Things you didn't notice on The Wire until multiple watches

[Renegade47]

Nah, Weebey def mentioned a dude named "Black"

marlo was also mentioned before by the way he killed someone with the 2 to the chest one in the mouth execution think it was the season prior. you dont see him do it until he kills that girl stringer sent to him.

nah

"who got Blacktops?"

is what he said to the 2 other guys.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

When Kima got shot why the fukk was Bubbles a suspect because he was calling her cell?

That mixed cop gave bubbles a tune up for no reason at all

 

[ig88]

Slim and Weebay were the top henchman/goons. Avon trusted these guys/respected them fully.

I think Avon let Slim know that Stringer was on some other shyt....so he knew not to give the update loud enough for Stringer to hear it.

Avon openly disrespects Stringer in front of Slim later (when String tries to order the hit on Clay) which shows you that at that point Slim was basically his number 2.....not String.

Wait blind butch was avons father? Dangelos uncle?

This is what you meant to quote
======
Butch stanford....

D'angelo mentioned his grandfather in conversation with bunk and McNulty in season one

When butchie is talking to omar about Avon he mentioned how evil he was

Any other mentions? Any way to tell how high he rose? Because it seems even though he had a name Avon was out on the corners very young and had to earn his spot and it was given

========

and no.. Butchie and Butch Stanford are two different characters.
Butchie says to Omar that "Stanford was evil and that his family(the barksdales) ain't no better"

 

[DaRealness]

First robbery Omar does in first episode...he shoots drug dealer in the right kneecap.

First robbery Michael does...he shoots vinson in kneecap.

The writing of this show man.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

In season one

D Angelo on Wallace to Avon/String

“Let the boy be.”

In Season three

After Cutty left from talking about what had happen when they tried to kill Fruit, Avon says to Slim

“He a man today.”

 

[Clive42]

I think Prez is the only officer in the show to fire his gun.

Once when they were getting the tvs thrown at them from the project towers in S1, and the other mistakenly at another black officer in S3.

Classic thread

 

[FREDDY RUGER]

everybody who died on this show were cornered. i dont think a single significant death happened in the open. i know shorty with omar got blasted in the street but she was still cornered in a way.

the major deaths they were outplayed & cornered. bodie was literally on his corner being cornered by snoop and chris.

omar was in a convenient store cornered with no way out.

stringer was cornered by omar and mouzone

prop joe was cornered in his own crib with no escape

snoop was cornered in the alley in the whip

even kimas near death she was boxed in.

i gotta rewatch season 2 but in a way frank sabotka was cornered.

deangelo cornering is obvious.

wallace upstairs in his crib with bodie and poot aiming at em

idk chess rules exactly but i think a tactic is to corner pieces to get check mates right?

You reaching with this 1 because with some of those deaths your changing what cornered means.

"MY grandfather was Butch Stamford. You know who he was in this town? We was raised in this shyt. My cousins...my uncles...I want what Wallace wanted. I want to start over...I dont care where. Anywhere. I just want to live like regular folk. You give me that? I give you them"

D’angelo was so full of shyt in hindsight. He had every opportunity to leave Baltimore. You not gonna tell me this nikka didn’t have $10,000 to $20,000, which is nothing based on how he was living, he could easily been in Arizona time zones away from anybody he knew and started over. He wanted that shyt. Then when it got hot for him, he wanted out. Typical clown shyt right there.

[The Coochie Assassin]

I didn't know the actor who played Ziggy was actually a Baltimore native.

I agree to some extent. But did you see how uncomfortable he was outside of the circle he was in? When he and his girl went out to dinner IN BALTIMORE but in a downtown restaurant, he was anxious and insecure.

When he was complaining about feeling boxed in the game to the stripper, she pulled his card....she said "quit, do something else" He changed the subject real quick.
It was all he knew, all he felt he could do....sell drugs in Baltimore.

I think that's why he liked Wallace,was trying to encourage him to go back to school and do something else with his life.
