Amazing analysis. I wanted to think a little longer and think about something more coherent to say, but I can’t stay away – WOW!
*blushes* Thank you. I'm a little lost for words after such praise, but it's very nice to hear! :D It was fun to write too. To think about what I liked, and why and the coherence of the series. Great fun - and now I want to do Deadwood more than ever. ;)
the boundaries of gender and gender-specific behaviour
This is a very good point, and one that I completely forgot. And yes - Brianna is as hard as they come. Ah, "The Wire" - it touches upon so many interesting topics, and they manage to do so without ever being bland. It's truly amazing.
And the scene with Omar in court was so, so good! His outfit, his tie, his attitude etc. He is just one of the most incredible characters I have seen in a long time. And my heart just broke for him when he met with Stringer, and Stringer told him that Brother Mouzone had killed Brandon. I suspect that will come back to haunt Stringer btw. he manipulated Omar, and judging by Omar's reaction at the end it will not be pretty. Now I know Stringer's fate - but not the how and where's - so bear in mind that I'm only guessing.
I had absolutely the same reaction :).
It's good to hear. ;D I was just sitting there, managing nothing more coherent than: "Um...oh my...um..."
