The Wire 5x08 Full Reaction

loved that Lola was so tuned in for the FBI profile scene. been looking forward to that scene for a couple episodes. Proably the best comedy of the season.

The actor who plays Randy Wagstaff has a series of interviews/podcasts on youtube, and one of them features the actor who played Kenard. Apparently, the first time they ran the scene with Omar, using the prosthetics/special affects, he was so scared he ran straight out of the store and back to his trailer. Michael K. Williams went there to calm him down and reassure him that everything was fine. Apparently the kid absolutely loved Michael, and even though he knew it was fake, he was scared he had actually hurt him somehow

Omar's death is one that I appriciate a lot. Not because I wanted him dead. No way. He's one of my favorite characters on television. (Marlo is too, but that's another story lol). No, the reason I appreciate it is because it stays in line with the realism of the show. Omar is a favorite character by fans. I respect that they didn't give him this "Hollywood going out guns blazing" death. The reason being that in real life it just doesn't happen that way. No matter what your rep is. Omar is killed. We don't linger on the scene really. We just go to the next scene like he was anybody else. The crime scene is conducted like anybody else. Later zipped up in the bodybag like anybody else. Because that's the reality in the game. A common theme in the show that I really love.

Shoutout to Lola, that was the best shiiiiiet of the whole series. Also poor Doberman being forgotten about 😭

A shame we will never see their full reaction to omars death

The long awaited reaction to THAT scene!

Oh my God i cannot WAIT to see your reaction to the final two episodes, I just love them so so much!! Gonna watch this rn
