What do you think of this scene here with Avon & Stringer? It’s not too long after the prisoners get killed with the hot shots. D’Angelo doesn’t want anything to do with Avon and won’t try to get his sentenced reduced. Stringer makes the big decision in the next episode.
By the way he was talking at the end of that conversation, I sort of felt like Avon was close to making that decision himself. Like he was justifying it in his mind and wanted reassurance from Stringer.

I felt that way too.

Stringer may have gotten emboldened by that discussion too.
He still went around Avon to order the hit, but maybe he felt from that conversation “well if Avon eventually finds out, he’ll understand”.
And Avon did accept it, as much as he hated it.
Another thing that I find interesting is Bodie and Stringer's relationship. It felt like Bodie was somewhat of a protege. Also funny how Bodie and Avon had no parts speaking to each other.
Actually they did for a brief moment in season 3... right after Avon got out. McNulty, Kima, and Syndor (I believe) were surveilling Bodie and his crew trying to figure out a way to get a tap on his phone. McNulty was like: "I know a way. I go over it tomorrow. Let's hit the bar....I'm buying."
Right after they leave, Avon pulls up in the SUV and daps up Bodie.
However, if they didn't seem to have that close of a bond it's due to extended chain of command.
On the flipside, Michael was arm's length from Marlo from the jump. Had he been in the Barksdale he likely would not have been that close to Avon either.
Yeah I know but they never had scenes where they spoke to each other where we heard the dialogue. Not a big deal just found it interesting considering how many scenes he had with Stringer. Definitely was intentional on the writers part. Just not sure why.Actually they did for a brief moment in season 3... right after Avon got out.

Avon himself lost some of his discipline and breaks his own rules right away when he got out. He had Slim kick a couple of guys out of his homecoming party for snorting coke and complains about the lack of discipline, but he talks business in the car.
Right away, he’s complaining about how they don’t have enough corners.
Then later, he and Slim are talking in the cars about dropping bodies and taking over Marlo’s corners

Agree.
Bodie was being groomed by String the entire time. And he passed every test.
There's a sequence where he's sent out of town on an errand. Things go left, he knows he might get hit....and he goes right back, mans up and tells the truth about what happened and why everything doesn't add up.
Only to find out that String had him tailed and was testing whether he would stand tall and accept whatever the penalty was.
Being groomed by an organization and learning accountability ends up biting Bodie in the ass. When he's under Marlo, he still operated the same way and ended up giving Little Kev bad advice.

Sherrod, or the actor who played Sherrod, was there for one of the revenge killings after Cheese’s dog fight

Nah he didn't give Kevin bad advice. Kevin didn't tell him he was the one who set up Lex and also didn't tell him that he got Randy involved in it
I'm pretty sure if Bodie knew everything about that situation he would've told Kevin something different

Yep. Little Kevin fukked up by not following simple instructions, bringing a random kid into it, and telling the kid what happened to Lex.
He also gives like the most unconvincing denial ever when Marlo asks him if he told Randy.
Bodie didn’t know about all that extra info.
