Yeah it was, check it out on Tv-Links : Free Movies links, Watch Tv Shows links online, Anime, Documentaries

I'd use the videobb link, shit is always legit. 240p resolution, but it works for me.

*Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson - drug dealer, murderer, plays herself more or less

DID YOU NOTICE NEARLY THE ENTIRE CAST OF THE SERIES IS EITHER WEAK, INSECURE, UNSTABLE, OR A BLATANT VILLAIN?

I find it interesting that you give Bubbles a star despite being the single most generous and big hearted character and you dont give Carcetti one. No doubt in my mind which is a bigger piece of shit.

UB : you really need move beyond Ad Hominem attacks. You should be better than this but you always seem to resort to these arguments.

Being generous does not change the fact that bubbles was a drug addict and a thief ... my point has been that every character has redeeming qualities in the show, very few are not fundamentally flawed people. I had forgotten about Carcetti cheating on his wife ... so I probably would have given him a star for that, other than that all he did was make a questionable "bro move" with his buddy running for office.

I've changed my mind.

Right now my favorite character is Frank Sobotka.

Saint DH · 09-28-2011, 02:41 PM

I actually liked Frank Sobotka quite a bit, too, despite his being such a dumb bastard. I really didn't like season 2 though. About 3/4th through season 3 right now, and it's gotten much better again. Loved season 1. I like Barksdale and McNulty a lot more now as the story has progressed.

Ugly Bastard · 09-28-2011, 03:04 PM

If I had to choose, I'd say season 3 is my favorite.

Frank wasn't dumb. He just had a giant blue collared heart.

I've started season 5.

Mr. Blonde · 12-07-2011, 08:40 PM

Finally getting into this show. This scene was cool.

Damnit.

I don't think you're going to like The Wire.

I enjoy watching this Omar fellow. He is quite the character.

Indeed.

thekremlin · 12-09-2011, 08:35 AM

I'm going to venure a guess and say DH doesn't like him.

Mr. Blonde · 12-31-2011, 12:26 AM

Finished first season today. Downloading season 2. Pretty bomb shit, guys.

Really liked the last 2 eps especially. A lot of "fuck the man" shit going down, at the cost of jobs and positions. Me likey. Sucks about Mcnulty, but i'm sure he''ll find his way off Riverguard or whatever.

Stringer Bell is one intimidating motherfucker

Ugly Bastard · 12-31-2011, 02:23 AM

I'm jealous. What I would give to be able to go through it again for the first time.

A friend of mine often asks people this very question: how much would you give to be able to watch it for the first time again? His answer is A LOT.

Fucking Christ man, you are slow as balls ... me and the girlfriend started (me for the second time through, her the first) about the same time you did and are halfway through Season 4 ... what do you do with all your time?

Mr. Blonde · 12-31-2011, 09:06 AM

Unfortunately, i'm watching it with my roommate, and our schedules are pretty off-sync. Especially with my new schedule -- i'll probably start watching solo because he and I will barely ever be around.

Seems like it's a cooler show to watch with another person though.

Its a cool show to be able to consume at a monstrous pace too.

Anyone else pick up that Cheese is Randy's dad?

Ugly Bastard · 01-15-2012, 10:08 PM

Not sure I remember making that connection. How is it revealed?

DJ FC · 01-16-2012, 02:45 AM

Dear God I love the Wire.

What if The Wire was literally about a wire in an electronics device?
