I just finished the last season of The Wire ***SPOILERS***

***MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES IN HERE***










First of all I want to say this show was outstanding, Omar (RIP ) is one of my favorite TV/Movie characters ever. That being said, I have a few questions/concerns about the last season. I'm assuming this was all talked about when it was running but I obviously was not in the conversation.

1. WTF happened to Avon Barksdale, He's not in season 4 at all, and he is in I think just the one episode of Season 5. But didn't McNulty make the comment that he was only going back in to serve his full 7? So even though he was "helping" Marlo, I'm assuming he'd be right back in the game when he gets out, with Slim Charles as his second?

2. WTF happened to Cutty, he's not in season 5 at all, his story was really cool and then we just stopped hearing about him completely, I kind of assumed one of his kids was going to kill him one day, but now I guess I'll assume he kept running his gym and slaying the women.

3. I know that city was corrupt as shite, but I don't see how at least McNulty, if not Freeman doesn't serve time in prison. I mean McNulty was fricking with crime scenes, and he kidnapped a guy. To many people knew about that for somebody not to speak up, shite that shady reporter knew because McNulty told him.

4. I'm so glad Cheese died, that dude sucked dick, Slim Charles is awesome

5. I'm assuming Michael is becoming the new Omar, I think you could see that coming even before he robbed Marlos rim guy, he was always questioning stuff and obviously had a little more of a code than Chris and Snoop. It would have been cool to see him grow up and what he becomes. Also I could see Namond becoming some kind of politician, and him knowing Michael it would have been a cool dynamic, even if that would be 10-15 years down the road.

6. I guess the whole point of The Wire is to show you that basically the cops are fighting a battle they can't win; they bring one guy down and 5 more are ready to step up. These guys don't care about prison, some don't even care whether they live or die. Marlo is interesting, he truly just wants people to know who he is, I think it's pretty obvious he isn't going to be able to stay out the game. It would have been really cool to see him and Avon finish their war once he got out, I'm not sure who the co-op would go with, they don't like Marlo but he's got all the power.

Overall I would say this series is phenomenal; I wish we could have gotten another few seasons so it could have been wrapped up a little better. I wasn't crazy about the final seasons story (besides Omars). McNulty and Freamon just went insane in trying to catch Marlo, I really ended the show with no respect at all for McNulty, he constantly fricks over everyone who tries to help him, and he doesn't seem to care. The Journalists were my least favorite out of all the single season characters (the kids, the dock workers) I just didn't think that story was super interesting. I will say it showed well how every aspect of that city was corrupt, and it was hard for honest people everywhere working for or with the city.

My favorite (important) character: Omar no question, that dude was fricking cool

Least favorite (important) character: Probably McNulty, obviously he's a better person than all the drug dealers and mass murderers, but he is just annoying and an a-hole (I know thats what he's supposed to be, I guess it worked)
