Brother Mouzone and Omar Confrontation:

I see he's (Michael K. Williams) in
Boardwalk Empire now.

What an original!!

[Duer 157099]

1. Yeah, he was the best

His role in Boardwalk Empire doesn't even compare, it just makes me realize how awesome Omar was.

But then, I LOVED The Wire and just about everybody in it.

3. I just finished watching Season 3.

Guess what I'M doing this weekend!

[Duer 157099]

6. Let's see, which was season 3?

Although I loved all of the seasons, I loved some more than others.

[PassingFair]

8. Season 3 was about city politics....Hamsterdam....

2. My favorite character on the show.

I actually met David Simon recently. He signed my copy of "The Corner" and I got a pic with him.

4. You know, The Wire reminds me of a Dicken's novel.

People's lives intertwining and
social crusading.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Actually, a 5th-season episode is called "The Dickensian Aspect."

[msanthrope]

7. Yes. Plenty of people are. It's why "Omar" is a very popular child's name amongst

my clients....

So is "Stringer."

9. Ran across this in a client's office this week:

I'd like to know how he got that scar...

[MilesColtrane]

10. He was hanging with friends on his birthday.

Some punks hassled them.

One of them pulled a razor and sliced him.

[PassingFair]

14. Sliced him up BAD!

Just saw the "full frontal" episode....
a companion scar runs across his chest!

Ouch!

[RZM]

11. Obama has stated Omar is his favorite character on the show

He really is one of TV's greatest characters of all-time.

[PassingFair]

15. I wish Obama would start ACTING a little like Omar.

Guess Obama's gang only pulls out the guns on
Progressive corners.

[slay]

12. Look out everybody - Here comes Omar!!

[fishwax]

13. yeah, he's great -- as is just about everything on that show

:bounce:

[one_voice]

16. He was my favorite character from The Wire.

I loved that show, one of the best shows on tv. Hated when it ended. I've watched every season at least twice.

[PassingFair]

18. I started watching it because it this news item...."Mayor of Reykjavik"

snip> "The best part of all is that Gnarr "needed a coalition partner, but ruled out any party whose members had not seen all five seasons of 'The Wire'." <unsnip

I'm bucking for a position in his cabinet!

[SteppingRazor]

17. Oh, indeed.
