I'm on S4E2. SPOILERS















































RIP Stringer Bell. Didn't see that coming at all.

Omar is the man. Was his character based off of a real guy? Crazy to see the most feared man in the hood being into boys.

I thought you could see it coming when it started to become apparent he was in over his head. Plus, I knew he'd always have to atone for having D'Angelo killed.

I thought he was about to become a monster, honestly. I figured he was on the verge of killing Avon and running the city. Plus with the way McNulty was after him more than everyone else, I thought he would be around longer.

Omar is not the man. I thought this at first too. Snoop is the fricking (wo)man

I do like Snoop. It's hard for me to buy Chris as a killer right now. Dude seems like one of those backpack rappers.

Not for me. Chris was cold blooded. Stringer tried to hard to be a businessman and wasn't quite ruthless enough.

The absolute BEST scenes in the series deal with Robert's Rules of Order and Stringer's meetings.

I think he was with Omar in Season 5, when Omar returned after they killed Butchie. I remember him staking out with Omar, and then being killed in the apartment during the shoot out.

Shiiiiiiid

Chris is probably the most cold-blooded character on the show.

Finished the series.

Easily, easily the best series of television I've seen. I had low expectations for season 5 from some stuff I read here but I thought it was good. Maybe not the best season but still excellent.

I think I'll watch it again in a month or two. Just amazing.

His character was awesome. Probably the most polarizing of the series.
