The Wire 2x10 Full Reaction

Excited for the discussion vid for this episode. Also, Inner peace. vinland season 2 original sound track has been released. Some of my favorites are the "oath", "two souls", "unleashed winds", "farming" , "fire" (milena loved this in ep22) , and "destination". The famous piano track is from s1 known as "rusty sword" (lola found it stunning in ep 23).

Yes. The FBI is interested in taking down the union. Police was invented to protect the rich from the working class.

Ziggy changing the one word in his confession is some of my favorite writing ever. So simple, but tells you so much about his character as well.

Phwah, this is a great bloody episode. I had forgotten how good it was prior to this watch-along. Season 2 ends really strong.

A popular line in Stephen King's Dark Tower series is "the world moves on..." That feels like The Wire often time. Ziggy shoots up the Greeks, D'Angelo meets his fate, something else huge makes it's impact, but The Wire just keeps moving! The world move on. Because, in the end, the story of the world is just so much bigger than any one thing (no matter how emotional) and this is one of the few shows that just keeps pressing forward no matter what. Doesn't matter how huge the impact is, society just keeping pressing forward for good or ill. It's the true nature of reality, which The Wire is actually able to capture. GoT once upon a time had that ability then lost it :/ You felt the show lose grip of this in the later seasons.

I appreciate the empathy you guys show for Ziggy. He's not an easy character to like, given how idiotic and self-destructive his behavior is over the course of the season, but I've always had more sympathy for him than most viewers seem to. It's not an easy thing to spend your whole life being ignored, laughed at or treated with contempt by everyone around you.

Knowing what Ziggy does in this episode, I've been really impressed that the girls noticed the tragedy of his character from early in the season.

i want moooore the wire T_T

Y'all being speechless during the Ziggy segment has me crying lmao.

Bless.
