lol at people still hatin after I have spoken.
The Barksdale operations being deleted is not a bad thing, it's actually a testament to reality (which is awesome), and flows with the theme of changing it up (which is also awesome). As much as I love String, I am glad he's gone since it's good writing, but also since the battle between Omar and Marlo is as close to perfection as we could hope for.
All the complaints about this season being too off the wall or boring or whatever are also misguided. New things tend to take time to settle, and, asfaict, as somebody who complains more about contrivances in cinema than anybody you know, there is barely any contrivance in the McNutty/Lester business. It's gonna be awesome seeing where it goes. I would prefer to see them go to jail or something since it falls so well in line with the Greek tragedy model of The Wire, but they'll probably just frame Marlo and everybody will go home happy blah blah blah.
And yes, The Bunk is the man.
