WIRE BABEZ POLL (dudes edition)

Like when he hears Garrison Keilor on the radio and does that confused puppy expression

if wallace had been allowed to growed up he woulda been cuet

"Hamilton? He wasn't no mufuckin president!"

do chicks who watch the show like McNulty?

i like to look at him, definitely. as a character I find him sort of impossible.

Bodie kind of looks like Mos Def to me.

what no he doesn't.

I don't mean that the writers expect us to forget it, just personally I was never able to see how he could get from being basically a sociopath in the earliest episodes to where he ended up.

that would probably be because you're in your 20s, haven't met a whole lot of people who work for a living, and are a long way out from real life

and besides that, if you actually watched the show, you may have heard of this other character, I believe he was referred to as cutty

oh this thread is only for people who actually watched the show? my bad.

string no question
bodie is cute. I couldn't believe how well bubbles cleaned up in the last few episodes. also, Slim charles ++++ for that voice

I wish they took 3/4 of McNulty stories out and spent more time on D, Cutty, Slim, Prop Joe, a bunch of other characters

why you gotta hate mcnulty so bad

bubbles looking good cleaned up not at all shocking if you have ever seen a pic of andre royo.

I liked McNulty in s1, but by s3 he is really just an insufferable asshole.

the babez poll was way easier. :/

Daniels's body looks kind of weird and alien-like to me.

he's kind of praying mantis-y.

so i'm alone in my method man lust?

i love method man in general! i think they kind of toned down how hot he is somehow so he would be believably Cheese, though.

his teeth are WAY too white!

here is my list, i haven't voted yet

hot:
stringer
cutty
carver
mcnutty
daniels

cute:
bunk
freamon
prez
nicky, i guess

carcetti is pretty gross and weasely -- in looks and character

also, when he gets down, you know he rocks that dress shirt/boxers/pulled-up black socks "washington quickie" look.

instant DQ!

carver is so pretty in a sort of generic way that it makes him less interesting to me. carcetti has a boyish-good-looks thing going on that bores me.

i am in awe of daniels' body. many ppl that work out crazy amounts end up looking overmuscly or just icky, but holy SHIT daniels is doing something right with exercise.

also v nice looking -- state's attorney rupert bond. dozerman.

I think daniels is kind of robotic

yeah, Bond is a good call. bless this show; so many goodlooking men.

agreed on rupert.

and agreed on the men thing - they're SO much better looking than the women for the most part.

well to be fair there's probably several times more men in the cast than women -- it wasn't hard to put together my poll and fit in almost every recurring female character.

daniels also sounds like a movie trailer narrator

his commercial makes me wanna buy a cadillac.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Bodie is pretty cute.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

surprised by the lack of love for cutty here

hey prez got a vote!!

man, I thought Lester would win this (or at least be neck and neck w/ Stringer)

stringer is just a tru specimen though

Lester is an attractive character and Clarke Peters is a good-looking man, but I would have been shocked by anyone but Stringer winning. Idris Elba is ridiculous. the person who voted for Wee-Bey is otm, also.

bodie, who knew?

bodie is super cute, also funny, I would have voted for him if string wasn't on the show. but.. yeah, idris --> unbelievably hot. just saying.

i have been re-watching season 1 and i would like to swap Cutty out of my top five and put Bunk in his place. i wish Wendell Pierce would be cast in many, many things.

He's working on a Simon pilot w/ Lester!!!!

wow thank you for making my week, Dave R!

From a New York Magazine blog (because the Hollywood Report article won't appear in my browser):

Simon Goes to the Treme: David Simon has begun casting his HBO pilot, Treme, and he's recruited The Wire veterans Wendell Pierce and Clarke Peters to play New Orleans residents struggling to rebuild after Katrina. Khandi Alexander will join them as the owner of a bar, having finally escaped the vile sunglasses of CSI: Miami. wandered the foothills of California for over fifteen years since leaving NewsRadio.

oh wow.

Wendell Pierce's story in When the Levees Broke about how his dad's insurance company fucked him over after Katrina is heartbreaking.

also yay Khandi Alexander!

i would have happily watched a Homicide type Wire spin-off show with these two as main characters.

Having watched season five, please can I withdraw the love for Herc shown earlier on this thread? And replace it with Gus. kthx

STRINGER
I'm an XL.

DONETTE
No doubt.

oh wow.

Wendell Pierce's story in When the Levees Broke about how his dad's insurance company fucked him over after Katrina is heartbreaking.

No love for Syndor? Reminds me of one scene in season 5 which I found amusingly meta, when McNulty is talking to Sydnor about "when we were working on the docks case" and Sydnor was like, "uh, I wasn't on that detail". Poor guy always fading into the backdrop.

FWIW I would have voted for Carver, or maybe McNulty had this poll been set before the 4th season. Stringer was undeniably hot though. Us female viewers & the gays were blessed.
