@@williamneuzil7403 Oh I know ... "A brother can't run with a stick ?" is also a quote from the show. Season 2, when Bunk shows up at the detail on the docks wearing lacrosse sweat pants.
I'm just some Canadian guy and I say Some of them are done through the newer characters in the later season. Randy probably loosely resembles bodie’s background, dukie obviously shows bubbles backgrounds, and Michael gives a more in-depth look at how Omar probably grew up.
but thats why i liked the older black cop(Lester Freamon) bcuz he was the definition of REAL police work... the one episode where they just had to sit there and do surveilence, the young cops were frustrated and Lester said "THIS is the job!"
I think the kid's constant use of the word proposition is meant, not to show us who he is, but to show us how he earned his nickname. Even if Joe was known for making deals it seems unlikely that a dealer from the projects would earn the name "Proposition Joe" unless he frequently used that word himself. For a kid like that clearly trying to act older than he is, it makes sense that he would overuse the word as he tries to pass himself off as a young business man (as he also refers to himself).
He uses the word as an adult in the main series too, it's obviously a bit of a catchphrase for him as well as his modus operandi, but it's funny to hear him doing it as a kid.
My son has a very large vocabulary and frequently surprises people with some oof the words that he uses. He has a few favorites too. I can see Proposition Joe as being that kind of kid.
Notice how the way omar asked questions about the people he hit up even as a kid in a simple robbery Micheal did too in running with snoop and chris...man i wish there was just 1 more final season

The best show of all time, I can watch and re-watch it over and over... One more season would have been great but at least it ended better than Deadwood.
WWWWWOOOW discovering these literally just filled my heart with LIFE!!! This is by far the greatest show to ever be created I’ve deadass rewatched the whole series all the way through for the last like 4 years honestly. My friends think I’m so weird until they inevitably sit down just one time and call me when they get home to tell me how obsessed they are with it thanks to me. This is literally art in its purest form, I truly wish there was more to watch but at the same time I genuinely feel like the length of the show was absolutely done perfectly and the way it leaves off truly magnifies exactly how endless the war on drugs will ALWAYS be.
Season 5 was perfect, it happened in a real way, Clay Davis getting acquitted was the icing on the cake, it's not as if all bad guys get shot in the end and all the good guys go for a drink. The Wire depicted real institutions with all their fucked up corruption and game playing. Best series ever
Mark Egglestone That was really the main character of the show. The city and its institutions. No matter what all of the characters are doing on whichever side they're on, the dangerous corners stay dangerous, the drugs keep coming and the money keeps flowing. The game's always the game, and nobody wins.

love the bunk/mcnulty scene. Bunks face when meeting up and dealing with mcnulty shows him going from not wanting anything to do with it to this is similar kind of a-hole he can work with.
Lack of quality writing? I dont know what show you were watching but season 5 was a great way to end the series. People were just mad because they chose to end the show in a realistic way, rather than a cinematic one.
Five struggled a bit for a couple reasons. One, Ed Burns had quit at the end of season 4. Two, Season 5 didn't get as many episodes as Simon originally wanted, forcing him to drop certain scene he wanted to add in, like one where Randy was revealed to be Cheese's son. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it had an uphill battle from the start.
@@solamon77 Where did you get that Burns was not involved in season 5? He's credited as an executive producer and as a writer on four of the ten episodes.
@@Ratchet2431 I worded that badly. Burns was away starting work on Generation Kill. He didn't have as much influence as on previous seasons. Sorry for the confusion. This is covered in one of the behind the scenes books on the Wire.
The prequels are fun, but you can tell they weren't made by david simon or the main creators. The omar and prop joe scenes were stupid but fun. The Mcnulty and Bunk one, however, is awesome (probably because the real actors played the characters, not kids)!
