So i pretty much had the same experience as the Sports Guy Bill Simmons (go to item #19) in becoming obsessed with this show. Don’t even own a TV and managed to watch all the episodes on demand this final season. Here’s a great interview with creater David Simon
if anyone cares, my favorite 5 characters were (in order):
1. Michael
2. Bodi
3. Slim Charles (j’yeah!)
4. Marlo
5. Vondas!
Josh’s Top 5:
1) Omar Little
2) Senator Clay Davis… sheeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
3) Bubbles (strung out)
4) Cheese getting capped at the end by Slim.
5) Ziggy getting revenge
Fave season: 2 (shipyards)
i’d have to agree with season 2 being the best. seems that many people hate on that season, but i think it’s the best, kind of like the ‘empire strikes back’ of the series. afterall, that’s where you first witness the cops seeing the connect between stringer and prop joe. plus i love the sobatkas…. r.i.p. frank.
