End of Season 1 and all of 2 Jimmy is harbor/port patrol. I recall Jimmy was also asked where he didn't want to go, by Rawls or Burrell. Did Jimmy tell him he didn't want to go on a boat? If so, why? He knew what would happen. Is McNulty just encapable of not kicking against the pricks?
    No, the sergeant in homicide told Rawls where Jimmy really didn't want to go as payback.

      Right, it was Landsman. But I'm trying to remember how Landsman got that info. I think Jimmy was still just careless by giving up that info to Landsman. The only dude that should have known where Jimmy least wanted to go was Bunk.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        From Wiki:

        Initial suspicions are confirmed when Landsman admits to McNulty it was him who informed Rawls as to where he didn't want to be re-stationed. He learned of this while being present when McNulty discussed it early in season one.

        I don't recall the scene from season one.

          I remember the feeling I had, not the scene itself. I remember thinking "you shouldn't have said that, not with Landsman around." In other words.... foreshadowing.

          • Baltimore's Police Commissioner has labeled "The Wire" a "smear that will take decades to overcome." David Simon responded (and how!).

              this coming from the leader of an organization that shoots its own.

              • Only two more episodes to go in Season 3. It's crazy how Simon can create these characters out of thin air each season and have you eating out of their hands (Sabotka and Nicky in Season 2; Colvin and Cutty in Season 3). I'm excited to see how this one plays out.

                • Well, I'm finished. And I'm spent. What an exhausting emotional roller coaster. I think Season 2 was my favorite, though season 4 is a close second. I'm not completely in love with how the series ended, but I can live with it. I think they needed a few more episodes to flesh out the new roles filled by the characters, but they did the best they could on a shortened season. All in all, the best TV series i've ever watched, and it's not close.

                        Yes. But how do you really compare a sit-com to The Wire? Arrested development was a great sit-com

                          You try and make your point with an article that puts Lost in the Top Anything of All Time?

                          Arrested Development is in my Top Ten, along with Rome, Northern Exposure, and M*A*S*H before it got all preachy.

                              Actually, I was just making a joke. To put Arrested Development above The Wire seemed ridiculous to me.

                                Funny. My wife and I are presently slogging through "Lost". I find myself dreading the episodes and falling asleep most 2 out of 3 nights. It's really not that bad, but it's not something I love.
