What I like about this scene is the contrast with the first three seasons. In the Barkesdale storyline, the dealers have fancy clubs and front organisations to cover their tracks. They have family and a culture. By the end of the series, the Game isn't about being hard, or having a code, or honor, or any of that. It's not a part of the community or a way out of poverty and into a glamorous lifestyle. It's not about being smarter and more cunning. It's just blank-faced psychopaths sitting in a concrete wasteland, ordering people dead with a nod of the head for next to no reason. Even the music is different. It's empty violence now, the end point of the arms race between drug dealers.

This is one of those Slim Charles moments that you can’t figure out if he’s being honorable or being tactically wise by telling Bodie about Lil Kev being killed by Marlo.

[@romulus_]

I think it was out of friendship and respect, and to give him warning that marlo isn't playing around. bodie was all but ready to die at that point though. wish he had gotten that marlin fishing trip, but that ain't in the game.

[@prisoner1990]

Little Kevin killed himself in this situation. 1. He should've just stuck to the objective that was given to him. He should've told Lex to go to the playground and kept Randy out of it. At that point he got someone extra involved that didn't need to be, especially not a kid like Randy. Then to make matters worse, Kevin went and pretty much told Randy what happened to Lex. 2. Kevin comes back on the block playing innocent to Bodie like the only reason he got picked up was for lying about his name. Going off what he gets told, Bodie DOES NOT give Kevin bad advice. Bodie's just telling Kevin for as long as you've been missing, Marlo will think something's up so plead your case before they come looking for you. 3. Last but not least, the finale in Kevin's fuck-ups is he switched his story. He snitched on Randy to protect his own skin, but in doing so he also showed that he didn't follow instructions given. He should've said exactly what he said to Bodie and left it there. Instead he points the finger at Randy, exposes both of them and ends up dead. If only Bodie knew the true reason why he got taken out...

​@@DavidLLambertmobile That's how those conversations would go in real life. "Real" actors would have over-performed the scene. That's why I can't take stuff like breaking bad seriously. Yea it's an entertaining show, but in the real world, Walt would have got packed up real quick. Just a lot of over the top extra Hollywood shit in a lot of crime dramas where the Wire kept it as esoteric and authentic as possible. You can even hear and see in Kev's voice and actions talking to Bodie the skepticism on if Bodie is making the right call with his advice. The look on his face in the trunk. Just chilling. It's like you could be watching that from your window

[@BB-zd2sf]

@chorseundrgrd and in the real world Marlo would've got "packed up" even quicker. There was nothing remotely "authentic" about Marlo going over Prop Joe's head to the Greeks nor him outlasting everyone else. In the real world he would've gotten killed or sent to prison.

djwestbrook36 why did it happen?

[@jaspersdeblin4158]

Hennything is possible he was suppose to deliver the message to Lex himself “to meet Lex GF at the park” instead he told Randy to do it. Randy told Lex, and after Lex was killed Kevin is seen telling Randy that Lex ain’t coming back out of the Ally because Chris and Snoop gave him a visit or something of that nature. The second he said that he done fucked up. Randy is a teen w/ a big mouth and starts talking not in a intentional way, but just saying what Kevin said, which is why Randy gets marked as a snitch. Lex was Bodie friend, so Lil Kev did betrayed Bodie, and Lex because he never told Bodie that he was the one who did it, or attempt to set it up. lol Kev had a good relationship w/ Marlo, Bodie was force to work for Marlo, and he came to terms with it, even when Bodie gets killed he was still working on Marlo Corner. At the end of the day Kev got his ass dealt with for not doing what he was told, and having a big mouth.

[@mattwell7236]

Jaspers Deblin "Lil Kev had a good relationship w/ Marlo." Ummm I don't think Marlo even knew Little Kevin existed until that day he came down there. He was just some young kid working for Bodie. Bodie was forced to take Marlos package knowing he'd be murdered if he didn't which was inferior to the package he had been getting from Prop Joe.

[@bobhollywood6292]

Jaspers Deblin what are you talking about? After Bodie got killed, who was working on the corner? Both Kevin and Lex obviously died before Bodie.

DJ Devinstation I know he should’ve just told lex himself and left randy out of it. Randy knew about it, and began telling the principal all this stuff because he was afraid of what would happen. But you know who really fucked up? HERC during the interrogation Little Kevin mentions randy and Herc makes a face like he knows who he is talking about and tries to play it off so it falls on Kevin to realize randy snitched, so when he talks to Marlo he tells him that Randy snitch but that also causes problems because it wasn’t randy job to do that and now a kid got cops looking for a murderer

[@slackalot9901]

It's bad advice. In the game if you get 320'd, the last you would do is run back to your captain and say you didn't rat. If you get picked up, you already know they know. When you get back, continue the game like you never left.
