All we need is just a little patience...
The email from Little Duke says it all...
"Uh oh":
There will be no sneak peek via On Demand of the 90-minute series finale of HBO's The Wire, according to a spokesman for the cable channel.
The finale will premiere at 9 p.m. March 9, and that will be the first time anyone will be able to see it - whether or not they have access to HBO On Demand.
Throughout this fifth and final season, subscribers have been able to use On Demand to see each of the nine previous episodes starting the Monday before their Sunday night cable premiere.
HBO says they are breaking with that pattern so that On Demand viewers don't "spoil" the finale for those who want to watch March 9. During this season and last, On Demand viewers have often posted details of episodes online in a way that made the spoilers almost impossible to ignore.
Man, it's gonna be a long week.
At least I can surf the internet again without fear of someone spoiling the ending. So, there's that.
Anyway, Wire fans, what have you thought about the season so far? If the trend in quality of episodes continues, this last one could be the best and saddest ever.
As I said earlier, I was apprehensive about the plot lines and story trajectory at first, but I'm totally on board now and, obviously, can't wait to see how it resolves (or doesn't).

I think it has been a swell season so far.
I hate making predictions about TV shows, but here goes:
**********CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE 2ND TO LAST EPISODE THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON DEMAND**************
I had been thinking that Marlo is going to walk and go on as king of city. I think he still might walk with the s**t hitting the fan with the serial killer hoax.
Part of the lesson of the show is that no individual can rise above the systems they work in. That goes for the street as well. Barksdale and Stringer Bell were both kings on the street, but stringer is dead and barksdale is locked up.
So, too, is marlo's time going to come. But it wont be the legal system that takes him out, but the street. More specifically, Michael -- who will be the new king of the street.
