The Wire, S04E13- Final Grades (Patreon)

Hello, wonderful Patrons! I can't believe that we're already covering the finale of Season 4 of The Wire. Time has flown, it's crazy. Between this and moving into the 5th Harry Potter book, I'm just blown away by how quickly we've been covering stuff. 

I thought this was a great episode of television, but damn if it's not the most depressing thing I have seen in a long time. There is probably an episode of The Sopranos that could give it a run for its money, but most other TV out there couldn't hold a candle to the bleak reality of this show. 

I'm super glad that the spoiler I got wasn't a crucial part of the show, and that it turns out that Bubbles is okay (at least physically). But the end of his storyline was still so heartbreaking that it's hard to think he's actually better off. I don't know what's going to happen to him but I'm afraid there's no helping someone who's that far gone. I hope next season we see him with a slightly better outlook. 

And Bodie. Oh. man. I'm so bummed. I loved Bodie so much, especially because of the fact that he was one of the only originals left, and because he'd come such a long way. He used to be a short-sighted dickhead, and he really matured into someone who had control over his emotions and would master his impulses in favor of the big picture. I am shocked that he was killed so quickly, and I am really, REALLY going to miss him. 

I hope you enjoy the episode, and I will see you in a few hours with the next 3 chapters of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix!
