  Yeah, it honestly makes me sad to see people I otherwise like watching those lame shows. The worst is that a guy I know watches them WITH his wife.

  Liking The Wire so far. About 3.5 episodes in. Does it stay this pace, or does it get bad ass?

  It gets badass. A lot of people don't like season 2 at the docks. I really liked it. Season 3 gets awesome when you meet Marlo.

  Didn't care for Marlo, didn't think the character was believable.
  
  Show is at its best with Stringer Bell - the greatest villain in tv history.

  Marlo was my favorite badguy on the show. Snoop a close second. Stringer went soft when he got all educated.
  
  You want it to be one way, but it's the other way.

  You mean the character who is based off a real life person who actually has the name Stanfield and was created by the guy who worked for the Baltimore Sun during his time as a ruthless drug lord isn't believable??? Something isn't adding up lol.

  Did you know the actress that played Snoop was a real-life banger who served time for murder?

  I always felt like the character was some 18-19 yr old kid (although the actor was actually @30) which I thought was too young for the power he allegedly had. Real life dude was 25 at the peak.
  
  Speaking of which, the actor was victimized by a drive-by.

  I never felt Marlo was that young. Guys like Bode I felt were that young. Marlo always seemed older and way more experienced.

  It does start out a bit slow, but gets very bad ass. Although not quite in a way most other shows do which is what makes it the greatest show ever. I'm about to re watch the series for the 6th time, I highly recommend watching it again when you finish.

  Almost through season 2 of the Wire. I liked season 1 better.

  1, 3, 4, 5 are all more "alike" compared to 2.

  I just got to the episode in House of Cards where the Indian dude tells Frank, "Not my Vice President," and lol'd because Belly.

  oh yeah. The first season is ok. The 2nd - 4th seasons are amazing. The 5th season is ok.
• thavoice

  I think it is still on but I caught a few eps of World Wars on History this weekend.
  
  Excellent series.
