The Wire 2x06 Reaction

Avon had nothing to do with D's death.

Avon didnt order his death, Stringer did behind his back.

I feel like they misread the Avon and Stringer scene from last ep a bit(or I did), to me the thought of having to maybe kill D crossed his mind and he talked to Stringer for reassurance that he's been good to D but he never thought Stringer would do that behind his back without an express order. Stringer took it as a green light but I don't think Avon intended it that way. It's possible in the future Avon would have come to the conclusion yea we have to kill him but we'll never know because Stringer decided to make that decision for him

Stringer and Avon are Wallace and Dee. One born into a crime family with money and structure around him with the expectation of continuing the family business. The other probably more intelligent and resourceful but little to no family or money (not entirely sure in Stringer's case) to speak of. His only real opportunity rests in his friendship with a Barksdale. Stringer and Avon are cold, ruthless and closed-off from everyone and everything except each other. They are found family. They live longer and "thrive" -- in the game at least-- because of it. In the end, Wallace and Dee were just too good

Apologies if I butcher this, but a grand jury is a larger jury (like 23 people) that helps a prosecutor decide whether there's probable cause to charge a suspect. They sit there and have the evidence presented to them (which includes interviews like what they were doing with Horseface) and ask questions and the rules for what evidence they can see are much more relaxed than in a criminal trial since they're only voting to indict instead of to send someone to jail. At some levels a potential suspect doesn't even get to have a lawyer with them at the grand jury hearing because they haven't been charged yet. That doesn't prevent someone like Horseface from invoking his 5th amendment rights over and over again, but it also doesn't prevent anyone on the grand jury from finding suspicion in that behavior.

That thumbnail. Omar in court is so goated

So I've been watching the girls' reactions to shows for a while now (not that you'd be able to tell, it's not like I comment everyday or anything like that 😛), and I think this might be one of the best reaction videos they've made so far. The episode itself is killer, but it isn't necessarily the type of television episode that would garner a lot of emotion out of the vast majority of reactors, save for perhaps the ending scene. But here you have the girls who are fangirling over Omar like they're seeing him in concert, being so concerned for Dee when he's in his prison cell, the reaction to McNulty conversing with his wife juxtaposed by his drinking with Bunk, wanting Ziggy to stay quiet during the meeting, their amusement at Prop Joe's bluntness etc. There's a lot that happens in the episode in general, but I really don't think that a reaction from any one else would truly make me feel as though I'm experiencing the episode for the first time all over again. To me I think that this reaction in particular exemplifies why I love the channel so much, as it showcases how intellectually invested the girls are in storytelling, and of course the world surrounding them too. So much media discourse these days falls privvy to headline-reviews or the most popular twitter hot-take, so it's completely refreshing to have an hour long post-show analysis for a series like The Wire, whose episodes cannot have their meaning adequately surmised in merely a paragraph. This channel scratches an itch that someone like myself (who both creates and consumes art) has which is to constantly try to understand the artform in progressively deeper ways. Though I'm sure the girls themselves will probably dismiss this comparison, I feel like watching Lola and Milena react to a show is like watching Lester and Prez working a case. It's not just the competency component that's impressive, it's the fact that you're watching two people who are so thoroughly passionate and fascinated by what they're doing that it makes you hang on their every word. Every once in a while when I leave a big comment such as this saying how much I completely adore this channel, I second guess myself and think that it's really just because I love the series themselves so much that I'm getting ahead of myself. But then a reaction like this will come along and I'll realise that this channel is truly a gem. I didn't think I could possibly become any more passionate about storytelling prior to the discovery of the channel, and each new upload is like uncovering a new layer of hidden-knowledge of the artform. More than that, it stands as a regular reminder that art has value and meaning, honest characterisation is paramount to depicting the human condition, and that empathy and understanding is the foundation of everything both in art and life itself. As someone who plans to continue creating stories for the rest of my life, it's an entirely accurate statement to make that this channel has genuinely changed my life for the better, and were the channel to stop tomorrow, I've already gained so much as it stands that I couldn't be ungrateful. Girls, thank you for your commitment to the channel, sincerely.

I read a comment somewhere that a great callback in regard to Dee talking about the Great Gatsby is back in season one when Wallace was freaking out about Brandon and he says something like “it feels like he’s watching me, it fucks me up” which can be like in the book with the big eyes on the billboard always watching.

Lola with the Kendall Roy shirt........W

Išao sam da spavam i onda sam video da ste izbacile celu reakciju, prvi put da sam upalio celu epizodu i slušao vas uporedo umesto da gledam editovano. Samo nastavite, zadovoljstvo vas je slušati kako pričate o ovom savršenstvu od serije

omg i think 1hr 40min is their 3rd longest video behind the bcs finale and the aot special

A proper pupper introduction has been made. We can rest easy now lol

"I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?" An iconic line from an iconic show.

Puppy!!! 😍 I am not kidding when I say I have been waiting all day for this video, just so that I could see the dog

ALREADY!? Goddamn i just finished listening to the review for 2 05, which is funny because you were lamenting how long the review is. And this is almost 100 minutes in length lmao season 4 genuinely can't come soon enough ❤️❤️❤️

Ohhh I thought it was actually yours lol but still cute dog.
