Anyone have a truckload of Kleenex?

Thanks, heh.

Here's the Magic Button. Click it, and I promise everything will be okay:

That is excellent.

Wee Bay's son is fine.

And McNulty will be back in season 5 (although I can't say I missed him that much in season 4)

[sabotabby]

I think what I liked best about S5 was that McNulty was barely in it.

[marlowe1.livejournal.com]

He was off doing that Punisher movie with the guy from Rome. He does have some good moments in season 5, but I liked that he stopped being the focus.

I am not a huge fan of the show but McNulty in Season 5, no spoilers but the Obviously Bad Subplot was the worst thing that happened on the show, for me.

[ironed_orchid]

Yep.

Some redeeming features:

Mr Prezbo found something he could do better than being than being a police, Carver really matured, and Herc got fired.

Bunny remains awesome.

Some of the boys are in season 5.

[bcholmes.livejournal.com]

and Herc got fired.

I remember when I watched that season, I soooooo wanted consequences for Herc, and I knew that it was a show that didn't often give characters the consequences they deserved.

[marlowe1.livejournal.com]

Actually all of the boys are in season 5 - it's just that two of the main four are in every episode with guest spots for the other two.

But Kenard is totally in season 5 and that's awesome, right?

[ironed_orchid]

I actually just finished my re watch of season 5 on Saturday, and was trying to give Sabs stuff to look forward to; without going into too much detail.

[sabotabby]

I totally love Bunny adopting Namon. One big awesome family!

I was expecting Prezbo to get fired, actually, and was pleased when he didn't and Herc did.

[ironed_orchid]

I loved the conversation between Wee-bey and Bunny.

[marlowe1.livejournal.com]

FB has made me want to hit like on statements that I emphatically agree with. But that was possibly one of the best moments on television and right up there with Bunk calling out Omar.

No kleenex ...

[ed-rex.livejournal.com]

... but maybe some wild boar sex will help?



Because I care, and because I was there, maybe 8 metres away. (Sorry we didn't get a photo of the penis — which is weird and awesome — but Raven was distracted by a more active ibex on the other side of the road.)

[sabotabby]

That is lovely and kind of disturbing.

So' yer icon lady!

(And also: hilarious.)

There are youtube videos called "Bunny humps kitten". I watched a couple. I felt dirty afterwards.

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

*hugs* and Kleenex

Oh, yeah. That finale really kicks you in the gut in all sorts of ways. At least Namon came out good, but I think he was pretty much the only one.

[slantedtruth.livejournal.com]

Sigh, Dukie (cries)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

It was Randy that made me cry the hardest in the corridor scene :/

[constintina.livejournal.com]

I just ran out of kleenex myself or I would give you it. Season 5 is way better than a lot of people say, imho. But season 4 is my favorite. <3

Oh my heavens, I found this link a few minutes ago and broke speed records clicking over to here to link you.

Reimagining The Wire as a Victorian era novel.

Later, they've written a whole book of critical examination of that "novel."

They have a few sample pages and illustrations, too.

[sabotabby]

Holy crap, that looks amazing. TL;DR for the next month, but I'll have to check it out at some point.
