The Wire

[Blinken]

Yablo, I think I read somewhere that the finale is near 2 hours. Anything extra is simply icing on the cake.

I hope this true.

[thinnerair]

Its very much a character driven show, and it took me almost all of season one to really get to know the main players. But I love it. Keep watching, its worth it.

There is little on TV more awful than a drunk McNulty.
It's utterly painful to watch and almost ruins the show for me.
Almost.

Season 5 with it's incessant drunk McNulty scenes already has much to overcome.

Dammit Dave, no S5 spoilers.

When I get home from work tonight, I'm going to have 3 sweet, sweet S2 DVDs in my mailbox. I've been thinking about it all day.

[thinnerair]

i m still waiting for the last disc of S1. Dammit. I might rent that tonight and give our local video store some business.

How is me telling you about the many Drunk McNulty's a spoiler?

It's not like I told you how Bunk got shot!
Whoops.

You mother. fucker.

Unless you want the greater board area to know your home address and ss#, you will not post any more Wire spoilers.

Stated.

fuckin tell his ass!

Oh man episodes 3 and 4, season 2. We need to split this thread into seasons. I feel like it's the only way. Is anybody else on season 2 and want to discuss it?

McNulty is by far the least interesting character in the whole show, I agree. I'd like the episodes to be re-edited with even more niggers, fewer micks, thank you.

Name one mick you fuckpig.

[thelastgreatman]

Um... MCNULTY.

[full on idle]

...is Scottish.

[thelastgreatman]

Did you really (a) not know that McNulty is Irish, and beyond that (b) not be able to deduce that from my post?

[full on idle]

you fuckpig

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_McNulty

McNulty is an Irish American detective in the Baltimore Police Department.

[thelastgreatman]

Perhaps you should defer to people that have been watching the series every week since its inception instead of coming in all red-bushed and know-it-all.

[full on idle]

McNulty is a Scottish name. You're still a fuckpig,

[thelastgreatman]

And yet the McNulty in question was not. And McNulty is a Welsh name, with roots in both Scotland and Ireland and spread through to England. If it was MacNulty you might have a stronger argument. In either event, your basis is irrelevant because you are wrong.

Wikipedia is your blankie.

[thelastgreatman]

I don't need Wikipedia to always be right. It's just an easy reference point to show the rest of you that you're wrong.

I just watched the first four seasons in succession as preparation for season five, so season two is definitely still fresh in my mind. I could discuss this show for days.

[Blinken]

McNulty is Irish. Ronda Pearlman tells him in one scene that "there is nothing more useless to a woman than a drunken irishman" Season 2 I believe.

[Yablonowitz]

I will hear no more McNulty bashing. Cease and Desist.

[full on idle]

Yeah, I was wrong about McNulty's heritage, I got pwned by Li'l Wang's Wikipedia blankie. I was just having fun calling him fuckpig.

PEABS let's do it. Season 2.

[Blinken]

where are you in season 2?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I thought this thread was about the music magazine...

[full on idle]

where are you in season 2?

I just finished episodes 3 and 4. SPOILERS














Last thing that happened was the union boss guy was freaking out in the bathroom because the cops came to the bar and told him the dead girls in the can were gonna be homicide. I feel like his reaction indicates that he knew they were in there. I'm so glad the cop gang's all back together even if that one cop won't let McNulty off the boat patrol. That one guy who fucked up blinded that kid in the pit during season one is turning out to be good Police. I can't fucking believe that Stringer Bell is banging D'Angelo's baby momma and Avon's gonna be pissed if he finds out. I love Bubbles and is his sidekick the guy who played the kid with Aids in Kids? McNulty's wife is a cold ass bitch but I wonder if they're going to get back together.
