@@MachineGunMouth That scene when Coliccho threatens to beat the crap out of some 10 y/o when Hamsterdam is finally torn apart... and Bunny gives him the glare.
The look on Bodie's face when McNulty says, "Smart kid," is touching. You can tell Bodie genuinely received and respected his words (in that moment, at least).
That look Bodie gives McNulty when McNulty calls him smart... great acting. The subtle facial expressions and eye movement. You can tell Bodie appreciated and need that compliment
It's the only time that anyone really gave Bodie his props. The Barksdales expected Bodie to operate on that level but then left him out to dry when Marlo started to rise up, and obviously Marlo's regime deliberately fucked Bodie over time and again until they dropped him. Bodie was the hardest-working soldier in the whole show, always hustling and grinding, always first one to the corner and last one to leave. And you damn sure know he wasn't getting overtime.
This scene is a great example of how McNulty is “natural police”. His mix of banter and seriousness is so natural. Carver is on the way there, but it isn’t ingrained in him yet.
It's about building rapport, building relationships. If you can't engage people, you're not even a person to them and they aren't a person to you...just ideas and impressions.
There's a long lecture from Colvin to Carver at Season 3 Episode 10 7:45. "You ain't shit as a police" because Carver doesn't have informants or even friendly acquaintances in the community, unlike for example Bushy Top (McNulty). There are two short but important scenes in season three leading up to this harsh dressing-down. Episode 5 @ Colvin asks who the mid-level dealers are and Carver goes "I don't know... I didn't know I was supposed to be taking a census." Colvin scowls. Episode 6 @ Colvin asks which gangs are warring, all Carver knows is "gangs. Assholes who don't like each other." Colvin shakes his head as how useless Carver is. BUT in Episode 9 43:30 Carver moves a dead body to protect Colvin's free zone even though it's a stupid move that of course will be detected by forensics if not detectives. I conclude that the point of the Carver character is to illustrate the pattern of inept but hardworking and loyal police rising to the top ranks over better cops. Cite me in your college essays, any kids who use this! (end of many edits)
@@banyarling I think thats what Colvin teaches Carver. That Carver is a great solider, but a terrible police. After that we get to see Carver grow as a police rather than a soldier.
That look in Bodie's eyes at 1:23. God damn that kid needed a father figure. He looks to Cutty with the same eyes in Season 3 and you can tell he yearns for the approval of Slim and Stringer. Really makes his character so much more tragic for me
Bodie is def one of the most tragic characters on The Wire. So much potential, and def needed a father figure, as you said. Was sad as fuck when he got popped.
I love how hard they emphasized the massive difference between Carver and Hauk. Both of them worked their way the ranks through BS, but only one of them actually bettered himself and got to know the community while the other kept going "the Western District way" and never moved past that. Complete opposite when Hauk rolls up on that crew and can't pick out Little Kevin.
Like how McNulty gives them an hours selling time, these guys are pawns at the bottom of the ladder, treat em with a bit of respect and it pays dividends later.
This is one of the best scenes in the whole show. Bodie low key laughing at Carver's joke then smiling when McNulty calls him "smart kiddo" ... it's all just gold.
Carver started out like Colicchio & Herc too. Remember when they couldn't find where the lil hopper ran off & he had no one to talk to for information, he stood on top of that car & yelled "We are going to beat you longer & harder than you beat your own dicks"... Just thankfully Bunny Colvin had an influence on Carver.
“Police officers should try to be Carver”? Are you fucking high? He was by far one of the worst. Always power tripping and with a sense of entitlement regarding respect, whilst having his head too far up his ass to understand that it’s earned, not owed. Plus, he suffered from LMS, too. That character - and the man who played it - were both absolutely fucking horrible.
I always kind of thought Carver was as bad as any of the cops. He did have a hunger for climbing the ranks that made him act a certain way though. He became Sgt by going to the Depty Ops behind Daniel's back in season 1 then used Colvin's advice as a way to try to move up again. Inside he was probably no better than Herc or Callechio . The part was acted really well. When he says "where's the love Bodie" it seems forced. He probably wanted to smack him around like he would have un season 1.
