Re: The Wire: Season Five (see post #1 re: SPOILERS)

Well, I just got through this season (thanks, Netflix), and I realize this morning how "Herc did it again!" First time to Randy, this time to Dokie, abeit inadvertenly.

-Herc gets Marlo's cell number from Levy's rollerdeck
-An illegal wiretap is set up, busting Marlo and most of his crew
-Suspicion is led to Michael as being the rat
-Michael must pick up stakes and blow town, with Dokie and little brother in tow
-Dokie is set adrift

Nice going, Herc. Nice to see you're getting promotions. (I'm very depressed.)

I've been rewatching The Wire recently and it put me in the mood to resurrect this thread. I'm sure there's others out there but I found a You Tube video with the (self-proclaimed) 100 greatest quotes from The Wire. Needless to say, it's not suitable for work and there's spoilers galore.

Probably the best one also sums up the entire series: "It makes me sick, motherfucker, how far we done fell".

Cool--I actually saw that exact link today on fark.com, and it made me want to rewatch the entire series again.

For what it's worth, I think the best line, and one the sums up the series is "thin line 'tween heaven and here."

I'll have to watch that when I get home.  So many good lines.  One of my favorites was Omar squaring off with Brother Mazzone and saying something along the lines of "This is a 50 cal.  Even if I miss you I can't miss."

Speaking of Brother, I like when Prop Joe says how he's "got more bodies on him than a Chinese cemetery".
