My reaction too. Loved me some Bodie, he was a street soldier, but in having decided/fell into being a street soldier, he decided to be the best street soldier he could be, and when it was time to go, he went out like a soldier. (Not glorifying crime or lack of education, just recognizing a man doing the best he could with the choices he thought he had.)
I wish there was a way for each person to see the list in a different order when they click in so there’s no bias created by certain people getting votes just by always appearing at the top.
Marlo is TERRIFYING. Omar is presented in the show as being a major badass, but Marlo Stanfield is vastly, vastly more badass. Oh, Omar’s got a code and he’s got style and he’s pretty cool when he comes whistling “The Farmer In The Dell,” but Marlo Stanfield might well be the scariest, most thoroughly evil villain in the history of television. He is cunning, intelligent, and completely, totally psychopathic. He ends up defeating Bell, Barksdale et al. because he is the ultimate evolution of the criminal mastermind, a machine without remorse or conscience.
Jamie Hector played the scariest villain I’ve ever seen on a TV show. He was scarier than all the Cylons put together. If that doesn’t get a vote, my oh my.
He made my list. He was in just 7 episodes, but he made an impression – maybe because he was so different. Some of Omar’s shine rubs off on him too – their “showdown” scene is very memorable. “I see you favor a .45.”
Exactly. The “Gunfight at the OK Corral” came to mind as well as dozens of other westerns. Most recent one of that stature was Kevin Kline and Brian Dennehy in Silverado.
Once these polls close it will be fun to find anybody with a better ratio of episodes to votes than Bro Mouzone. He got my vote.
