PostNouveau posted:Tray Chaney was putting in pretty middling work as Poot, and he's almost always paired up with J. D. Williams, who is putting on a clinic in every scene and makes Bodie one of the top 5 characters in the whole show for most viewers. Poot is basically an accessory for Bodie, only exists to be a foil and sounding board to give Bodie more to do. IIRC, Chaney had originally auditioned for WeeBay. Even though they with with Hassan Johnson, they created Poot because Chaney had impressed them so much.

I got about halfway through We Own this City before my schedule got changed and I think I only have like an episode left. It's neat to see what Colicchio has been up to, and frankly it's not really a surprise.

Oz was the first HBO show I watched, even before the Sopranos. Probably not the best thing for a 14 year old to watch but I was hooked and downloaded the entire series from KaZaa.

I listened to the 20th anniversary HBO podcast hosted by Method Man (fine but not very interesting), and I'm now listening to the Van Lathan/Jemele Hill episode reviews that The Ringer put out in 2020 (way better). I'm up to their discussion of season 1, episode 12, and it reminded me of the scene where the cops talk to Wallace's mom. It made me think a bit about the moms in The Wire, and I had to break it down into three tiers. Good moms 1.) Cheryl (???): good move in booting Kima at her worst 2.) Elena (Sean, Michael): kids seem like they're turning out pretty normal despite the McNulty of it all 3.) Rae (???): probably smart to keep her brother Bubbles separated from her child until she knew he had recovered 4.) Jen (???): if a sandwich in the VCR is as bad as it gets in the Carcetti household, she's killing it 5.) Donette (Tyrell): bad girlfriend but the kid seems like he's doing alright Iffy moms 6.) Beadie (Jack, Cary): severe deduction for inviting McNulty into the family unit 7.) Joan (Nick): Nick Sobotka turned out kinda lovely so I'm not impressed 8.) Brianna (D'Angelo): leaned on her son not to testify, but generally protective Bad moms 9.) ??? (Dukie): sold her son's school clothes 10.) Darcia (Wallace): doesn't care about her son's wellbeing 11.) Raylene: (Michael/Bug): generally pathetic, welcomes home an abuser 12.) De'Londa (Namond): blew her money on luxuries and pushed her son into harm's way when the spigot turned off to keep her lifestyle intact Arguably De'Londa should be #9 since Namond was provided for, but that wasn't through any doing of her own and she's the only one without an addiction (that we know of) to help explain her behavior. edit: not going to bother to do a dad ranking since there aren't any good dads in The Wire (there are a couple of loving dads, but that's not enough to make a good dad)

Lieutenant Daniels doing a fake Jamaican accent was one of the highlights of Oz. If anyone watches Oz though be prepared to bail as soon as it starts getting weird, I made it as far as the aging drug arc before I realized how much I was regretting spending my time watching it. It really goes off the rails and straight into the deep end in later seasons.

Do you think carver would be a good dad? I bet he’d get there eventually but I don’t think he was ready for Randy. Not that where Randy ends up would be better

Yes I think by the end of the series he could do it

Carver has a great arc. He starts out being about thumping skulls and then slowly starts to realize that the system isn't about justice and promotion favors people who play the game and don't care. He sees Bunny's experiment and is one of the few cops trying to make it work because at least someone is trying something new, if incredibly flawed. The reason he tries to foster Randy isn't because he wants Randy or to foster any kid (which can only lead to problems) but because he's trying to help someone who did the right thing, that the system betrayed. The school admin threatening Randy's foster position to get him to snitch is downright administrative evil.

I know it's may seem petty in light of the events of yesterday but I just can't get it out of my head. Frasier. You're telling me a balding white dude from Seattle gets to smash that much? And he wasn't slaying hood rats, neither. They throw mad gold statues at the Crane brothers but The Wire only won twice.