The Omar one wasn't stupid. It gives off a fuck load of back story that David Simon created. We had only heard of his brother "no heart" Anthony, and that one incident in particular. Other than that, nothing about Omar that we knew that went back before the show started. This shows where he got his ideas of robbing dealers. He never wanted to rob working stiffs, because they never deserved it. He knew it was so wrong that he pulled a gun on his brother to give the cash back. If Omar is willing to stick a gun to his own kin's head just to do the right thing, then that says everything about the man that we never would've known otherwise. He's a hood saint.
Chris You do know it though because his motives throughout the series are hurting those that have already hurt others. It's unnecessary back story which spoon feeds the viewer in a way that The Wire wouldn't. In my opinion it would take away from the strength of Omar as a character if it were a part of the main series.
Yea u wildin that omar shit was on point. He never rolled on nobody that wasn't in the game, that was his code since a youngin. They nailed this stop playin.
i agree bout Prop Joe was lame it's like he rolled out of bed and became as good at giving proposition as he was but i assume he learned that in time using it as his survival instincts.
WeeBey, Chris, Snoop, Slim, Cutty, Bunny….. they had such an opportunity with these prequels. Then again, it was a fight each season to get it back on air.
He never did . Putting your gun on someone means shooting them or taking from them . In this instance he didnt pick the target, didnt want to do it and reversed his mistake .
I don't know how I never saw these, back when I was obsessed with The Wire. But I firgured out it was Prop Joe so fast, haha that kid really nailed his mannerisms. Anybody seen him in anything else? He's good
Wished they did one on Marlo, Chris & Snoop.. Maybe one on the Ports too, the Greeks or just the union.. Avon, his sister and Stringer- WeBey as well.. Was the guy with Omar, No Heart Anthony?
I thought No Heart was Omar's brother, maybe I'm mistaking. Marlo Chris and Snoop were way to young to have background stories, hell there weren't even in their 20's, ok maybe early 20's. Personally I would have preferred background stories for some of the characters that weren't so well rounded in the series.
+Zamolxes77 yea No Heart Anthony was Omar's brother.. Plus a background story doesn't have to start in those timelines, I'm just saying I wanted to see more on Marlo, Chris and Snoop- like how they rose to power, I almost have a feeling that Chris was in the military too.. Snoop was just like Michael, she was just somebody he thought had potential.. Marlo's story would be nice to see due to the detectives saying he's the devil.. But, true- it would be good to see a story about the hustlers Prop Joe was talking about as well- and the police officer that influenced Gregs- along with the reporters the news paper was speaking on..
Above Beyond just to be able to see the union runnin smooth like everybody remembered in s2 wouldve been the shit everybody has nostalgia about it so a young frank sabotka would have been hella cool bruh
Ha! Ha! McNulty solves mediocre Coles case...so appropriate. McNulty needed to solve it. Liked the depiction of Prop Joe and Omar. Shows how they were ‘wired’, which was a big theme in The Wire.
Man. I'm guessing this was the DVD extras? Either way, very cool. I wish there were a hundred more of them. They should think about doing a whole prequel show. I'd watch. If Breaking Bad can do it...
@@thomaswalsh4924 Season 5 wasn't "bad", it just wasn't quite up to par when stacked up against the other seasons. Season 5 by itself pitted against any other show on TV, & you'd call it brilliant.
"Anthony. Give it back." lol Then proceeds to run the old man back his money. Omar a legend. and what's crazy is that he is based off a couple of real life dude's in Baltimore.
I want to see a Bunk McNulty buddy duo where they're divorced and live together and say wise, world-weary, hilarious things and occasionally solve murders off the clock True Detective style. Call it "Natural Police."
McNulty's part was the best.. Seems to fit, Prop Joe seemed off- I expected Prop Joe to have learned from the older guys that were in the game- And, he was one of those prodigy types.. Omar didn't fit.. 80's- he wouldve been 20+ years old by that time..
No man, Omar told in the courtcase against bird that he was 29 or some age close to that. That was is 2003. So in 1985 he would be around the age of 11.
