[@chillbest14]

​@@asdghhjkkwoowriso you think Marlo took over the streets again?

[@DevinJones-tc6cw]

​@@chillbest14 Right...cause he definitely didn't. Marlo's ending has him technically winning but also not from his standpoint since he's forced into a very early retirement and doesn't really achieve what only matters to his character. He got what almost any other Kingpin would have wanted but for someone like him it's going to be his personal hell. I don't think Marlo is stupid enough to go back to the streets (he's evil but he's clearly not an idiot) but he's certainly going to miss the lifestyle. He has no reason to not take Levy's warning and advice seriously.

[@karabomasibi2331]

"At least , in the end the one consolation we have, is that Bubbles made it out of the basement" . That brought a tear to me eye, because as much as in the grand scheme of things this means nothing, to Bubbles (and us) it is everything. I think it speaks to how we can't change the system but small personal , individual change is something we can hope for. Bunny Colvin might not have changed how the police department does things but he got Carver to change his whole outlook, its not much but at the same time, it is EVERYTHING.

[@eddsworldlover]

I'd say if u look at a few characters from where they started the show and where they ended it, you can find a few winners: Daniels left the force after getting promoted a few times with his dignity + a nice pension and he's literally a lawyer w a judge gf. Rhonda starts as a new lawyer who's desperate for someone to love her, and ends the show a judge and dating Daniels who seems to treat her v well. Namond goes from a kid w one parent in prison forever and another parent desperately tryna make him follow the same path and ends the show adopted by one of the most respectable characters in the entire show in Bunny + being given a chance to make a real (legit) life for himself and have a real future. Slim Charles goes from a guy w a lil bit of authority, but still subservient to others like Stringer to taking their place. Carcetti goes from a small time councilman in Baltimore to becoming mayor and then governor. Yeah, McNulty loses his job that he loves but he ends up becoming a better man who's basically stopped being self destructive and as many characters say, "an asshole". That's just off the top of my head.

​@@jabread8907i love true detective s 3 seasons a lot (season 1 above even full shows like sopranos, or breaking bad, that very one season s that great), but Rust or Purple Hays aint Lester Freamon!!! Lester tracked Avon, Clay Davis, he almost gets on them Greek s necks, and got Marlo on bars. He even sold wire tapped cell phones to Brianna. The Wire s the best TV show there is. New Jersey or Albuquerque aint that allowed to breath on Sopranos or Breaking bad as Louisiana and Baltimore do on Wire and True Detective. So much of Rusts philosophy come full circle on season 3, when Hays s wife talks about a story that self heals itself. But on the Wire, the concept of the Game and how it's depicted through them institutions is a whole lotta more gargantuan animal than the concept of time in true detective. Comparable? Yes...

The people on the street didn't win, other than Bubbles, and you could probably make a case for Poot as well.

McNulty wins- gets demoted but finally has a stable relationship and stops becoming self destructive Daniels wins- doent stay commissioner but is probably better-paid at the end of the show than the beginning, plus is in a good relationship with Pearlman who is making bank Pearlman wins- making bank as a judge and is with Daniels Carcetti wins- goes from Baltimore city council to governor of Maryland. He had to compromise a lot along the way but he's in a better position to make a difference now than he was before Valchek wins- he's a hack the whole show but keeps his head down at the right times and becomes commissioner Prez wins- objectively speaking had a horrible career as a cop but lands on his feet as a teacher and is making a difference. Plus seems to have a good relationship Slim wins- you can argue he's destined to lose in some way in the future but he's objectively more powerful at the end of the show than the beginning by virtue of buying Marlo's access to the greek supply Carver wins- gets promoted to lieutenant (i think) Herc wins- sells out to Levy but none of his cop friends know, plus gets paid well for it

I've since watched it a number of times and it really is the best show, and best condemnation of American institutions and capitalism ever put to screen. The decay of the rust belt, the bleak unending Game that chews everyone up & destroys families & individuals- it's all there & it's only gotten worse. I see Bubbles doing the nod everywhere I go - the dark, shattered underbelly of the American Dream - which is called that because you have to be dreaming to believe in it.

Also people talk about capitalism and how bad it is as if there is some other system you can point to that is better some place else on earth. When shoot the only places that seem to get along and are doing well on this Earth are in northern Europe mainly because they are small and covered by NATO so they don’t have to spend much money on their military’s and can use that money to enjoy life.
