  • id even go as far as to say that franks quote here is the best of the entire series

  • I really like this actor. He's been excellent in everything I've seen him in. Frank's death was one of The Wire's most tragic moments.

  • So how does one of the greatest Wire moments end up having a Howard Stern video as a recommended video??

  • Fuck unions, nothing but a bunch of left-wing scum trying to strong-arm the American worker out of their hard earned money.

  • @bustaphatty Obviously you care enough to drag your tough-talkin,' racist ass to this link just to share your "insightful" five cent comments. Do us all a favor and leave. Or die. Both would be preferable actually, scumbag.

  • this shows so shit, whos cares about aload of niggers selling drugs anyways.

  • @JerkyFraser Frank's death is so compelling on so many levels, and -- you're absolutely right, one of the most tragic parts of the entire series. Zig's too, though Frank's definitely the more sympathetic character. He's essentially a good guy, doing illegal things to take care of his people, keep his union afloat, but a tragic hero in the most tragic of ways. Just great writing and acting.

  • Best season of an epic series. Man I miss this show.

  • @BaxterX7 maybe you shouldn't have been reading comments and shit on youtube if you didn't want it spoiled

  • Frank's and D's death were both so upsetting.

  • @86london cant agree with u more!!! every1 says season 2 was the worst cuz less violence and less street scenes but watchin it that second time made wanna see more shit about the Sobotka's and the stevedores. Stringer and his backstabbing ways turned me off from his character and what was popping in the towers.

  • the big line here is 'it ain't about me', frank hasn't worked out that he's in a system which is all about me. he was one of the only guys who represented people and had their interests at heart
