Re: fans of The Wire: which character is your favorite?
Marlo is pretty sweet. "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way."
Frank Sobotka is my pick. A truly great tragic figure of American drama. The scene where he yells at his lobbyist about drinking Tang is awe-inspiringly fantastic.
Prezbo and Bodie are remarkable for their character development, but I'd spoil S4 to go into more detail.
I also hate Brother Mouzone. Comic book character, just too overplayed.
My favorite String line, which is IMO way underrated, is in Season 3 when Bodie meets him at the waterfront. Bodie tells him he got arrested and Stringer tells him "You shouldn't sell drugs." Brilliant.
