fans of The Wire: which character is your favorite?

[ua1176]

Omar, definitely: "money ain't got no owners....just spenders."

So hard to choose, I think I'd go with Omar, he seems like the only person on the show who isn't letting himself get crushed by the powers that be, but Bunk's lines are so good, McNulty and Stringer are just amazing characters and well, everyone rocks.

But OP I would be very careful with these kinds of threads until you finish watching to the end of season 4.

I think Rawls would get some votes were he included. Avon too maybe.

I went with Bunk. "You happy now, bitch?"

How can you all not give Bunk the love???

Classic Bunk(may not be verbatim):

Bunk: Everyone has to know their roles.

Lester: What's your role, then?

Bunk: I'm just a humble muthaf*er with a big d*ck.

Lester: I think you're giving yourself too much credit.

Bunk: You're right. I ain't all that humble.

Awesomeness. The whole "You know what the plural of pussy is? Pussii. I learned that in Catholic school" and wailing for Jimmy scene in season 4 is one of my favorite Bunk moments; also let's not forget him setting all of his clothes on fire to get rid of carpet fiber evidence.

I agree with the Bubbles hate.

What's wrong with Bubbles? I think that dude nails the desperation and inner struggle of the addicted man.

disclaimer: I've only seen up to midway season 3

Random aside: where is season 4 on DVD? I want it so bad.

[T-God]

1. Omar
2. Bodie

It isn't yet, as far as I can tell. They'll probably release it shortly before Season 5 comes out, if previous release patterns are any guide. A guy I know found all of it out on the internet a while ago, though, and I actually just watched all of it in the last week. Not sure how easy that is at this point but it's possible.

Yeah... I'm usually pretty good about spoilers (especially for The Wire) but I think I spoiled end of S3 in some random thread (sorry to I think Pudge). I just assume most people have seen through S4, obviously not a good assumption.

My friend spoiled the Rawls reveal and a Prop Joe related thing. Dick, I wanted to punch him in the face (but couldn't because he lent me all the DVDs).

FWIW Bubs is MUCH better as a hustler than as a Junkie. He ruled with the hats in S1
