The Wire (Revisted)

[Elzo69Renaissance]

It was never about a connect

It wsnt the whole reason but it was definitely a part of Avon's decision to let them hit Stringer

Naw man if anything they had already moved on to Prop Joe s package....plus a nigga like Avon can always find a new connect

You right about them moving on, but Muzone basically told Avon he would be cut off in New York...this meant anything his business needed including drugs...Everybody know Avon wanted the crown alone, so that Prop Joe co-op wouldnt have lasted long had Avon been out longer....he never wanted them in is towers to begin with..

Now u getting it....it wasn't bout no drugs or nothing...Muzone was telling Avon if he didn't fix this shit, his name/reputation d be dead in the streets.....it's a parralel to Marlo s my name is my name scene

Some of you have a limited understand of Avon and Stringer...

Avon by all accounts was a bonafide "street nigga". He lived by rules of the game....point blank period.

On the other hand, Stringer Bell was more complex. As Stringer's story unfolded, it was shown that Stringer was not a "street nigga", but a business man whose business was in the streets. There is a huge difference between the two. Stringer's m.o. was maximizimg profits,while minimizing his loses so he could go legit. Stringer was never the killa type, but as a business man he put things in place to make shit happen whenever his progres was threatened. IMO, Avon knew that Stringer was never a street nigga, but kept him around because he was smart. Avon played himself because when he got knocked he left Stringer in the position to call all the shots..so for Avon to turn his back on his brother for a connect was some hoe shit...

I'm gonna leave you with Avon and Stinger's version of Nino and G Money...he could have killed Stringer himself and made a bigger statement to the connect that he's all in,but he lined his guy up because he knew it was wrong despite the shit Stringer had done

nah bruh...

stringer was a street business dude....not a man regular business dude..

thats the difference

its like a street level drug dealer and a pharma sales rep ...they are both the same but one knows who he is and the other thinks he does. string was a street level drug dealer thinking he was trapped an should be a pharma sales rep

Finally finished the series with my late ass

 

[AP21]

Rawls,was a DL fag got he was,that gay bar but they never expanded on it

I didn't get that either, I think they did that tho just to show he's a cowardly person.

nah...they did it to point out the obvious contradiction and overcompensating he had been doing the entire series with making homophobic slurs and references when he would talk to McNulty

come to find out, he is the one who likes men all along

but he has to gay bash to take attention/suspicion away from himself.

 

[nickel-us P]

Just noticed mcnulty's the traitor in 300. Ain't he tried to rape that bitch? Lol

"Let's walk

What's the rule?"

"I know the rule"

"Say it"

"Don't talk in the car

Or on the phone, or in any place that ain't ours

and don't say shit to anybody who ain't us

But it was just you, yo

It's your fuckin' truck

Don't talk in the car

on my 4th viewing of this show

just finished second season

i said this on another site, but if you view season 2 as the glue to the series instead of looking at it from the lack of the barksdale angle, this season is a pretty damn good one

It's Immobilarity angle. When the first one was an instant classic and you depart from the formula of the first one, people aren't even going to give it a chance at first. It'll take a while before anyone gives it a fair chance.

I appreciated season 2 because of what it did to influence season 3 and 4

Word. Season 2 is legit the most important season of the show. If you want to consider it 'boring' because there wasn't a bunch of street niggas trying to kill each other episode...I guess. Shit was pretty interesting to me.

Slim Charles was a real one. He always played his part.

[Mister B.]

I was always satisfied to see Slim take revenge against Cheese, then to get the connect in the end.

Slim was the pawn that played the game as neutral and loyal as he could....and was rewarded in the end.

How we fell about Bodie's character overall?
