I think that by this time in The Wire, these scenes don't seem superfluous, they seem like authentic expressions of the characters' personalities.scritichttp://cogsciresearch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-17099990209800181562012-02-22T19:16:17.186-06:002012-02-22T19:16:17.186-06:00Very nice write-up.

I don't agree with all the details (e.g.: I think season 3 was arguably the best; and while I also really, really love Homicide, I don't think there's any plausible reason that its more traditional TV-show nature means its better than The Wire). I also think you're crazy to try to sum up the show in eleven scenes... but, given the essential lunacy of the task, you do well at it.<br /><br />If you've never read <a href="http://notthebeastmaster.typepad.com/weblog/2008/02/heroin-or-the-e.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post on The Wire</a> (not mine, don't worry), then I think it will interest you, particularly given what you said about S2. And while it's not as good (said the man who thinks S3 might be best...), <a href="http://notthebeastmaster.typepad.com/weblog/2006/09/the_three_faces.html" rel="nofollow">this post relating The Wire to Homicide by the same blogger</a> might interest you too.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524368948187746248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-68142190702833400342012-02-16T19:49:56.758-06:002012-02-16T19:49:56.758-06:00Pitch perfect, Russell.Pitch perfect, Russell.Brad Kramerhttp://bycommonconsent.comnoreply@blogger.com
