WIRE BABEZ POLL (dudes edition)

thanks for getting me over that disgusting crush, Dave R!

xp okay clearly i really fucked up on the Herc front; sorry Herc-lovers!

i support the exclusion of herc - hes repulsive

god i messed up the link to Lester. everyone knows what Lester looks like, right?

Ziggy was hot like fire, he needs respect on this poll dudes

Herc is more of a man than Carver could ever hope to be!

String is my back-up option though (with Daniels a close third).

daniels is a scary android

It's the way he walks.

he needs a sandwich, but he's hardly an android!

xpost

hey did any of the ladies here ever get a gander at carver on oz? might wanna check it out before you vote.

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

(referring to daniels)

I think there are, like, two ladies here, but Carver's in my top five! I've never seen Oz.

carver gets points for starship troopers as well

McNulty gets less attractive as the seasons go on (I'm currently midway through s3).

xpost No, but Carver looks pretty ropey here

where the hell are marlo and chris?????????????????

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.

OK top 5:

Herc
String
Daniels
Bodie
Carcetti (I know, I know, very wrong, must be the power thing...)

marlo's like a dude version of tina fey

ha, Meg, I have an embarrassing Carcetti thing, too!

waht

dozerman

Carcetti is less embarrassing than Colicchio <snurk>

yeah, Dozerman's cute. i suck at making polls, guys!

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

dozermans chick is hot too

everybody sucks at making polls, don't sweat it horseshoe

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

also is there no prez love? the dude is such a sweet guy

i love Prez! especially love that he ended up being so lovable given that i hated him when he first showed up!

i know his story arc has more redemption in it that anyone elses

<3 <3 bearded teacher prez in season 5

Sweet yes, sexy? uh-uh (not so far anyway!)

he's a nice-looking young man. i guess he's no Herc, though.

Also Johnny if he cleaned up, would be pretty cute...

also dude horseshoe... bunny colvin?

shit. Bunny is a genuine oversight. I don't really think he's a babe, but I meant to include him.

I am very literal-minded!

hahaha im not disappointed in u

well maybe a little

1) Stringer Bell

(space of reverence)

2)Wee Bey
3)Cutty
4)Carver
5)Carcetti

cutty has such bulgy eyes tho

not bulgy, just huge. like a woodland creature

Dennis "Bambi" Wise

WCILF

my friend dated avon pre-wire.

daniels is too android-like. i've had a crush on method man forevah so my vote goes to cheese, as loathesome as he is.

which reminds me: SLIM CHARLES

oh, hell yes.

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.
