somniloquence

I have a terrible feeling that this is the kind of show I'm going to have to watch again after I've finished it. Deadwood was like that; I found it very hard to warm to at first, and I love westerns -- it was a really unlovable show to me. As we kept going on, though, we realized we were missing a lot, and when we finished our first run through, we watched it again and were blown away. I think The Wire is going to be like that -- I wasn't sure if I was enjoying everything until the fifth episode, and the stuff with Omar just knocked me over. When he and his boyfriend and... lieutenant, I guess, set those other dealers up and ambushed them in the alley, I was really amazed, and then that scene with D'Angelo and his girlfriend at dinner... they hooked me big time. So my plan is to watch the rest of the eps and then either rent them again, or see if I might be able to get a set somehow. If for no other reason than Omar, but McNulty's a pretty big benefit, too. ;-)

I know so many people who just dimiss crime dramas out of hand, and I think they're going to miss a lot. At least I might be able to lure the slash fans with talk about Omar.
