☹ I nearly cried when Omar died. What the hell is wrong with me? ---

There’s nothing wrong with you. I didn’t cry for Omar, but I did cry for Prop Joe. And for someone in season two, and again in three and four. Not just the first time I watched either. (Trying not to spoil those seasons for folks who might be catching up.) ---

Since the crying thing is being brought up here, I’ll post this too. I was too stunned to cry for Omar; in fact, I usually watch Sunday night’s episode a half hour later but don’t remember doing so because I kept thinking about Omar’s death and couldn’t decide if I was sad, angry, relieved (at least I knew his end) or what. I also cried a little for Reginald (can’t call him Bubbles here), for the long road he traveled and his dignity at the meeting; and for Michael, who got away in the end but had to leave behind the two people he was able to love. ---

[QUOTE=Morbo] I had NOT heard that. If true I would go berserk. I guess we’ll see Monday… [/QUOTE] BLARG!!! There’s an entry for Episode 60 On Demand…that says “The Wire Season Finale will start Monday, March 10, on HBO On Demand.” I need my fix! ::rocks slowly, hugging self:: ---

You might feel better after watching [this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGXWUniLCZc) – the HBO promo for episode 9. No spoilers in the video, unless you consider previews to be spoilers. ---

Is the final episode going to be a double episode or a standard length? ---

The final episode is supposed to run about 90 minutes. And it won’t be “On Demand.” Everybody has to wait until Sunday. The final episode is titled, fittingly, “30.” ---
