shadowkatHee. The Wire keeps getting better as it goes...and part of the reason is just about every story is written by David Simon. Never seen a head-writer with more control over his end product.
Yo, Bushy-Top. My new favorite nickname for McNulty. Otherwise known as McNuty. Or now..hee, Bushy-top. Bunny - you are definitely my new favorite character, with Ms. Keli Dagostino (not to be confused with the restaurant chain) a close second. McNulty - you have met your match.
Funniest scene?
Several of the inmates, Bunk is forced to interview.
Inmate one: "I don't know if that dink has the gun, or dinky dink does, or no, that dink he is dead, but maybe it is dunk, nah might be dinky dunk."
Inmate 2: sure it has to be one particular gun, because I can get you guns, all sorts of guns.
Inmate 3: I'm not telling you anything unless you can clear me of my murders.
Bunk: How many murders are we talking about?
Inmate holds up four fingers.
Bunk's expression? Classic.
Yes, I have a sick sense of humor, this we know. Some people find Liz Lemon tripping over herself on 30 Rock funny, I find the conversation related above hilarious. But I also find the line - "you just killed my fairy godmother funny as well."
I'm loving Bunny though - Stringer isn't sure what to make of Bunny, neither is Bodie for that matter. Bunny has decided to move all the drug dealers to Hamsterdam - a place with vacant buildings and no people. Only problem? No customers. So Carver and Herc go to the corners, arrest the dudes not moving to Hamsterdam, and bus their customers to Hamsterdam to buy dope. This leaves Bubbles partner Johnny confused. Wait, the cops picked me up, bused me over here and told me what dope to buy, watched me buy it and let me go? What's that about?
The only problem they are having is well Marlo, don't want to play. This annoys both Stringer and the cops. Carver and Herc try to push Marlo, Marlo pushes back, Carver realizes they are outnumbered (he doesn't know that Kima is above watching and has a call into Prez for potential back-up), and asks Herc to back-off. Bodie tells Stringer later about the cops herding them to Hamsterdam and letting them sell dope, and about the problem with Marlo, which Stringer already knows about.
Backing up a bit, we have a great scene with Bunny and the detail. Bunny has tried everywhere, but no one at headquarters has any info on the drug dealers, until he finds Daniels little runt unit - the detail or The Wire, and sure enough they have plenty of information. During all this in walks McNulty and Bunny embraces him, shocking all present, including yours truly, and calls him Bushy-top. Tells Daniels - that Bushytop is a trouble maker sure, and you got to keep him close, but he's good police, good police don't get better than old Bushy-top here. Tis true. McNulty is the classic noir hero - and I adore him.
Actually this episode is splattered with good moments. Kima and Bushytop in the car watching Marlo.
She's pulled his ass there. Knowing he wants Stringer as bad as she does. He's given up on Stringer.
Having learned that Stringer is the bank. After following him for weeks, he finally confronted the dude. And Stringer being Stringer tried to sell him a condo.
Lester: You got anything on Stringer yet? Your time is up.
McNulty: He tried to sell me a condo.
Lester: Told you he's gone legit and has real estate holdings.
McNulty: Yep. Now he's The Bank.
Prez: The bank?
And Lester explains that the bank can't be touched. There's nothing working police can do to tie any can onto his ass.
(Sigh, I'm like a mimic, I pick up the lingo or slang of any tv show, book or film I'm watching, also anyone I'm with. Hope it's not too annoying that half my journal posts sound like the lingo from the Wire at the moment. Doesn't help that some of this is similar to the slang and speech used in my workplace. Not a lot, but some. A co-worker used motherfucker last week.)
So Kima - phones McNulty and says meet me here. McNulty whines after a bit in her car training binoculars on Marlo...but sure enough Stringer pops up. Hee.
And yes, a brief Omar sighting, while Bunk keeps trying to solve the mystery of Tosha's death - even though Landsman keeps interferring and making him go back to the lost gun case. Omar is pulling his team together, they are still mourning Tosha. Makes you love that team - to date Omar's team and maybe the Detail are the only one's who get broken up over losing someone. Although Avon did get upset about D. (I still think Avon's going to be the one to kill Stringer - because of D'Angelo. McNulty was on to something...he just didn't know it.)
Meanwhile Tommy C is making everyone sweat over some kid who got hurt who was a corroborator but not
well protected. Is this Nick Sobotke...or someone else? This thread was a bit harder to follow.
Carcietti's partner makes Burrell and Rawls sweat a little over it. Rawls bites back and makes the new major of CID sweat over the missing gun. Seriously, these people worry about the wrong things and spend far too much time crunching numbers. Reminds me a lot of my workplace or the various ones I've been in.
Gotta go to bed. Sorry if I haven't responded to all comments. Love getting comments, just don't always know what to do with them or how to respond. Never have figured that one out. Also, don't always have the time. Often do it at lunch at work...and sometimes right when I get home or first thing in the morning. Also don't email notifications from LJ anymore regarding comments to my own posts - so I have to check the comments on lj directly. Also, I sometimes won't respond if I'm not sure what to say...I've gotten myself in trouble for saying the wrong thing at times.

Date: 2011-07-14 12:16 pm (UTC)Actually, I shouldn't complain - I've done the same thing to people with Game of Thrones...you know what is coming and can see how it's set up and it's very hard not to spoil the person who hasn't gotten there yet.
And you've met Marlo now, have you? Nasty piece of work, Marlo.
Oh yes. Scary dude. The man knows no fear and is a bit on the sadistic side. He scared Carver. Not Herc, but definitely Carver and Bodie.