Would love to see the prequel to how Avon and Stringer met. Or how Wee-Bey started working for Avon & Stringer; just like how Bey's son namond said to his dad "You're always telling me how you dropped out of school in the 6th grade, run up on the corner with Avon and String..." That would be a cool prequel
Poots prequel would have happened in a barber shop in the late 90's.....sitting in a barbers chair and a fine woman comes in with her young son. Poots barber gets distracted and pushes his hairline back....it never grows back.....hence Poots fucked up hairline for life.....🤣🤣😅😅😆🤣
So it says 1962 Maryland for Prop Joe, and he's probably about 12 years old in the scene. Making his year of birth around 1950. The Wire is around 2002 to 2008. That would make Joe somewhere around 52 into his mid 50's. I think Joe looks alot older than that, if you ask me
Asking someone for $10 in 1962 is like asking someone now for around $75. That's a little ridiculous. Given the overall accuracy of the show they should have adjusted for inflation. But I guess it wouldn't have rung out with the audience as much if he had been asking for more appropriate amounts like $1 or $1.50.
I think the show could've gone on for another season or two and still have been the greatest ever. David Simon himself is pretty bitter about the show being cancelled by HBO, and wished it had this many fans during the original run. It's honestly a disgrace that it got cancelled early because of low ratings.
The last one was funny, but the first two were vaguely embarrassing. I'm pretty sure that I could have figured out that the kid is Prop Joe without having him say PROPOSITION over and over. Kinda grating when I've been taught to expect subtlety.
Just as he arrives to Homicides Dpt he's already mean and disrespectful to the rules, not even having to wait a week or two. He's got his reputation in the Police Dpt well earned 😂.
This show is what inspired me to become a high-functioning alcoholic - homicide detective for the Baltimore PD.

So it says 1962 Maryland for Prop Joe, and he's probably about 12 years old in the scene. Making his year of birth around 1950. The Wire is around 2002 to 2008. That would make Joe somewhere around 52 into his mid 50's. I think Joe looks alot older than that, if you ask me
The acting was amazing the guy getting robbed Bravo Vince
This is great! Who did it and is there more?
Bunk and McNulty knew they were meant to be after the first time they drank together! The start of a beautiful friendship!
That baby Omar scene tho
Bunk and Jimmy 🤣🤣🤣
"HEYYYYYYY, this is my partner jimmy! A pretty one aint he?
*BEST FUCKIN TV SHOW THERE EVER WAS*
I want more little Omar
Asking someone for $10 in 1962 is like asking someone now for around $75. That's a little ridiculous. Given the overall accuracy of the show they should have adjusted for inflation. But I guess it wouldn't have rung out with the audience as much if he had been asking for more appropriate amounts like $1 or $1.50.
And the years seemed way off for their ages now
I think the show could've gone on for another season or two and still have been the greatest ever. David Simon himself is pretty bitter about the show being cancelled by HBO, and wished it had this many fans during the original run.
It's honestly a disgrace that it got cancelled early because of low ratings.
Never knew until today these existed
the bunk/McNulty prequel scene should have been bunk having his way with him on a patrol car hood
I just realized, McNulty is Jigsaw from Punisher Warzone. This is just the beginning.....
They were the best together!
That was the nicest robbery ive ever seen
How is this so adorable, damn
The last one was funny, but the first two were vaguely embarrassing. I'm pretty sure that I could have figured out that the kid is Prop Joe without having him say PROPOSITION over and over. Kinda grating when I've been taught to expect subtlety.
I wish they would have done Avon and Stringer and Lester and Rawls.
Omar been a straight up G
The Omar scene was deep.
I wish they showed Burrell in the glee club.
Stone stupid
Just as he arrives to Homicides Dpt he's already mean and disrespectful to the rules, not even having to wait a week or two. He's got his reputation in the Police Dpt well earned 😂.
