I've to wait till tonight to watch the full reaction 😭😭😭 But the wait will be worth it!

Off topic but can I bribe you with a cute drawing of Killua or something to get more than one scary movie reaction for this Halloween?

This is probably my favorite season of this show (and among my favorite for TV in general), which is pretty remarkable considering it has some of the most vile characters ever put to screen. Officer Walker, Officer Colicchio, Naymond's mother, Herc (with minor parts for Lt. Marimow, the man that preys on Bubbs, the superintendent of schools, and Bug's father). It's basically a perfect season of television and it feels like I hate nearly half the cast lmao

It’s incredible really that such a brutal moment makes Chris seem more human. Even Snoop was taken aback by his sheer brutality. It's testament to the writing and acting performances. Michael was ashamed to say what Bug’s dad (Devar) did to him but Chris figured it out straight away. No dialogue involved. Brilliant. I was never sure whether Chris was sexually abused at home, in prison or elsewhere. Watching it with you I’m now convinced it happened in prison. Partly because he acknowledged Devar’s comment about what some men need to do in prison to meet their sexual needs, but more interestingly because of the brief conversation where Naymond reveals to Carver his fears about being raped in baby booking. It’s not directly related to Chris’ story but I suspect it’s the writers subtle and indirect way of planting the seed of what may have happened to Chris in the prison system. And you’re right to worry about Naymond - either he’ll be dead in a few years or he’ll end up in jail and probably face the same humiliation and abuse that Chris likely endured.

I agree it's not clear about where Chris might have been abused, but I still think it was something at a young age for 2 reasons: as an adult he's a pretty decent physical size and thus more likely to be able to defend himself, and also it would have been a key factor in explaining how he ended up how he is now (remorseless murderer).

Same, I suspect it was when he was a juvenile in the justice system.

It is so refreshing to finally see people who not only understand the meaning and full emotional impact of Chris killing Bug's dad, but also have the shock over Chris's outburst and the satisfaction of the guy's death completely overpowered by sadness for Chris

Michael’s storyline is so beautifully written and yet so tragic. I love the subtle writing, where majority of the time they are showing us not telling us. Like they never flat out say it, but his body language, the distrust of overly friendly males like Cutty, it all tells a story and then we get hit with Chris’s reaction to it all and things get even more sad and tragic. I love Milena’s love for Namond and how she didn’t expect to love him as much as she does because I was the same way. It took a minute for me to warm up to Namond as well but after seeing who his mother was, everything started to make sense and I just wanted to protect him. He acts tough because he believes that’s how he should be but he is honestly the sweetest kid and I love how Bunny is starting to see through the charade with him. Seriously what kind of Mother gets mad at her 14 year old son for being scared to go into Junior lockup??!! She’s awful. RIP to Little Kevin, he really didn’t deserve what happened to him. It also never fails to make me smile just to see how gentle Carver has become with handling kids, like Prez, he technically should not be around children again after the things he’s done but for plot purposes, I just love to see it, lol.

When Namond talks about not wanting to go to baby booking, the way he looks so scared... These young boys did such a fantastic job acting, it's so hard to believe you're not just watching reality itself unfold. Then again, in many ways, we are...

You are great at speculating. Lola basically predicted the Michael story line starting from 4.2. For the second episode in a row, you both end your outro with very sad faces. At the risk of saying a sexist “Smile!”, perhaps do very fake happy faces as your ending. 😀 (and what other reactors read the fucking “No Child Left Behind’ legislation as part of their presentation. Jeez.) You guys rock.

The director of the episode on that last scene: "We moved the real actor out and moved the dummy in. The editorial staff, they didn’t see the change, because the dummy looked that much like the real actor. All of a sudden, the foot is stomping him in the face and the mouth, and the head is jerking. The writers were freaking out because it looked like we were actually stomping the poor guy. It was a beautiful special effect. That articulated dummy that we made of him, it worked. Even they admitted that they had to cut down what I did. My cut was a little bit too much. I think it was longer with the stomping of the head. They shortened it. It was hard to watch."

34:42 OMG 😱 this just keeps going 😂😂 my favorite part of the reaction

Girls FYI the final episode of season 4 is 78 minutes long, in case you were planning to film the final two episodes in the same day I thought you'd appreciate the heads up.

Fun fact about Officer Walker, if you go back to season 2, when the police are about to make the bust with the prostitutes (when McNulty ended up having sex with them lol), Walker was the overzealous cop wanting them to bust down the door and Bunk told him to calm down.

The way characters both big and small weave in and out of seasons is insane, the attention to detail is like nothing else. The Wire is so special, truly.
