The Wire Season 2 Episode 6 // I'm in complete denial about Dee

[@bloatus7611]

I'd say DC and Baltimore are less scary than they were 20 years ago but also infinitely less scary than news and tv scaring the suburbs would have you believe. Of course I'd have to admit my bias having lived in DC both now and 20 years ago. Though I was a kid then. I'd say it's an outright lovely city to live and I can't wait to see it thrive a bit more. On the episode though, I know you're further along so I'll say it's so easy to be frustrated with Ziggy in this moment but upon rewatch i think that's what made his character so great. Also glad to see you've passed 5K!

You're right. Dc is not that bad today. It was in the 80s but it's gentrified now. I have no problem going on any neighborhood in DC.

Finally! The wire..is back

[@jewunit347]

man I love your reactions! I can't wait for next months episode, the aftermath of Dee's untimely end

[@BennyBlancoNL]

😅

[@davidevans3175]

No problem being sick, it's fun to watch you watch. I've seen every season five times so I know what's next. But I won't say a thing! Looking forward to next episode - can we make it a bit sooner this time? Feel better Jan!!

[@Mr704kiam]

I love watching people watch the wire cause everyone see something different

[@kezabfz]

Danke!

[@janandduke4216]

Thank you so much!

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

We miss you Jan, don't be a stranger 😘

4:46 It's a fine line though, if you do that sort of thing too much the judge will penalize you for it. It could result in a mistrial, a dismissal of charges or even potentially the lawyer being disbarred. Something like this happened famously in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial where the prosecutor tried to use the defense's invocation of the fifth amendment (remaining silent) to imply guilt (something which many people infer but you're not supposed to.) Defense objected and the judge absolutely laid into the prosecutor for it. Judges aren't stupid, they know all the games lawyers try to play.

its so funny to think about "two british men talking- word on the street iiis" .... Dee has such a forshadowy day - with talking about getting real with the story or the past gonna catch up with you and a last look at his son and a last talk with his mother and a last "I need to do this alone" to Avon and a decision to quit drugs... he really was ready for the prologue of his life to end (All Prologue - title of the episode) ...

[@notthestatusquo7683]

1:20 "Robbing drug dealers" isn't a crime, a specific instance of robbery committed against a specific drug dealer is. He can admit to it because the police/DA don't have any particular crime to charge him with. It's not a great idea to admit it because a statement made under oath could be used in another court case so if he ever is brought up on charges for a specific crime it might hurt him, but for a guy like Omar, I think that's really the least of his worries. But just because he admitted to being a robber doesn't mean the DA can argue in court that he's guilty of any particular robbery. If it ever did come up, it would probably be used as impeachment against him as a witness. A jury is less likely to believe someone who is a criminal.

Sorry you weren't feeling well. I assume you filmed this a while ago, so you're over it by now (I hope). Omar didn't admit to a specific crime. To go to jail, they'd have to prove that he committed particular acts. Just saying "I'm a criminal" isn't enough. And, as you saw, the prosecutor was inclined to forgive him in exchange for his testimony against Bird. "Just like you, man." - Omar calling out Levy is one of my favorite moments of the series. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say that what happened to Dee has consequences for many episodes to come.

Why on earth does a realtor have a mannequin with the same jacket as the realtor, but no pants on 😅 Never thought about that detail there.

[@johncommando1641]

Reaction/commentary suggestion: The Corner. Most of it is on KZbin for free. Very similar to The Wire, set in Baltimore with some characters being on both shows, but it's a miniseries. It's by HBO as well. Some say it's a prequel to The Wire. It isn't, but you can see why someone would say that by watching it.

[@charleyMD17]

Omar on the stand is one of my favorites bits from the show. He is cool.

[@Tey816]

In hindsight, season 2 was not as bad as many claimed it to be. It has a lot of memorable scenes and character progression, however Ziggy. Man, oh man! That guy sucks lol but I love this show and I’m glad you have been enjoying it as well.

[@Mr704kiam]

I hope you enjoy the wire and catch all the Easter eggs this is the best show ever all the pieces matters

[@BennyBlancoNL]

Kill the fire within. That is really hard to do and once you do that , its even harder to get it back on. ✌🏾

[@calebkeane7605]

You’re one beautiful KZbinr!

[@neilbiggs1353]

If you want to console yourself, watch Friday Night Lights, season 5 features 'Dee' and 'Wallace' in an episode so you can pretend that they both went in to Witness Protection in Texas...

[@mo2k638]

You didn’t see stringer hand the money to the guy in the car, stringer paid for d’angelo to get k*lled because he was gonna snitch Avon doesn’t know about it or had anything to do with it, season 3 everything will unfold won’t spoil it

[@neilbiggs1353]

There was a BBC show, The Steeltown Murders, which partially deals with police officers carrying the guilt of failing to solve a crime. Not sure it would be good reaction content as it wasn't a hit, but maybe an interesting show if you want something to watch on your own.

[@BrianCGimmicks2025]

Can't trust it. Doesn't reflect me. What so ever. Trust who people tell you they are. Always the same. 🎉 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢

ONYX

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

You are starting to miss a lot of content. I'm not sure how because Enright is shown and discussed. You should know who had dee killed if you paid attention

“your father’s buckin on us lil man. how bout that?”
