Social WR Lounge v270 Hesitation Kills

[danny23]

Season 4 is my favorite for a lot of reasons but mostly the group of Dukie, Michael, Randy and Namond is such a poignant jumping off point to show the branches of trauma that are so integrated into life as a Black American.

Season 3’s ending, the final episode along with the last few episodes were my favorite. That season they built up String so well he became my favorite character with Omar.

Never seen the wire before.
As for breaking bad goes, that show is for basement dwellers who still live with thier parents collecting unemployment checks each week. Shit show.

I was a wire holdout until last year. Definitely worth watching.

No one could provide me with Sherdog Rewind archives and my usual trick of leveraging foot pics will not work. This is truly number one bullshit.

Wait....... what?

Then the most privileged out of all of those kids in the show is one who gets pulled out of the hood and saved

TBF, if Bunny hadn't stumbled into being Namond's small group teacher for that study... Namond would have been dead.

Of them all he was the most priveleged for sure. Randy had a loving family but was in a rough part of town, Dukie had nothing, Michael had to take the role of a father cause his mom was an H addict. But Namond was on a track of being killed in the street by being an idiot.

Namond being saved also set up that scene is season 5 where Carcetti is campaigning and comes across Bunny, Bunny's wife, and Namond and goes to shake Bunny's hand and Bunny basically flips him the bird by not taking it.

On of my favorites though is where you learn Stringer was something of a CI for Bunny off and on.


"Who sold me out?"
"Check the warrant"

Foot fetishists can be very resourceful.

Aaron Paul is wonderful, I had been so upset when he left Big Love on HBO and thought I’d never see him in anything again, was so happy to see him in breaking bad. My favorite are the cousins though, and they never say anything, and I love Nacho and Kim on BCS

That's fair Sara, have you watched him on Westworld? @irish_thug I will check it out soon. I have been binge watching Disney shows a lot when I'm on my break so I'll get to the wire soon.

By the way everyone SDW said Hi too. He is in good spirits.

Glad to hear. How's he enjoying his new found free time?

I feel like there's a bit of whack-a-mole going here.



Not sure that Warren leaked it. She confirmed it after someone else leaked it, looks like. I also wouldn't read it as an attack on his character, and as an aside, treating it like one is pretty damaging, IMO. It's like something SDW does with race. "How DARE you insinuate that I might have racial bias--that's the worst thing you can possibly say about someone and you'd better have damned good proof! Also, everyone to my left is a racist, and no I can't prove it or even explain why I think so." I don't remember Warren's staff siding with Bernie's version of events, but as I said, it doesn't seem like there's much of a difference between the versions anyway, and what there is could easily be explained by different people remembering it differently. Also don't know why you think that any indignation she felt was feigned. If you assume bad faith from the start, of course you're going to conclude it.

Warren obviously leaked it: there's no other plausible explanation, especially since the only persons actually there denied it, unless you think two or more people within Warren's inner circle leaked it without Warren's approval. That's where the "feign indignation" part (I actually did deliberate on whether to use that word, since I figured you would make issue of it) comes in. Warren's camp almost certainly leaked the report and then Warren acted as if it was a lurid media creation that she wanted to avoid.

And the analogy to SDW is just sad and pretty underhanded since you chose to include the "Also, everyone to my left is a racist, and no I can't prove it or even explain why I think so" part.

He has been busy with work. He supposed to call me later today, so I'll let you know more.

That may have been true in the past, but in this day and age long form story telling has far more avenues to put out product without the past limitations of network television.

Say hi to him from me.

If I had felt like talking about movies I’d have made the poll about movies

IDK.

I can't think of a movie I've seen that impacted my outlook on the world the way that The Wire did. Especially my professional life given I was working Dependency Court when I first saw The Wire.

 

[Deleted member 405583]

I don't mean to say people like Omar don't exist just that I thought he stood out on the show, not in an entirely bad way but it was distracting to me.

Oh.

Send him a partiality filtered racial slur from me. For old times sake.

If you are interested in plot then yes television is a competition to cinema but speaking about visual storytelling and art it isn't really a comparison.