How the hell did Carver become one of my favorites on The Wire? He was such a piece of crap in the first half of the show (just like Herc) and then he starts to turn it around when Hamsterdam becomes a thing until finally, he becomes an effective, moral cop. One of the darndest things to happen on this show.
His arc is one of the best, along with Bubbles. We watch one dude make lieutenant and another dude walk up some stairs. Those are the little victories.
Bunnie reached him just as he did Naemond this show is all about the lost and found some make it some don't Herc didn't he became part of the system who don't care just trying to make money and exploit the situation like everyone else. That's why he ends up with the slimy lawyer
@@deb7457 Man herc only did that cause it's was his fault that led to that little fella being change into a corner boys into the system so he didn't really do anything herc character showed how some cops don't have any desire to really do good but just get a check he was a Valchek in the making that never made it.
Bunny was the greatest thing that ever happened to Carver, as well as Daniels. Daniels got the ball rolling for him to be good police and Bunny sealed the deal.
One of the best scenes of the whole series. Definitely one of my favorites. Sidenote: I think many of the real-life police in "inner cities" with multiple excessive force allegations have the same hostile attitude and mindset as Colicchio.
Sloth from The Goonies Don't know who said anything about race, but okay lol. I, for one, kind of beg to differ on that (it's kind of easy to beat up on people you view as subhuman or inferior to you), but I don't really disagree with your point as a whole.
oRuTRa45 I'm just making the point that people are now trying to use race as a common motive for brutality. Their is virtually no evidence to support this, all races have been victims. I think we should be focusing on the police culture of brutality, rather than unproven race issues,
***** Very good answer but you negated the existence of unquantifiable factors. No police shooting occurs in exactly the same fashion. Is the suspect armed? How is he behaving? Is the officer trigger happy or does he harbour certain prejudices? The information may suggest that race is an issue but correlation does not necessarily imply causation. I think we can assume race probably is a factor, but it would be naive to suggest that it's nothing more than an assumption.
It is partially a race thing, though. Regardless of the officer's race, their primary targets are young black men. If officers were to start predominantly harassing young white college kids who were loitering about, you think they wouldn't get their ears chewed off by their captains about it later? Cops (regardless of race) tend to focus their efforts on black folks because that demographic has much of the least political capital to have their complaints heard.
"You send him up to Lemmel next month and I'll make sure Ms. Davis puts him in remedial math." That's my old school! Ms. Davis was my cooperating teacher when I first started. It's closed now, but most of the videos I've posted were shot there.
This scene is a prime example if how Carver grew up throughout the show. Compare his attitude here to season 1 when him and Herc spent all their days thumping heads. now hes finally good police by this point. he took Colvin's words to heart.
Everyone says it's all Bunny... but I think Kima was the one to turn the worm, and make him even consider using his head instead of his fists. Bunny and Daniels certainly had huge influences on him, but I don't think he would have even taken notice, if Kima's approach to police work hadn't made him a little bit embarrassed by the was he acting.
This scene was one of those classics where this show was really firing. So much screen chemistry from good long form storytelling and some serious acting talent bringing it to life.
The opening scene of S1E1 The Wire is McNulty talking to a witness and empathizing, making it a human conversation and not an interrogation. He always had the knack for people and a moral code. Carver had to learn from Kima and Bunny, but he got there too. Doesn't matter if you're a natural or you have to work up to it, being great at your job is where you need to be. This intersection of McNulty, Carver, and Bodie (who needed cops in his life that were friendly instead of scary) is not accidental of course.
This scene was amazing. There is a, if not mutual respect, then at the very least an understanding that they are both just out there trying to survive the hand life dealt. It's crazy though, go back to that corner it'd be nothing but ghosts. Lex dead, Lil Kevin dead, Bodie dead.
I loved the character development in this show. Pretty much all of the characters grew, but Carver grew the most. Followed swiftly by Bodie. He was a real nasty piece of work in season 1. By season 4 you could tell he was a real nigga, and a righteous hustler.
