Wither The Wire?

i've only seen more than a few episodes of any tv shows for the past four or so years in the past month. and those have all been episodes of the wire. this here is just to publish a mark of some thoughts made in one successive stem.


wire predictions
After noreece the city hall president gains the upper hand politically in the next mayor race due to bond’s mishandling of the clay davis affair, she uses her information about daniels to thwart carcetti’s plans and redirect power within the police department. Templeton’s shortcuts at the newspaper become close to scandal within the office but the sensation surrounding his stories earns him protection from the bosses and eventually success as he betrays his police informant to protect his own lies about the serial killer. Mcnulty’s career ends in ruins just as the wire tap is near closing on marlo, and the scandal cripples daniels, dodging curruptions accusations, in his work to reform the police administration. Marlo does get caught though, caught between too many forces aligned against him. All are enemies now he wears the crown, and his only allies are his troops. He’s got omar, the new day coop, and both legitimate and illegitimate branches of the police operation after him. In the end, one shall knock him down. It could be omar, for an ultra television satisfaction, but I think however marlo falls omar gets downed at last by Michael, although not necessarily outdueled. And in vacuum created through marlo’s death or arrest, Michael’s reputation as omar’s killer lifts him to the crown (note the crown and the no. 1 on michael’s shirt when he visits bunk in the police station). Marlo of course had been a bloody master but he won the western mainly on the false reputation for murdering stringer bell. This season is all about reputations, about perception as information spreads. Michael seems a ripe candidate to be the season’s, and the series’s, heartbreaker. Paws on the puppy. And bubbles saves a life.
