I am reasonably sure that God is angry

Omar is Dead, and Life as We Know It Seems Drab and Barren

Amen, brother, amen. I purely hate to see Omar gone. I was just thinking, when Omar walked into that store, that if Omar didn’t make it out of this season alive, it would be at the deadly hand of some shorty trying to make his bones, and he would never see it coming. Then, kaboom! It was kind of weird for me there for a couple of seconds.

I’ve got a strange relationship with The Wire. I watched it mostly off and occasionally on over the years, but I never really got into the whole thing. Too tangled up, too many plot lines, too many characters, the same problem with any five-year long serial for a newbie. But Pete was insistent, so I downloaded all the first four seasons, and watched them over the course of four weeks. It is, unquestionably, brilliant. I do, unquestionably, feel sorry for the dude who writes it. I have to wonder if there is even a single ray of happiness that has penetrated his soul. But like Cormac McCarthy, another world-renowned nihilist, I think the answer is Yes, and Simon’s just showing off. But my only point is, Damn that’s some dark shit. I think I would recommend that you take a little time to soak up all five seasons at a reasonable pace after this one’s over.

And I’m not sure that I’ll ever watch it again, but if I do, it’ll be from start to finish. It really is that well-done and deserves that level of attention.
