Took:
Kind if meh, not much going on episode.
The kidnapping that guy and the call to Templeton is really where the serial killer thing jumps the shark. Now it's getting too much attention and Jimmy realizes he's in over his head.
Templeton's Bs is also starting to catch up to him.
Omar robbing and killing Stanfield peeps, calling out Marlo.
The big event is Clay Davis' acquittal. That's nice that he takes cash to hand out to needy constituents, but it is still illegal
Pretty stupid in retrospect thinking they could get him in a city court.
Do love the Richard Belzer cameo in the cop bar.
Clarifications:
Omar getting popping shocked me the first time and even a little knowing it was coming this time. I didn't really remember Kenard the first time thru. seeing him fricking with Namond in S4, brings it in a little more. Especially when Omar comes limping thru and all the other kids haul arse. One of the great characters in TV history.
With more and more attention on the "serial killer", Jimmy is starting so show some regrets. The FBI profile describing Jimmy to tee was hilarious. Bunk, beyond pissed he can't get lab work done on Michael's step dad, forces Jimmy to sign off telling the lab its connected. Bunks case actually gives them something on Marlo's top guy. He obviously won't roll, but if the mayor and higher ups had let the major crimes unit continue, they would have gotten him.
Templton gets called out by a homeless vet for making up shite. The money quote is when the vet tells Gus they had chocolate milk and donuts after Templeton said they had coffee. Templeton is a shameless slimeball. He doesn't even have a soruce for his lede quote on the vigil smh. Meanwhile Fletcher gets an actually good homeless story.
Carcetti is finding out being mayor ain't so easy. Now he has to cut deals with Campbell and Clay Davis to get support for his run for Gov.

watching the series this go round i have a better understanding of why McNulty and Lester weren't thrown in prison for their shenanigans. It was also interesting seeing McNulty confront Templeton

It's amazing that literally nobody questioned anything with the SK. Like nothing at all. Jimmy had all these resources at his fingertips and nobody batted an eyelid. He was even taking on detective after detective and allowing them to work their caseloads, all while using SK-angled resources. And all it took was him lying on daily reports?
Seems like a pretty shitty check-and-balance system in place.

And it seems to go relatively unnoticed. Well, not by his boss (Gus) but nobody is biting on his piece, whereas Scott's piece is what people are talking about. the homeless piece isn't "sexy" or flashy enough to sell.
Sad.

And like I said, it's all based on what he can get out of it or how he can benefit down the road from it. We saw this originally with Valchek in S2 (and a little in S1 maybe??). And it continued throughout the show. All about "you scratch my back; I'll scratch yours." ALL of it. From Valchek to Clay Davis to McNulty to Bunk to Carver to Levy to Stringer to Prop Joe to Herc to Kima to everybody, on all sides of the law.
