What was your reaction when Stringer Bell...

[Lazy Migrant]

The only other scene that I can think of that hit me that emotionally was that scene in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You know the one.

Stringer was my favorite character in the Wire and maybe my favorite TV character of all time. I don't think I've ever connected to a TV character like I did Stringer Bell. He and I even share the same first name and last initial.

Even though he was a grimy drug dealer at the end of the day, he had vision which he displayed in trying to run their gang like a corporation, attempting to set up the coop and trying to diversify in real estate construction. He was evolving in front of our eyes, and then just like that, he got murked by the two deadliest killers on the show.

I already knew ahead of time that he was gonna die and it still shocked me.

That's when you know a show is good.

Yea, I knew he was gonna killed as well but I expected it to happen at the end of season 4 at the earliest, so it caught me off guard, its crazy, Bell was this rich millionaire real estate dude and got caught slippin by some regular hood nikkas in a nice part of Baltimore

 

[Super Cheech]

GOAT TV show

"What the fukk are they gonna do next season?"

*Next season ends up arguably being the best season*

Yeah, lol, not exactly. He wasn't really a real estate dude. And he definitely didn't get brought down by anyone regular.

I watched the show while it was in its original run and I just remember thinking it was gonna fall off without Stringer. And then Season 4 happened...

He snitched on Avon for no good reason at all

 

[AMcV'88]

the unraveling of his character, seeing him go from the collected smartest guy in the room to an emotional wreck getting pulled in many directions you knew something was coming for him so it wasn't that surprising but i didn't want him to die.

but when

Spoiler: death spoiler

BODIE

got murked

that was my nikka mane.

I felt a bit sad and stunned, Stringer was by no means a good person. But i understood the decisions he made.

When i think of Stringer i think of wasted talent and a victim of circumstances. Imagine what he could've been had he not grown up in hood, instead in a nice stable situation. I would love for Simon to do a prequel thing, Stringer's back story would interest me the most.

Between Stringer talkin to D about loyalty then fukkin his baby moms 2 hrs later.. then settin D up in the library ..then "consoling" his fam afterward.. then sendin Avon on a goose chase when he the one that ordered the hit..

I was When he started smashin D'angelo baby mother this dirty b*stard has to die now.

The way he accepted his fate was well done too just to Get on wit it mother.........

 

[FreedMind]

Wallace death still had me the most

Wallace death doesn't have as much of an impact on me as it used to. He got caught up in the dope game, was given an out by D, ends up on drugs and snitching.

Its tragic cause Wallace was a good kid and was basically trapped by all his pressures, but he still went to the feds. If I remember correctly, HE sought out the feds too, and agreed to snitch. Even came back to the pit after he was with his grams.

I've been rewatching the series recently, and i've noticed I've been more partial to Barksdale and his crew through this watching. So he had to get got.

Now some people was like :thefukk: so what he fukked Donette?! D was locked up for life, couldn't do nothin about it and didn't care anyway so that's the way the game goes.. I was trippin off how they zoomed in on the picture on the end table like it was sayin *Message* lol
