[...] Scene 30: Sun newsroom. As Gus watches Templeton fellate Managing Editor Klebanow (don’t have a nickname for him yet, Klebanow’s funny enough), the French Twist metro reporter pokes his wounded pride with a stick by re-stating the obvious: their esteemed publication is about to print a completely fatuous concoction about a fictional character, written by a smug Lying Liar.

I just know a little bit and no more—i picked up the spoiler crack pipe and what I found out made me wish I hadn’t.

I liked that speech by Slim Charles. I liked that Tupac reference I made ’bout the Westsider woman to Bunny at the meeting: “”My cousin Billy Gant cooperated, went downtown and testified. He deader than Tupac today.”

Marlo has the ambition, but I think his ambition is beyond his grasp. Maybe not. Thing is, Marlo is crazy enough to do what you’re talking about.

The one thing that worries me is that everyone who has seen spoilers refuses to say word one about Prop Joe. That can’t be good.

I said “if,” Dr. Morris.

But he’s up to some kind of shit.

Agreed that Slim Charles was weak.

He did however, deliver one of the best pieces of dialogue ever, the classic “I’m standin here holding the shot up church crown of a bona fide colored lady….” speech.

Didn’t Cheese have a fine pit bull at one time? No mas. And man, the way I look at it, Slim Charles is partially to blame for Bodie getting the head shot. He had enough juice to keep the Barksdale org together, at least as a member of the coop. He folded to Marlo. Bad personal choice, bad bidness choice.

And Virgo, what kinda crazy biotch are you…Marlo goin’ “above the heads of both Prop Joe and Vondos”? You mean The Greek? Don’t even bring that in here. Marlo be deader than Tupac if he tries that.

THAT’s Cheese. I kept seeing his name in the recaps, but I couldn’t remember the actor’s face.

And racy, watching those conference room meetings, I keep expecting Prop Joe to bitch somebody out for not putting the right cover on his TPS reports …
