There's threads about Lost and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles here, but surprisingly none about The Wire.

There's one more episode left in the series, has anyone been watching it? If so what do you think about season 5 so far and how they're wrapping things up.

*spoiler if you haven't seen to Season 5 episode 9*

I thought the way they killed Omar was perfect tbh. Many were expecting an all out battle between him and Marlo's crew but it's just not realistic. It also really drives home the level of violence when the newspaper has to choose between him getting killed and a fire as their story and they choose the fire. It's a shocking thing to have a character you've been attached to for 5 years just dismissed. I thought it was well done.

Marlo and crew are obviously going away and Michael has escaped. I think the last episode is going to focus on McNulty's downfall (perhaps back on the boat patrol?) and then drive home the point that everything continues as it always has (the drugs, the murders, the crime)

*end spoiler*

Fans out there? Thoughts?
