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.

The Wire Season 5 Episode 1 in Review

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?

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.
