The actress who plays Miss Anna (Randy’s foster mom) is the same actress who played the lady in season 1 when Bunk burned all his clothes. I’m sure they just re-used the actress for a different character but since she was just credited as “woman in bar” the first time I like to think it actually was Miss Anna before she started taking foster kids. Much funnier that way
Damn, never knew that! Nice pull.
Wow. I’ve rewatched this series numerous times and never caught that!
"This is the worst parenting I've seen." "The worst parenting you've seen so FAR."
I dont think its a coincidence that Breanna and Delonda are both in this episode.
The guy who brought Omar the shank in prison is played by Donny Andrews who is a former stick up kid, and one of the inspirations for Omar's character. He turned his life around after getting hooked on drugs and taking a hit job, for which he turned himself in. After he got out of prison, he became an activist working to help kids get off the streets.
Prez' arc is seriously one of the best ones in the show. Makes me tear up the way he looks out for Dukie.
It's difficult subject matter, bro, I know full well. This was life for us youngsters in the early 2000's. Young pregnant teens, young males looking up to the big homies trying to be like them, others just trying to follow the right path trying to not get caught up in the game. It was a harsh reality that a lot of us endured.
And, to get money, there WAS a “game” back then. Now groups of 100 teens ransack a Walgreens or Best Buy all at once. At least in the old days, even the criminals worked. I know, sounds bad. But at least they used to earn money selling something, at the very least, that someone else wanted.
BMF series is another one of The Wires offspring. And it has some star Wire actors in it. Feels gd to see the living actors together again. Fyi "Moolies" is the N word in Italian slang
Elie playing "Not Like Us" after the election...I love it
“Thir-deen” episodes. Lol that Aussie accent is the best 😂
"I don't give a shit, I don't even vote." The actor who plays Detective Norris was the real life Baltimore Police Commissioner for a few years. He was later convicted for fraud (I think) and isn't eligible to vote. :) Also, Cutty is trying to relate to Mike by telling him how much he likes women. Btw, "moolies" is a racist term for black people.
I never knew what moolies meant until i watched the sopranos
Everything the kids are going through. I love how uncomfortable it makes you...and that's the point. Unfortunately it's a reality here and The Wire captured it beautifully/horrifically
Elie follow the storyline episodes this and the last. She didn't get dragged in the BOYS BATHROOM. She made the choice, when they came out she wasn't crying, angry, sad, nothing. It wasn't till after Namond put her business out in the hallway.
Namond's mother is one of the worst people in the whole show and that's saying something. Turns out thought the actress playing her is a sweetheart in real life. Also, the guy that Butchie sent, with the knife, is the real life inspiration for Omar.
In the cell...Omar v real Omar RIP Donnie💜
1 - it's "Sydnor" not Syndor. 2 - I think Brianna is being vaguely honest. They could support Namond's mom longer, but why bother? There isn't new money coming in regardless.
Man I hate this situation. She went in the bathroom with two boys willingly but now that she’s labeled as the h** of the school she lies on them saying she was raped. The whole situation was wrong since they’re all kids anyways but I hate when people get stuff pinned on them and sent to jail because that one person is salty or something didn’t go they way.
Namond’s mom must like the Celtics…”another one of those Jrue Holidays”
my man went wild when Carcetti won lol
You had just as much FUN as I had when I first watch this episode, most viewers didn’t like the election storyline but I really enjoyed watching it personally, but now I’m ready to see your reaction to what Tommy’s going to do now
Norris was a real cop. He did time after the show for stealing from the city. hehehe
Norris is the former Baltimore police commissioner.
It's all in the game -Tommy
Now, where have we heard that before?
Oh, indeed.
So the song by Curtis Mayfield "Move on Up" (the sample on touch the sky) is actually a song celebrating the civil rights act/black people gaining the right to vote; so it's song about the franchising of votes playing over a felon who's serving his community but has his rights restricted due to his past- it's a strangely aspirational moment that almost has viewer buying into the ideals of the democratic process.
The political plot in season 3 is good; but the 6 episode ride with Carcetti and Norman is>>>>>>
Of course there's still more to come though.
Not sure if you're black or white but it's Ironic ain't it? Now both of us (a whitey here) are quite literally being marginalized by having our voting power diluted due to illegal aliens (of any color) who cause the number of congressional seats to go up in the electoral college depending on which states they decide to illegally inhabit. (The number of seats are determined by number of people, not citizenry). It's a dang mess.
Mayor Carcetti- They not like us
People who got convicted of felonies lose the right to vote in America, which is crazy when you consider that felonies can extend to simple drug possession and how many people just take plea deals rather than fight the justice system. So Cutty, even though he's rehabilitating himself and reintegrated in society (and kudos on the show for not making him a saint despite being a person who tries to be better) doesn't get a say in the democratic process, along with a lot of poor folk who can't try and fight the system.
That’s why this is such a great show. No straight up moral authority anywhere
Top three episode of season 4 for me personally; very cathartic with Carcetti's win, I've seen reactions where people with little investment in him as a person have to catch their breath when he gets the victory call or get pulled into the scene with Terry and him showing restraint.
The opening Illustrates the political games reach and perversion of some of the churches (hence the preacher misusing Moses as an allegory to Carcetti). As you know, the show uses this motif in many city institutions.
Clay Davis gets paid no matter what.
Just wait 'til Carcetti finds out how deep he's in it, now
So funny - first you think Marlo is the supreme evil of this season and then you meet Namonds mother.
Dude, where did you get your Buffy hoodie?!?
Wish bro. I cannot seem to find it anymore ive been looking to get u a link. I bought it 2 years ago with a yellow one.
