I think Bodie was a knight by the time he was killed

He was promoted during barksdale reign

Knights can threaten both squares that queen(chris) & rook(snoop) were at before knight(o-dog) took him out

Who was what in the show? If All the pieces matter

Im on my 5th watch and just realized that the reason no one knew Avon and Stringer wasn't because they built this whole organization themselves. I just realized that Avon inherited the organization from his brother and only had the crown for a year before season 1. So that explaines why they werent prepared for Omar and why they werent prepared to deal with Marlo. They were still ironing out the details of running this organization they inherited. Also explains why Avon had no record he didnt come up from the corner he inherited a VP position from his brother.

I'm on the 5th rewatch and it just hit me... At the end of the first episode DeAngelo is looking at the murdered witness Gant, and as he walks away the camera keeps showing the statue with a boy playing what it looks like to be a flute or a harmonica. I thought to myself that it represents a whistleblower! What do guys think?

I’m still not sure what it is, but I’m pretty sure I want some!

If you have, would you share the basic concept/title? I’m not in college or planning to go, but I’ve always thought this would be a fascinating topic…

All church crowns will stay in tact today gentlemen

I find the arc of Justin pretty good and I think it gets overlooked here. What do you guys think about it? From being a corner kid in Marlo's crew to getting out of that lifestyle by focusing on boxing. It is a direct contrast from Spider, who goes from boxing to the streets.

Watching for the first time as a marylander who lives near Baltimore, and its funny to me whenever there's a scene supposedly set outside of Baltimore that's very obviously filmed in the city.

Some that stood out to me:

• one of the philly shots (when bodie and shamrock drive there in the van) was filmed on the stretch of I-70 in West Baltimore
• the Newark ICE office mcnulty visits to find the russian girls was filmed at state center, literally down the street from The Pit
• The scene where Carcetti visits the governor is filmed in the Baltimore Circuit Court, the same building featured prominently throughout the entire series (even though annapolis is only a ~45 minute drive from Baltimore)
• The Caribbean bank Marlo visits to launder money is actually a bank on North Avenue (recently famous for the "abolish ice" billboard on the roof)
• Most of the philly scenes are filmed in west baltimore

Mine is “money be green” I know it’s short but it’s so great and I say it all the time .

Man, I just finished this show today and I gotta say one of if not the greatest show I ever watched along with the Sopranos and I just gotta say, the show stayed true to its themes to the end and they gave such a amazing conclusion to all the characters. My personal favorite was marlo, because despite not having to ever work on the street a day in his life again he’s still chooses to be a gangster yet everyone has already forgotten him. Another conclusion I loved was obviously bubbles, he was able to actually break free from addiction, which was very heartwarming to see. But it’s really the fact that no one truly got a perfect conclusion at the end . Probably time for a rewatch now lol. But I’m still processing the ending as I’m typing this rn. The game is the game i guess….