+David White (Mr. No Chill) (Spoilers) I was surprised by how big of an impact it had on me when Bodie left the show. He was my favourite character in the entire show and I completely agree with you.
I don't think he was a 'nasty piece of work' but more so, just venting pent up aggression in a self destructive rage like most of them do. Even his grandmother said when he came to her as a child, she could tell he was dead inside. His parents died and then his older brother. He was acting out and was a lost, angry kid looking for the approval of the local gangsters he admired (Stringer, Bey, Avon, etc.). Hothead and temperamental, as one most likely would be in his case, but I would not say he's a 'nasty piece of work', as in he's some sort of flat out vile, evil person who did a complete 360 into some stand up guy (as we see he still has those temperaments). He just grew up and got a new position and new authority but he was still the same Bodie. lol
Good thing they promoted Carver and not that moron Colicchio, even though Carver didn't seem like much of a cop at the start. Kind of surprising since they usually promote the WRONG person (ie, Herc, freaking Valchek who even David Simon said was the only character without any redeeming qualities!).
+Colonel Hart the reason Carver got promoted despite not being incompetent was because he had Bunny, then Daniels, looking out for him. Mainly Daniels, I think
Tony was only in it to kick down doors and rough people up. Violence goes down, nobody for him to arrest and rough up, he gets angry. The worst kind of cop.
Carver's comments to his partner stemmed directly from the mentorship of Bunny from the lecture he gave him about leadership, where he drew up comparisons to Carver's busting heads mentality to warfare. Which was a great scene unto itself. That was a great callback from some very encompassing, writing.
Carver's arc was always the most satisfying to me in the series. Despite being a bonehead in the beginning, he actually starts to learn something and becomes damn good police by the end.
Carver gets it that you gotta know your beat, who's out on it, everything. The fact that he even knows Reese be the one that messes up the count shows how deep he is in.
That look bodie gives mcnulty. He’s just a kid who needs a father. God the character depth in this show. U gotta watch it twice-one for the dialogue and second time for all the non verbals u missed the first time.
Something about McNulty commanded respect on the street. They sensed his intelligence and toughness...He gave less of a crap then they did and though a people person, wasn’t co-dependent. I think they also sensed he was sort of a rebel, like them...Natural 👮♀️!
The slight message of the wire was so great. Carver tries forcing respect when mcnulty shows up and gives it to bodie then tell him to move on. In the end mcnulty is who they respect not carver
Despite all the bad shit that happened in the series, it was really rewarding to see characters grow and mature over time: Bodie goes from a hotheaded punk to a man who can see the big picture, and Carver goes from a self-serving opportunist to a truly exemplary leader and police officer.
We used to have a police officer like McNulty way back in the day. He knew that the so called war on drugs was bullshit and used to tell us to split from our spot when the station got too many complaints. Needless to say, he didn't last that long. What replaced him was a pyscho cop.
I think this is the first scene with Carver on the street after the big lecture from Colvin. Those two scenes together are perfect examples of The Wire's greatness.
"Bust every head, who're you gonna talk to when the shit happens?" No matter what was actually intended with that line, I choose to believe that Carver goes to Bodie whenever he needs marriage counselling.
When I was a cab driver it was a bit like this. I knew the cops and all the fiends and criminals alike. I rode a thin line between the two. Was actually the craziest job ive had.
mcnulty loving the entrapment is so perfect for mcnulty, he plays the game but hates how its established, if bodie is able to get away using the lawyers own bullshit, thats perfect, you'd think mcnulty is all about catching the criminal but its more playing the system and winning
The wire is fucking awesome. Carver knows all their names because of what Bunny Colvin told him in season 3, that he wasn't a cop worth a shit. When Carver tells the other cop, who you gonna talk to when the shit goes down, that was exactly what Colvin asked him and Carver couldn't tell him anything
Phillip Pirowkowski Carver. He said it in an interview. Something like “I auditioned for Stringer Bell. And obviously wasn’t fit for the role. So they called me up and asked me to come in again for Carver. This time a threw a few more “fuck bombs” in there and got the role” hahah
What's sad is that Marlo's crew pretty much took out all of these guys...Bodie's crew, I mean. Bodie, a little Kevin and Lex -- all dead under Marlo's orders. At least Reesy was still breathing (hopefully at least) by the series end.
