I've mentioned this multiple times...

She first pulls up in Hamsterdam in a fancy car with a bunch of white friends, just looking to score drugs for a good time.

Next scene she appears is in Andre corner shop, she's now a prostitute/crack addict...showing her down fall since her first scene, selling p*ssy to get money for drugs.

Her next scene is right before bubs speech in season 5, she is now clean & back on the right track...

She's in 3/4 scenes at most but it tells a story it's self.

David Simon da gawd...:wow:
Who? a main character or a role player?

Might aswell add...

In season 2, the little boy who got hit by a stray bullet during the shootout between Bodie/Poot and rival dealers looks alot like the actor that plays Randy

Another 1 thats mentioned before....

Bodie died like a Pawn from the chess board...:mjcry:

He refuses to retreat (A pawn can't move backwards). Partlow and Snoop come at him diagonally, like bishops. When O-Dog steps out of the alley and shoots Bodie, he makes an L shape, like a knight.

When Bodie & Poot are given the task to kill Wallace, they take him out for lunch....Wallace is eating away, while Bodie & Poots food is hardly touched because they are sick to their stomach about the deed they going to commit.

another chess analogy for a character dying is Stringer Bell.

Much like a Queen, he moved all around that building until he was cornered by a Bishop (Mouzone) and a Knight (Omar)

Californ-i-a by way of BK
I don’t think it took me multiple watches and I believe it’s a known thing but except for the ending montages there is no music unless it’s coming from a car or radio or something.

Kept it so raw for me once I realized that
They played music when Cutty was jogging through the city during election day. They played Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" throughout the whole scene and it wasn't someone playing it. It was just background music.
