End of last season there was a big discussion on the board over that. In the recap before the first episode they made it seem like michael did it. Who do you think pulled the trigger.
 
It was dude in S5E2 who was in the car with Snoop and the guy who shot Cutty, and told them to do the shooting "Cali" style.

Cosign above. It was O-Dog. A few scenes before in Michael's new apartment, Marlo makes it clear that Michael's first assignment should NOT be to kill someone he knows, i.e Bodie. Also, the DVD commentary featured David Simon addressing the question, and saying that O-Dog did it.
 
IT WAS O-DOG, MICHAEL WAS HOME GETTING SOME PUSSY.:yes: ENUFF ALREADY.

I don't like guessing. So I took a picture damnit.

So I stand corrected. But I did not take part in that other thread. So this discussion is all new to me


Anyway, I still say it was McNULTY that got him killed anyway.

If you wanna play the blame game then Bodie basically committed suicide...in the game that he's in that nigga shoulda known better than to take favors from cops...case closed...better yet he should've never taken marlo's package...

If he didn't take Marlo's package, he would have got deaded in the 1st episode
 
Bodie simply shouldnt have allowed Mcnulty to bail him out..or take the ride wit him. He been in the game long enough to know what can happen.
He did say he felt old, so i guess he was tired and just put his guard down

Bodie was always a dumb soldier...luck and heart just kept him in the game longer than he shoulda been...

put it like this, bodie was like a mom & pop hardware store, marlo is fukking home depot. you gotta see the writing on the wall. if youre bodie you can either

"close up the store" (stop slinging which really wasnt an option)


"fight the good fight & stay independant" (and watch your market share erode & possibly be the victim of a hostile takeover)


"take a job offer at home depot" (and plan your next move while on the inside of the opposition)



plus if you look at it, bodie was always a worker, a lieutenant at best. like poot said, one boss aint different than another. just so happens that he came up under the barksdales
 
Dawg no disrespect but I don't need the explanations or analogies...I been understood the shit...his situation was catch-22...he woulda signed his life away if he didn't take the package and he signed his life away when he took the package..no win situation...and as dumb as he was I am pretty sure he was smart enough to realize he won't moving up in Marlo's crew...and Poot is a dumbass pussy chasing fool...Marlo and Avon are perfect examples of how bosses can differ...Avon respects the game...Marlo does not...I am not saying one is better than the other but they are different...

Mike didn't kill Bodie..

Marlo....send your pup to do it..

Chris...His first needs to be somebody he doesn't know..he used to work for the man..

we good comrade, i like talking the wire anyway


heres the thing...you saying he fukked up when he took marlo's package, shyt take it back further than that, he fukked up when he started taking "packages" to begin with. the game only ends one of two ways. look back at season one cast, the street side. who's left? by my count prop joe, omar (who's on semi vacation) & poot's irrelevant azz. everyone else is on a ghetto vacation or laying stiff somewhere. bodie got dealt some cards...you either play the hand you have or get the fukk up from the table



actually i think marlo is a better boss than avon. thing is he was more gully than stringer & he was more clever than avon which is why he ended up getting the best of both of them...his downfall is that he's on some "kill him just because" shyt...its one thing to fukk with drug dealers & prostitutes but once you start fukking with regular civilians youre speeding up your own exit out the game...still mad behind that deliverywoman chris partlow killed just to frame omar
 
agreed marlo will kill anyone he feels, shit his people were about to jump on the white and black cop in season 3. them niggas breakin all rules, i aint no hood nigga but i do know if you eatin and aint nobody else eating your time is short. but thats aight i think omar gonna make it right. he took out alot of barksdale soldiers, marlo's people can get it too. i see snoop as the new bodie except shes just muscle. luck and heart nothing more. now chris eventhough i dont like him. i gotta respect the fact that he has a method to his madness. out of all the street characters i think him a michael are the only ones that can and will walk away.

The same cat who shot Cutty in the leg!!!!!!!!!
 
He got his hands dirty killing that chick who Avon used to try and set him up.

True, however Avon was getting strapped up with the crew to look for Marlo, he was taking bullets, breaking bread with the crew, meaning he was hit man, soldier and boss, where as Marlo mainly delegates. He is ripe for a takeover from a subordinate.
 
So glad I watched this episode for the very first time last night. Otherwise, some bitch would've ruined it by posting season finale spoilers in the title of a fucking thread.

Instead of titling it something like "Question about the Wire Season 4," and within the post, asking the same question. You could get your answers without fucking it up for people.
