TheWireTheWire etc. Season 5

I still do not understand how they are going to use their evidence against Marlo, given that it is an illegal wiretap.

After they use the illegal wire tap to make the bust, they'd claim that all the intelligience was given to them by a C.I.
That's why Sydnor told the investigating cops they didn't have to worry about appearing in court and why Lester kicked Rhonda out of his office.

thank you.

5.8 SPOILERS






















Kenard, emulating Omar at the crime scene of the Barksdale shootout (Episode 3.3).  David Simon confirmed yesterday that this is definitely Kenard.  He had it all mapped out that far back.

"MY TURN TO BE OMAR!" -- Kenard.

[Wes]

Oh man, we are now only one Kenard-assassination-of-Marlo away from my chat prediction that the season would end with Kenard running the co-op. I'm feeling pretty smart now.

On the other hand, this is going to make it really difficult for my other prediction - Omar battling Chris Partlow and his lethal army of trained rats in the sewers of Baltimore - to pan out.

Any ideas on how Freamon is planning to use Clay Davis now?

Not necessarily.  Remember that one episode of season 4 where the kids talked about zombies?

[Wes]

Indeed. Actually, right before that episode where they were speculating about his zombie master abilities, I was trying to figure out who Chris Partlow reminded me of. And that episode made the connection for me: The Digger from Marvel.

If Partlow brings Omar back from the dead just to hunt him in the sewers with his rat army, that would finally win over even the staunchest Season 5 doubters, wouldn't it?

Only if Lester is able to decode the rats' squeaks over the wire and determine Partlow's exact location.

Apparently, according to Sepinwall's blog, David Simon confirms that Kenard's actual first appearance was not in Season Four, but in Season Three, where he was seen by Bunk playing with the other kids saying, "It's MY turn to be Omar!" I thought this was interesting.

Awesome!

I'd have to see some photo proof before I believe it.

[wwwes]

Well, I just took Simon's word. It's easy enough to prove/disprove, since the actor would be able to say if he was lying, so I doubt he would be doing so. Not only that, but Thuliso Dingwall's resume on IMDB lists Season 3 as one of his credits.

Someone on TWoP put a montage of photos from that scene together. It's hard to tell, but I can see the resemblance.

I think that montage comes from the crime scene of the Barksdale shootout.  Episode 3.3.

I'm no Bunk Moreland, but I noticed Omar wasn't limping when he went into the store.  I think Omar sent his brother no heart in as a trap to smoke Kenard out.  We'll see in Episode 9, I guess.

I watched the clip again on youtube Omar is limping.

I don't think so.  Either way, the Omar/Kenard show down is going to be intense.
