The Wire Nostalgia

So recently I've been re-watching The Wire with my girlfriend (she's never seen them).  I'm watching Season 3 for the first time in like 2 years, it's awesome - I forgot how good Season 3 was.  As I re-watch it, I think Season 3 was really the peak of the show.  There are so many plot lines going on simultaneously yet you can still follow each of them very easily.  Season 4 is definitely a good one too, I'll be re-watching it next so I'll decide for sure then which one is better.

There is no chance that Season 5 will over-take either 3 or 4 for favorite in my mind.

Anyway, The Onion AV Club blog pointed me to an awesome collection of pictures from the abandoned soundstage used to film The Wire.  The captions do include some spoilers, so if you haven't watched the entire series, be careful!

This is definitely a good use of the internet, this is entertainment for a minute or two for a few die-hard fans of a defunct TV show - I continue to marvel at how easily we can now document, in great detail, essentially trivial things.

I was greatly amused to see Sheila Dixon get indicted last week. The insinuations in The Wire were always that Nerese Campbell was very dirty, and since she's definitely based on Sheila Dixon, it almost makes me wonder what kind of inside information David Simon might have had (or sadly, that inside information wasn't needed and that all Baltimore politicians are dirty)
