** The HBO Series "The Wire" Question & Answer Thread **

[RunawaySlave]

this is a genuine instance of the topic being subject to the "interpretation" of the viewer because there is no other dialogue.

michael had to say goodbye to his brother by blood, bug, and now was having to part ways with the last remnant of his childhood, duquan.

duquan desperately went through every far fetched scenario to stay together, but michael knew this was the end and goodbye.

I thought he hesitated and looked download at the disappointment of knowing that Dukie has become a drug addict. And that Dukie was doing what crackheads do; Trying to get old friends talking so they can hit them up for cash....In my mind, I think Michael now knows for 100% certain that his only friend left in the game is now a mark and he no longer wants any part of dealing with him because he knows marks will either get him arrested or get him killed. Michael was thinking a few steps ahead while the book smart Dukie was now thinking a few steps behind


or he could have just forgotten. After all he is grown now

 

[cranrab]

I thought he hesitated and looked download at the disappointment of knowing that Dukie has become a drug addict.

that's fair too.

i think duquan mentions that particular memory to michael because duquan is trying to evoke the same sympathy from michael that he received that day: after the water balloon fiasco, michael intimidated namond into giving duquan a dollar for the ice cream truck.

by this time, however, michael had become a hardened individual, and realized he could no longer care for or be the protector of his friend.

Realistically speaking I would lean this way, I mean, how could someone forget what had happend just a summer ago, especially with what happend with the balloons!

Thats funny I took the long pause to mean that Michael was really trying to remember and couldn't because `he'd changed so much..look at what he did in the time since:

Had his stepfather killed
participated in several killings himself
got his own apartment
became sexually active
separated from the only true family he ever knew (bug and dukie)
trying to survive being killed by his own crew

hell after all that I don't remember that incident either and I was just watching..

As far as the scene went it did seem like he truly couldn't remember but there is something to be said in the fact that he didn't make eye contact again after that.

Michael had to look out for himself, Dukie would just be a liability on the street.

Re: "The Wire"

right? it's amazing how people always wanna see a "number 2".

marlo didn't have a number 2. it was him and chris was muscle.

prop joe didn't have a number 2. it was him and then everyone under him.

but avon barksdale had to have a "number 2" because what else were you gonna call his boy?

Avon didn't "need" a number 2, Marlo and Avon were alike but that's how the Barksdale organization was depicted.

As I pointed out earlier, in season 1 whatever Avon's people did was first run thru Stringer who then passed it on to Avon.

The ONLY time we saw this circumvented was when D'Angelo stood up for Wallace, even though Stringer was questioning him he only spoke to Avon, we don't know if anybody else could have gotten away with this this since "D" was his cousin.

Even with the ill-fated Greggs shooting Avon did know about the set-up, he even points out that Bey and Little Man should have changed it up since there was a "bitch in the car", Stringer took the blame for the money grab.

However I don't believe that Avon having Stringer as a #2 and Avon being the top dealer on the show and also being "untouchable" in terms of the police was any coincidence.

This is where the show began.

BTW, in my travels on the net I also found an interview where Simon points out that Omar was never to be killed off in season 1, the actor was told he would be needed for 7 episodes which he took to mean that they wouldn't need him after that and he said so in an interview.

Simon and the producers never corrected this statement because @ the time they didn't know if the show was going to be renewed for a second season.

Even during the 5th and final season there were arguments as to whether his character should be killed, Simon wanted to but others disagreed.

The script was always in flux, even when D'Angelo was explaining "the game" as it compared to chess to Wallace and Bodie in "The Pit" the writers knew all three would be dead before the series was over, how they would be killed though had not yet been decided.

I wouldn't say that for the marlo...chris wasn't just muscle, marlo consulted chris and chris was there in pretty much every meeting with vinson.

at 3:00 he consults chris on what do about fruit...

marlo also partied with chris..



that party plan wasn't extended to snoop or monk so clearly chris is marlo's personal closest friend in the crew.

chris was certainly an enforcer but i wouldn't say that was his ONLY role in the crew.

but avon barksdale had to have a "number 2" because what else were you gonna call his boy?

