The Wire S05E04 "Transitions"

"Out of respect for the man's [Omar's] skill-set..." I love the way Prop Joe talks.

Whatever happened to whatever they were putting up were the towers went down?

Carver looks gooooood in that uniform.

It's nice to see how Marlo slowly comes to respect Prop Joe.

Every new person in a position of power (Mayor, Police Commissioner) gets told by a predecessor that the job involves eating shit.

The Wire, or, Men Talking About The Good Old Days of Being (Police, a Gangster, a Newspaper Reporter, a Union Worker, a Politician, a Schoolteacher)

Oh hey, it's Herc!

So is Kima babysitting just for practice talking to kids?

I bet Elena would get a smug satisfaction out of seeing Jimmy fall into his old ways.

This episode is about things that *mean* something. (Herc's discussion with Carver, Prop Joe about his (grand?)parent's house).

Marlo also seems colder than the other gangsters because he keeps killing these characters we know and love.
