How would you have ended The Wire?

[Mr. Manhattan]

13 Episodes....But it has to end this season

The investigation of the vacants would continue on from season 4,
- Mcnulty gets reassigned to the detective work, after constant dead ends with Bunk and Lester....

-The source of the dead bodies would be traced from the lime used to dissolve and eat away the decomposing flesh, nails from the nail gun, missing reports etc...

-the wiretap of the cellphone images and time still would stand

Marlo still lures Omar from his beach house after the killing the blind man

-this time Omar kills 2x as much of the Stansfield crew, eventually
kills Monk during a well planned attack,

-Chris narrowly escapes Omar's attack, leaving him at Omar's skill

-The whole season between Omar and Chris starts to turn into Militant strategic warfare in the streets, eventually they end up in a vacant home
playing cat and mouse in a dark abandoned building,
Omar blasts Chris head off with a shotgun

-Snoop gets killed by Mike the same way

-An extra storyline of how Namond develops into an honor student

-Omar still on the hunt for Marlo, eventually gets killed by kenard
to maintain the mythos of omars character



etc... i'll finish later

The cat and mouse thing would be straight.

I'd lose the homeless serial killer storyline. Never was a fan of that. I'd have Omar go out in a blaze of glory instead of getting murked by Kenard. I'd have Marlo get off like they did in the show BUT I'd have him get shot by those kids at the end. And just for fun have Mike and Namond meet up by chance just to show the different paths they ended up taking.

i like how omar went out, i just thought a lil more could be done. i didnt like seeing marlo out. i liked every other dealer more than him.

Wouldn't mind throwing Slim Charles a bone and having him running shyt after Prop Joe, Marlo, Cheese, etc. were all wiped out. Dude is probably my favorite character in the show when it's all said and done. And if we could go back a season I'd have my nikka Bodie survive .

Wouldnt make dukie the next bubbles... have prezbo take him in

have bodie live...have him just quit the game and try to have a normal life

And no offense to anybody but thank God some of yall ain't TV writers.

Dookie being a junkie works. It just does. Why? Because it's fukking terrible, and real life ain't always happy. Same goes for Bodie dying, or Marlo living. Life is random, and "The Wire" is supposed to be an accurate reflection of life in the city.

I thought every aspect of season 5 was good, except the fake serial killer shyt. That is the WOAT story line, hands down. If you guys can work around that, and still maintain the rest of the season, it would be

I agree about the fake serial killer storyline not being good. But would you still go in the direction of the police force getting stiffed the money to work the vacants case and find another shady way for McNulty to get the money flowing? Or just scrap the whole police force being broke storyline altogether?

If the season was longer, I'd definitely have Omar do more damage to Marlo's crew. At least get somebody on the level of Monk before Kenard takes him out.

Again the only other weak aspect was the rushed Newspaper storyline due to the season being short. It could have been alot better given more time.

"I did like the fact that Herc became mayor it was a nice ending to his storyline."


Yeah, that was pretty cool, especially when he had that minister that complained on him framed and arrested for child molestation. I didn't know Herc could be so cold hearted.

Thanks for posting that link.

Nah, the police not having funds was kind of a recurring theme. So we couldn't do away with that.

If the fake serial killer is gone so is the main focus of the news paper story line.

Maybe keep the fake serial killer story line, but have it exposed immediately. Keep it realistic, and have it last like 2 eps before someone like Kima snitches.

After that have McNulty expose how fukked up the system is, and what's been going on the last 4 seasons, to the newspaper people? On some exclusive story type shyt. It would be career suicide same as what happened, really.

But due to politics they don't print the story. Marlo obviously gets off because what little evidence they have is from illegal wire taps. McNulty gets disgraced, falls out of the story for a few eps. This would be when all the Omar shyt happens.

The end of the last ep would be the same, except when Marlo goes outside he randomly runs into McNulty, who kills him.

at the end of season 1 because that season 2 boat dock shyt was fugaze and made me stop watching
