Wood Harris with some iconic lines from " I'm just a ganster i suppose" to " he a man today". This is his best work in any role I do believe. Omar dripping spit on himself after Bunk humbles him is one hell of an end to that strong scene.

Kevin L

Daniels is surely gonna be livid, knowing that McNulty must have gone behind his back to Colvin... But it seems that the detail really would be more useful with this different focus, right? Now that there are more bodies tied directly to Barksdale turf wars. I mean, the brass might have pushed it that way at some point anyway.

Jeremy Hicks

Bunk basically told Omar the same thing Levy did in court last season. Both characters were right, but it hits a lot differently coming from Bunk.

MrRuss50

They go out of their way to show how loyal a guy Daniels is and then McNulty does what he does. Ouch people mostly are who they are. Except Cutty who seems to really want to change.

I love Cutty's arc so much.

What I like about the Omar-Bunk conversation is that they're both right on some level. It's lost in the brilliance of Bunk dismantling the idea of Omar being some kind of hero, but the point about Bunk's own institution not giving a fuck about the death of someone like Tosha is 100% true. Bunk's boss literally says that she's "dead in a zip code that does not fucking matter", and diverts him to the oh-so-crucial mission to find Dozerman's gun instead. On the other hand, it's a bit rich coming from Omar who uses the same logic to justify his own murderous behaviour. I think he's a very entertaining character and Michael K did a phenomenal job playing him, but I've never been all that comfortable with the way people lionise him for "having a code", when he essentially values people in "the game" the same way the cops do. The kid he shot in the leg in Season 1 isn't some cold-blooded killer like Wee-Bey or kingpin like Avon, and I'm sure that goes for most of the low-level dealers he enacts his violence against. He is absolutely part of the problem, even if a representative of the BPD might not be the ideal messenger for that argument.

I'm not defending McNulty at all here - he's an ungrateful, self-absorbed dickhead who isn't even chasing Stringer for any reason other than his own inflated ego - but there is an interesting point to be made about how Daniels is now running Major Crimes. As he mentioned in a earlier episode, "the department is in reactive mode trying to bring the murder rate down", and Daniels has them passing his unit around to wherever the bosses' fancy takes them. Like Kevin said, even without McNulty's intervention, it's likely they would had to shift focus yet again once the Barksdale-Stanfield war started to ratchet up. Yet Daniels is trying sell this to McNulty and Greggs as if it's all part of his master plan to chase whichever gang has the attention of Burrell and Rawls this month. I think this is an example of what Freamon meant in his argument with McNulty when he said Daniels "plays some games to get by". He gets kudos from the higher-ups and burnishes his reputation, but he doesn't really have that much more control than he did in Narcotics. Of course, he basically has to take this approach or there's every chance the bosses would punish him again, and then where would they be? It's the kind of balancing act McNulty doesn't have to worry about while he's directing his "fuck the bosses" slogan towards the man who rescued his career.

Such a good scene. I love how you come away from it really knowing where each man stands in this godawful mess.

You can see similarities between Avon and D’Angelo in that season 1 scene where D tries to go out to dinner and feels like a fraud. The biggest wins in Avons world is having the most territory or the fiercest reputation. The money is secondary because how ever much money he has Avon would never feel comfortable in the non criminal world.

I completely agree, with the war blowing up between Barksdale and Marlo, it might have been a moot point. Maybe McNulty should have just stood back, followed the chain of command, and the case would have come to them naturally. But, of course, not making waves is precisely part of why the BPD is in the shape it is in on the show in the first place. It's wonderfully complicated.

Youtalkingtome

It does. Omar was right about Levy: they're both getting paid playing the same game. But Bunk is about bigger and better things. Omar couldn't make that argument against Bunk.

Youtalkingtome

Yeah, as disloyal as McNulty is, Kima is going to get a free pass for manipulating Jimmy to take this self-destructive step.

Youtalkingtome
>>169798181

So do I. What a dynamic character. I hope they find a way to keep him on the show somehow now that he is out of the game.

Jonathan

I know at least some of the nasty punishments they enacted on the people who didn’t move were based on real events. I know a few times people got dumped in the woods when in reality they were less than a mile from public transportation to get home, but it took them a while to realize that.

Youtalkingtome

Yeah, both characters are right here. Omar is living by a BS set of rules that make him palatable to people outside the drug world, and Bunk is working for a very broken organization in the BPD. And, per their conversation, it seems unlikely that there will be any justice for the people hurt and killed in this investigation.

Roland

Harris plays a different kind of drug gangster in the Dredd movie, he's excellent in that as well of course.

Jeremy Hicks

I forgot how gross Kima's behavior was this season. Almost wish they had killed her off in season 1 so we wouldn't have to see this side of her.

Jeremy Hicks
>>169851854

Oh I love the actor. Just feel like the writers had trouble with her character after her season 1 arc.

It is. Great show, for sure, but it seemed like every episode there was some fresh, new horror to witness. LOL That show was the first time I ever saw JK Simmons in anything. He was absolutely terrifying.

Robert Bauman

Omar and Bunk is one of the better scenes in the show. One of the only times you ever see Omar uncomfortable, probably because he knows on some level what Bunk is saying is true, and that truth hurts and cuts through the facade a little. An interesting contrast/dose of reality since he's generally a "likeable" character (as far as this show goes). Not to spoil, but the Clay Davis long drawn-out "Sheeeeeeeeettt" will be heard again. Something to look forward to haha
