This was one of the saddest deaths of the wire. Killed by his own friends in his own home. What makes this death unimaginably heart wrenching is how Wallace was the primary caregiver and role model for all the kids in the house. To face such an unceremonious and pointless death after sacrificing for the betterment of those young kids' future really sucks. He was the only hope for those babies. Bodie acts all hard and down but can’t do it so he starts insulting Wallace. As if he’s trying to convince himself that he hates Wallace in order to go through with it, and in the end he can’t. He shot Wallace and froze. Poot returns his gun and then he stormed out, due to not being able to cope with the scene, leaving Poot. Poot takes his time going into the building, knowing every extra step he takes is another extra second in Wallace's life. Almost as if it won’t happen if he doesnt go up the stairs. And then after, when he enters the room, he just want it over as fast as possible, insisting Bodie does it already. He treated it like hard work and finished off Wallace for Bodie in order to not just stop Wallace's pain, but his own, and even Bodie's. Then he's left there alone, he doesnt rush out like Bodie, cause to him, it's all over now. The way i see it, Bodie was telling Wallace to stand up and be a man so he could see him as being part of the game and not his friend. Makes it easier to kill him based on that but Wallace being scared and pulling on friendship made it more difficult.🎬🍿

Crime shows have taught me to never say anything during a police interrogation, no matter what they tell you. The bigger the lie, the more they believe", perfect intro for the theme of season 5 with McNulty and Scott making up shit out of thin air. The fact they used a copier is one thing but let's not overlook the fact that they used DUCT TAPE on his hand, that just signals how absolutely confident the detectives were with this trick and we can only imagine how utterly confused and terrified DeShaun must've been. The genious of this scene is that it tells you the reason why they still use polygraphs during interragations, despite the fact the results are inadmissible to a court of law. It's not about evidence, it's about the interragation - as long the suspect believes it's real they will bend to self-recognized guilt. The kid in the gray hoodie is one of the kids who beat up Randy outside the school in the fourth season. This has to be one of the funniest but saddest scenes ever. Dude didnt know what a copier machine was lol. Thats brutal.🎬🍿

Snoop sealed her fate when she told him not to bring his gun. That was suspect and ultimately got her killed. I respect Snoop. When Michael pulled the gun at her she wasnt scared at all, she was actually impressed. She knew her time was up and accepted her fate. You could tell Chris was the brains between him and snoop. She dug her own grave. I think the thing that irked Snoop the most is that Michael was regularly able to see through Marlo and his crew's bulls**t. He wasn't blindly loyal. Which makes him a better boss than a soldier. I love how she said "You never was one of us, and you never could be" Mike didn't wanna be like any of them, he was disgusted by them.🎬🍿

Fun fact: when Omar asked the guy what he's in for and the guy says he's here on a 22-55, the guy was actually in prison for real at the time and he was actually waiting on a 22-55 hearing and he agreed to do the show.. Another fun fact is that guys name is Donnie Andrews and he is the actual man that the Omar Little character was based on.. Just a couple more reasons why the wire is best show of all time. I love how Omar was like, "Marlo? naw I never heard of him." No matter how hard Marlo tried, he could never get his name to ring bells like Omar or Avon. I love how this reminds one that Omar is only human. You can clearly see how terrified he was at the prospect of being in there alone. Another point that shows how nobody knows who Marlo is despite him trying his best to be known on the west side. Omar not only knew who Avon is, but knew who every single one of his soldiers is and how they work. Marlo tried so hard to be known but in the end all the people who actually knew who he was, ended up in the vacants.🎬🍿

D was a body Avon wasnt ready to take even tho he was a liability, so "I killed your nephew" was more like i killed a nigga that you couldnt kill even tho you knew you had to. Stringer's ego was so wild he immediately focused on "not hard enough" and immediately dismissed the idea that he's not smart enough for the real businessmen. The irony of Stringer acting like a smart businessman, while doing nothing but making the wrong decisions is so poetic. Ironically, Avon said Stringer wasn't hard enough or smart enough but Stringer was so offended only by the hard enough remark he proved Avon right in making a dumb move that cost him. Avon was full of heart. He had buckshot in his arm and he still attacked stringer with everything he had, making no difference. String was outta pocket He let his emotions get the better of him.. he should have kept that secret to the grave. And back Avon in the war. Regardless of him telling Avon or not he was on borrowed time for setting up muzone. Wonder how this scene would have turned out if Avon wasn't wounded. Biggest advantage that Marlo had in this war was there was no turmoil in his crew. This battle that Avon and Stringer was fighting amongst themselves is just what Marlo needed. You can expect some indifference in ranks when you been doing it as long as the Barksdale crew has.🎬🍿

