The Wire
 
Only the premeir of the greatest show ever written kicks off tomorrow night at 9pm est, and not one person has mentioned it on here. So to all you all bicthes tomorrow night, tune into HBO and watch the best show on TV today, and arguably ever.

The first 2 shows, and a season 5 preview have been leaked.

Boondock Saint 01-06-2008 03:34 AM

Season 5 premiere is on HBO On Demand. It was damn good, as always, and looks like it'll be another great season.

ct2k 01-06-2008 12:00 PM

I dunno whether to recommend people tune in for season 5 or to just tape it and watch the first 4 season first, it'll make it a much more pleasurable experience!

Also cannot fucking wait, problem is I'm in the UK, first two eps have been leaked you say?:naughty:

ct2k 01-06-2008 12:13 PM

welknf'lwkgj'wrijt'lwejt downloading the premiere RIGHT NOW


omg

CSL 01-06-2008 12:24 PM

Man, I've been planning on watching this show for the longest time. Seen the first few eps of season 1, just never seem to find time to watch the rest.

Kane Knight 01-06-2008 02:14 PM

I missed the last season. Am I gonna be totally lost if I tune in to this one?

ct2k 01-06-2008 03:20 PM

To some extent yes I would imagine, season 4 is intensely awesome, even more of a soapbox than the first 3:D

Boondock Saint 01-13-2008 07:05 PM

3 will probably be up on On Demand tomorrow...they seem to be putting them up a week before they actually air. Gonna watch episode 2 2niiiiiiite.

ct2k 01-13-2008 07:37 PM

You'll be OMGing by the end of it I swear Boondock

Lock Jaw 01-13-2008 09:26 PM

Clark Johnson is in this shit? Man, I need to get into this show. I never really did for some inexplicable reason. I loved Homicide: Life on the Street, and The Wire comes from the same source.

ct2k 01-14-2008 07:25 AM

Yeah he's only just come into the fold in season 5 though, definitely worth checking it out right from the start. The acting in general is superb and the writing is pretty much as good as it gets.

ct2k 01-16-2008 10:11 AM

Got ep 3 ready to watch tonight:naughty:

ct2k 01-16-2008 06:00 PM

Fuck it I don't care if I'm the only one still posting in here

OH MY FUCKING GOD


No other show comes close to the Wire, not even the Sopranos, its just leagues ahead...ahem

I just watched ep 3 is all:D

Boondock Saint 01-16-2008 06:29 PM

Still haven't had time to watch 2. :mad: eiotujew9kg4ewt6e

The whole "David Simon/Tom Fontana" network provides me with enough evidence to believe you.

Homicide: Life on the Street was greatness, Oz was greatness, I have no reason to doubt that The Wire would also be greatness. Definitely going to pick up Season 1 on DVD. :y:

Shame about the circumstances:(

Also episode 4 torrent is out, I assume you've seen it by now if you have HBO OD anyway but meh, gonna download that bitch 2niiiite:D


Biggest tragedy of this series is the fact that Simon and co only got 10 episodes to do it, its still fantastic quality but as Simon himself admitted it feels a little rushed compared to the other seasons:-\


Also I'm guessing the theme for this season is essentially lies or lying, some casual fans have been complaining on the IMDB board about it being far-fetched, jumping the shark and such shit, I completely disagree, I think in regards to McNulty in particular the way he's gone is pretty logical considering his personality!

There I said my piece without any spoilers:D

IC Champion 01-21-2008 08:43 PM

Episode 3 was on last night.

ct2k 01-22-2008 09:24 AM

I've been downloading the on demand episodes, got 4 going right now, I think episodes 5-7 were leaked along with the first two a few weeks ago now, doubt I'll bother downloading them all though it'll only leave me a monthlong wait til 8

ct2k 01-22-2008 07:30 PM

No Heart Anthony in the flesh:love:!!

IC Champion 01-22-2008 08:37 PM

I want to see a No Heart Anthony is appear in the show in some way,

ct2k 01-23-2008 06:18 AM

I can't see it happening at this point, he was only ever mentioned in season 1, if he'd been brought up again later on I'd think it more possible.

IC Champion 01-23-2008 03:19 PM

Watched episodes 4,5 and 6 and shits crazy.

ct2k 01-23-2008 07:42 PM

I'm gonna take it week by week like I said, fuckin dyin to see ep 5 though


ARGH

IC Champion 01-23-2008 07:59 PM

I couldnt help it after I saw episode 4 I had to see the rest, I just had too.

IC Champion 01-23-2008 08:00 PM

Also, I've seen episode 7, cant wait to see the second half of the season.

ct2k 01-23-2008 08:06 PM

Gotta say although its rushed I'm still really liking the way the media storyline is fitting in to the whole thing, It adds yet more subtext to the underlying themes of the whole series. This show is so much more than a cop/crime show it is untrue, real shame it gets portrayed as such because the political (ie anything non-street) storylines are so fascinating, I loved the scene in Episode 4 where Burrell cuts the bullshit with Rawls and tells it exactly how it is, also Nareese Campbell is brilliant. I'm loving the way Carver is developing too, his story may end up being the only positive thing to come out of the whole series, hope I've not spoiled anything there.

Boondock Saint 01-28-2008 01:17 PM

Another great episode! Sad death...

ct2k 01-28-2008 02:02 PM

Woah dude darken that font so you don't spoil it for anyone who has yet to find the greatness that is the Wire:p


I'm upto ep 6 now, can't believe I've only got 4 new eps to watch ever:(

But yeah, Marlo is one bad motherfucker, he's still not the soldier Avon is/was though.

ps - LOVING all the cameo's in this season, dock characters, the greek, cutty etc, no Colvin or Prezbo yet though:-\ I think David Simon said the cameo's are like a reward to the viewers for sticking with the show or something:y:

IC Champion 01-28-2008 04:27 PM

only 10 episodes, shit. Im gonna be pissed if Omar dies, I cant see it happening though.

ct2k 01-28-2008 04:30 PM

I'm most worried for Michael right now given Omar's intentions

ct2k 01-28-2008 06:43 PM

Clay Davis is one of the greatest characters ever created:D


Also loving yet another obscure cameo with Savino:y:
