TheWireTheWire etc. Season 5

[pmuse]

SPOILERS:



What was the significance of what Clay Davis told Lester in Episode 9?  Has Rhonda Pearlman been leaking information to Levy?  The leak inside the DA's office came up earlier with Prop Joe.  She is the only attorney we really know, and in an earlier season, I remember when she refused to help McNulty do something against Levy.

EDIT:

After re-watching the scene and consulting wikipedia, it seems like the rat might be Gary DiPasquale.

It's absolutely not Rhonda.  She was genuinely surprised about the leak, and discussed it with Bond.  Not to mention that it would completely sell out her character.

My one day on the set was Snoop's last day.  I took this photo of her as she left for the very last time, seconds after yelling a final good-bye to everyone. 
She didn't get into a car or the shuttle van that carried people from the parking lot to the set.  We were in her neighborhood, I'm guessing, because she just kind of strolled off alone into the sunset.

In the photo she's laughing at me, probably because I took the photo while dressed as a police officer.  Given her journey, to see someone in a BPD uniform taking a fan-photo of her, I can see why she'd find that hilarious.  It must've been a very surreal and satisfying moment for her; it sure was for me. 

Forgive the self-indulgence, but I've been sitting on that anecdote for a few months and thought it was worth sharing with youse guys.

Has Chris L.'s car appeared yet? Did I miss it?

It'll be in the finale... I think.  Sadly, I doubt my WFMU bumper sticker made the cut.

I didn't snap any exciting pics, but the extra who was sitting behind me sent me this cellphone pic:

What is Herc's relationship with Levy? I thought he was a client and then in the last episode he's sitting in on Snoop's counseling session. Did I miss something?

He's working for Levy as a legal investigator.

I'm still wondering whether Herc realized that Levy would likely use that info about the illegal wire investigation to have the case thrown out.

B_Buster, do you watch the show while you do the dishes?

B_Buster, do you watch the show while you do the dishes?

ZING!!!!


I watched "The Departed" with a hyperactive med student who was on her laptop throughout the movie.  She must have asked 500 questions.  Therefore, I kind of still don't understand the plot. 

LEO:  "Hi, Uncle Jimmy."

MED STUDENT:  "Who's THAT guy?"

buffcoat (mumbling and grinding teeth to cut down on the tension): "He just SAID it was his UNCLE.  It HELPS if you pay ATTENTION to the MOVIE."

B_Buster, do you watch the show while you do the dishes?

Are you kidding? I think I just may have a thing against "Dickensian" cop shows. Frankly, I'd much rather watch The First 48. At least they have the courtesy to throw up captions for the marble mouths.

Also, I admit to finding long stretches of The Wire boring. It also might help if characters didn't pop in for 10 seconds and then disappear for hours. Anyone else looking forward to the return of Pryzbylewski in the finale (he's been gone so long from the show he grew a beard!)? Me neither.

[Jouster]

B_Buster, do you watch the show while you do the dishes?

Are you kidding?

Yeah.

Really, though, I admire your commitment to your wrongheaded, unfun anti-The Wire stance.  You're in the final stretch now!

[B_Buster]

No doubt. I'm thinking of having a Wire finale party! I'm trying to work out a betting pool thing. I've already predicted a Dickensian end for Bubbles, but I think I'm going to have to include Dukie now in the race for that truly Dickensian tragic ending. Who else should I include in my pool?

Dorvid, that is an amazing story (seriously) That must've been eating you up for the last couple months

Thanks, Brian. 
Given how long I've had to think about it, I should have been able to write about it more eloquently, but it is a true story, so help me Gus.
