of int to me at end of Season 1 finale Sentencing:

why did McNulty say "What'd I do?" at trial? ~it's his catchphrase, ok, so overall this season, this case, what did he do? what happened? ~ put away a good guy D'Angelo for 20 years & Avon only for 3-4 and the business going on as usual with Stringer at helm

what happens to D'Angelo? oh. killed in prison on order of Stringer, made to look like suicide, without Avon knowing. but Stringer eventually tells.

signif of ending w Omar? (tht at first it was Omar's introduction but no) "all in the game"


Street level characters of The Wire - Wkp #Brother_Mouzone
Brother Mouzone is a hitman from New York. "The Brother" does not fit the usual picture of a hitman, always wearing a suit, bowtie, and glasses, speaking politely, and reading magazines such as Harper's, Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, and The Nation. He dresses and acts in a manner typically associated with the Nation of Islam, more particularly its military wing, the Fruit of Islam, but is never specified to belong to either (usually anti-drug) organization. (Though he reveals himself as a Muslim by mouthing "Allah akbar" repeatedly after Omar shoots him, when he believes he is about to die.) He is always accompanied by his bodyguard Lamar.
Stringer duped Omar Little into believing that Mouzone was responsible for the brutal murder of Omar's boyfriend Brandon.
After Omar confronted Mouzone and shot him, he realized that he was tricked and called the ambulance for Brother Mouzone himself.
In season three, Mouzone returned to Baltimore to search for Omar. He located Omar's boyfriend Dante with advice from Baltimore local Vinson. Mouzone beat Dante until he revealed Omar's whereabouts. After he tracked Omar down he suggested that they team up to kill Stringer Bell. Avon gave Mouzone a time and a place to find Stringer, realizing it was the only way to satisfy Mouzone's vengeance. Omar and Mouzone planned an ambush and killed Stringer together. Before returning to New York, Mouzone released Dante and gave Omar his weapon to dispose of. as sign of trust?

Marlo Stanfield - Wkp: At the end of season 3, Avon was arrested for parole violation, weapons charges and drug crimes. Marlo and Chris attended his sentencing hearing. Avon acknowledges Marlo; thus conceding that the crown has been passed.

Street level characters of The Wire #Johnny_Weeks: In season one Johnny is Bubbles' best friend. In the pilot episode he is beaten nearly to death by Bodie Broadus, Poot Carr and other dealers after trying to pass counterfeit money to D'Angelo Barksdale's operation; this spurs Bubbles to become a police informant.
While in the hospital for that beating, Johnny discovers he is HIV positive. In the season three finale he dies from an overdose and his partially rat-eaten body is discovered in a vacant house in the 'Hamsterdam' free zone that Major Colvin had set up.
Johnny is based on a young white homeless addict that David Simon met while researching The Corner. This man would follow Simon's subject, drug addict Gary McCullough, around.

Bubbles (The Wire) - Wkp:
Bubbles was the nickname of a real police informant, whose name has not been made public at the request of his family. The real Bubbles was noted as having an incredible memory for faces, and was often very helpful in pointing out drug dealers to police. David Simon met with him twice shortly before his death from AIDS, intending to write an article about him. He ended up turning it into an obituary.
in Season3: Johnny died by overdose in one of Major Howard "Bunny" Colvin's "Hamsterdam" zones. By season's end, Bubbles was selling white t-shirts discarded by Marlo Stanfield's crew. It was in doing so that he met a young homeless kid named Sherrod, whom Bubbles took on as his new friend and protégé.
in Season4: Bubbles has become the daily victim of another street addict, who robs him and beats him up. In an effort to get rid of this daily assault, Bubbles concocts a 'hot shot' of heroin and sodium cyanide that he supposes will be stolen from him by the vagrant and then consumed by him. However on the day after he prepares the 'hot shot' he does not see the vagrant and falls asleep. Sherrod uses the tainted drugs while Bubbles sleeps and Bubbles awakes to find that Sherrod has died. Romeo & Juliet. Consumed by guilt and grief, Bubbles confesses his actions to the police. Sergeant Jay Landsman sees that the death was unintentional and decides, despite the climbing homicide rate, to send Bubbles to a psychiatric facility at a state hospital rather than charge Bubbles with murder.
in Season5: Bubbles has been clean for over a year. He is living in his sister's basement and selling The Baltimore Sun to make money. His Narcotics Anonymous sponsor is Walon.

Street level characters of The Wire #Walon: Walon is an HIV-positive recovering drug addict. He first appears in season one when Bubbles and Johnny see him speaking at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. Bubbles' conversations with Walon help him realise that he wants to get clean. When he makes a serious attempt, Walon gives him advice on keeping clean, which Bubbles is unable to stick with. Years later, when Bubbles is locked in a medical rehab facility, Walon visits him to again help him with his sobriety and grief. In later episodes, it is revealed that Walon has become Bubbles' sponsor.
Walon is played by singer/songwriter and recovering heroin addict Steve Earle. huh. cool. himself the beautiful boy at Guy Clark's holiday table singing Mercenary song (that he wrote I think?) "I'll fight for no country but I'll die for good pay."
and the character's name ~ no connection to Waylon Jennings I guess ~
Earle also performs the theme song for Season 5.
The Wire (TV series) # Season_4: September 2006, The Wire returned for a fourth season, expanding its scope to include an examination of the school system.
