Cornered generally means backed into a corner. No room to manuver. Some of the deaths you mentioned you had to contort the meaning of cornered to meet those circumstances. You reached no big deal.


The chess reference was on point tho but I think it was mentioned way earlier n thread anyways

Just for 1 instance. Snoop. Mike got the drop on her true. But realistically there was a lot of ways for her to manuver out of that situation. U saying she was cornered to fit what ever little hidden egg u think u see is Reaching. Dont even mean u wrong cuz I'm not the writer. But its definitely a stretch. Facts

Poot and Daniels had the worst hairlines

I found a clip of Daniels leaving the barber's chair after he looked in the mirror

Above the fray.

The scene from the spoiler. When Avon gets sent up for good, Marlo is there in court for the sentencing. Avon has never seen him before, so he glances at him...confirms that it's him...and I guess symbolically passes the crown to him. Then Marlo disappears. It was during the finale collage and I caught iT the second time.

I can't remember if this has been mentioned yet:

- Frank Sabotka offered to give up the Greeks to the police and the FBI, but said he won't give up any Union guys. He got found out and ended up being killed right before doing so.
- Bodie offered to give up the Stanfields but said he wasn't giving up any Barksdales. He got found out and ended up being killed.

Yea it was implied Bug’s pops molested Michael. Chris Partlow realized Michael’s weakness was the hatred he had for his stepdad (most likely because Chris was molested as a child himself) and used it as a tool to recruit Michael.

Also explains why Chris murdered him so brutally.

Rewatching Season 4 for the first time in like 10 years... so much shyt i missed

I didn't realize how much shyt didnt happen till the end of the season
- Randy getting the snitch tag
- Michael becoming a savage
- Namond turning clean

In the 1st episode when Weebay takes D'angelo out of the car to explain the rules of no talking in the car.. they walk under a restaraunt with Burgers laveled above Weebay symbolizing Beef (he could handle beef, he starts beef etc), and Chicken is labeled above D'angelo, this was a purposeful shot as explained by Dave Simon on the DVD commentary

Dee even sporting a weak posture while Weebay is standing straight and imposing... Damn :wow:
AYYYYOOOOOO!!!!! :banderas:
