So Saturday I spent the whole day cleaning, throwing paper away and moving some furniture around here. Now the room looks way more decent but point is, while throwing away said paper, since I'm the multi-task person that I am, I managed to watch another three episodes of The Wire. So since I'm mid season, review! Pretty scattered stuff as usual. About up 2x07, more or less.



1. God S2 is totally awesome. I'm liking it so much! It just gets better and better. *sigh*

2. So they got the Tom Waits version of the song in the titles? Aawesome. Though I still believe that Earle does it better ;)

3. I think creepy Not-Oceanic won me over. At the beginning I felt so sad for him in that basement (and when McNulty went there -> awesomeness) but then he totally owned and I'm loving him right now.

4. Greggs is always awesome, even when she goes to strip clubs with her girlfriend. Bless her.

5. WTF fourteen dead girls? *shudders*

6. Bunk and Freamon teaming up? How made of awesome? How? How?

7. Okay, shoot me, I'm really liking Prez.

8. After episode 2x06 (I think it was 6?) or the following one, or well, when Herc tackles Carver onto the sofa, I'm sorry but I can't totally refrain from slashing those two like woah. Because come on. I mean. Odd couple INDEED. That scene where the transceiver thing got broken and that part before? Come on. They're made of uttermost win.

9. Bubbles!! He hasn't been around much to be honest and that's a pity but do I love him? Much? And his friend too? And when they found Omar on McNulty's behalf? Best thing ever.

10. Beadie wins. No woman is at Greggs' level but I love her, too. Yay good female characters, indeed.

11. WTF they killed the d'Angelo kid? I didn't expect that. Just when he was getting better.. *sigh* Also, I guess his mother wasn't that bad in the end. Though now I guess she's going to wish she let him testify. Poor guy.

12. The port people don't do much for me though. I mean, the union guy, Frank I think, has his interest character speaking, he's very interesting, but his son, nephew and co. are way less interesting or so it seems to me. Well, they're still interesting enough. And I want to know what's up with the fourteen girls, damnit.

13. Okay, I think Omar owns me to the end of time. How awesome is he? I mean. I mean. Let's go by points.

13a. When he made that deal with the two lesbian robbers he was just made of winning material.

13b. That part where his boyfriend was totally jealous?

Okay, apart from the fact that my inner slasher never minds man on man action, but I mean. The man is indeed noticeable, he totally has the accent effect on me and well, that scene melted me or something. By the way, his new boyfriend isn't that hard on the eye.

13c. When he went shopping for ties with McNulty I was cracking up like... I can't even remember. It was just so priceless. Can I go shopping with the both of you?

13d. And when he showed up with that tie at the process? How can you not love him?

13e. And then not only he lied in that oh so smooth way but he totally pwned that attorney that I totally would kill myself if I could. When he was there doing all of his blathering and then he's like 'you're just like me?' and shuts him up in a second? Massive, massive love. Also, what's with my ethics? I shouldn't pine for people that testify the false. But well, ends justify the means I guess. Really, where the heck are all my ethics going? Oh well.

13f. And he goes around with a shotgun robbing drug dealers and he has morals. God I think that if my other two favorites don't do anything awesome in a while he's going to get the first place and no one will throw him down.

13g. Please someone stop my brain. I hate it. I hate it. Because it wants me to write Omar/Sayid being a kickass assassin team. And I can't do this. I'm nowhere near good enough to write something like this. I can't. And crossovers are hard. I can't. Why does my brain hate me? And why would they be so damn sexy doing something like it anyway?

14. I love how almost everyone from the old S1 is under Creepy-Not-Oceanic who seems way more benevolent. Go him!

15. Sorry for being so shallow again but dear McNulty, please consider wearing a leather jacket more often because, m'dear, you know how to wear it. Really.

16. And since I have to do it.. /opens shallow corner/

McNulty doing patrol service? *eyes Rawls badly and shakes head* also, that uniform doesn't suit him, nor the hat. I demand that he stops doing patrol service. But... uuuhm. Episode 2 I think when he went drunk to the D.A. and... and.... uuuuhm, dearest, you have a great back. I think the room became sort of hot. Guuuush. Also, drunk!McNulty -> why do drunk people have the effect that they do on me? Yes Desmond Hume, I'm looking also at you. And if I was his wife I wouldn't mind, you know.. well. *cough* He was a total jerk to the poor D.A. though. I hope the vision of his heavenly back was enough of a consolation for her *sighs and shakes head at McNulty*.

/closes shallow corner/

17. God this really seems a totally squeeful and shallow entry but I swear I had also some intelligent things to say. I guess that it's because I don't take notes or stuff and then I don't remember the serious stuff I wanted to say.

18. To cut things short, it's fantastic. I love it. Can't wait to see how this season ends.



Okay, and now Kant again. *sigh*
