I love when Bodie is talking to Stringer and they have a Wire up.
String: "I suggest you don't sell drugs"

Carcetti's big speech (more of less his candidacy announcement) at the end of season 3 was pretty stirring.

Bubbles and Bunny overlooking the wreckage of Hamsterdam.

"and wherever you go, it'll be my word that finds you."

chilling

jules22,

episode 11 of season 3 is my favorite episode of any series ever, but i don't know how you could have left out the two best parts of that episode:

-the opening scene, with the standoff between brother mouzone and omar (i don't love mouzone's character, but it was a really cool scene) in the dark alley.

-and the scene on the balcony in avon's apartment with stringer and avon reminiscing after they had each betrayed the other.

Love the scene where Stringer is in the back of his vehicle, and calls his broker to sell off all his phone stocks. He realizes that when the lowest pit hood has two cell phones, the market is inundated.

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.

Bar none, my favorite scene is the one where D teaches Bodie and Wallace how to play chess in Season One. That was the moment where the show went from one I liked to one I began to love.

prettymuch anything mcnulty says, or instance when he constantly repeats "the [censored] did i do?" or my ersonal favorite

My wife, the way she deals with [censored] sometimes, you would think a lesser man, a cruder man, a man less sensitized to the charms and value of women...not me, but a man like that...he just might just call her a c**t.
