My Growing sadness...p

*** I did my best to avoid spoilers of the wire 5, which is challenging, and I'm kind of resentful anyway since i was accidentally told what happens to Omar and accidentally read what happens to Chris***

... continues to grow as I progress past the midpoint of the wire season 5 and final. Yes, in large part because I know this is the end, but that's not it completely. I can watch it all over again , and have no doubts about this being the exact sort of  show/film where one can potentially be missing all kinds of shit in many an episode, so watch overs are a definite.  Another large part of my deep sadness results from what is happening on the show. Season 4 = heartbreaker. sooooo fucking sad. I think seas

on 5 may kill me. OK, not really, but my broken heart is being stepped upon, for sure, mostly by Marlo who I hope more than anything gets his head blown off, sometime soon. It's different, as season 4 was all about the shorties, as meatwad would say. Nothing too horrendous has befallen the young folks yet, it's all of the old heads who are finding themselves in all sorts of undesirable scenarios , and it's the younger generation, namely Marlo, who is simply a monster, responsible. It's really freaking sad too me. I really like these old guys. Even if they are all wrapped up in the game and perpetuating all that goes with it, they had a much more respectable way of handling things and to see them go down is well, such a downer. I tried to avoid any spoilers in describing my emotional plummet that is the wire, and believe i basically succeeded. 

 Here's the other element. this bitch right here: 

 

I once loved me some McNulty. The boyish good looks, "poofy hair", and disregard for asshole authority figures and all other authority in general. Season 5 reveals McNulty to be less of the man I expected him to be, which was really not that much of an expectation as I've seen his Irish drunken whore-ness. It's not really the big moral shortcomings that have turned me anyway, it was a little something. His handling of the mentally ill homeless gentleman in I believe episode 5. Again I won't go into any spoilers on the plot, I will just say this. Any decent human being would have helped "Donald" eat his bread. 

No one person can solve the problem of homelessness or cure the mentally ill with their good will but for fuck's sake, McNulty pick up the fucking bread and help the man who you're using to majorly help you, you dick.

 I'm going to take a wild guess here that no one else, in the wire watching world, was as bothered by this scene as I. I am a weirdo, although most viewers probably found the whole scene/ plot of that part to be damn depressing. I don't know what it is, perhaps a culmination of McNulty's prickness from the rest of the season(s) thus far. But I wished I could reach into the screen slap him for his lack of decent human being- ness.
