Today the Wire Season 5 will air on HBO, and we’ll celebrate with a few golden clips.

The Wire Season 5 DVD boxes will apparently have some unique content on them, prequel material where you’ll see the gangsters growing up. It’s awesome to see how Omar only played people in the game from day one, and prop joe beeing a slick business man even as a kid.

Another great prequel moment is when McNulty met Bunk. Check it out!

Snoop Dogg in The Wire Season 5 – Good or Bad?

The rumour that rapper Snoop Dogg is to play a part in The Wire Season 5 has sparked some fury among fans of the show.

The big question is in what form Snoop would appear; playing him self, being a regular on the show or just a short cameo role? In the case of the latter, the blog Hasbrowns and Toast has a few funny suggestions on how this could play out:

…give him 1 second. Literally 1 second. Some possibilities:

- A scene where Poot passes out testers and Snoop is running around fighting with Bubs over vials.

- Snoop as the janitor who cleans all the beer cans off the top of the Western.

- Snoop rolling by Snoop-like in the final montage. 1 second. Seriously.

- Snoop as the new guy that Jimmy’s ex is dating.

- Snoop as both the good and bad angel on the other Snoop’s shoulder. This scene would be less than 1 second though, since Killer Snoop doesn’t have angels on her shoulders, just blood. ( Hasbrowns and Toast blog )

This is what the Dogg himself has to say about The Wire

They called me to be a part of ['Entourage'], I used that as leverage to try and be on ‘The Wire,’ ” he continued with a smile. “You know how I get down. I’m trying to get in the system… …That’s how I was with ‘Entourage,’ that’s how I am with ‘The Wire.’ They ain’t call me yet. They just using my name in there.” MTV

I really hope they scrap the whole idea of having Snoop Dogg in the show as I think it would ruin the show’s authenticity. What do you think – is the Wire big enough for two Snoop’s?

The Secrets of The Wire Season 5 – Dirty Money and Private Eyes?!

While I’m eagerly awaiting the next and final season 5 of the Wire, I don’t really want to know beforehand about any plot twists. But on the other hand, it’s still very tempting to read all the gossip floating around the web on this topic. So, if you don’t want to risk getting the future plot spoiled, you might wanna stop reading here…

According to Japadamus, below are the main plot events for the Wire season 5:

Avon Barksdale gets out of prison and retakes the throne. A turf war ensues between Marlo and Avon.
Dukie becomes “hard” like Bodie and ends up getting killed by a stick up boy.
Omar is killed by Michael.
McNaulty is kicked out the police department. He becomes a private detective.
Prop Joe gets killed by Marlo.
Carcetti gets dirty from campaign money. He stops his reforms.

Believable? I would say just as much as anything else on the net, but the plot sounds pretty interesting. The post author says he got this info from a well informed the wire devotee, but I guess we won’t know for sure until next year…

What do you think? Will Avon be the king again? Will McNulty get the sack and become a private eye? Please share your thoughts.
