  • Something I noticed on a rewatch. The war probably wouldn't have happened if the towers didn't come down in the first episode of season 3. Sound familiar?

  • truth and lies are nothing more then points of view. They were already at war with them even before Stringer died. So what did you expect them to do? You want Avon to go to Marlo and be like "Omar really killed Stringer so the war is over. By the way sorry about killing some of your people". Hell no! He had no choice but to fight. Sometimes in life you don't choose your battles...Your battles choose you. Everyone who has lived on this Earth has fought on a LIE one time or another.

  • Is this a reference to the war in Iraq?

  • Slim Charles was one of my favorites. Love this guy's loyalty, his voice and his whole vibe. This was his best lines of the show in this scene.

  • Sean Beans voice and this guys voice are the 2 most epic voices i've heard my whole life.

  • @kandinskyforfootball The whole war between Barksdale and Marlo is a metaphor for the war in Iraq. The war in Iraq started based on the lie that they were responsible for the World Trade Center being attacked. The war between Barksdale and Marlo would have never happened if the terrace towers weren't taken down.

  • @maxjordan90 Explain plse.

  • Slim was smart. He was pragmatic, picked his spots, and when he knew it was his time to rise up he did. He was well respected by EVERYONE in the CO-OP and even Omar respected Slim. Without a doubt the most underated character in The Wire.

  • this is one of my favorite scenes of the whole series....

  • @maxjordan90 Brilliant. Comments on The Wire videos have to the best on youtube. Although below me it looks like your comment has got a few people side-tracked.

  • @MrBigoj thanks for summing up the top 2 comments!

  • Str8 soulja!
