Buddy of mine a few years ago saw on Kickstarter they had 1,000 of the Clay Davis talking bobble heads and got me one. Probably play it 1-2 times a day depending on what requests come into my office.
Right, Chris gives him the “you can look him in the eye” speech. Maybe Bodie earlier in the season than that
"Hey... Yo.... Let me ask you a question. Where do you guys go to get those hats with the bills over the ears like that? I go into all the city stores and the only ones that I can find are the ones with the bills in the front." "Naa... they the same. Just turn it sidways on ya head"
Fact is, we went to war and now there ain't no goin' back. I mean, shit, it's what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie.
...but we got to fight Definitely agree, Slim is awesome. Also honorable mention quote, “shit String, murder ain’t no thing. But this here, this some assassination shit.”
“That’s good. That’s like a 40 degree day. Ain’t nobody got nothing to say about a 40 degree day. 50? Bring a smile to your face. 60? Shit, niggas is damn near barbecuing on that motherfucker. Go down to 20, niggas get they bitch on. Get their blood complaining. But 40? Nobody give a fuck bout 40. Nobody remember 40, and y’all niggas is giving me way too many 40 degree days! What the fuck?” “we on that shit like a 40 degree day String”
The writing was something else on that show. Under appreciated in its time. It would win a shit ton if Emmy’s now.
Sue me but I can't get over the misstep in the dice game teaching in one episode. Talking about pass line and shit. Plesbo was wrong. Kid crapped out and got the dice back.
I love every rewatch but this most recent one really reminded me of how bad McNulty’s fake serial killer storyline was.
Should’ve scrapped that & gone with what they had planned for the next season, had the show continued....the Latino population in B’more
that part checks out imo. It’s not uncommon to have side bets going on whether the shooter will make their point.
It's not. But to have someone only bet against all night is a little strange. Sitting on the side only faded 4s and 10s.
Sho nuff “Hey McMulty, what’s the hardest part bout being a police?... ...having to convince your wife that she has to take antibiotics because you have a bladder infection”
Season 2 episode 6 is so fucking good. “if it wasn’t for Sergei here, you and your cousin would both be cadaverous motha fuckas”
The scene at the end of the episode where Greggs gets shot is so good. Just phenomenal acting by everyone. You can 100% feel and see the very real emotion by McNulty, Daniels, Carver, etc. as they're speeding around trying to find her car in the alley.
The worst part of all of that is Lester going along with it. That’s the glaring part that doesn’t really fit. The actual idea is definitely dumb enough to be a McNulty idea.
Rawls talking to McNulty at the hospital after they play the tape is great. A dimension of Rawls beyond just being a fucking prick.
Just finished season 2. I will never understand the level of hate it has. To me, this season makes the entire series.
I didn’t love it at first watch but absolutely came to appreciate it as the series went on. Definitely does help tie everything together.