This notion that avon carried stringer is just false...stringer had to have brought something to the table other than friendship or he wouldn't be in the crew in the first place. the fact that you site only the bad decisions stringer made doesn't prove anything since its the bad decisions the writer needs us to see to justify why stringer had to die.

Also no one gets rewards or accolades for doing their job correctly most of the time. Stringer set up some successful real estate transactions..it wouldn't get mentioned or made a big deal since thats what he supposed to be doing.

stringer makes a correct drug/crime call...no special mention because thats business as usual.

What if stringer had hit at omar on a saturday rather than sunday...would avon be as pissed off then? what if he hit omar and KILLED him on sunday...would avon be just as pissed then?

Stringer wasn't a genius by any stretch of the imagination but he wasn't a fuck up from jump street either..

1) the "fate of lex" scene doesn't show a "number 2" situation at the 3:00 mark or anywhere else. all of the crew (even the lowliest hitter) contribute in marlo's fact finding mission. it's marlo calling the shot based on the information he is provided by the crew.

2) chris doesn't "party" with marlo. chris is marlo's bodyguard. of course he's expected to be there.

3) we see the same thing play out in the "reveal" of avon's trojan horse ploy.

4) their roles are clearly defined in the holding cell, when marlo reminds chris of his place:

stringer had to have brought something to the table other than friendship or he wouldn't be in the crew in the first place. the fact that you site only the bad decisions stringer made doesn't prove anything since its the bad decisions the writer needs us to see to justify why stringer had to die.

first sentence is merely your assumption.

second sentence is because the bad decisions far outweigh the good decisions. moreover, there are few to no good decisions to cite.

agreed that stringer bell was certainly the vehicle for a story arc.

Also no one gets rewards or accolades for doing their job correctly most of the time. Stringer set up some successful real estate transactions..it wouldn't get mentioned or made a big deal since thats what he supposed to be doing.

first sentence, so what? who cares about accolades? how are accolades (given or ungiven) relevant to our discussion? we have measurable results.

what are the successful real estate transactions you attribute to stringer bell? can you enumerate them? and explain briefly why you regard them to be successful?

What if stringer had hit at omar on a saturday rather than sunday...would avon be as pissed off then? what if he hit omar and KILLED him on sunday...would avon be just as pissed then?

4) their roles are clearly defined in the holding cell, when marlo reminds chris of his place:

Of course the leader calls the shots..no one said chris was a partner or co-leader and a number 2 doesn't call shots..they just weigh in their opinion or knowledge and it carries more significance than anyone else.

When marlo asked the soldier what do you think the soldier said kill everyone and take the corner which would be in line with what they've been doing. Chris disagreed when marlo asked him and he agreed with chris's call (sometime later when bodie built up the corner marlo and chris came back and took it..3 guesses on who advised that move).

when Marlo said that Mike should make his bones and said he should kill Bodie to do it..Chris nixed that idea since Bodie was someone mike knew..



a bodyguard couldn't do that. Marlo talks to Chris like theyre contemporaries not employee-empoyer.

On at least two occasions marlo mentions partying on 2 occasions and both times he comes off more like chris is his roll dog than bodyguard.


in this clip he says he's lets celebrate in AC and chris nixes it because he's concerned about omar coming back and his family.
A bodyguard goes where he's told period.

in the jail cell..yes marlo is the leader no one is disputing that..but chris purposefully withheld info from him..(hmm...who else did that with leader of their crew...was it Stringer???) now why would chris feel free enough to do that if he sole role was employee only?

disagree[/QUOTE]
you completely missed the point..the reason you can reference and enumerate instances of mistakes because the writers had to, in a sense, build a case against stringer so that his mistakes justify his demise in the story. The story arc was designed so that you notice the mistakes.

There's at least two instances of successful real estate transactions where string was able to buy condos in their names rather than fronts. And freamon noticed that the barksdale crew was moving more and more into real estate properties when they busted the councilman's driver with cash.

