Tough.

Hard tp pick one -of the major players I have to say Bunk, then Omar, then Prezbo.

Who was your favorite "minor" character?

I liked Cutty a lot. And D'Agostino.

DeAngelo was a great character that gets forgotten when I talk to people. The actor that played him did a great job.

Still gives me chills.

early Prezbo was fricking great

I don't know why, but I always hated Marlo. I liked the old crew way better than the new crew. What was the name of the w*gger drug dealer from season 2?

"White" Mike McArdle or the kid who worked the street for Nicky (name was Frog, I think)?

Marlo was the man. Calm, cool, and collected. And when he takes that corner back at the end just validated it all. But the my name scene is one of the best in the series.

Marlo didn't have much dialogue, so there wasn't much to gleam from his character other than that he was basically Avon with less lines and more bodies. I didn't like his character either, it came off too flat to me. Stringer, DeAngelo Barksdale, you got fairly rounded characters that you couldn't always predict.

Bubbles was my favorite character after Omar.

I also thought Leo Fitzpatrick (Telly from KIDS) did a great job of playing the crack head.

I absolutely cry laughing every time I watch the part (season 3) when he's released from the Paddywagon and into Hamsterdam for the first time. He's looking around like, "What the frick? What's the catch?"

And frick Barksdale. Stringer>Barksdale.

Slim knew how the game was played. Better than Avon and Stringer.

Stinger was the best of the upper level drug dealers, IMO. He had a lot of aspects that made you connect with him, but he was still a drug dealer.

The quote from McNulty whenever they raided his apartment at the end of season 3 was money.
