***************may be a spoiler**********************

just a fyi about how realistic they try to keep the show: the reporter interviewing clay after the grand jury questioning is an actual reporter in baltimore: jayne miller

most of the extras in the news room are current or former journalists for the sun, wash. post, etc.

1/22/2008 8:26:33 AM

yup.

ed norris made another appearance this week too.

1/22/2008 8:44:35 AM

yeah, i caught the dock worker cameo as well. good story arc detail. hard to tell because it was a night scene, but it looked like the guy who worked inside clearing the boxes through on the semis (not the one beadie was involved with)

as far as cheese, debatable. at first i figured they did him first outside, and then prop joe, but i think given his thuggery and recent association withchris and snoop and beating down hungry man, i think maybe marlo will keep him around. he might not be much, but he can watch a corner probably...

1/22/2008 8:49:11 AM

if you are going to post spoilers...how about putting a little space in between the information

1/22/2008 10:15:47 AM

maybe you should pony up for ondemand killa







on second thought, with regard to cheese, im fairly certain now that it was cheese who gave up prop joe to marlo (i.e., set him up and told marlo he was throwing the peace sign for a while), mostly stemming from the "get a gift, give a gift" line

1/22/2008 11:39:37 AM

so i guess episode 4 is ondemand now? i checked yesterday but it wasnt on TWC on demand...if 4 is on demand i'll probably watch through 7 tonight

1/22/2008 11:48:16 AM

its ondemand where i am, with comcast

id say thats a pretty good conclusion since marlo told joe that it was cheese that gave him up.

1/22/2008 11:53:57 AM

i watched it at like 11 last night...and there were people calling interrupting me, so i got lost on some things

Who is the guy Marlo kidnapped for Cheese? I thought it was the guy he got into an argument with at the co-op meeting, but then they showed that guy later in the episode.

1/22/2008 2:15:11 PM

**************************gunzzz alert*****************


it was hungry man....the guy wearing the old people sunglasses at the co-op meeting

not sure where you saw him later in the ep?




******************end of gunnzzzz alert********

1/22/2008 2:20:11 PM

btw i believe this is a tv rip of Episode 4 http://isohunt.com/download/32251524/the.wire but i havent downloaded to confirm

1/22/2008 2:32:47 PM

*********Spoiler Alert***************
















^^Just went back and looked, and the guy I thought was from the co-op meeting that Cheese got into it with was just one of Marlos boys in the rim shop who also had on big glasses.

episode 5 looked like it was gonna be crazy...some damn shootouts indoors...dookie is gettin all gangster too it looks like, or at least part of him wants to

*********************************************************

1/22/2008 3:04:05 PM

******************** GUNNZ ALERT

























there's actually nothing i wanted to say here about the show, i suppose i could repeat over and over and over that prop joe gets shot by chris at the end of the episode because that was the huge event of the ep, but mostly i just wanted to be a d-bag about this whole spoiler bullshit when everyone has it downloaded or on demand...it's not like its episode 1 and motherfuckers are downloading the season before it even airs...






























************* GUNNZ ALERT ENDED*****************

1/22/2008 3:54:19 PM

***************************SPOILER********************************************]




















i wonder if marlo realized that he was talking to The Greek in the restaurant...wonder how all the Marlo shit is gonna play out with Slim and others...what Avon will think of all that shit in the big house...and looks like Cutty is gonna be in episode 5 also...nothing too groundbreaking to add myself but i like using all these asterisks



















****************************************END***********************************

1/22/2008 3:56:32 PM

*****HEY TREETWISTA ALERT****************



























yeah i dunno i dont think marlo realized it was "the greek" but i also don't think he cared...he was meeting with stavos (isnt that his name? i forget), and that was good enough...because that's the connect.

avon, i think is going to be pleased to see one of his old obstacles, prop joe cut out/dead, because that's one less person he has to worry about...and he's built an alliance with marlo by sending him to sergi, but at the same time, marlo has already proven he's the new better, more ruthless generation. there's no "we shot omar's grandmas hat off on sunday morning" with him, and that's going to fuck avon in the end just like how prop joe didn't see the set up from marlo gaining his entire knowledge base on how to be the king...

i think omar goes down soon, although i'd like him to be the last man standing, gunslinger style. i loved when he was mounting up for the hunt, and they were tossing shotguns around, him and his dude....shit was SO western, as they've always alluded to him being...the wild cowboy

man you guys really gayed this thread up quick

1/22/2008 4:04:18 PM

hows that? we're talking about an episode that is available on demand

and i figured everyone did a good job with asterisks to let people know there were spoilers...hell probably too many asterisks

1/22/2008 4:07:02 PM

when one of yall makes it to episode 7 please tell me the name of the rap song playing in the backround when a certain gangsta roles up on the corner kids. In every ghetto scene on The Wire there is always some rap playing in the background, and it is always the best shit ive ever heard

[Edited on January 22, 2008 at 5:22 PM. Reason : 1]

1/22/2008 5:21:32 PM

i'm on episode 4 right now

1/22/2008 5:57:05 PM

^best episode of the whole season

1/22/2008 6:59:04 PM

^^^On a side note, this is from Wiki regarding music on The Wire

Quote :

"The Wire is unusual in utilizing almost only diegetic music; that is, all music must emanate from a source within the scene.[253] For example, police bars play Irish music (in particular the song Body of an American by the Pogues is usually played when showing police wakes in the show), while the street gangs play rap in their cars. This rule is occasionally breached, notably for the season-ending montages and occasionally with a brief overlap of the closing theme and the final shot.[254] "

I never really thought about or noticed it till I read that, but its true.

interview w/ Michael K. Williams on NPR

interviewer is super whitey haha

1/23/2008 6:13:15 PM

1. why is it super whitey? b/c they speak correct english and don't say "my nigga?" fucking racist.

2. it npr, wtf did you expect...rap city or something??

1/23/2008 10:38:30 PM

rwoody

shut the fuck up

1/24/2008 9:22:15 AM

it's super whitey to me

in the sense that dave chapelle makes fun of white newscasters in the use of the tone of voice that black comedians give to white people when they stereotype them, which is usually used in jest, but in this case, is actually the woman's real voice/tone

and so in that sense it's hilarious

1/24/2008 12:38:10 PM

is it as whitey sounding as clay davis?

1/24/2008 1:30:29 PM

its white like barbara walters interviewing omar

"so tell me about your character omar robbing drug dealers!!?"

1/24/2008 1:38:49 PM

hahah terry gross
