The Telegraph has an interesting article on the Wire cast and what they are up to now that the show has finished.

Last time i spotted my personal favourite “McNulty” was in Frank Millers 300.

Five season of the Wire is gone. It’s been one hell of a ride. Big ups and downs.

Have to say that I thought the ending was pretty damn perfect. A little bit sentimental, but not over the top. And even if the show came to and end, the city and streets continue to live its life…

Cheers to you McNulty, Bunk, Daniels, Rhonda, Kima, Herc, Ellis, Lester, Bubbles, Omar, Prez, Burrell, Bodie, Avon, Stringer, Carcetti, Marlo, Chris, Bunny, Cutty, Poot, Snoop, Prop Joe, Duke, Clay Davis, Wee-Bey, D’Angelo, Clarence, Valchek, Monk, Shamrock, Fitz, Sobotka, Gus, Scott, The Greek, Butchie, O-Dog, and the rest of you!

One of my favourite scenes, when McNulty gets profiled Pure genious!

The Wire Season 5 Episode 1 in Review

mcnulty — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:49:43 +0000

I bet you did the same thing as me this weekend – watching the first episode of the wire season 5.I loved the opening scene, bunk in fine form interrogating a seemingly clueless small time gangster, and later using a copying machine as a lie detector – instant classic. It was also great to see McNulty early on in the episode, I missed him in the later seasons but now he seem to be back where he belongs, in the spotlight and late night binge drinking sessions.

Another bright point was the journo crew at the Baltimore Sun which seem to be just as much of a motley crew as the gangsters and police.

It was great to see so many familiar faces in one single episode – McNulty, Bunk, Kima, Herc, Marlo, Prop Joe, Bubs, Carter, Carcetti, Chris, Snoop, Michael, Dukie (boy, he’s grown) and lots more.

I just realized how much I missed these characters, and how happy I am that they are back J

How do you rate the first episode of season 5?

So this is it, the only Jimmy McNulty Fan Club. God damn. Shame on you!

A few minutes a go I did a google search for “McNulty Fan Club” and “The Wire Fan Club” and couldn’t find anything on the first pages that even resembled a fan page. Shit. How can this great show have such a poor f*cking following? I figured I am the chosen one to create this great and very unofficial f*cking fan club. So here goes:

In the honor of Jimmy McNulty I swear to only write posts whilst at least half drunk, generally pissed of about the world, and having a smuck grin on my face.

This will probably not be the greatest page on the net, but at least it will be the first one dedicated to Jimmy McNulty and the Wire.

I’ll probably also mention Bunk a lot as he’s another cool f*cker. A great example is the the episode when McNulty had to get Bunk from a random woman’s house in the middle of the night, and Bunk was sitting in the bathroom firing up his clothes to destroy the evidence of is infidelity – that’s one great mind and great comedy!

What’s so great about McNulty is not that I agree with what he does, but that he’s a f*cking cave man. He doesn’t give a f*ck about norms and he does things you don’t really want a hero to do – he’s just f*cking human, for better and for worse.

ps. dedicated this post to the episode where McNulty and Bunk constantly said f*ck for 5 minutes whilst investigating a crime sceen – that’s great comedy Can’t remember which episode though, but it was first season.
