NO SPOILERS, right guys?

So everything after the jump.

Frankly, this season of The Wire suuuuuucks. The most beautiful aspect of this series has been its failure to invoke any willful suspension of disbelief. You didn’t need to. It never stretched to make a story work. Everything just felt so…true. Until now. The McNulty plotline is so over-the-top that I can’t even be bothered to summarize its many failures, while David Simon’s big fat bone to pick with the Baltimore Sun and the world of newspaper publishing is of no interest to anyone but him and the guy who wrote the screenplay to Shattered Glass. If he uses his show to beat me in the face with a pedantic vocabulary lesson in order to show how intelligent and irreverent the city desk editor is, I will do something to him for which there are no words.

Nevertheless, the season is also spotted with its potent moments, mostly just when a character dies. Prop Joe’s death was definitely shocking. Last night’s death of Omar was not as surprising, it has been coming for five seasons now, but the matter of fact-ness of it all might leave some viewers wishing there was more to say. That’s why HBO has put up a message board where you can write your own eulogies to Mr. Little. Here are a few of my favorites (BONUS: See if you can pick out which one was written by a white person, answer at the end):

Answer: number 2. You are a racist. Hillary is Mrs. Little. Go Obama.
