| I love this show, but I think they blew it with the serial killer storyline. I've gotten past the fact that it was so out of character for McN and Freamon. Or that they just dumped McN back into his pre-Beadie ways without much of an explanation. But ... what I cannot get past is that they are having an entire season built around a fake crime. There's no tension because the audience knows it's fake. The only drama is whether McN, Freamon and Sydnor get caught, and I find myself wishing they would. It's just boring. I absolutely love everything else about the show, but I think they missed big with this storyline. It should not have been the central plot thread. There had to be another way to cover the press angle in the series without spinning it off a stupid idea of McN's. |

Now I am confused.

So yeah, shit like that could/does happen, methinks.

He didn't think he could lose. I didn't recall that the charges were a close call at all. I think he was narrowing it down because he just wanted the headline splash and didn't want to concern himself with smaller details. He never saw the "defense" coming.

| The crux of my complaint is not that the serial killer strains credibility. It's completely believeable that the media would run wild with a fake story. The problem is it's boring. |

. I was just hit by the enormity of what McNulty was doing during that briefing, and could barely stand it. The recklessness of the guy is just off the charts.) con? The former was kind of inevitable -- this is Baltimore, we sorta knew from day 1 that C would eventually join the dark side. The scene with his wife was subtle but telling. I think we've lost Carcetti to B'more.
