On Wednesday I finished re-watching The Wire with my Mam (it was her first time seeing it), and not only do I think that season 5 is insanely underrated (myself personally preferring it Season 3 by a considerable degree), but it might be one of my favourite series finales of all time. If you're fully caught up on the show, here's my thoughts in Rot 13 below: V zragvbarq n srj gvzrf gung V jbhyq cynpr frnfba 5 bs Gur Jver nobir frnfba 3, ohg qnza V zvtug npghnyyl chg vg ba gur fnzr yriry nf frnfba 1 naq v ernyyl zrna gung.

Oh my God yes I forgot to mention that hahaha!! They're hatred of him and Naymond's mom is so on point.

The day Lola forces Milena to watch LOTR will be huge on this channel

You mentioned, with regards to Dennis not being able to vote, the show deliberately including passing commentary on social issues. Another example of that in this episode was when Miss Anna (Randy’s foster mom) expressed her frustration that she was gonna be late for work because of the queue to vote. In many other democracies, voting occurs on a public holiday/weekend (or over a period of a week) to maximise the amount of people that can vote… but in America they have elections on weekdays which mean many people (especially those in low-paying jobs without flexible hours) can’t vote because they can’t get time off work.

Re-watch Lord of the Rings!! I'm preeeetty sure Milena will like it now.

Yea, deciding to sleep around with the mother's of the boys you teach boxing too is such a terrible idea. Cutty is 100% in the wrong for that one, I was very disappointed when I saw that. I honestly can't express enough how terrible I felt for Randy throughout this episode, the boy is so scared of going back into the system and Mrs. Donnelly using that as a threat every time always makes me rage, it's such a horrible thing to do to a child. Loved to see Prez start to really care for these kids, as well as Carver. I don't give Carver nearly enough credit but he honestly might have the best character development in the show. I love how in this season, we don't get a lot of the characters we have been following, because it allows for the show to just show us these kids, so that each child's story is highlighted and none of their stories fall to the wayside.

Re: your plans to film a movie reaction, you could just film the entire thing and upload the full uncut reaction here to Patron for the time being, then figure out the editing at a later stage. Or just keep it a Patron-only exclusive for the foreseeable.

Great commentary as always. I love how Randy still feels like he has to finish handing out the fliers, even though he basically got forced into it and could've easily stopped early. Shows what a good heart he has.

Wrt watching and reacting to a movie - anyone know whether L&M are into horror movies because t'is the season to be frightened...

Agent Squirrels

Randy is such a great kid. Smart, kind, charismatic, hard-working...In any other circumstance, the sky would be the limit for a kid like that. The same goes for all of them. It's a great example of what people mean when they talk about privilege and the lie that if you work hard enough, you can be or do anything. These kids would have to work 20 times harder than a middle-class kid, just to keep their heads above water. Most people don't have that in them, let alone children. Everything is rigged for them to fail.

I know Milena doesn't watch them. But I'd kill to see her react to horror movies

Wanda Did Nothing Wrong

Honestly the most shocking part of this review is Lola saying that Lexie is her favourite Greys character when Amelia Sheppard exists.

2023-10-09 22:08:29 Really appreciate the discussion pointing out the parallels between Dee and Namond, the look Brianna gives Namond makes me think she might have caught the irony of the situation but it doesn’t change anything of course… The scenes with the boys being paid pennies to throw fliers around for an election that they have no power over (that directly affects them) are scenes I would like to show out of context to someone who hasn’t watched the show

the chosen one

Clay Davis is the funniest character every scene he’s in is comedy. Namonds mom might be the worst person in the show. Everyone including Chris that are the worst most likely have had a very traumatic and traumatizing childhood and gone through very traumatic experiences making them develop differently into straight up sociopaths like Chris and Marlo or people like prop joe and stringer who are just warped from their environments completely. Namonds mom is just like this, even if bad stuff happened it couldn’t have made her like this. She’s just a genuinely awful person who never changed. I don’t think anything made her like this like most of the other horrible people in the show. She just a complete narcissist who manipulates and cares nothing about her son. Randy is such a polite and nice kid he doesn’t deserve anything to happen to him. He didn’t even do anything. It’s so saddening seeing them with no chances or help they would all be successful and have good lives if not for stuff completely out of their control.
