Interesting artcile on HBO's The Wire

[JPantz]

I feel like you can't fully appreciate The Wire until you've lived or spent a considerable about of time in Baltimore.

"and what is your occupation?"

"Occupation?"

"What exactly do you do for a living?"

"I rip and run."

"Youuuu..."

"I robs drug dealers."

"and exactly how long has this been your occupation?"

"I venture to say maybe about, 8 or 9 years"

"How does a man rob drug dealers for 8 or 9 years and live to tell about it?"

"Day at a time, I suppose"

Possibly the single best scene in the history of the show.

I will submit that the opening scene of this series ("This is America.") is better.

This correct.

Close second place:
Jimmy and Bunk working the crime scene in the County. One word is used, albeit 45 times.


This really helps in recommending the show (which should be easy enough since it's the best I've ever seen).

I tell people to watch the first scene of the first episode.

If they can't get into that, then they just won't get it.

"Gots to. This America man."

Thread suggestion: Best Wire scene ever.

Much potential for vicious debate.
