Omar

Actually, Omar is basically better than everything, in every other TV show or any entertainment medium, ever. If the show was just Omar wandering around bumming his boyfriend and robbing drug dealers, and nothing else, it'd still be amazing.

Yeah I'm only starting season 2 but Omar is good. That bit where he's just walking round with a shotgun in his coat.

Finally, a positive role model for homosexuals.

the court room scene with him as a witness was sweet, his put down to the lawyer that he was essentially a parasite making a living off the back of crime was the best.

Yeah, sat there in his normal clothes with a tie on. Brilliant.

Just this week I have started to watch the beginning of season 2 (I gave up on season 1), and while I will be off to the video rental joint this afternoon to get the next dvd (episodes 3-5?), I still haven't figured out why this show is so popular. I have not been grabbed by the characters or the plot so far (why I gave up on season 1), and I'm forcing myself to sit through a couple more episodes just to see if it does anything for me.

In the meantime, can someone please explain to this thick-skulled anarch why it is that so many other libertarians enjoy this show? So far I just don't get it.

The best thing about The Wire is that its basically what Baltimore is actually like.

You got the picture from Omar getting his crunchy nut, which is probably his best moment.

He robs drug dealers, not people.

Nah, his best moment is when he's a BNBG. wink

But The Wire show drug-dealers are people, many of them cunts, but still people.

List of good things about the wire:

- The fact that I've never seen it and have no intention of doing so.

End of list.
