The Wire 5x09 Reaction

[@chidiumeh]

This episode is so well written. There’s a reason for the parallel between Bubbles’ one-year sobriety speech and Dukie’s farewell to Mike. Bubs reminisces about “those summer days in the park” and Dukie reminisces about “that one day summer past” when they threw piss balloons at the terrace boys. Bubbles reminisces about the sun “throwing shadows”, meanwhile Dukie says he didn’t even "throw a shadow” at the beatdown he received from the terrace boys. Superb writing and foreshadowing.

Reginald Cousins aka 'Bubbles', what a great character.

Nearly 2 decades since I first watched The Wire. There has been nothing since of comparable quality - not even close. I could list hundreds of shortcomings of shows, movies, etc., which - have won awards that The Wire never received, which don't even come close to the show. Not a single actor from The Wire was ever EVEN NOMINATED for an acting award. They never even contended for an award. Zero. And, (to date) it's the best TV show in history - Zero actors recognized. Think of that and think of all the memorable performances.

[@andrewtataj497]

It's important though. The addition of the media, in how their motivations is to sell the news rather than report it is very important in it's implications. Not just for the municipal politics of the city of Baltimore, but for everything. Wars, elections, natural disasters, civil unrest....Everything. The big takeaway I get from season 5, the media is it's own monster with it's own motives. Don't trust it any more than you'd trust the empty promises of a lying politician.

I wanted to se Milenas reaction from this and I find her already knee deep in tears.😂 Honestly, throughout the Wire, you guys have been very thereputic to me. I've beeen through some tough times lately and thus I have suppressed a lot of feelings and emotions. I've been physically unable to cry, for example. But watching you react to a series which, in my eyes at least, is one of the best and most authentic stories ever told - has allowed me to access some of these feelings again. It's been a tremendous journey, truly. I'm not too interested in what you guys are reacting to ATM, but I'll definitely stick around. Thanks! 🥲

[@codyallen43]

You two breaking down at the end of the episode just reminded me of how powerful this show is. It was so far ahead of its time nothing has come close to it in the 20 years since it aired. I think what makes it truly special is that, above all, it's not a show about police, or drugs, or dealers, or gang violence. It's about a city. It's about Baltimore. No other series, movie, or piece of media has captured the essence of a city, of its setting, like The Wire did for Baltimore. It broke it down, from the very top with the mayor down to the everyday citizen upset about the drugs being sold on their street's corner. I cant imagine anything ever overtaking The Wire as the greatest TV show of all time, and honestly one of the greatest pieces of media ever created.

[@kdizzle901]

Or it’s just a fake reaction like every reactor

[@patrickholt2270]

"Deserve ain't got nothin' to do with it" is a quote from the Clint Eastward cowboy film _Unforgiven._ They changed the wording for this episode a little bit, because they're using it to mean something a little different from how it's used in that film. Snoop means she doesn't care if the target deserves killing, which isn't the case with William Munny in Unforgiven. He does think the person deserves it, but he also believes he deserves it too, and that what's going on is just destiny, or bad luck. I think that McNulty is representing two popular American tropes - the vigilante cop who "plays by his own rules" and disobeys his superiors to "catch the bad guys", and the similarly rule-breaking "thinking outside the box" entrepreneur who is fetishised in capitalist ideology and libertarian fiction, who finds ways to do things and achieve success where others don't have the imagination or the determination. And the interesting thing the show does with those tropes in the character McNulty is show how that kind of person is actually very disfunctional and questionable, and actually gets beaten by the system, both along the way and in the end.

[@MichaelM-uw3mk]

The moment Mike tells Bug to make sure he gets something nice to wear for school, but pauses when he realizes that's the same thing Marlo's crew told him and he hates himself for it. The Wire man. Nothing better.

[@osmanyldran4363]

This goes for all The Wire fans out there: if you need confirmation to decide whether the person you're with is your soulmate, you should get them to start watching The Wire. This is the most sensitive measurement method known. You are nearing the end of a legendary drama. It was, as if everything that was happening (and even was not happening?), right next to you, not on a screen. From the first episode of Season 1 to the last episode of Season 5, everyone (all the characters) who passed by, talked right next to you and perhaps said only to you (with different emphasis on each of you) what they did not say there. An extraordinary level of dramaturgy while remaining true to such stark realism! Definitely the best one ever made.. And, of course Jimmy McNulty... No one was ever sure if he was a real protagonist (which is an element that forms one of the most critical aspects of this drama.) But I think he was the most "real" protagonist ever written.. And, "what the fuck did you do" mate?.. But whatever you did, I'm sure you did your best..

[@Hmnis93]

We own this city was a sort of sequel to this show 15 years down the line. It was pretty good with a lot of the wire cast coming back in certain roles.

[@Dare5358]

It's interesting to think of the parallels between what McNulty and Freemon did and what Bunny did with Hamsterdam. In both cases they went outside the system, broke the rules, lied. You can't say Bunny's plan didn't have negative consequences, esp for the people who lived in his free zone but did not want to move. What makes Bunny a saint in my eyes is the school program and his adopting of Namon. But in world of the Wire, I think on balance what McN and FrMn did is on par with Hamsterdam.

[@monadreher2428]

I mean Hamsterdam wasn't perfect and it developed better over time but I always respected Bunny for trying to do SOMETHING different. And while you can definitely compare Hamsterdam and the "serial killer" plan I definitely think McNulty and Freamon were far more out of pocket. But yes both cases are very interesting to think about.

