He’ll just look at Clay over the top of his reading glasses like the father Clay never had….

Lester Smooth

Yeah, Lester is really playing Clay at his own game. Although I wonder who will play who in the end. I mean, they are some of the smartest characters on the show and certainly true survivors in their respective institutions.

RIP Omar, you feel me?

Lester wants Marlo, and Lester knows Clay was getting payoffs from the Barksdale’s so he wants to leverage what Clay knows….follow the money.

But Lester’s whole play is a bluff. His threat is to take the head shot to the US Attorney, but the US Attorney has already told Lester to go fuck himself. Lester’s got nothing unless he can keep Clay scared, and Clay staying scared? Sheeeeeeee-it.

Yes, lots of foreshadowing about Kenard. Even when he got the holy hell beat out of him last season by Michael – he stood tough and didn’t bitch up that much. You could tell he wasn’t awed by Omar the last few episodes the way he was in season 3.

I am really interested to see how the Lester – Clay Davis thing plays out. Does Lester suspect Clay is involved in leaking the grand jury info to Prop Joe – and that’s the info he wants from Clay? Now that Lester is aware that Cheese is distributing for Marlo on the eastside- where does that go?
I need to pull out my season 4 dvds and re-watch the episode where Joe gets the infor for Marlo when he was “recruting” him into the co-op and see if there were any good clues about his source.

David Simon’s master foreshadowing: he decided on many plotlines even before season 3 was over. One example is in season 3 where Bunk is investigating the murder of one of Omar’s female associates. He hears little kids fussing and looks over to see one kid in a skull cap arguing with another little kid using a branch for a gun (Kenard). Check it out.

FIne, leave me alone with my bottle of Jameson for a 93 minute finale. Yeah, I’ll live blog it, and in the last 30 minutes, I’ll liveblog it with no vowels.

Hell, I’ll cap Kenard myself.

But did anybody else notice how Carcetti said “been”, like “mean” not “bin”? Annoyed the hell outta me.

Virgtotex,

Yeah, I saw the cat slinking away on my 2nd viewing. It makes sense because as soon as Omar walks past Kenard he would have let the cat go free so he could go retrieve his gun and go after Omar.

When you think about it, it’s such a cool little detail for them to include.

Dude, I am going to be in Austin for the finale.

I saw the cat and thought that was Kenard the first time (and that’s a true story straight out of The Corner IIRC). Second viewing confirmed it.

OK, now how old is Kenard? And who here wants him capped regardless of how old he is?

wasn’t serious Ashley.

And the cat appears to get away. You see it exit the alley at the same time Omar does. Either that, or there’s another cat in the alley that’s gettin’ the hell away from Kenard.
