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

"Your way... it will not work" is the culmination of an absolutely sublime montage sequence. I found it on youtube, but it doesn't work as well stripped of its context. It's a great moment, though, where we've witnessed just how complex a course of events has led to this particular crossroad, and still Frank's fate is sealed in large part due to the Greek's serendipitous fortunes. So gutting.

Great scenes in The Wire are dime a dozen, but that's the main one that stands out to me.

Unlike most other people, though, I can't stand the [censored] investigation scene with Bunk and McNulty in season 1. So contrived. It's the only thing in the series to date that makes me cringe every time. I don't get the love for this at all.