Not a month from now when the legislative is history but now!" And look who came out on top out of those two scenarios smfh Ah man gotta love this show. As much as I hate Marlo that "my name is my name" scene is easily one of the highlights in the season for me. Personally made me look at his character very differently as on my first watch I didn't think too much of him at first. Jamie Hector is amazing idc what anyone says. I'm sorry you girls went through it with this episode but it's episodes like this that make The Wire standout among so many other shows or other pieces of media in general. It's a tragedy at its core and the show never strides away from that. There are some happy endings but there is still so much devastation happening underneath it all. It was so great seeing Namond striving and doing so good but then we have kids like Dukie and Michael who will very much quite possibly *never* be able to receive such an ending (let's not even talk about Randy 😞). That's life, these things happen and are *still* happening. Even though The Wire is fictional it's literally a dark reflection of our world. I enjoy a lot of shows more than The Wire (HUGE fan of BB and GoT) but for me absolutely no other show has impacted me like this show has. It opened my eyes to things even I was kind of ignorant about (namely the police and political side of things) and I'm not the only one which is one of the many beautiful things about this series. I could write a ton on Carcetti, Herc, Kima, Daniels (Lance Reddick rip 🙏 absolutely kills it in these final couple of episodes, actually the final season in general he was on it), Snoop whose death scene is oddly and brilliantly one of the series most poignant but I'm gonna end this on Bubbles. Reginald's story has come to an end and I already know you ladies are going to love the bow they put on it in the final episode. So glad yall saw it in its entirety. Even though Bubbles wasn't always connected to the main plot the show still featured him because his story still, along with him, mattered in the grand scheme of things. There will always unfortunately be darkness but that doesn't mean light is nonexistent and the fact that Bubbles, a drug addict of all people (not saying this in a disparaging manner at all btw) represents that light and manages to provide hope in a story with very little of it is just so goddamn touching and beautiful 🥹 Cutty is up there as well of course but I always see Cutty as possible change or reform, Bubbles on the other hand literally gives me hope for people. I will always advocate that Andre Royo not receiving even a freaking nomination for his performance is a crime against television. See you ladies for the final episode!

[@AlfonzoKnowsBest]

S4 just got renewed!

[@tobeornottobe5611]

[@LovensexD]

💋💋💋🫦❤️

[@josephehinger740]

[@joelimgmz]

Off topic plss watch berlin its good

[@StabbyMacStabStab]

Out of all the boys, the least deserving one got a happy ending. Life really ain't fair sometimes.

[@SutekhDaSteemroller]

Namand was a victim too. His father is a murderer and his mother is trife. They all deserve better and Namand was just lucky. Lot of the shit is just luck and opportunity

[@luciolamonica]

a new Omar, Bubbles and Clay Davis is being born! who's gonna be Day-Day? Donut? 😂

[@MichaelM-uw3mk]

It never crossed my mind that Namond is on a Clay Davis path. And it still doesn't. What a dumb thought.

[@jjjjj11278]

Marlo was never a king , he was just a conqueror.

[@rudy_4ier]

the irony of Lola's seething hatred for politicians and the career path of politicians when Namond's likely heading to a similar route as Tony Gray/Tommy Carcetti. not smart enough to realize that huh Lola? you point out that the likes of Marlo and Avon are excused from the most morally despicable because of the environment in which they are fostered, and in the very next sentence point out the environment in which politicians are fostered and inevitably morally corrupted, and totally miss your own point in that different example. astounding hypocrisy. not saying that Carcetti is excused, but that the like so Marlo cannot be either.

[@MichaelM-uw3mk]

Yes, every child who gives a speech behind a podium is going to be a Clay Davis. Amazing, astounding observation. Bravo. Especially one with such a horrible foster father like Bunny that'll let him go down that path. Truly the greatest observation of our time, Rudy.

[@EduardAkano]

Kima the snitch.

[@Iambigjones]

Y'all be letting McNulty off so light. He committed major crimes. He deserves to be in jail for a significant length of time.

[@kdizzle901]

“I don’t like that he is the one talking honestly.” That right there is the huge culture disconnect……in the States the mayor would be the one to speak on such a high level bust get over it Carcetti isn’t even bad

[@kdizzle901]

So this show goes so over ur heads with the laws it’s sad

[@beroskiwhitehead5875]

Of course know Michael is the new Omar, u know cuz uve already watched it...cmon now, reactions are fake. Doogie will end up on heroin,Marlo will escape his charges and attempt to be the new Stringer. Daniel's will be a lawyer and his DA girlfriend will be a judge...and Bubbles sister will let him upstairs for dinner....SO FAKE

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Why were you crying?!?! Nobody died in this episode. Bub went to a stable household. Crying!?!? I don't know about you girls. You are good girls, never ever mess with a street guy, handsome and all. Never Your Heart is not for it.

[@Daniel-wv7lj]

Wtf? 😂

[@copaw2]

What are you even talking about

[@hazardousjazzgasm129]

This show is a tragedy by definition, your question is absurd.

[@monadreher2428]

​@@hazardousjazzgasm129Right, this part. I'm not saying that everybody has to be as emotional as these two but to be perplexed as to why someone would be upset watching a *tragedy* is crazy 😂 People are weird.

[@BB13131313]

They cry because they become genuinely invested in a character and their arc.. it can be tears of joy or sadness..

[@wynrick1]

Loved the reaction

[@sparrow56able]

You didn't get anything from this show.....

[@sparrow56able]

Such fake reactions....

[@MichaelM-uw3mk]

Have you considered that you might just be really dumb?
