Please don't give anything away! I just saw Episode 3 the other night. The scene with Butchie is nuts.

I actually said, "Oh my gawd!" outloud. Craziness.

Can't wait to see E4.

Oh, I wouldn't spoil anything. Just saying that its a really good episode. I was mainly just curious if anyone else is watching them early.

And yeah that scene with butchie was nuts.

Herc came into the restaurant I work at, last night. I was not there, but my cousin (the owner) got to chat with him.

Most of those guys seem to keep tabs with the local Baltimore Police. Seems to keep the show real.

Wonder if they give back to the community. It really needs it. :|

I know they raise a lot of money for that Ella Thompson foundation. I remember reading that somewhere recently. Its some sort of charity for the city.

Anyone still watching this? Jedi? ytown?

Just caught EP-9 last night. Shit screwed with my head all day. Can't wait to see how they end it all.

Best show evar! :-D :-o :evil:

The scene with Duke, Mike, and Bugs really got to me. Knowing that Duke might be the next "Bubbles". Sadness all around.

"How's my hair look, Mike?"

"You look good, girl." :-o

Great episode. I found some dark humor in that line. Given how she's the most non girly girl, her last line was asking how her hair looked. And seeing duke and bugs last scenes were really hard to watch. There two characters on the show that actually don't deserve anything bad.

Felicia Pearson and Gbenga Akinnagbe (Snoop and Chris Partlow) have been doing radio interviews all week. I heard some cool stories this morning.

Can't wait for Sunday. One of my buddies is having a "last episode" party. :-D

I'm stoked as well, but sad to see it go, just like all the good hbo shows....guess it's better to go out on top before you jump the shark....

Anyone see the last episode?

They did a great job of wrapping up any loose ends. Hope people aren't pissed, like the last Sopranos. :roll:

I thought it was great. It was kinda sad seeing Dukie become the next bubbles, and Micheal become the next Omar. But, bubbles had a good ending which was nice. It was also nice to see McNulty and Freemon get away without going to jail. The montage at the end was a nice way to wrap it all up.
