OK, I am officially addicted to The Wire. Yeah, I know, I’m late to the game. But I’m too damn cheap to get cable, so I’ve been missing out on all the good crap. Got addicted to Six Feet Under like you wouldn’t believe. I got the disks from Netflix, which I’m doing now with The Wire. I watch all the episodes on a disk in one night, and then drive to the post office the next morning so that it gets back to Netflix faster. Some days I even contemplate driving the disk to the netflix facility myself. But then I’m not sure how I would get it in the building.
Anyway, back to The Wire. McNulty is actually a lame main character. Sure, he isn’t bad looking, but then he’s a whore. You just know he’s crawling with venereal diseases. But Omar, well, he’s the real deal. Probably not envisioned as a love interest for most viewers, but he has a certain cachet that is (in my humble opinion) irresistible. Yeah, this bad guy oozes charisma, even when he answers a question with one simple word (the way he says “In-deed” gives me shivers). And don’t you know, I just love a guy who carries a shotgun.
hey. Omar is one cool dude, for sure! Which season are you on. I’ve just finished the third and will start watching the fourth pretty soon. It’s addictive shit…
I’m glad someone agrees! Thanks McNulty (and sorry for what I said about you in my post
)
I have in my possession the last episode of season two. Last night I watched Omar shoot Brother Mouzone. I actually thought he would be smarter than that, and figure out he was being set up by Stringer Bell before shooting him. But at least he figured it out before he killed him. I bet Stringer is going to be getting his due. Avon has to find out about D’Angelo and all. I think it is a matter of time before that all blows up. (But don’t tell me if you know!!!!)
Damn, they go so fast! I feel like Bubbles with his addiction, except I get it from Netflix. So sometime today, I will probably finish season two.
