The Wire re-watch 2011: Spoilers

Season one, episode three.

Seems like every time somebody says almost anything this episode, it's a prophetic statement about one of the later seasons. Especially where D'angelo is teaching chess to the 'pawns' in the low-rises. And then you realize that no one at that chess board is going to live to see the end of the series. :(

Also noteworthy this episode is McNulty bullying the bad/lazy cops on the detail into doing their jobs for a brief, brief time.
That and McNulty is the last one to figure out Kima is gay. He's usually so smooth... or drunk. Or a little of both.

 All awesome bits I had completely forgotten about. Glad this show managed to get to five seasons.

Chuck & Sarah vs Themselves 34

New chapter is up, for those of you who have been patiently awaiting it.
And not so patiently, but that's really on me.

The link is here.

New frontier Chapter

Chapter 20, in which, things happen and Sarah tells Chuck her story. I'll probably delete the story Sarah vs the Frontier from FF.net when I can work up the nerve, as it's now a part of the story proper.

Linkage is here.

Also, a note on Chuck & Sarah vs Themselves: the current plan is for Chapter 40 to be the end, linking back up with events in Chuck & Sarah vs The Bunker. Everything through 36 is either in beta or ready for beta and the outline for the last four chapters is almost complete. I probably won't get to actually writing 37-40 until after my Thesis defense in March, but there should be enough stuff in the pipeline to fill that time, and further chapters of Frontier are lining up in my brain even as I write this post.
