gimme the late pass, i just finished watching the entire series in one week.
i meant to watch it 5 times a week for 9 weeks...but that shit was addictive like digital crack.
these are the deaths that affected me the most.
#5 Proposition Joe
Joe was a business man first and foremost, a gentleman rogue, an old school playa. he was smart, efficient, and understood the consequences of rash behavior. it was very disappointing to see him go, cause with him went any hope for sensibility in that world.
#4 Butchie
cot damn...old cats in the game were just as vulnerable as the corner boys. Butchie was a source of wisdom for anyone who needed it...hurt to see that guy go out like that.
#3 Omar Little
hey man, Omar got out of the game just in time...only to be forced back in. the AMAZING thing about his death was that he was never a threat to children, yet they were the first to always run from him. it ended up being a child who Omar needed to fear the most. Omar was a bandit, a western desperado...dude even wore a duster and carried an old school winchester shotgun. so though his death was TOTALLY expected, it was disappointing none the less.
#2 DeAngelo Barkesdale
dude was never cut out for the evils of the game. he was too gentle a soul for all that backstabbing. all he wanted was to retire and be left alone, as he felt he had no choice but to be a part of the family business. it's crazy how his mother groomed him for it, told him to embrace it, then he died at the hands of someone who he was taking the rap for.
#1 Wallace
c'mon man...Wallace took care of school kids...making sure they got breakfast, juice boxes, a safe place to sleep at night...and how did he get repaid? one to the chest, one to the head, and one to the face.
what happened to his FRIENDS who killed him? one got killed himself, the other ended up selling sneaks at Foot Locker.
that might've been the best tv series i've witnessed. it ceased to be a drug story, cop drama, or crime tale, and simply became a community story intertwining the lives of the people of that city during that time. who you got?

dude, ALL OF THEM fucked up. Stringer snitched out Avon, Avon gave up Stringer to Brother Mouzone and Omar, Bodie snitched out Marlo, etc etc.
