This is a Donut appreciation post. Donut was brilliantly cast & such a brilliant role player type character. A lot of us grew up having a friend like Donut - that dude who was a little wild, but had zero haters and everybody liked. He completed the Boys of Summer crew

I grew up listening to Pac. Looking at the totality of his body of work, knowing he died at 25!
To accomplish all that he did in such a short time…

There is a quality, a dignity, a presence about Wendell Pierce that he brings to every single role that is truly unique. There is a power in his acting… where every time he smiled in a scene I found myself smiling too.

20th anniversary (2022) calendar put out by HBO. I definitely would make a couple changes re which characters got a month. Wire fans, which 12 characters would you give a month to? Boys of Summer can all be on 1 month

Avon summed up Stringer so brilliantly, so succinctly…. he pierced String’s ego to the point that String broke down & confessed to something that he previously didn’t want in Avon’s ear at all. 1 of my favorite scenes! Ep written by DS & the great Richard Price. S3E8

Jim Brown has a pretty solid argument as the greatest football player of all-time. Amazingly, he has even better claim on being the greatest lacrosse player of all-time. He was actually so fucking good at lacrosse they changed the rules of the goddamn game.

Pick any episode of

so I’ll highlight S1E6 “The Wire.” I especially appreciate the D’Angelo/Wallace scenes.

Name a great episode from a TV Show.

Jesus and the Disinherited is one of my favorites. Along with Night. These also: fire next time, the prophetic imagination, the hidden wound, the luminous darkness

@Ziggys_Duck
Avon & String scenes are the best.
“Now there’s got to be a middle ground here that we have yet to find.”
No middle ground for Hamsterdam. No middle ground for String.
Middle Ground is epic television.
Love how they made us sit w/Avon here. Avon bled red.

Rest well 💔. This is a gut punch. An incredible actor. I know he was much more than his work on
#TheWire
but I’ve been living with his character on this show for 20 yrs. His character was a consistent & and grounding presence. An incredible loss.

When you see how long the camera stays w/Mike - The Wire made you sit with these characters for real. They didn’t rush anything. Brilliant.
Also, if I see Chris & Snoop staring at me & one of them is holding a weaved basket holding a power tool and a 5 gal bucket…

Winters kill off the weaker varieties of caterpillars. And leave a caterpillar that’s of an entirely different breed from what you’ll ever find out here…
That’s prob a DS metaphor for the whole season.. unencumbered capitalism killing off the working class. Prob the streets too

Thank you! I read through Chris Wright’s book, To The Cross, every Holy Week and read this today: “Never separate the Father and the Son in your understanding of the cross. They were as one in Christ’s death as they were one in his life.”
