what you think of season 2 so far?

Not as good as season 1, but still pretty strong.

I cant wait until Chud sees season 4.

I watched the first episode of season 3 this morning. Moving right along.

Can't even imagine how much you're glossing over.

I'd bet it's a good bit. Obviously I can't speak for Chud, but I watched the series twice, and I picked up on a lot I missed from the 1st round. Not like major plot points or anything, but the subtleties and whatnot. Things like noticing a minor character more, or them foreshadowing towards something that will happen. Also, I picked up on much more dialog and watched with subtitles.

I'm really sorry I'm not watching television the way Mickey would prefer.

one of the best things about The Wire is how you pick up new shit everytime you watch it. I think I've watched it straight through 3 or 4 times and it never feels played out.

Watch however you want, duder. But it's the same to me as if someone said, "Yeah, I read Ulysses in one sitting" or "Yeah, I did the Met in two hours." It's the most densely-packed show ever written, and it's one of the most enjoyable to watch. And sure, you can go back and watch it again, as I think everyone who watches The Wire will. But I think you miss a primary joy in jam-packing this thing.

I should note that I say this as someone who's seen three seasons of Breaking Bad in the last two weeks but whatever.

Actually, to be entirely honest, I decided long ago, based on your ridiculous food habits, to never agree with any of your choices.

Almost done with season 1. Put me in the camp that likes watching just 1 or 2 episodes a night.

I'm sort of excited to forget it so I can go back and watch it again.

I think I'm at that point now. Its been a few years since I've watched it. I've forgotten a lot already, which kinda excites me. Just seeing this thread pop up has made me really itchy to watch it again.

I haven't picked this back up since I went away on vacation. I'm going to fix that soon.
