OTD in 2002 Avon visited the pit.

A top 10 “walking in slow motion” tv scene.

The beginning of the end for Wallace 😭

I know the scene subverts the usual rule of The Wire having non-diegetic music playing. I think it fits here with the fact that the king himself is coming down the Pits, a rare thing for him to do. That makes Santalgeio taking a piss all the blatant for missing him.

Wood Harris is such an underrated actor.

This is the only scene in the entire show where The Wire had background music

“The King is here!”

What really puts this scene over the top is that it was a one off style choice in the show’s run They wanted you to know Avon was the man

This was a great episode 💙

They never used montages like this after this episode, midway through a season. Was truly unique and showed the significance of Avon. Last of a dying breed

That was well shot.
