I sometimes wonder what I would look like if I went back to a coliccio haircut
answer: insane
you know, sydnor never really stood out, did he? he was always just kind of a good dude who did his job.
sorry, Tom, I don't really get the Sobotkas. aesthetically, I mean; I love season 2!
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 22:47 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, nick is kind of afflecky.
― Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Colicchio + 20 years + 100 pounds = HORSEFACE
Think about it.

I was going to vote for Herc :-(
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 22:49 (sixteen years ago) link
thanks for getting me over that disgusting crush, Dave R!
xp okay clearly i really fucked up on the Herc front; sorry Herc-lovers!
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 22:49 (sixteen years ago) link
i support the exclusion of herc - hes repulsive
― jhøshea, Thursday, 20 March 2008 22:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Ziggy was hot like fire, he needs respect on this poll dudes
― Drew Daniel, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Herc is more of a man than Carver could ever hope to be!
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:16 (sixteen years ago) link
String is my back-up option though (with Daniels a close third).
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:20 (sixteen years ago) link
daniels is a scary android
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:20 (sixteen years ago) link
It's the way he walks.
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:22 (sixteen years ago) link
he needs a sandwich, but he's hardly an android!

hey did any of the ladies here ever get a gander at carver on oz? might wanna check it out before you vote.
― balls, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:24 (sixteen years ago) link
when he got nekkid in season 3 he was so lean and ripped I was kind of terrified. he looks kind of like a "dudes edition" of a masamune shirow pin-up
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:25 (sixteen years ago) link
(referring to daniels)
I think there are, like, two ladies here, but Carver's in my top five! I've never seen Oz.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link
carver gets points for starship troopers as well
― omar little, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link
McNulty gets less attractive as the seasons go on (I'm currently midway through s3).
xpost No, but Carver looks pretty ropey here
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link
where the hell are marlo and chris?????????????????
― max, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link
okay, i admit this was kind of bullshit of me but I HATE Marlo and his awful dead eyes so I left him off. I guess Chris is kind of nice-looking. whatever, guys, let's just all vote for Stringer Bell.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link
OK top 5:
Herc String Daniels Bodie Carcetti (I know, I know, very wrong, must be the power thing...)
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:31 (sixteen years ago) link
marlo's like a dude version of tina fey
― balls, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:31 (sixteen years ago) link
ha, Meg, I have an embarrassing Carcetti thing, too!

― omar little, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Carcetti is less embarrassing than Colicchio <snurk>
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:34 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, Dozerman's cute. i suck at making polls, guys!
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link
loling at all the hetero guy-on-guy crushes here, but if theres any show that would engender that, its this one.
btw
1) Stringer 2) Chris 3) Carv
― max, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:36 (sixteen years ago) link
dozermans chick is hot too
everybody sucks at making polls, don't sweat it horseshoe
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:36 (sixteen years ago) link
the super-comprehensive polls always only get like 8 votes total and any other kind of that has more than two options always gets "where's option x!?!?" posts, even after the results
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:37 (sixteen years ago) link
also is there no prez love? the dude is such a sweet guy
― max, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:38 (sixteen years ago) link
i love Prez! especially love that he ended up being so lovable given that i hated him when he first showed up!
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:39 (sixteen years ago) link
i know his story arc has more redemption in it that anyone elses
― max, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:39 (sixteen years ago) link
<3 <3 bearded teacher prez in season 5
― max, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Sweet yes, sexy? uh-uh (not so far anyway!)
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:40 (sixteen years ago) link
he's a nice-looking young man. i guess he's no Herc, though.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Also Johnny if he cleaned up, would be pretty cute...
― Meg Busset, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:41 (sixteen years ago) link
also dude horseshoe... bunny colvin?
― max, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:42 (sixteen years ago) link
shit. Bunny is a genuine oversight. I don't really think he's a babe, but I meant to include him.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 20 March 2008 23:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I am very literal-minded!
hahaha im not disappointed in u

hey prez got a vote!!
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 27 March 2008 00:22 (sixteen years ago) link
man, I thought Lester would win this (or at least be neck and neck w/ Stringer)
― milo z, Thursday, 27 March 2008 00:25 (sixteen years ago) link
stringer is just a tru specimen though
― omar little, Thursday, 27 March 2008 00:33 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 27 March 2008 04:03 (sixteen years ago) link
bodie, who knew?
― Jordan, Thursday, 27 March 2008 04:25 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― daria-g, Thursday, 27 March 2008 04:50 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― horseshoe, Monday, 11 August 2008 23:36 (fifteen years ago) link
He's working on a Simon pilot w/ Lester!!!!
― David R., Tuesday, 12 August 2008 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― David R., Tuesday, 12 August 2008 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
also yay Khandi Alexander!
i would have happily watched a Homicide type Wire spin-off show with these two as main characters.
― rockapads, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Having watched season five, please can I withdraw the love for Herc shown earlier on this thread? And replace it with Gus. kthx
― Meg Busset, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
STRINGER I'm an XL.

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.
