Omar didn’t seem to know Mouzone as well as everyone else. If he did he wasn’t as :ohhh: about it

Tbf, the 'everyone else' you're referring to were just Avon and Prop Joe (and maybe Stringer) - basically the kingpins, whose business it is to know the players in other towns. I cant remember well, but I dont recall any other character knowing who he was before he arrived. Even Cheese who works for Joe didnt know who Mouzone was when he was confronted by him.

And as far as Omar goes, as you implied, it wouldn't of made much of a difference even if he did know who Mouzone was.

There were several lacrosse references....all in season 1, I believe.......as David Simon was an avid player back in the day.

McNulty's boys were being dropped off at practice (or picked up)

Bunk played lacrosse in high school

When Wee Bey picked up Avon from some girl's crib, there were two kids standing at the corner while Wee Bey was checking them out (making sure they were no threat).
The boys were playing soccer...Elena left Bubbles hanging when McNutty took him along to "leave it to beaver land"
later, they were kicking a ball in the morgue lobby when McNutty took Omar to see Brandon's body

I am comfortable and I love you
On the last episode of my rewatch

I think I dislike Scott more than I have the past few seasons I did McNulty :dead:
Couldn't stand that fakkit either. Typical cac getting accolades and praise for his :duck: and hitting the :huhldup: when he's questioned on his sources

:dead:

I’m rewatching Season 5 and I noticed in episode 4 one of the dock workers is living in the homeless camp that McNulty and Freamon are investigating handing out cards. The dude who helped Ziggy steal the cars.

Yeah, Johnny 50.

Nick Sobotka is also in one scene in season 5.

Was Prez already with the police department before he married Valchek's daughter?......Or did Valchek pull some strings to get him put on?

I know that Valchek got him some great detail positions, but I don't know if it was ever implied that Prez was hired by the BPD because of Valchek's influence.

I don't think so.. First time we hear from Valchek, he's trying to pawn him off on Daniels and says something about this goofy piece of shyt married my daughter. It never seems like he likes him or even wants him around. Just tolerates and does shyt for him cause it'll trickle down to his daughter
why was little kevin scared of lex when little kevin had bodies on him aswell.
Why is another NBA player scared of Jordan? They both in the NBA....

yeah i get you but at the same time its not like anybody was taking lex serious even after he caught that body. little kevin been talked about since the 1st season i think, unless its a different little kevin cause they never actually show him but stringer does mention how a “little kevin” caught one, so he already had some sort of status to be afraid of lex who noone took serious and was seen as somewhat of a joke
