fans of The Wire: which character is your favorite?

[Amid Cent]

Omar clearly.

As an aside, one of my friends had directed several episodes of the Wire. She says that the actor who plays Omar is totally cool. And his scar is real, got it in a bar fight years ago.

Just as a random aside, I was extremely disappointed they didn't keep the S1 intro music for the other seasons. I loved that song. Instead, they remixed it up and made it worse.

That is a Tom Waits song, and season 2 is the original version of that song. All the others are covers.

2. Bodie

Bodie is the nutz, and he's still only the 25th best character on this show.

Goddamn The Wire is good TV.

Not a lot of love for Avon, who I think is fantastic.

Shoutouts for Wallace, Frank Sobotka, and Wee-Bey (his scene where he put his wife in line at the end of Season 4 was insanely awesome).

have you guys seen The Kill Point on Spike? it's a new bank robbery / hostage show starring John Leguizamo. Bodie is his crew and Omar is a swat sniper. Mikey from Kids is also in his crew (sry for not looking up the real names).
The show is sort of bad but very watchable on dvr--but i've only seen the first 2 hr episode.

This poll couldve included a lot more people. I voted marlo but I think bodie and avon are easily top 5 for me.

[TheNoodleMan]

This is some egregious polltarding.

1. OP, you have seen half the show. There are great characters that you haven't even seen yet.

2. You left off numerous great characters that are in the first 2 seasons.
No Avon, no DeAngelo, no Bodie, no mention of anything related to the docks (are you sure you've even seen season 2?)

3. No option for "Other"

I watched the first 3 seasons in 3 days, and season 2 i really didn't like at all. I think its because I watched the last 3 episodes while pissing into empty wine bottles and trying to figure out how to open my eyes and see the PC screen, but it had nothing on seasons 1 and 3.

Gonna hammer through season 4 tonight, love the show immensely.

[ClassicBob]

I've never understood the hate for Season 2. It's a bit slower than the other seasons, but once it gets going, it's fantastic. The last 5 minutes of "Bad Dreams" is some of the best TV I've ever seen, and maybe my favorite Wire moment.

Explain your love of Marlo to me. He's one of my least favorite characters, because he seems too bland. Partlow and Snoop are far more interesting, imo.
