So many questions, so little answers! Why did Hurley get off the island when he was totally like, “naw dawg, I be wif Locke son”; why didn’t Naomi cut Kate so we can be like “YES! finally”; why didn’t Manu Ginobili get an All-Star spot? And Holy Television Actors, Batman! IT’S LT. Deputy Commissioner DANIELS!
Chain of Command Hugo.
It’s all so obvious now. The Monster is Snoop and Jacob is the drug trade.
Through The Wire: Ep. 2, Where Car Pranks Are Fun! January 13, 2008

Hey Wire-Less, ha ha! Get it? Woo me! But yeah, another solid episode. That’s the way to do it Jimmy! Hobos have had the benefit of the doubt for far too long. Other, bullet form quick pick ups
• Separated at birth: WWE Mick Foley and the NA sponsor guy Walon
• Love the call back of oldy but goody quotes: “the game is rigged”, “giving a fuck when it’s not your turn to give a fuck”
• You know, I’ve read that David Simon put in that bit about the EIC at the Sun saying he wants to depict a “Dickensian” life as a jab at himself (because a lot of reviews of season 4 used the old white guy as comparison as well) But I gotta say, I zipped through S4 before even reading a single review and came to the same exact “Dickensian” thought… hell, even the seasons before that it was evident… What I’m trying to say is… I think I’m all that. BOOYA.
• Hah, this line: “I think you need context to seriously examine anything…” comes especially poignant given the recent US democratic campaign controversies surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton’s quotes taken out of context
• OK, is it just me, but how can Marlo still be THE king of the corners when he can’t intimidate anyone for over a year? I’d think his business would’ve taken a beating because of the heavy surveillance
• Finally, is Bubbs in the 8th level of hell of scrubbing pots or something?

So, the season premiere of the final season of The Wire huh? Awesome. That’s really all I wanted to put out there. Nothing in-depth analysis here, I’m sure you know where to look for them (I think it’s practically a given that anyone that writes about the show treats it with a high degree of inspection). Mainly just wanted to do the point thingys as a way to jot down my brain crack:
• McNulty’s on the sauce again. That’s our boy! JIM-MEY!
• Chris is so inconspicuous he can sneak up on a ninja
• Hey Marlo, can you speak a little louder? I think that’s the reason why the East side boys are so pissed at you. Tone brother
• Reginald?
• Carver and Herc eh? How far you’ve both come… while not really
• Random Wire relations: Caught the trailer for a probably bad movie and heard a familiar voice as the FBI agent before the character even shows up. Half Nelson, starring the entire season 4 actors… at first you’d think it was one of those amazing stories about two lost souls fighting for a chance to find their way… but it just felt like… blop. Yeah, that’s right. Blop.
• I secretly love 236’s rundown … as it sorta was how I first “felt” about the very first episode of Wire but for me, I settled in on the 25th minute
Christ, now some guys who are totally different guys from any of the other guys in this show are talking in the newsroom of a big city newspaper. I thought this was a cop show. So are these, like, cops who work at a newspaper? Not to mention there hasn’t even been a single joke since that whole Xerox machine thing
• Finally, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report retours ce soir!
Um, and uh, NBA… let’s see… Danny Granger is a monster! Or not. You tell me man, you tell me.
Man.
New Year Resolutions December 28, 2007

Resolutions are stupid. No one changes, ever. Tell ‘em Jet! And I’m not just projecting Mr. Oh-Look-At-Me-And-My-Psychology-Degree. But everyone makes them for pure vanity and the tiny glimmer that you’re promising yourself something. Here’s to your hope and dreams lads and lasses:
Satan Riles:
My resolution will be to admit that I can’t coach since I’ve made horrible offseason non-moves. To one up the resolution, I’ll force myself to go through a rebuilding movement by actually standing by and not “take a leave of absence”
I’ll stop reminding everyone that we won the championship just 2 years ago, when, IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS AND MANY INJURIES.
Kevin Garnett
My resolution will be to change… nothing. The way things are going right now is what’s up. That’s real talk. This is the best situation ever, no need to screw it up right?
The only test will be when we face the Spurs — then maybe I’ll fade in the fourth quarter and go un-clutch. But hey, I have two other closers on my team. No change needed. Real talk.
Harry the Hawk
My resolution will be to stop eating small children. I know, I know, I said the same thing last year, and the suits have told me adamantly that this is a no-no… but DAMN, they are delicious!
I’ll also be helping the Hawks towards a playoff push by perhaps punching the opposing team’s equipment manager in the nuts. That’ll show them who’s boss.
Marlo Stanfield
I think my resolution will be to try and stop killing so many people. But you know, it’s so hard!
I just want to be THE man and there’s no other alternative. Man, this resolution will be hard to keep. Shooting people in the face is just my thang, but I guess we all have to change. We’ll see.
Dr. House
I’M IN PAIN.
Like I’m going to give up the drugs, pffft. Look, what’s worse? Being a drug addict while saving lives, or being a DEAD drug addict and saving NO lives? Yeah.
Fine, my resolution will be to include the original cast members a little bit more lest we forget they ever existed.
Lots of snow
My resolution will be to try and come out less. I know, I’m sorry I’m sorry. The only people that like me are snowboarders and skiers and everyone in the city wants to kill me, I’m sorry.
I swear I’ll do my bestest and follow the Global Warming club and just stop. I know I’m annoying, but we can still be friends right? Like the time I made you late for work, classes and made your clothes soaking wet? Fun times!
Try to explain the West...
