he may still love elana but its def more because hes a pimp and guys get way more attention from women when they have a wedding ring on. women take it as ooooh hes desired/relationship material let me **** him so i can make another womans life miserable.

i watch a lot of great shows but I have realized and now admit that one of the shows I cant wait to see every week is the ultimate fighter. It's a must for any fans of MMA imo.

ps: jesus christ prison break is so getting old... like it was old two seasons ago but now I dont think anyone cares anymore about the plot or any of the characters.

prison break was very good for two episodes i thought, despite how ridiculous it was at times. but yeah, it's super old and i can't keep up with it anymore

also, bodie is the best character on the wire. his progression from the first season until the end is incredibly interesting

bodie had all the potential but none of the luck

so i'm like halfway through season 2 of the wire and havent seen an episode in a month or two, b/c i cant get the motivation to finish this fisherman mafia story arc. also ziggy tilts me.

is it really that bad to just go straight to season 3. finishing season 2 feels like homework. i wanna go back to the inner city for a storyline.

as much as s2 is annoying sometimes, and sometimes when watching the wire (even latter seasons) i find myself wishing they would go back to the "street" stuff, it would be a crime to miss all the details and later connections that you get in the end of season 2. also, season 2 is really not all bad-- but honestly if you really hate watching it that much, you probably won't love the next few seasons all that much.

Clayton · 05-16-2009, 03:55 AM

yeah, upon checking on wikipedia the details of the next few seasons (the schools, the government, the newspaper), I guess I was initially misled. I figured season 1 was just 1 of 5 seasons detailing the drug trade.

i blame ziggy. FU LUCK.

Why does everyone hate the character of Ziggy so much? I hate the character as a person but I think it's a fine character na meeeeen? If you don't think people like Ziggy exist, well I can tell you that I've known people that are a lot like him.

eh, i agree with you like 95%, just seems like a bit of a sore thumb given the prior context of the series. borderline shtick. the "jar jar binks" of the wire.
