" his crib.

Cutty (the dude who runs the boxing gym) gets shot in the leg for being too brave. After Mike whoops Namonds ass in the gym, Mike storms out & Cutty tells him to not come back. The Cutty feels guily, goes out looking for Mike on the streetz, finds him, trys to get Mike to "get off the streetz," one of Mike's "peers" tells Cutty to step off, Cutty says a respectful yet smart alike remark, & get's his ass shot for it.

Omar finally does something other than that boring ass "spy" shit. He finds out about a big shipment that Prop' Joe is gettin' in for the Co-Op (which now involves Marlo). He get's some Ese homies of his boyfriend & that chick that always helped him out in the past, & rob's the ENTIRE shipment.

The "Major Crimes" division is re-instated & they get the okay to start investigating the "vaccants," which we know got all them bodies stashed away.

The rest was just politics & "filling."