@@eliemoses if I have any luck I’ll let you know. Keep up the good work mate! Loving the channel
@exar1806 thank youu mate 💜💜
Age of consent in the US varies by state. I believe most are 18 but some are 16/17.
Consent is regulated by state. It was 16 in MD at ths time. I was a parole & probation officer there then
Meaning that it varies from state to state, with most states it being 18, but still it varies because "muh staytze rytze!"
@@MarcillaSmithno translation warranted
@@BlackValyria "state" has a different meaning in most places outside the USA.
The Barksdale org is in tatters now, very little going on. Meanwhile Namond's mom likes to live large and play in casinos..
Tumbleweeds
slang for drugs sometimes is girl for coke or boy for heroin. but mostly coke was sold by the color of the lids on the vials blue tops or red tops yellow tops etc. heroin would have a name, like mike tyson, killer bee, or whatever. also china white, or dragon
"China White" is what we called phen tan ill back in the 90's, although it ain't like it's regulated, so they can change. "White girl" is classic for koh cane.
Elie your usually sharp, Marlo pick that lady at random. He just wanted the police to show themselves. Now he knows it's Law Enforcement but he don't know if it's City State or Feds. Come on Man!🤨
Im trying to tell you, Namond mother is the Devil, Dragonlady!
👍🏿?
Hello, there !
What happened with the girl and tbe 2 boys is simple. It wasn't rape or sexual assault. This depends on the state but in general the age of consent is from 16 to 18 years old. But a important factor is if your state has a Romeo and Juliette which states that its legal for 16 only with a age difference of 2-4 years. One of the problems of tougher age of consent laws was the fact that if you are 17 dating a 17 year old and you turn 18. You could be charged with statutory rape even tho you are only days or months older then the girl. There was alot of cases where people mostly teenage boys where getting charged and had to be registered as a sex offended for sleeping with their 17 year old girlfriend.
The laws in america are fucked up because not all states have the same laws or interpretations of the law.
But the situation in this episode wouldn't fall under any age of consent laws. They are all under age so that doesn't apply. The reason why they are even investigating this is because the girl claimed it was rape.
This has happened to someone i knew. Sometimes you have naive girls who will unfortunately do thinks like this girl did because she thinks this will make the guy she likes be with her.
Where the boys fucked up was trying to act like they were better then her and putting her on blast.
Befoe i say this let me be clear. Im not saying sexual assault and rape isnt real. But this just wasn't what happened. She probably didn't want to have sex with the other guy but she did go through with it and you saw that she was happy enough to greet the one dude
@@tidepride86 eh I disagree. Not in theory but in practice. Especially when it comes to age of consent laws.
@@DODIRTT you think the federal government should have the authority to tell states how to govern their own citizens? Geeze buddy you might be living in the wrong country lol. I don't want to live in that kinda country.. ESPECIALLY after the whole covid debacle and all the "mandatory" lockdowns lol (that we never abided by down here in Alabama bc our governor said to hell with that).
And g n rights? Kiss those goodbye if you give the feds all the power. Once you lose those you lose everything else. Ppl just aren't educated on how America is supposed to be governed (it's supposed to be governed extremely minimally) but ppl aren't taught this in schools. Especially public schools. Our federal government needs to be shrank by about 80%. They stole about 16 grand from me last yr in taxes..... I might as well of just tossed it in a woodchipper.
But we're gonna disagree bc we have two fundamentally different views on what America is supposed to be.
@@DODIRTT lol it's impossible to have a "how I think America should be governed" on UA-cam.....lol my comment keeps getting removed.
I'll just keep it simple and say....Agree to disagree, I don't like being told what to do and how to live my life by crooked strangers all the way up in DC who have no idea what they're doinglol. Have a good evening bud.
@tidepride86 that is weird because I can still see it. When I click on the notification it appears. But if I click on the thread I get this comment.
All I'm going ro say is you made a mountain out of a ant hill. I'm not a republican by no means but I am pro second amendment. I own several guns myself.
The issue is we can't come to a agreement because everything is so politically loaded these days that simply me saying age of consent should be something that can be lower or higher depending on the state. This gets turned into this long ass debate about shit I'm not talking about or even implied.
Detective Norris is chaotically cynical
The actor (Edward T. Norris) was the actual police commissioner in Baltimore.
In the inner City you may not agree with it but it's a reality. If you give up information on anybody but yourself, you are a SNITCH. And Randy has been
Snitching threw out the season. What we seen before this episode was Everytime he got caught doing something to get out of trouble he'll get
Someone else in trouble by SNITCHING. He snitched on the graffiti writer, He snitched on the boys that had sex
With girl. If you watched both episodes
That wasn't no Rape. She
Wanted the Boy to like her so she made the choice to have sex with him and his boy. Then when they walked by in the hallway they ignored her like she didn't exist.
And dumb Namond said something to embarrass her. So she said she was raped.
It's a damn shame it's the way it is too.
Protecting the criminal only hurts the community and emboldens others who want to commit crimes.
Becomes a cycle. A vicious one.
@@tidepride86 it's not that simple. It's the back end to
It. Once you seem to become someone to tell to those who
It was ingrained in for years
They don't have minorites best interest at Heart. A Reverend can be pulled out
There car and beaten. It's real. The other is what protection do they provide
People that come forward
That have to return to the same neighborhoods and
Under suspicion. From Criminals and others. It's not
Always who you think, it's not
Something that is liked by bad guys or good people.
@@BruceJohnson-om5kl I've said my piece Chrissy
Yes, Carcetti just inherited a mess of a City. With a Million problems and no Money and a lot of debt. He's in trouble 😵💫
