DAY 239: Dear The Wire.

Dear The Wire,

Please forgive me for stopping halfway through your final season to get caught up on BSG.

It’s not that I like BSG more than you… but their final season is now on the air and for once, I wanted to be able to start watching it before my wondering eye got the better of me and read all the spoilers.

But now I’m back to you. Full time. Ready to savor your last few episodes and then go into a deep, dark depression after I have no more of you.

I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far this season, but can I just make a few request?

1. Bring Prez back. Even if it’s just for one episode. I miss him.

2. Let those kids have a happy ending! I know this show is more concerned with reality than fluff… but please, don’t let Michael kill anyone. Or be killed. He looks so angry these days!

3. Let Bubbles have a happy ending! I’m so glad that he’s clean. But he’s no better off because of it. Once again, I know that’s real life on the streets, and not Hollywood life on the streets… but come one, Bubs deserves a little peace after all he’s been through.

4. Jimmy and Beadie. Okay, I know there’s no way these two are gonna have a happy ending together. But I can’t stand to see Jimmy treat Beadie like shit! Let them at least reconcile. Also, give Amy Ryan more dialogue. She’s an Oscar-nominated actress!

5. Please resurrect yourself and come back for a 6th season.

That’s all.

xoxo,
B

P.S. If I don’t make it all the way through the episode I plan to start watching tonight… don’t take it personally. I’m just tried from the long run to went on tonight. Also, before I start watching tonight’s episode, I’m going to have to devote a good 20 minutes to reading online recaps for the episodes I already saw this season, but may have forgotten everything that went on. That’s what you get for being a smart, intelligent series with 100’s of characters, that doesn’t dumb anything down for it’s viewers and can’t be bothered with recaps at the beginning of it’s episodes.
