Using this thread to record my thoughts on HBO& #39;s hit series The Wire as I watch through it for the first time
S1:E1
- Hour long eps? Think I have all night? (He does - Ed.)
- Theme is a cover of Tom Waits& #39; Way Down in the Hole https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Daumen hoch" aria-label="Emoji: Daumen hoch">
- This guy with the middle fingers is great
- Jay Z track, then Bill Withers? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">
- "MONEY BE GREEN. MONEY FEELS LIKE MONEY"
- "You shot the mouse?"
S1:E2
- The Chicken Nuggets discourse https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Daumen hoch" aria-label="Emoji: Daumen hoch">
- What is the deal with Zellers Mark Wahlberg and his pseudo-Boston accent
- Do Baltimore police really drink at their cars in abandoned areas this often? Go home
- How come McNulty has no bedframe
S1:E3
- "Why are you playing checkers on a chess set?"
- Trying to figure out if McNulty is more of a Bart Simpson or Philip J. Fry
- DMX track in the strip club, RIP
- Lucinda Williams track https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Daumen hoch" aria-label="Emoji: Daumen hoch">
- McNulty you dawg
- *cocks shotgun* "Where it at?!"
S1:E4
- Not so sure about this guy (re: absolutely everyone in this show)
- Public servants finessing the pension system is just peak Ottawa
- Miniature furniture builder man is a real one
- Had it up to HERE with Zellers Mark Wahlberg
- Greggs is the only qualified one
- As an addendum the forensic investigation scene where my guy is chewing the cigar and every single line is an F-bomb is a masterwork
SL:E5
- Not much to say here except that the episode is good
- Omar is a great character
- Old technology is really funny
S1:E6
- Some good scenes but kind of a bridge episode
- The characters are clearly coming into their own
- Go Sens go
