There's something really sexy about Scrooge McDuck. I love Uncle Scrooge.

Oh yeah. What did the guy try to do to the country girl that freaked her out? I couldn't understand a word of what anyone was saying in that scene.

Try to have sex with her. She isn't cut out for "the life".

"Alright let me tell you guys something, I don't gently caress up nearly as much as people say I do."
"Well, on that inspirational note, I'll pretend to be encouraged."

That was my favorite part of the episode up until the the cold blooded shooting. drat, Leon really wanted to do something special and make that hopple popple for her. The Wire reference was just icing.

I also enjoyed the Bobby subplot about falling for a hooker who was more than willing to play him.

Why did Ashley balk at working in a brothel? It sounds a lot safer and nicer than working on the street.

Do we really need to explain why a woman might have had enough of being repeatedly slammed in the crotch by multiple strangers' dicks?

What the heck is Frank Sobotka doing with Tiffany?

I don't run a whorehouse but even I know falling for a hooker is probably a bad idea.

More or less what he told Alston - he's part of the new guard that's looking to clean up the NYPD, and wants the real story on the precinct, how deep the corruption runs and who the dirtiest cops are.

Thanks for that context, makes a lot more sense.

I was wrong about how that scene was going to play out over and over. "He'll yell at him and kick him out. OK, he'll rough him up a bit and then kick him out. He'll just menace him with the gun, but he won't shoot him. OK, the gunshot won't be fatal."

Leon did not strike me as someone who takes half measures.

I've suspect that it's Frankie since that shot appeared in an early trailer...primarily because I wonder how committed Franco is to the dual role thing.

She's a Times Square streetwalker who was cut by her pimp a few episodes ago but being shown the door of the brothel changed her mind.

There is an absolutely brilliant scene in The Wire in which the dialog consists of nothing more than like 20 uses of the word "gently caress" and facial expressions.

Seriously, watch The Wire. You'll come across so many actors you now have seen in many roles but who were discovered on that show, and who found permanent places in our hearts.

I think I'm with you on this. She's a great actress and the character is good and complicated, but it's almost like she's a transplant from this year sent back into the 70's world of the show. Her sensibilities feel about three decades ahead of the curve (but maybe that's the entire point of the character - showing that she's ahead of her time but also giving the modern-day audience an attitude analog). She certainly isn't bad by any means, but I do agree that she's a little out of place.

For a spoiled college kid in the early 70s? She's not really ahead of the curve at all, the counterculture movement pushed hard left. She only seems unusually progressive in comparison to what came afterwards.

She's very obviously out of her element in regards to her current life situation, but that is the point.

At the end of the episode Reggie Love is mistreating and getting angry with Melissa in the diner, which is a thing he'd been doing all episode. Leon, who's spent the entire episode trying to cheer her up and being thwarted by that mistreatment, gets fed up with Reggie after he backtalks and immediately reaches under the counter, pulls out a .44 magnum, and blasts Reggie Love full-on who falls into the tables in the middle of the diner dead. At this point he slowly sets the gun down, calls the cops on himself, and offers Melissa some coffee. She then runs away. Best scene in the show.

Also given how David Simon has now used the "I just shot a nigga, come pick him up" line in 2 shows now, there's a pretty strong chance this is a thing someone has actually done and said for real and he learned it somewhere during his time as a reporter or working with ex-cops for shows.
