The guy you asked about in the bar was Richard Belzer. He and Clark Johnson, the actor who plays Gus Haynes, starred together in Homicide: Life on the Street. One story arc had their characters opening a bar together... a bar which looked more or less exactly like the one in that scene. It's deep-cut fan service. Here's a scene with their characters having a confrontation with Luther Mahoney, who was basically that show's Avon Barksdale, played by Eric Todd Dellums, the coroner in The Wire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiA0LZmTkQA I feel like I need a cork board with string while I'm talking about these shows. I'm just not sure where Pepe Silvia figures in.

What happened to Omar upsets me to this day, although I suppose I can’t deny that it’s in keeping with the themes of the show.

Came here to explain the bar cameo but that's already been covered. Just wanted to add a recommendation, that goes a long with The Wire. "We Own This City" is a 6 episode mini series about a real corrupt Baltimore police unit. It's from the same creators as The Wire and you'll see some familiar faces. Without any spoilers it's exceptionally well done and there's some filmmaking choices I think you'd find interesting. Even if you don't have time to do reaction vids it's still worth it as a personal watch if you want more of this world. Love the content and insight you bring.

I think Omar's death is very appropriate for the show that depicts real world violence can come from any age. Very realistic. One of the most memorable characters in television. Can't believe only two episodes left.

It only just clicked on this recent watch through that Cheese Wagstaff is Randy Wagstaff's dad. For some reason my mind never made the connection between the two of them until now.

On that body bag scene with Omar, I think that the point is that despite how legendary and almost supernatural he was in the streets and to the audience of the show it goes to show that Omar is no more important than just another guy like the rest of us. He was not only incorrectly ID'ed in the morgue, but there was also a scene with the newspaper editor earlier in the episode where the story of his murder got scrapped because there was no space for it with the Clay Davis and fake serial killer stories happening at the same time. It's very much an Ozymandias-like metaphor where your life and legacy are temporary no matter what and I think it ties beautifully to what Beadie says to McNulty about who's really gonna remember you after you're gone. Family and maybe a few friends that are basically the same as family. That's it. I also wanted to highlight a few other tie-ins that happen in these episodes. Twice in the 5x8 we get told the last name of Cheese, which is Wagstaff. If you'll remember that that's also Randy's last name, which we heard when Officer Walker stole money from him early on in season 4. We also know that Randy doesn't live with his actual family and is in the foster system. So if we put it together, you can conclude who Randy's dad actually is though the show never outright says. Very on brand that Cheese is a deadbeat dad lmao. Another is that Kenard, the short kid that shoots Omar, actually had a pretty interesting scene in season 3 that ties extremely well to him shooting Omar. It in fact happens before we properly meet Kenard as a character in season 4. It happens right as Bunk comes to the scene of the shootout where one of Omar's partners, Tosha, gets killed by friendly fire. Bunk shows up and sees kids playing pretend and re-enacting the shoot out. And who is it that has a line of "It's my turn to be Omar" but little Kenard himself! It makes me wonder a little about his motivations for killing Omar. Last thing I wanted to point out is another detail of Omar's death scene. If you watch the scene back, Kenard didn't actually get the drop on Omar in a way like he was creeping up on Omar. You can see Omar look to the door and see Kenard the whole time, but he looks back away and dismisses him as just a harmless kid. I only bring it up because this very thing was foreshadowed by another scene in season 4. When Michael first went to see Marlo to contract Chris to kill his step-dad, Omar also was up in a window scoping the Stanfield crew with his newest boyfriend. When his BF spots Michael come into the courtyard, he asks Omar who he is and Omar has the line "he's just some kid..." and walks away. Unfortunately, Omar underestimating young kids was the thing that ended up being his biggest slip up and getting him killed. (Besides beefing with and stealing from drug crews in general)

i cant believe ur doing the sopranos after. peak after peak. once u finish that you’d have watched 2 of the big 3 shows of television: The wire, the sopranos, and one piece 😀

GDC

Omar is a man who lived by his code, so once he went back on his promise to Bunk in Season Four that he wouldn't kill anymore after Bunk got him out, his fate was sealed.

I always thought the scene with the profiler outlining the person behind the killings was supposed to be ironically comical because it described McNulty to a T, and the fact that the camera was pushed in on McNulty during that scene was supposed to be a kind of revelation of McNulty confronting his own personal issues. Its hilarious because McNulty is getting dressed down without the people profiling the "killer" realizing the person behind all of this is sitting right there. Its both funny to see McNulty getting put in his place while the cops have no clue they are describing him exactly.

James Edwards

Listen... from one James to another - I'm hear to warn you. Episode 9 is one of the best episodes of TV ever. And I just rewatched it. I cried twice. Fucking brilliant TV. What a show.

Randy Bowlin

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the person singing the Season 5 intro you like so much is the actor that plays Walon, Bubbles' NA sponsor.

I hope you check out The Shield its not quite the Wire but its close.
