[/ QUOTE ] Was going to note the same thing, nice juxtaposition. Solid ep. Acting felt a little off in some spots, but still really enjoying the plot, and I like the angle their taking involving the kids. Question though, What's the deal with Dennis (Boxing Coach) and the long shots of him staring at the one kid? I felt at first maybe they were going somewhere nutty like him perhaps attempting to molest him or something, I dunno, confuzzled.

Maybe not.

Re: The Wire 4.2 Thread
Not sure how long he was in, don't think they ever said, but implied it was a while. I don't know, just doesn't seem to be in his character to do something like that, but they really showed him focusing on that one kid for a while, I don't know, maybe he knew her mother, or something.
I dunno.

He noticed him working the bad, and then later in the show offered to coach him. I thought this ep was really good. I loved the little look between Bubbles and Prez in the school. Also enjoy Jay Landsman [censored] people just a little. He's just a fantastic character.

Re: The Wire 4.2 Thread
The "Bubs Depo" sign on the shopping cart was classic.
The only issues I have with this fine series are: 1. The surveillance: cops in cars on stakeout or on rooftops going undetected, especially in prior seasons. Please. 2. Slingers getting surprised by cops suddenly zipping around the corner. Even small-time dealers in Oakland have lookouts everywhere.
