Amazing analysis. I wanted to think a little longer and think about something more coherent to say, but I can’t stay away – WOW!
I love your analysis about groups and group behaviour. It was interesting for me that also the boundaries of gender and gender-specific behaviour were explored in “The Wire”, especially with Kima and Brianna. If anyone is as hard as nails it is Brianna IMHO. :)
it’s this stripped down, cut to the bone look.
At the same time it really “hit” me how many clear beautiful colours were used in “The Wire”. How stylish it is and at the same time doesn’t put even a tiny little bit of glazing over reality.
I get the feeling that it’s his disloyalty (even if it’s with Avon best in mind) that is the biggest betrayal
I dunno, I haven’t seen season 3 yet, but I have a very bad feeling that S’Angelo’s murder will be a stumbling block for Stringer. That at the end, it is all about the group, about “the family” and that D.Angelo’s murder will be important.
There is also no (not enough?) squeeing about Omar, and how Lt. Daniels is on the track to becoming one of my favourite characters
My love for Omar knows no bounds :) The scene with him in the court – my favourite scene in season 2.
There is no mention of the scene where Daniels answers his phone dressed in nothing but boxers. I know there was plot-relevance in that scene, but damn if I got it.
I had absolutely the same reaction :). And he has that panter-like grace of movements!!