*_"Can't bust every head Tony....who you gonna talk to when the shit happens?"_*
Bunny's wisdom shinning through
Yea but it definitely went on deaf ears when talking to Tony. He's the type of cop that doesn't bleed red, he bleeds blue...
@@MachineGunMouth That scene when Coliccho threatens to beat the crap out of some 10 y/o when Hamsterdam is finally torn apart... and Bunny gives him the glare.

@@KuluWarrior very accurate way to describe how mcnulty operates
I love how Bodie laughs at Carver's joke about the count, but tries to hide it.
Then when it cuts away to McNulty driving up, you can hear him say "he fucking got me." Brilliant.
That's what got Bodie killed, being friendly with the police. That's not cool in his line of work.
Bodie said “this fucking guy maaan” talking about Carver as Mcnulty is driving up.

Absolutely superb performances to go with its great writing.
1:14 you can tell Bodie appreciated McNulty talking him up
this episode is full of great moments. well, all of s4 really is.
amphitheatre every single second of The Wire is a great moment
Best season imo
now carver is dealing with zombies
he's bad at dealing with zombies
+Cheesus Crust i think he is gonna go down tomorrow..
So is D'angelo and Cutty 😂😂
Tyy Glizzy tainted meat!
Zombies or Baltimore? I'll go with the zombies
love the bit where bodie is trying not to laugh at carver making fun of reese messing up the count
Tony was only in it to kick down doors and rough people up. Violence goes down, nobody for him to arrest and rough up, he gets angry. The worst kind of cop.
This scene reminds me of both these actors back during their time on HBO's Oz, and how much one changed while the other stayed basically the same.
Carver's comments to his partner stemmed directly from the mentorship of Bunny from the lecture he gave him about leadership, where he drew up comparisons to Carver's busting heads mentality to warfare. Which was a great scene unto itself. That was a great callback from some very encompassing, writing.
Carver's arc was always the most satisfying to me in the series. Despite being a bonehead in the beginning, he actually starts to learn something and becomes damn good police by the end.
Dude watching Carver evolve from season to season was a damn good story.
Carver gets it that you gotta know your beat, who's out on it, everything. The fact that he even knows Reese be the one that messes up the count shows how deep he is in.
That look bodie gives mcnulty. He’s just a kid who needs a father. God the character depth in this show. U gotta watch it twice-one for the dialogue and second time for all the non verbals u missed the first time.
Something about McNulty commanded respect on the street. They sensed his intelligence and toughness...He gave less of a crap then they did and though a people person, wasn’t co-dependent. I think they also sensed he was sort of a rebel, like them...Natural 👮♀️!
This scene is the beginning of the end for bodie...
Father Gabriel Stokes before the apocalypse...and before he was a priest
Carver listened and took Bunny Colvin's advice. " you catch more flies with honey"
Man I love this scene. It shows the character growth of all three of the season one actors. This show never got the recognition it deserved.
The slight message of the wire was so great. Carver tries forcing respect when mcnulty shows up and gives it to bodie then tell him to move on. In the end mcnulty is who they respect not carver
Carver is my favourite character on The Wire was awesome to see his growth as a police officer throughout the series.
Despite all the bad shit that happened in the series, it was really rewarding to see characters grow and mature over time: Bodie goes from a hotheaded punk to a man who can see the big picture, and Carver goes from a self-serving opportunist to a truly exemplary leader and police officer.
Credit goes to Colvin. Carver heard him and became a better cop.
We used to have a police officer like McNulty way back in the day. He knew that the so called war on drugs was bullshit and used to tell us to split from our spot when the station got too many complaints. Needless to say, he didn't last that long. What replaced him was a pyscho cop.
One of my favorite scenes, from any show.
Carver had such great character development.
One of the final shots of the show was Bodie's corner. Wonder if the broom is still there.
