Here I am doing a rewatch of season 2 
don’t ask me why. It’s the small things that make this show great. Stringer making a claim to change the name of the product
The first scene of the episode 6. They show Omar before he testifies.
Talking to the cop about the name and how mars and ares. Same guy with a different name. Can maybe fool a cop or a fiend. Omar see string as bad for business while some people could see him as good for business. Prop Joe see him as good cause he moves into his territory. Same guy different name.

The Wire has always been filled with symbolism. That can be a thread of it's own.

This is symbolic and foreshadowing of Carcetti.
He pours the last cup of coffee for himself and leaves the pot empty (until Kima called him out on it)
