Stringer flirts with Donette the first time they see each other, in either the first or second episode of the show.
Cheese’s last name was originally Flagstaff. Then the show changed it to Wagstaff, and David Simon said he’s Randy’s father. Prop Joe also had another nephew working for him. Lester says the nephew is “on his mama’s side” and the other cops start laughing.
Michael can tell early on about how Randy and Namond are. Randy gets a light punishment for something at school and Michael asks him something like “did the principal have you do something, or say something, to get a lighter punishment?”.
Michael gets annoyed throughout the season that Namond is too much talk and no action.
In the first scene, Michael’s already shutting him down because of his big mouth.
And then later on, Namond starts recreating the scene of the girl getting her face sliced up, pretending to slice Dukie, and Dukie gets annoyed. Namond goes “I’m just saying, it was fukked up” and Michael tells him “that’s all you ever do, just say things”.
