Default Re: favorite scenes from the wire (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS)

jules: good one w/ the grin

ceczar: the commentary said a train in the intro scene just randomly passed as they were filming, which is awesome

also, in one of the commentaries, david simon said there was some metaphor involving the train (all those scenes where they drink by the trains), but wouldn't reveal it. anyone know what this is? it definitely wasn't easily noticeable, it might be if it's going towards or away from them.

he mentioned the blinds in the police briefing room are open in happier scenes and closed when things are bad. anyone notice or hear about something similarly detailed?

The blinds are open when the truth is being told, and they are closed when things are being juked/covered up.

Haven't been able to figure out the train, but I haven't researched or thought about it extensively.
