When bunk pulls his file in season 5 he calls him a baby bumping motherfukker and when he question Michael about the death he says something to the effect of I know what he did to you
It just occurred to me how dumb the bodies in the vacant storyline was. Who does that? Surely they would have been discovered if the buildings were being remolded or torn down

When Omar got the drop on Avon and almost killed him weebay showed up and shot at Omar. Omar disappeared from the screen but still had a back and forth with Avon. You could hear Omar talking as a rat ran across the street where Omar was standing. This was when omar was working with the police after the Barksdales killed omars guy

Remember when Avon pulled him aside about that and basically called him a bytch for shooting dude. He basically tells him you ain't man enough to take an ass whooping so you make it hot for everybody by shooting him. Hell that could almost be a forewarning that again as soon as D'angelo gets arrested instead of just eating the charges he snitched.

A youtube comment I just read:
The Greeks were all Greeks - including the 'the Greek' despite him saying he was 'not even Greek' in the last show. This happened because there were complaints about the show by American Greeks saying that the show was depicting the American Greeks in a bad light. HBO was threatened by a team of Greek lawyers concerning being sued for defamation over the shows portrayal of Greeks-in-America (much like Oliver Stone toned down Alexander the Great's supposed homosexuality in the film ALEXANDER after being threatened by a group of Greek lawyers). So the producers put in that line as a disclaimer at the last minute. The main writer of the Greek episodes is famed crime writer George Pelecanos who was responsible for fleshing out the characters and making the story lines realistic. If you google his reaction to the producers (Independent 2009) putting in that line at the last minute without his opinion - he states clearly it was ridiculous and undid all his previous work on The Wire. The Greek at the end saying he is not even Greek has nothing to do with the story - it is simply a rare example of political correctness infecting The Wire. The writer who wrote this final episode was David Simon and Pelacanos said he felt cheated.
Didn't know about this at all.

that's why they covered them in lye, to decompose faster.... also, it's bmore... them houses STILL there today..
all they cared was, the bodies wasn't gonna be found at all, or at least until months later, when the cases was cold, witnesses forgot, and they could barely identify them VS. having them dead on the corner the same night... plus it kept the cops off them (so they thought) for the immediate time

well this is disappointing if true because I always felt they were hinting at the "Greeks" being Israeli/Jewish

Question...
Was the Greek actually Greek? I know they literally say “and in the end, we are not even Greek” but I wasn’t sure if that was meant to be literal as if they were Turks, Albanians, Lebanese, Calabrian. Or if the quote was just referring to the fact that they had access to so many passports from different countries that they can easily change their country of origin by using a new passport. Clearly they had a multi ethnic organization with Spiro (Greek?), and IIRC the “Why always Boris?!” Guy was Ukrainian or Russian and I think I remember an Israeli guy too. I’m asking about the actual “Greek,” the top guy with no name.
It’s obviously not definitely answered and purposely left ambiguous, I’m
Just wondering what y’all thought.
S2 is so unnecessarily hated on, low key might be my favorite season bc I enjoyed the Global scope it gave.
EDIT: I just read the post literally on the same page answering this question...