 

[Cock Head Jones]

this thread is goin in circles like that math question thread.

that scene where michael drops dookie off for the last time was good man. i almost forgot how good it was.

and i always took it as michael not wanting to look back at those memories. too painful. i can also see how its possible that so much had happened since then that he didnt even remember that water balloon incident and it hurt him that he couldnt.

i didn't miss it.

you must have missed where i plainly stated that i agreed stringer bell was the vehicle for the story arc. plentiful examples of STUPID decisions to move the story along.

as for the real estate transactions, the stringer fans always want to marginalize (or aren't familiar with real estate enough to recognize) a $2M+ LOSS. oh, wait, the barksdale organization was so successful that absorbing a $2M+ LOSS was no thing.

and for those that are scratching their heads about $2M+, you can go ahead and watch the show to do the math.

i couldnt begin to tell you the impact of a $2mil loss unless I knew how much revenue the organization was bringing in with dope and legit biz combined.

i'll assume youve conceded the marlo/chris point..

as far as the money is concerned...check avons response when stringer wanted to hit clay davis..and in the end stringers death had nothing to with the real estate stuff..nor was it a factor.

 

[Djmarkxr7]

Re: "The Wire"

i'll assume youve conceded the marlo/chris point..

I'd have to say that even with the examples you've shown I wouldn't put Chris @ a #2 the same rank as Stringer.

We have to remember that we're talking about a street organization here, Chris is definitely inner circle but declining to use Michael on the hit on Brodie is more just Marlo deferring to Chris' expertise in training "the new pup" as opposed to Chris telling him no.

Chris going to speak with his family displayed this street association.

I believe that showing Chris holding back info from Marlo was done intentionally to show that Chris was fallible as well, he first displayed this when he beat Michael's father to death OUTSIDE of the vacants and with his own hand, this being the one true murder directly linked to Chris by DNA.

Chris was a mix of Stringer and Wee-Bay to Marlo, we saw that Bay and Chris became friends in prison, perhaps Chris walked that fine line whereas he might've been friends with Stringer as well.

as far as the money is concerned...check avons response when stringer wanted to hit clay davis..and in the end stringers death had nothing to with the real estate stuff..nor was it a factor.

The funny twist is...even if Omar and Brother didn't kill Stringer, he would've gone to jail anyway since they had Shamrock mentioning the "two hitters" that he wanted on the wire.

Stringer was still going ahead with his hit on Clay Davis.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

that's fair too.

i think duquan mentions that particular memory to michael because duquan is trying to evoke the same sympathy from michael that he received that day: after the water balloon fiasco, michael intimidated namond into giving duquan a dollar for the ice cream truck.

by this time, however, michael had become a hardened individual, and realized he could no longer care for or be the protector of his friend.

That makes sense. So that explains why he said "I don't even put a shadow on it" - I wasn't sure what that meant.

So he was relating how he got beat down and how it doesn't bother him to him now having to live with the baseheads trying to let Mike know he'll be alright. But he couldn't get that sympathy from Mike because Mike didn't remember them getting jumped by the Terrace boys.

I think Mike tried to remember but honestly couldn't and it hurt him because he realized he's lost his innocence because of all the killing and the drug dealing. As Dukie is describing that day, Mike doesn't nod his head at all like he has absolutely no memory of it. And right before he says "I don't" is when it hit him that he should be able to remember that shit, and his voice changes because the shit is too hard to swallow.

Deep scene.

I would say that based on what we've seen on the show...if marlo was killed...who would be the best most likely person to take over the crew...chris or monk?

 

[cranrab]

Re: "The Wire"

i'll assume youve conceded the marlo/chris point.

not in the least.

marlo being a friend (or friendly) with chris doesn't establish anything in either direction. so what?

at best, chris was occasionally a sounding board.

much like stringer's character in avon's arc, chris was a vehicle for marlo's story arc; chris provided the opportunity for the audience to hear marlo's thoughts aloud.

chris didn't make any plans to move the organization forward. he was just muscle.

people always want to see a "number 2".

Re: "The Wire"

This might sound strange but since I can't really recall Chris showing any propensity towards the drug dealing side of Marlo's "empire" (and was in jail) and from that scene in prison we clearly see Monk defer to Chris I would say that the organization would either fall or splinter up into smaller groups.

