Promos!
The Wire, as many regular readers have probably figured out, is something of an obsession around these parts. We spend hours watching it, discussing it, recommending it, contemplating the social ramifications, reading David Simon books, and getting flippant when people refuse to watch it (this is probably counterproductive) or misunderstand its intentions (it is quite fashionable for much of the series’ audience to misinterpret the show as some sort of glamorization of drug dealers…it’s not Scarface, assholes).
If you’re unaware of who they are, rest assured this is not a book club.
In short, it keeps us up at night. So when we arrived at work this morning and discovered they’ve released promotional trailers for the final season, our immediate reaction was regretting not having audio on our computer at work. But regardless of how tedious and obnoxious and unhealthy as it may seem, we’re going to link and devote a post to them. Yes, trailers. Mainly because we can’t think about anything else right now, but also, we don’t want to wing a recap of the ungodly Survivor clip show that almost made us quit reality television altogether.
So, without further ado, here are links to the following trailers. One for McNulty, Carcetti, Marlo and Omar. The last of which is probably the biggest tease of all. Particularly if you’re an Omar fan, and you we’re hoping to hear words come out of his mouth. Well, maybe they do, like we said, we don’t have any audio, but not much can really be said in twenty seconds anyways. In addition to the character specific promos, here’s a “from the set” clip that really wets our whistle. There are a lot of allegations and non-spoilers from the actors/show creators.
Honest to God, we think the release of these trailers are a good indication that we need to develop more of a social life, because while they aren’t the most exciting thing to happen to us in the past month, they are certainly on a short list. Whatever, we think there are worse ways to occupy our time.
Back with a recap of the pointless/asinine Survivor clip show after lunch.