To see a man ask his former adversary for permission to raise his child so that he can give him a better life is so profound and beautiful. I love how Bey's body language when Colvin says he wasn't made for the corners. Wee-Bey breaks eye contact and pulls back. It cuts him deep, since he knows its true. To hear another in the game see it too, is hard, but Bey accepts it. If only more kids in these circumstances were given this opportunity. Wee Beys humanity shines through in this scene. Wee bey KNEW his son could end up like D'angelo, who was never cut out for the corners. I love this scene, because Colvin is speaking to "Mr. Brice" as a man, as an equal, even though opposite sides of the law. Colvin came with respect and love, and Wee-Bey saw that shit. I also loved when his bitch wife was getting snippy about it, and Wee-Bey put her in check. "Man come up in here saying my son can be any damn thing he pleases." "Yea anything but a soldier". "Well look at me up in here, why the fuck would anybody want to do this if they can be something else." That, to me, was very touching and emotional because Bey being locked up for life, would obviously enjoy having a son to visit, etc, but he knew it was in his SON'S best interest to go with Colvin and have a better life.🎬🍿

Slims integrity saved him. Omar sensed Slim's integrity and honoring of 'the code'. He could hear it in Slim's voice. Slim was the wisest street figure in the game. He wasn't hot-headed like Avon, he wasn't a calculated shark like Stringer, Marlo, or Prop Joe, he wasn't emotional like Omar, Bodie, or D'Angelo nor was he a blood-thirsty killer like Chris Partlow or Wee-Bey. He knew when to be fierce and when to stay out of dodge. Not too high, not too low. He was what Bodie and D'Angelo described in Season 1 as one of them "Smart ass Pawns" who makes it to the other side of the Chessboard.🎬🍿

"Let me help you find your tongue." Nobody else talked to Marlo that way. It's impressive how Avon accomplished 3 things in one stroke by meeting with Marlo. Demonstrate that even behind bars he's still a major player who Marlo has no choice but to respect and do business with. Set Marlo up with the Greeks, thereby sealing Prop Joe's fate, and finally getting revenge on Joe for his role in breaking the Barksdale organization. Get paid $100k for essentially doing nothing, like a true businessman. The fact that Avon didn't repeat himself was his biggest flex of power.. "So what's been going on with you otherwise " as if he really gaf.😂🎬🍿

That guy sold a high powered nail gun to a serial killer and managed to get a tip. "Man said if you wanna shoot nails, this here's the Cadillac. He mean Lexus, but he ain't know it.” I love the way Snoop is so in tune with what the worker is saying that she is actually able to go back to Chris and explain it damn near verbatim. The funniest part is that the dude understands everything snoop was saying. In a different timeline, the hardware guy's talk on nail guns could've inspired Snoop to quit crime and pursue a lifelong passion for carpentry. I like how the salesman spoke with respect and gave education without being condescending nor dismissive at all. He did his job like a professional.🎬🍿

Chris and Snoop pull up on Bodie over him selling Marlo’s package. Bodie refuses to back down, joking that Little Kevin should’ve “shot y’all both in the head twice.” But the joke comes back to haunt him. "You ain't putting me in one of them empty ass houses, neither" Bodie was a real one. When Bodie and Poot last look at each other, it's utterly heartbreaking. "Bodie, come on man.” All bodie's homies ran except poot when the first shot rang out. You see who your real friends is when shit start cracking.🎬🍿

I love the way Slim Charles looks at Cheese after Marlo picks him to be in charge. He basically connected all the dots at that moment. The irony about this is that as soon as Marlo is in jail, the co-op comes right back. And instead of having one guy in charge of the connect, they show Vondas meeting with three people from the co-op in the last episode because it's best not to have one guy monopolize it. The co-op is the only example of real lasting institutional change on The Wire and I believe a lot of people overlook that because the message that "the game is the game" gets drilled into you over the whole show. But change can happen.🎬🍿

Marlo's hell was living Stringer Bell's dream. I noticed that everyone respects Slim Charles. The real reason he's out of that game is, Snoop's dead and Chris is doing a life bid. Without them two, he doesn't have a strong crew anymore. The game will always be the same, but with different people. You can see the parallels between Marlo and Cutty here.. Avon asked what Cutty thought he could do other than being a gangster, and Cutty went out and did good. When Marlo is asked here, he later went back onto the streets and couldn't not be a gangster. 🎬🍿

