i really miss The Wire. it really was one of the best cop shows.

someone told me Omar's scars were real.

Lemmy Caution said...

IMDB says "His large facial scar is the result of a bar fight he got involved on his 25th birthday. His assailants sliced him with razor blades.".

Ouch.

Scene in "The Wire" based on this event??????? (the school scene...fight between the girls in the classroom..... I wonder....) Watching season four... 'tis tough to get through....so heartbreaking.......

Did you catch him in "The Philantropist" as the factotem??!!

Lemmy Caution said...

Good point giggles....I hadn't thought of that, but the razor attack in the classroom does seem to be similar to that indeed.

Enjoy, as much as you can, making your way through season 4. I am of the opinion that it is literally the greatest season of any television show ever. It's amazingly layered and endlessly fascinating.

No, I am not familiar with "The Philanthropist", but will look it up !

Philantropist: short lived NBC series... it was good , for network tv, while it lasted...already gone.....

Yes, endlessly layered. I am sure there is so very much I am missing the first time through.... I expect to visit it again and again....