From the wire to the walking dead.... Resume solid
@iam Negan i dunno, bruh. thats like going from bank CEO to mopping the floors at a peep show.
I like the fact Bosie was an equal opportunity employer. Lex clearly special and Kevin and Reecey have cardiovascular issues.
How did Lil' Kev never start a fire with his hands
I think this is the first scene with Carver on the street after the big lecture from Colvin. Those two scenes together are perfect examples of The Wire's greatness.
i was thinking about this scene today. why was Lex just sweeping the sidewalk?? i get they were trying to look low key but c'mon maaan!
+Brandon Turner who knows
lol that's why Carver said "You missed a spot." He's fucking with him because he knows Lex is bullshitting.
Brandon Turner You obviously aren't from the hood, lol.
If only I can take a picture right now, I'd show you exactly how dealers be. One is literally picking up trash across the street from me😂😂
All the drug dealers all around the hood one would think they would be cleaning up the street from all the trash while they are out hustling.
It's funny seeing Lex and Little Kev working right next to each other.
Clayton Hughes from Oz before he went crazy and Father Gabriel from The Walking Dead before the zombie apocalypse. LOL
You mean His Excellency Gamba Kufu from the Republic of Huru? :D
Loved all the little nuances like that spread throughout the series.
"Bust every head, who're you gonna talk to when the shit happens?"
No matter what was actually intended with that line, I choose to believe that Carver goes to Bodie whenever he needs marriage counselling.
One of my favourite scenes. Love the banter
When I was a cab driver it was a bit like this. I knew the cops and all the fiends and criminals alike. I rode a thin line between the two. Was actually the craziest job ive had.
Love this scene. Carver and Mcnulty playing it dry, Bowdie understanding but hesitant. All in the game.
mcnulty loving the entrapment is so perfect for mcnulty, he plays the game but hates how its established, if bodie is able to get away using the lawyers own bullshit, thats perfect, you'd think mcnulty is all about catching the criminal but its more playing the system and winning
This was my quarantine soap opera!
If only he was this badass on the walking dead haha
This didn't age well, lol.
My third favorite scene
Not so religious.. right Father Gabriel!?
Negan Looool I was thinking the same thing
Please don't kill him for this Negan. Lol
Negan I thought the same
LOL the looks on their faces after Coliccio cusses out Bodie like 'yeah, dis da Baltimore police we know'
0:01 ed edd n eddy LMFAOOOOO
Sadly every single kid on this corner is dead by the end of the show. The Wire is brutal
McNulty natural police. When I roll back in an hour, y'all are done for the day.....classic
One of my favourite scenes , one of many, its so pure
Colvin's talk clearly rubbed off on Carver. His character transformation was amazing.
The wire is fucking awesome. Carver knows all their names because of what Bunny Colvin told him in season 3, that he wasn't a cop worth a shit. When Carver tells the other cop, who you gonna talk to when the shit goes down, that was exactly what Colvin asked him and Carver couldn't tell him anything
Goddamnit I hate Officer Colicchio.
Dude is complete roid rage.
I bet his back is covered in pimples.
@TimboSlice fuck yourself with a 40 shit breath!
This has got to be the best acting scene in this series.
Colicchio is exactly the wrong type of person to be a policeman, his mindset is more suited to the military.
VeniVidiVicious ironically enough in real life he was a Marine officer. Hence the high and tight haircut and militaristic attitude
Miss This Show
I love Bodie's permanently unimpressed facial expression.
I love that even with that, he still can't hide liking Carver and McNutty
After bunny Colvin Amsterdam he started seeing them as people ....💙💛💜💙💚x x x
this actor actually auditioned for stringer bell. lol.
Phillip Pirowkowski Carver. He said it in an interview. Something like “I auditioned for Stringer Bell. And obviously wasn’t fit for the role. So they called me up and asked me to come in again for Carver. This time a threw a few more “fuck bombs” in there and got the role” hahah
What's sad is that Marlo's crew pretty much took out all of these guys...Bodie's crew, I mean. Bodie, a little Kevin and Lex -- all dead under Marlo's orders. At least Reesy was still breathing (hopefully at least) by the series end.
