Like Scott, I thought that the Wire finale was fantastic. Three of the four great HBO dramas have had great final episodes; Deadwood is the tragic exception. A couple of very random thoughts...It had occurred to me before I read this interview with David Simon...
the wire
I wish Adam Sternbergh wouldn't project his philistinism on me: "For everyone who felt cheated by the stubbornly ambivalent series finale of The Sopranos — which is to say, everyone.".
Damn. Just.... damn.
Marlo Stanfield vs. Michael Corleone?Consider this a Wire finale open thread. Those who fear spoilers, beware.
Han Solo vs. Jimmy McNulty?
Chris Partlow and Felicia "Snoop" Pearson vs. Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield?
Bubbles vs. Renton?
"Diamond" Joe Quimby vs. Senator Clay Davis?
Discuss the final scene of episode four of the season five of the Wire. This is apt to be a spoiler rich environment, so those waiting for the DVDs should.
Regarding episode 3...The Sun narrative is getting worse; it feels like I'm watching some combination of Shattered Glass and Office Space. Did we really need the "advertising revenues are dropping".
