George Washington Carver

I totally agree with you. The scope moving from effect to cause allows Simon to touch on many of the issues regarding to the drug trade/justice departments. Do you think that "The War On Drugs" may have been the motif in deciding where to move the series?

Do you ever think of who might be polar-corresponding characters? Is there a term for that? The obvious match up is Herc & Carver with Bodie & Poot. Each pair looks at the game from the bottom up and don't put themselves to scheming or climbing. Both a pair of bald soldiers do the dirty work for the men above. Not always understanding the means, but tirelessly providing it.

Man, fucking McNulty. Cj told me that she didn't find McNulty entirely believable, nd I kind of see what she means. He is staggeringly self-absorbed to a point where it comes off as forced. Like in season 3 when can't tolerate them coming of Stringer Bell, even after more than a year of dead ends and dead wires. The character just seems too extreme to be real.

I think just a look a Daniels would tie in to the thought of effect to cause well.
I'm going to have come back at you with at why though.

Some key new terminology I am going to have to look in to:
Gash Hound. As in Tommy "The Gash Hound" Carcetti.
Dress to the Left. I heard Rhonda say that to Daniels while he was flirting with her in her office and I needed to find out what it meant.
Dress Left For Success


There is also a scene where Bunk get stuck worker the case to find Dozer's lost service weapon and he is in the office talking to..Jay I think. The only lead he has is that someone named peanut had bought it on the street. So he is looking through a list of Peanuts and Jay is jeering him about finding it and he's all "What do I look like George Washington Carver or some shit?"
I laughed out loud.
