      Naw son, word on the street is stringer was cremated. He was so paranoid of doors that he didn't wanna be laid to rest in something that could open up. Plus being cremated would leave no evidence or DNA behind.

    "Lock that door". He wanted doors to be locked so much, at the end he got what he wanted without saying anything.

      That whole thing was some brilliant symbolism. Brother Muzone and the locked door represented the legitimate business world he would never quite reach and Omar/ the boarded up door represented the gangster world he was shut out of. Like Avon said, "A man without a country." When people say shit like Breaking Bad is the best show ever I dont even trip. It's just ignorance

      The Wire has the greatest characters, dialogue and overall story ever written of any show ever, with Boardwalk Empire a close 2nd. Then there's Oz, Rome, Banshee, Band of Brothers, True Detective and Tokyo Vice. HBO hardly ever disappoints ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    "One of my favorite scenes. I loved season 2 a lot, believe it or not. I thought it was just as strong as the other seasons." Mine too - my personal favorite. Episode 6 (19 of the series) is the best of the 5 seasons, IMO. Omar does demolition derby on Maurice "Mr. Slime" Levy, the return of Prop Joe, the show-stopping scene with the stripper ("These bitches in here are no joke"), and so on are among the many reasons to love this particular season.
