ppl on twt just realized fruit was selling off cutty’s pack & lied saying avon/the barksdales was taking corners in order to instigate the war btwn marlo & avon in s4… slim charles was so insane for saying ‘if the war’s based off the lie then u fight off that lie” [the folly, the hubris of youth!] but avon just break my wooden heart when hes like he dont even care bout the corners or none of that no more, string was right mane.. [but went all about it the wrong way] avon knows its a lie but he dont wanna even fight no more..thats why hes so moved when cutty tell him the game aint in him no more cuz avon feels the same but is in way too deep to ever call it quits.. avon asking cutty in that uncertain shaky voice “then what the fuck else you gone do” but letting cutty go and be at peace to start anew at life cuz avon all life ever since he was a little boy the master of the corners is what he was raised to want to be but hes literally in a predicament where death or prison [yet again] are his only two options oh my god avon barksdale💔💔💔💔💔

I've been reading articles where showrunners discuss turning Sauron into a "Walter White" or a "Tony Soprano" complex baddie.

Supposedly this is the story these 2 fucking morons think we want. Think we missed in season 1. Think would make the story more like Milton...

Howzabout making the story more like JRRT? If they want to hijack another shows complex bad guy - why not Marlo Stanfield or Stringer Bell from "The Wire"? Or Hannibal? Voldemort? JR Ewing? If they're going to steal why not steal a real, chewy, delicious villain?

Maybe have Sauron/Annatar make the one ring in a dismal camper in the desert (wearing only a mask/tighty-whiteys)? Or have him make the one ring in the basement of the Bada-Bing Club or in the Jersey Pine Barrens?

They had 8 hours to grab us in the 1st season and failed. By now Jeff Bezos knows he gave a billion bucks to the worst people possible. He knows that he didn't get the new subscriptions or merchandise sales he needed to make this break even. He sees how many critics went from hot rave reviews to lukewarm or cold by the season finale.

Oh well. These things happen.

 “He that breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom.” — Gandalf

Or, as the Lord of Invisibility says so eloquently:

 “But do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know.” - Celeborn

I now believe in the "Infinite Monkey Theorem" - only instead of writing Shakespeare, they're writing "Rings of Power" scripts.

it’s sad how people are kind of super dumb in this way and often times in unison…

as the wise words of marlo stanfield once spoke, “you want it to be one way. but it’s the other way.”

The Wire S3

Season 2 was missing the gangster aspect, that city aspect that I felt was much more engaging. Season 3 doubles down on that aspect, as a gang war erupts between the Stanfield and Barksdale organizations.

We see a lot of the other side as well - police work is up heavy in this season, as Bunny Colvin runs a little experiment with Hamsterdam. Avon Barksdale returns, and while it is brief, he definitely reinforces his legacy as the best drug kingpin shown in The Wire.

Stringer Bell exits the show gracefully, as his arrogance catches up to him in the form of two men he tried to play. That episode - E11, Middle Ground, is a true masterpiece.

There's this one scene that Avon and Stringer share that is just depressing - they are on a rooftop, looking over the city which they basically run. The exchange is awkward, and you can tell that both know that this is the end and it came because of the other.

The relationship between these two is a focal point of the season, as it is what brings the fall of Barksdale - it's not Marlo or McNulty - it's the growing rift between gangster and businessman.

In particular, it's Stringer's fault. As Avon says, Stringer is a man without a country - not hard enough for the gangsters and "maybe, just maybe, not smart enough for them out there."

In the end, both shortcomings catch up to him, be it Clay Davis playing him or him being killed.

Season 3 feels like a true continuation to the first, and for that, I love it.

Unfortunately, what Season 3 lacks is the depth that the previous two had. Sure, some episodes had it, but it wasn't consistent in the way 1 and 2 were. This season seemed to prioritize engaging plot lines and characters, and didn't quite strike the balance.

9/10