Ironic to hear Stringer saying this considering he was in fact, enrolled in college and looking to ultimately legitimize his way out of the drug trade. The fact is most drug dealers know that death and jail are the only end games to what they do. Stringer thought he was smarter than the rest and could actually make his story end differently. Notice how he refers the other guys being stuck in the game as if the same rules don't apply to him. Stringer thinking he was above the game is what caused him to make some of the moves he made and break the rules, which led to his demise. Stringer never had any respect for a street level drug dealer, I don't think Stringer ever really liked “the game”for me that was the biggest difference between him and Avon, Avon would have respected even the lowest of people under his command as long as they were doing their job.🎬🍿w

When Omar and bodie got killed it was the end to me. Did anybody notice how Omar's kill list had the exact location of everyone? If he didn't die who's to say he could've took them all out by himself. Omar was a different type of hunter. I just noticed Chris' face for the first time, It's a mixture of relief, unbelief and sadness. I think Omar was a worthy opponent for him. To kill Omar would've meant his name would ring even louder because of who Omar was. To be killed by him meant he would've died with street cred. But to have him killed by a kid meant that this worthy opponent went out without even a fight and he could maybe go out that same way.🎬🍿

The look on Namonds face when wee- bey is talking. It's like he knows he can never be his dad. He can fake it all he wants. But deep down he knows they not cut from the same cloth. I'm just glad that Wee Bey did for Namond what Avon didn't do for D'Angelo. I respect Wee Bey for letting his son go the right path. Wee-bey was actually a pretty cool father, who was looking out for what was best for his son. He was initially in denial about Namond, not being the great street soldier that he was, but you could tell he really loved and believed in his son. Wee-bey never reformed like Cutty, but he did the right thing for his son. He ended up being the 'key' to Namond getting off the streets and surviving, by giving him over to Colvin, to raise him. DeLonda was the WORST mother ever. She did not care anything about Namond. He was a trophy to her “Wee-Bey's son” rather than her own child needing love and protection. She thought material things, new clothes and all that was what he needed. She could care less about his education, about him doing anything more with his life than becoming the next Wee-Bey. Wee bey saw right through his sons weak front, but didnt bother to call him on it. just tried to convey to namond that he ain’t built for the game.🎬🍿

Life in prison and having to deal with De'Londa for the rest of your life. Isn't that cruel and unusual punishment. Man, wee bey was such a well written character. The fact he is a soldier willing to give up his son to an ex-cop, and the writers were able to make it seem perfectly organic and not out of character is a testament to this show. Bey was proud to hear all that good stuff about his son. His son could go to college and become a lawyer, a teacher, or a congressman. And break the cycle in their family line. One of the best lines in the series. "Well look at me up in here…...who the f*ck would wanna be that if they could be anything else Delonda??" Wee-Bay was a real dude, he lived hard but he knew his son deserved better. One of these two cannot be trusted to make the best decision for their son.🎬🍿

Damn, Slim was a stone killer but you can't help but like the guy because he lived by a code. Slim was one of the smartest characters on the show. He knew when to talk, and when not to. And when to act. Cheese had $900k because he stole all of Prop Joe's money after Marlo killed him. Slim Charles figured that out and that pissed him off even more. Cheese talked too much, basically said he only loyal to who feeding him at the time and will turn his back on anyone at any moment. then had the nerve to speak on his dead uncle with his dead uncle's right hand man standing next to him. he did it to himself. Honestly the most satisfying kill in the wire.🎬🍿

Little Kevin gets out of jail after being questioned about a murder, and Bodie tells him to go straight to Marlo’s people before they come looking for him. Kevin does exactly that but when Chris and Snoop question him about Lex’s murder, he lies and insists he told Randy nothing. Chris and Snoop immediately know he’s lying. They take Kevin away, and later Slim Charles tells Bodie the truth: Little Kevin has been killed and dumped in a vacant. Kevin thought lying would protect him, but that one lie ultimately sealed his fate.🎬🍿

My favorite part about this scene is that Avon probably waited to see how Slim Charles would respond to String's demand. It's great the way Avon walks over to stand beside Slim, taking his side, and Stringer is left alone on the other side of the table, in his suit and tie, being scolded. Stringer tried to fly too close to the sun and got burned. Avon knew it was gonna happen but he loved string so much he let him play that game. Avon knew his place, stringer didn't. In a room full of gangsters, Stringer always seemed like a businessman, but in a room full of businessmen, he always came off a gangster.🎬🍿

The best part about this scene is that the plan for the arrest is based on information they got from Omar. They crack him with the bottle because Omar warns them that Bird will not think twice about throwing down with the cops. They know where to find him because Omar tells them that Bird gets high and where the best dope is. And they bring Bubbles to use the hat trick to ID Bird because Omar tells them that Bubbles knows Bird. Bird had it so bad gets smacked with a 40, gets whooped in interrogation, and then gets life on Omar lying on the stand.🎬🍿
