We’re now officially in that part of the season where we see just how everything’s going to go wrong. Those up to #47 should sit tight for a Monday post, while anyone on the broadcast schedule should get familiar with the following:
JSJ with general #46 analysis
CC on Dinner III
Shoals on language, confusion, and decay
pizzawhale with [...]
DIB, our esteemed Nashville colleagues (they do have a song about Shoals’ ethnic ambiguity) were kind enough to report back while they were in Baltimore this week. What was most startling, they said, were the machinations of the Baltimore Believe campaign: giant podiums (and trashcans, apparently) emblazoned with “BELIEVE”, as well as constantly flashing [...]
Written as election returns came in. I decided this morning that it’s all raw political undercurrent, and thus have edited it barely;I hope the price you pay is not too steep. Minor #46 spoilers, so if you’re doing things the old-fashioned way go here.
Admit it, you got defensive when the entire media first swooped down [...]
A lot of good discussion going on about episode 46… this post will continue the trend of spoiling it. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
If anyone hasn’t had enough of beating me over last week’s post and the tempest in teapot it started, please, add some gasoline to the flames here. More 45 content here.
Today I [...]
Well, we have arrived at the beginning, the slow build to the climax of this season. It feels good and sickening too, like the excitement of reaching the crest of the first hill on a rollercoaster. You can’t wait to be set flying, but you also kind of wish you could back down and savor [...]
Fresh off of watching #46, which might be the single best episode of The Wire EVER. More on that from JSJ later, but for now, anyone chained to broadcast can learn the might of our #45 musings:
Shoals gets ruined
CC doesn’t hate children
JSJ on music and others
Pizzawhale’s political spectacle
Several join hands around race
WARNING: Comments [...]
This was a real team effort, with contributions from Bethlehem Shoals, christycash and jetsetjunta, just FYI.
We’re glad that newly minted comrade-in-arms pizzawhale really delivered (wokka wokka) in a post about politics this week because, well, there’s a rather important election coming up, and we don’t want to give the impression that we’re completely lost in [...]
I’m counting the minutes til next Tuesday, because I’ve been deprived of salacious, tacky, nonsensical network television: Cheaters, reruns, Secretos Houston, my beloved Marvin Zindler, driven away by utterly demoralizing state and congress election spots. Sure, Texas hasn’t had the most attention drawn to its fucked up ads, and our ways of [...]
Lively discussions abound all over H&H this week on both posts concerning #45, and you can expect more fire soon from a new poster who is also an old soul. If you are just looking for the good word on #44, peep one, two, or buckle my shoe.
Meanwhile, I have been meaning to say some [...]
