Like mentioning Utlima Online on the gaming board. It is one of my bat symbols.

It was a very random meme that spread

Here is one. The meme started around this time.

Season 2 was great.

3 was really good.

And here I am still on Season 4 for almost - almost a decade. I just never made time or had interest to make it past episode 2-3 yet.


Shame on me

Damn. S4 is my second-favorite season of the show.

I’m a big Pablo Schreiber fan and wished he got more traction after the show in bigger stuff.

He was awesome in the 12 Hours/Benghazi movie.

I think that at this point season 2 is my favorite. Ziggy doesn't bother me at all. I've known people in my life like Ziggy. Totally convincing to me, and the actor does a good job.

Real gangsters foreshadowing one of the most underrated callbacks 3 seasons later



This is why Baltimore/the game never changes and is just a cycle....and why the real gangsters don't get caught.

A Wire S2 thread might as well be the Bat Signal.

I assume it’s mostly the stark contrast with the switch to the docks the first 2 episodes. But putting aside the fact the docks storyline is awesome there is way more street stuff than people seem to realize.

Bat signal for me also.
I love The Wire as much as I love my fam and LSU.
They had me at the opening Snot Boogy scene- this America man


Agree with most S2 was just different from the 1st season but it gets better every rewatch.

To go with Nicky girlfriend boobs.
Sergei/Boris- does he has hands? a face?

McNutty sleeping with the Russian whores during the raid- Nice boos there as well.

Also the hated Cheese
