So last nite was the last time we will ever see a new episode of The Wire. Which means a lot some of us probably did not get a lot of work done today as we were scouring the web for answers, commentary and general reminiscing.

I’ll have a ton of links later tonight here and over at newdaycoop.blogspot.com, but in the meantime I wanted to post MY top 15 moments. Off the top of my head so it’s a bit sloppy and fuck if I can remember much from season 3. To limit the amount of time I would spend on this I decided to list 3 moments from each 5 seasons.

Spoilers ahead.

Season One

- The time Herc, Carver and Prez go to the Towers to start shit only to have the towers fight back with televisions thrown out the window. This was my first “Holy Crap, this show is awesome moment.”

- Waylon’s speech during the N.A. meeting.

- Bodie and Poot take out Wallace. Man, I grimaced as Wallace begged those guys not to do him like that.

Season Two

- Ziggy and Frank’s earnest talk down by the docks

- Cheese Wagstaff throwing Ziggy on the car

- Ziggy’s heartfelt speech to his father after his arrest.

Guess who my favorite character from Season 2 was?

Season 3

-Kima and McNulty, believing that they saw Beattie, decide to chase her car through the streets of Baltimore

-The Omar and Brother Mouzone showdown.

- The throwaway moment in the gay bar revealing a major character is gay.

Season 4

- Naymond taking a whopping from his Dragonlady mom and realizes he’s not his father’s son.

- The classroom boxcutter incident.

- Bodie gets got. Shit, he was such a good kid too. Oh wait, he did Wallace in, remember? Yeah, he got what he deserved

Season 5

- Clay Davis’s miraculous courtroom victory

- Omar - Spiderman shit

- After a meeting with some bigtime money players, Marlo goes back to the streets to ensure his name is still his name.

Hopefully some of you will post some shit down there in the hole.
