I don't think him being strung out = being addicted per se. He was messed up by seeing Brandon and grasped his role in it and started using. We can revisit later.

You don't think he's addicted? He never leaves his bed, doesn't go to work, and is begging his friends for ten dollars so he can get his next fix.

He may not be a strung out addict like Bubs or Johnny, but he's definitely addicted IMO.

About as often as you use the word "squad" when talking about your fantasy teams.

It's hard when I'm two seasons in front.

I've pretty much been in agreement with all of your assessments so far. I'll be more involved when this season comes to an end and yall wrap it up before heading to season 2.

I could knock out 2 seasons a week if I wanted to and have done before. And its still hard only watching two at a time because I love this show.

Heck I almost feel like I am from Baltimore from watching to much.. .haha


But yeah, the Brandon killing fricked Wallace up bad being he placed the call to make it happen. Dee is Wallace if he didnt carry the Barkdales name.

I was waiting for Bey to slap Dee across the head when he was telling them about Orlando

Love that and in One Arrest when Bunk is talking to Omar, his eyeball witness, and Omar is explaining the rules of the game. "A man must have a code" "oh no doubt"

That's what the Wirepedia links are for...people who are ahead or recently have watched the show and don't want to do the rewatch but can participate in discussion. Those links explain in detail exactly what happened in each episode.

He was just snorting it rather than shooting it and also why he passes out instead of getting all amped up.

Looked like he poured it in his hand and snorted it to me. But I'm not an expert on H so idk of the different effects of snorting/shooting.

The first time I watched the series, I liked Bunk in later seasons, I didn't remember how involved he is in season 1. Outside of Lester, he's my favorite cop. He kind of walks a fine line it seems to me. He's natural pooo-leece like Lester and Jimmy, he's aware of the political BS but doesn't want to irritate the powers that be ruin his career. He just does his job and hopes that makes a difference i guess.
The interview with Omar in One Arrest is great.

I've been waiting and watching the next round that Saturday or Sunday before the Monday we discuss so I don't get thrown off.

I'm doing the same thing, I'll usually watch them on Monday night. Not hard to knock out two episodes in one night... just makes getting out of bed the next morning more difficult

yeah, i know that. My issue is that since I've jumped ahead, I know I will have a tendency to get ahead of myself and use future episodes in my discussions. It's just the way that I'm wired, no pun intended.

He did.

I was talking about the difference between coke and heroin.

You don't lay over like a zombie on coke. Not that I would know.

He really comes on late into Season 1 too, easily the best cop on the show.

Also there's a fan-created animated intro, kind of fun:

I'm pretty sure I watched the first 2 seasons in one week (or so) the first time through - certainly I watched Season 1 in 2 or 3 days. It's 12 per season, but they're nearly full hour HBO episodes.
