Pouring Out a Virtual 40 for My Homey

Well, my favorite character on the Wire took a bullet to the dome this week. Knowing that the writers were hearkening back to Greek tragedies with the show, I expected he was going to go out in the final season but hoped to be proven wrong. I imagine David Simon didn't want to make a hero out of the guy either, preferring to show the harsh realities of the street. It's been three days since the episode and I still find myself thinking about it and being bummed out. That's what you call effective drama.

If you haven't seen the Wire, start with Season 1 and watch the episodes in order. You will not be disappointed.
