ThisIsTheGirl wrote:Probably my favourite scene of the first 3 seasons was the conversation between Bunk and Omar in episode 31, "Homecoming". It's possibly the first time we ever see Bunk display some genuine emotion, rather than his standard wisecracking hilarity. When he's shaking his fist in Omar's face, I was kind of astonished at the way the actor was able to convey his character's feelings about Omar - I even got the impression that he hates Omar so much because he sees elements of himself in Omar. Fucking awesome scene.
as per usual, astute analysis. He's disappointed in this "brother", and scolds him like he would a real brother. Part of the brilliance of The Wire is how the writers, through the various machinations of plot, get these disparate characters together to further illuminate said characters.
Episode #7
Omar Little, ass stabber! The reference book armor was brilliance...saved by an income tax manual! The Golden Rule, Man's gotta have a code...the interactions between Bunk and Omar, previously mentioned above, are exemplary.
"DARK HORSE!" Heh.
Landsman..."Fuck me, I need a hobby."
"Trick 'em into thinking they aren't learning, and they do."
Fuzzy Dunlop...great call-back joke.
and poor Bubbles. Poor, poor Bubbles. Thank you writers, it isn't enough I'm emotionally wrecked over the lives of the children, now you've gotta throw all this shit at poor Bubs.
How much does Carcetti look like
the current mayor of Baltimore? And how about the "how" Carcetti got in? "And this f**k Carcetti gets to be the mayor behind the stupidity. I f**king love this town." Show them studly slobs what's what, Kima.
Yay Pearlman! Yay Daniels!
Personally, I'm an atheist in the voting booth and a theist in the movie theatre. I separate the morality of religion with the spirituality and solace of it. There is something boring about atheism.
