And I understand I am basically talking to myself because everyone else has already watched it.
Spoiler:
I wonder if Avon is going to find out that Stringer had D killed...that could get interesting....
Also how come not one single character has had a Bmore accent. I haven't heard "Hon" once in this show. They all sound like they are from Philly or NY. Everything else on this show, specifically location settings, has been perfect. But come on man, give me some "Let's Geoo eO's!"
in the limited defense of the characters, its not exactly easy to replicate a really regional dialect like that.

Not really getting the Omar love yet, Stringer Bell has been my favorite character so far, he reminds me of Robert Duval from the Godfather.
Season 2 is very polarizing. If you're someone who develops expectations and is disappointed when they're poo'd on, you probably won't like it.
Finished season two last night. I was good with it, the whole getting the gang back together was great for those rah rah rah sort of sentiments. I like how the first two seasons have shown the guys at the top basically all getting away with it, not facing the real punishment, feels more realistic. Ziggy was such pain the butt character, sucks he took it that far, but he was such a jack***.

I will throw out my support for American Dad as well. MacFarlane doesn't really have any influence on the show, aside from the voicework, which is only one character -- probably why it's better than the other two.
Halt and Catch Fire has been good, not great. I was hoping to see more tech stuff than the idiosyncrasies of the characters, but hopefully that will come later.
The scene with McNulty and D'Angelo's mother. Man... Ouch...
We're going at like the same pace on this, i finished 7 this morning before work.
If Stringer wants to be straight, he's going to have to disassociate with Avon. That dude only knows how to fight.
There is obviously disconnect growing between those 2. While Avon was in jail Stringer ran everything on his own and even improved on it. Avon already feels like a secondary player/character. I'd be surprised if he lives past this season honestly.

Something really bad is going to happen there. I'm not sure what your talking about with mcnutty and barksdale's sister, but I assume he's going to lead the barksdales to realize that stringer arranged d'angelo's death.

Fair warning... season two drags a little bit. It's slow, but after season two things take off, so stick with it.
I actually felt the final episode of Season 1 is when its like the series gets shot out of a cannon. I pretty much had the gist of the show and actually started on that episode. I went back and watched season 1 before I started the final season tho, still thought it was really the slowest. Altho some things down the road sure ended up making sense lol

Great show. One of the best I've ever watched. Season 3 is my favorite so far.

One of my favorite moments from this season:
Spoiler:
Finding out the Colonel "putts from the rough"
Haha, yeah that was great. I personally loved every season... 2 and 5 seem to be very polarizing though. If you twisted my arm, I would say that the 4th season is my favorite, but it's hard to pick.

season 4 is the best. as time passes, the more i appreciate season 2 and the less i like season 5.
