Do you just love when your wrong works in your favor? Enjoy the extra days.
You guys make me hehehe laugh. Great work. 
You’d be surprised, Rachel. Tenure just means you have job security. They don’t pay prof.'s too well.
Want to know how it ends?
^ Noooo!!! puts fingers in ears and tightly closes eyes I’m just getting around to season 5 on Netflix and really excited to see Clark Johnson again. Loved him on Homicide.
I have what we call a professional contract (tenure). I still get paid a great deal less then most with my education. They also still have forms to rate how well I teach. I can retire soon, but I do not think I could live on it.
Shame on you! :rolleyes:
NO!!!

I can’t HEEEEAR YOU…

Does Pike have a cameo in this show too?
He is great. He also directed some eps of The Shield, including the pilot. The Wire role is such a nice bookend to the Homicide character.
In fact, Wire #5 came out just as I’d finished watching Homicide in reruns. So it was this sudden leap from seeing him as brash young man to wise veteran.
Spoiler: The Wire leads to The Matrix. McNulty goes all Neo.
Then we learn that Omar’s first sawed-off shotgun was named Rosebud, and that Prop Joe is Keyser Soze. 
Yeah, Clark Johnson went all director-y after Homicide ended. I really missed having him in front of the camera. But I adored Bunk so much that it helped ease my Meldrick withdrawals.
Anyhoo, cool craaap–I’ve signed up for a 5K training course that starts at the end of January because I’m hoping to do the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in the spring. I will need some new running shoes, though.
Goram it, stop with the Wire jokes. I’m only five episodes in and JUST started learning some names (dear gods there are a lot of characters on this show!). If you don’t stop it, I’m going to have to stop coming by till I’m finished with the series (to which I’m now hooked. Thank you, Santa) and be stuck with 3,999 posts for some time. Yeah, that’ll show you! 
Okay, okay. We’re sorry! And you’re right; it’s a lot of characters to get to know. Especially when they don’t call each other by name a lot. I think there’s actually a flow chart on the season 2 discs of who’s with the cops, the Barksdale gang, the Stansfield crew, etc. But what really impresses me, due to the writing and the acting, is how much I love every character. I mean, I hated Prez, Herc and Carver at first because of their shenanigans at the Towers but they made me do a 180 by the end of the season.
Here’s a thing about The Wire: The dialogue is frustratingly realistic. Characters will deliver crucial plot points, mumbling, hunched over in a corner.
Omar being McNulty’s father seemed like a stretch, but once the Barksdale gang uncover the time machine, it all makes sense.
I just watched “Old Cases” and “The Pager” where Lester and Prez first show their police work abilities and I’m suddenly supposed to like Omar. :eek: So far, I’m pretty friggin’ impressed. Oh, and I got the complete series set, which didn’t come with any flow chart. Ugh!
I had to laugh at the scene in “Old Cases” where McNulty and his original partner (what’s HIS name?) figure out the old murder case they’re trying to pin on D’angello simply by moving around the room going, “frak. Motherfrakker. Fraaaak…” (only, you know, they’re not really saying “frak”). That was amazing (and so much better than the totally unbelievable CSI shenanigans).
Oh sheesh! Thanks a lot, Ferris. Just don’t tell me who’s the Cylon or what’s under the hatch, would you? Don’t ruin that for me too. (I bet Daniels is the cylon. Right? Right?)
Hah!
Omar: “This shit all happened before, shit’ll all happen 'gain.”
“McNulty, I am yo’ daddy.”
What’s Bubbles’ role in all of this?
At the end of the series, Bubbles slouches away, then suddenly takes out his false bad-teeth dentures, straightens his posture, all Keyser Sosei-like, climbs into a limo, and is driven away.
That’s after he finally vanquishes Peter, Nathan, and Sylar.
^ Now you’ve gone too far, Ferris.
It was funny, though. Mostly because the actors who played Bubbles and Marlo were on Heroes. Their talent was pretty much wasted, but they were on the show.
On the episode of Leverage that I just watched, Timothy Hutton’s character had to choose between the aliases of Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy or Tom Baker. Someone on the writing staff is a DW fan.
So Bubbles DOESN’T cast the One Ring into Mount Doom then?
