The Wire Season 2 Episode 10 // Reaction and Commentary

[@iamkublai4021]

I always enjoy watching the wire with new fans of it. I’ve seen this series at least six times front to back lol love it.

The way Brother Mouzone dresses suggests that he's a member of the Black Muslims, AKA The Nation of Islam. That's what Cheese meant when he asked, "You with the Nation, homie?" and "Either you a Muslim, or your momma need to stop layin' your clothes out in the mornin''." Members of the NOI always wear suits and bow ties. And Brother Mouzone's glasses look very similar to the ones that Malcolm X wore. The NOI can be a scary organization, though I don't think they'd be involved in dealing drugs, or protecting the interests of a drug kingpin. Mouzone, if he was a Black Muslim, was probably acting independently. But his look, with the suit and tie, wouldn't have gotten him far with the police. They'd recognize the uniform, and wouldn't take it as a sign of respectability. The police, if they knew about him, would probably worry that another potentially violent organization was involved.

I think a lot of what season 2 has to say about Ziggy is that he is a much better person than Nick. But because Nick belongs where he is and Ziggy doesn't, when you watch the season you naturally come to side with Nick and sympathize with his struggle, whereas Ziggy gets under the viewer's nerve and gets criticism from the audience. There are even things that people will never notice, like how Ziggy buying a coat as soon as he makes illegal money is evidence that he is a moron, but as soon as Nick makes his money from the chemical deal he buys a big-ass truck that he shouldn't be able to afford, and not a word is said about that. I think that it's a very interesting writing choice, and not many shows have done something like this.

Wouldn’t say he’s a “much better person” even an idiot knows what feeding a duck alcohol will do

[@monadreher2428]

Very good comment and agreed about the audiences natural tendency to like Nick and to dislike Ziggy. That's why the writing for this show will forever be goated. Now with rewatches and more context to the characters/story Nick is actually the Sobotka I like the least. Ziggy for as annoying and easy to hate as he is at least he's not a hypocrite. Although not too sure on Ziggy being a much better person than Nick. They're both equally complex characters.

[@MiikeJone]

Exactly what I thought.

[@janandduke4216]

This is the first time i see it from this perspective and i think you're right. I felt both frustrated and sympathetic towards Ziggy but couldn't pinpoint the problem. Realizing how he didn't fit in because he wasn't meant to be there fits so so well. I think his frustration comes from this too, throughout the season we see him try so hard to fit the mold he's supposed to be but fail each time. Honestly this makes his story that much more tragic. 10/10 writing. Thank you for your input!

In the Black Neighborhood we all know The Nation of Islam ☪️. There part of the black community and even though controversial have the community best interests. Brother Mouzone is called a Fruit of Islam the disciplinary part of the religious group, security forces, mind body and spirit( clean body clean mind) very military. You can see that in his character.

Ziggy gave the witness the envelope of money after feeling bad. The kid had absolutely nothing to do with it.

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Kima didn’t ask for this, her girlfriend is forcing theses changes on her. Kima is the male in this relationship, and she was attracted to her as is in the beginning then once they were together, she trying to force Kima to be something else. Kima is POLICE! Kima wants a girlfriend to come home to and cuddle on the couch and hold each other like the beginning. The women is living in her head like Kima is the daddy and she’s cool with this. Body language tells you everything, I always pay attention to the signs in my wife that why we’ve been married for 12 years.

[@Cbricklyne]

LOL! She feels bummed about the fact that there's nasty politics in the police system. I wonder how she's gonna feel about Seasons 4 and 5. The school system and the Press.
