Well, it's certainly worth considering. I'm doing a version of my S4 DW finale regarding The Wire. I'm trying very hard to steer clear of any articles in case they blurb something about S5 (we've watched up to the end of S4 of The Wire). I well remember Charlie Brooker being pissed off he got spoilered...

Hopefully all of the characters will be sorted out before too long. I knew who most of them were supposed to be in relation to each other, but I can't identify most of them by name. Rudy, Colbert, Person, Garza, the Sgt. Major, the Reporter, and the Godfather, that's about it so far.

There was a lot of been there done that, from war stories of past wars and from 'Over There' as well.

I'm hoping we find out why Charms candy is not allowed in any Humvee.

And based on their response to that kid's letter, don't let these marines hear you call 'em Army. LOL

I wasn't sure I'd like it, only because I'm inundated with the basic situation just from the news. But so far I'm intrigued enough to keep going....

"don't let these marines hear you call 'em Army. LOL"

Oops! Bad mistake of mine. Worse than one of my normal ones. Should have said 'military' rather than 'army'.

Fans of Evan Wright’s Generation Kill will be happy to learn that he has a new book called Hella Nation. Kirkus Reviews calls the book “Vivid confirmation of the arrival of a major chronicler of those who live on or beyond the margins of the American mainstream.” Don’t miss Hella Nation, on shelves April 7th.
