has potential.

You realize it first aired 11 years ago?

Something tells me this show might be ok. Betcha I can guess what happens

Not an easy read, I'll try when the sun is out.

no kidding it was 11 years ago.

hence these few lines

“Pilot” (season one, episode one; originally aired 3/12/2002)

Starting next week, I’ll review two episodes at a time unless that would bridge seasons. I won’t spoil anything in the main reviews, and from now on, I won’t warn about those spoilers, either. I may get into elements of spoilers in the stray observations, but those sections will be clearly marked. Ahem.

Reading that made me want to rewatch Season 1

I could try and put together a list of top 10 shield moments, except that it would have 300 things on it.

But I'll start one anyway.

Vic's "I'm a different kind of cop" speech from the pilot
The time they bug Dutch's car and catch him singing "Hungry Like the Wolf"
Dutch nabbing the serial killer .. and then melting down in the bathroom moments later.
Ronnie miked up in the strip club.
Lemonhead dominating at cock fighting.
Lemonehead kicking the $h1t out of Tigre's boyfriend.
Dutch realizing Danny has blown him off to hook up with Vic.
The entire season 2 final scene to Live's Overcome, especially the money train money in the swimming pool.
Lem's death.

I'm about half way through season 5 of The Wire, and this is the next series I'm taking down. Can't wait.

Hope you didn't read any of the posts in this thread.

I think that pissed me off more than anything else in the series.

Yes. Maybe that wasn't as real to me.
