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
― 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.

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

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

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

<3 <3 bearded teacher prez in season 5

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.

I am very literal-minded!

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.

Stringer Bell walks this, surely.
― Alba, Friday, 21 March 2008 01:51 (sixteen years ago) link
if Herc and Carver made me name one guy to get with the Olson twins or whatever, it'd be Stringer.
do chicks who watch the show like McNulty?

― jhøshea, Friday, 21 March 2008 02:21 (sixteen 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

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.