The guy who was pushing to take Lex's corner, not just to kill Lex seems like a candidate to come up.

Others would probably just fold into Slim's crew.

Marlo was a strong, decisive leader, Monk didn't really display those attributes and Chris really didn't seem interested in the drug side but I could be wrong.

If we're comparing Chris to Stringer, I agree. It's clear the relationship between Marlo and Chris wasn't the same as Avon and Stringer. However, that doesn't mean that he wasn't a "#2." Just in a different manner is what I think was being argued (excuse me if I'm wrong geechie). Chris was definitely a counsel to Marlo. Never once did they show Marlo acting that way with Snoop, Monk or anyone else. Chris was definitely his Consigliere. In my mind, I always looked at Chris as an amalgamation of Slim Charles (to Prop Joe) and Weebay (to Avon obviously).

Slim Charles never really showed that side either until he was kinda forced into it. Initially, he was just muscle for Avon. Then became more of a Consigliere to Prop Joe after the fall of the Barksdale crew. Once Joe was gone, he chose not to be a Lieutenant under Marlo knowing that's not really who he was. After Marlo was taken down, and after he took out Cheese, he then met with the Greek and became that dude who had to get his hustle on since he was the "top dog" by default.

True.

Mofo actually stepped up and took over the Co-op with Fat Face Rick!

From that POV then it would just be hard for Chris to run things from jail without already having some sort of formal setup in place already.

All that being said I don't think these choices matter anyway, as we saw Marlo was irrepressibly drawn back to the streets anyway.

I think that we were shown this with all of the characters of "The Wire".

One or two did manage to change but for the most part they were who they were, and if that lead to them being killed/going to jail then so be it.

I pointed out that Avon shouldn't have been in the safehouse being that he was out on parole and, even though it was because of Stringer, he put himself in harm's way and ended up back in jail because of it.

Remember the chess game.

D'Angelo pointed out that the game is all about protecting the king, if the king goes down you lose the game.

EVERY other piece on the board is merely there to protect the king, so much so that the king "ain't gotta do shit!"

Bodie points out "Like your uncle.", referring to D's uncle, Avon.

D then points out the queen, "She's smart and she's fierce...she is the go get shit done piece!"

Wallace points out "Reminds me of Stringer!"

D makes the salient point about the game, and life in general @ the end, "The pawns man, in the game...they get capped quick!"

To which Bodie replies "Unless they some smart ass pawns!"

Life lesson right there!

Re: "The Wire"

Best scene in television history in my opinion

 

[LURK DAWG]

In this episode Marlo gets beaten soundly in a high stakes poker game by some old high rollers..not only do the old players beat him and take all his dough, they are clowning him the whole time..laughing at him and talking shit...but he never loses his cool calmly walks out after getting his ass whipped, calls Chris to come pick him up. I always wondered why he never came back at those old players or had Chris and the boys hunt them down kill them all and take back all the money he lost...especially considering in the same episode he has Chris and Snoop kill a security guard for "talkin back"? I mean he has definitely killed for less..remember he wanted to get at Junebug "for talkin that shit," but what did Junebug actually say to set him off? just wondering out loud...any theories??

 

[BDR]

Best scene in T.V history at the 4:10 mark....


"matter of speaking that be true"

 

[RunawaySlave]

Maybe I'm getting soft as I get older, but I gotta feel sorry for Dre man. He should have just taken some Poot lessons and just kept his mouth shut.
Intuition is part of the game man and if you ain't got none, you need to step on out. The man who recognizes this about himself is the wisest cat on the
show IMO which is why I think Poot was my favorite character

We were never told exactly what it was that Daniels did but he did indeed do something, he had hundreds of thousands of "unaccounted for" money, "more than a lieutenant makes" in his account, it was important enough for him to advise his wife about it AFTER they had split up because there was a threat of the information being released and since she was now an elected politician, it could have hurt her.

Remember as well that in the end Daniels ended up stepping down and leaving the department, that pretty City Council chick Campbell had been given his file by Burrell before he left and she was using it to exert power over Daniels, this is why, when the show ended, we see Daniels is now a practicing attorney and his girl Pearlman was now a judge.
