The Wire, S04E05- Alliances (Patreon)

I gotta admit that releasing a podcast today when Serial has done a surprise drop of their Season 2 premiere feels a little anticlimactic (and yeah it's super weird that we mentioned Serial while recording this episode and then the episode dropped the very next day), but here it is!

This episode we have some revelations happening. First off, poor Randy finds out about the bodies in the abandoned houses, which I think is going to eat away at him and eventually he's going to say something to someone. Also we have Prez starting to actually connect with his students and he's even figured out a way to enforce some discipline with them. Hey, man! You had BEST stop letting them out of detention early or nobody is gonna give a shit. 

But my personal favorite part is the whole hullabaloo surrounding the mayor. Everything from Kima getting a dressing-down from Jay, to Delegate Watkins switching sides, to Rawls going to find Carcetti in the middle of nowhere in order to shake his hand...all of it was pure gold. I am really loving Carcetti, and I hope he wins and that we get to see something actually get accomplished. *sigh*

Thanks so much for pledging, wonderful people, and I will see you soon with Hannibal!
