TheWireTheWireTheWire: Who is your favorite character?

[Martin]

"Never interfere in a boy and girl fight."

[jane]

Every time I see McNulty I think of William S. Burroughs' advice:



Avoid fuckups. You all know the type. Anything they have anything to do with, no matter how good it sounds, turns into a disaster.

Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill. Tell them firmly, "I am not paid to listen to this drivel. You are a terminal fool."

Is that from Junky, buffcoat, or somethin' else?

[Dorvid Barnas]

Michael K. Williams to appear in Season 2 of Human Giant!

[John Junk]

Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill. Tell them firmly, "I am not paid to listen to this drivel. You are a terminal fool."

This is kinda evil but also pretty amazing and right on. 

[buffcoat]

JJ - I'm pretty sure he means the "nontraditionally mentally ill."

[Omar]

Omar on Fresh Air.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Oh, man, I thought Terry Gross interviewed you about your Best Show recaps.  And that you started referring to yourself in the third person.  Both of which I would be all for.

[Sarah]

Omar on . . .

I will concur with Mike about Brother Mouzzone and Omar. I love The Wire and almost all the characters, but those two always struck me as kind of absurd. They are supermen killers and all the character traits they give them seem contrived. I think Michael K. Williams makes Omar work, but the character is over-written.

Favorite characters for me are: Rawls, Freamon, Carcetti's assistant and Doughnut.

RIP Wire/Corner staff writer David Mills.  Died of a brain aneuryism Tuesday after collapsing on the set of Treme.

[Martin]

Sad news.

[Omar]

Mills was a great man.
