      I was wondering about the cat walking across Stinkum when he got out of the car and the rat running across the street before Omar starts to whistle ''farmer in the dell''.
      I was wondering whether the production crew released the rat with food on the other side of the street or dropped the rat in a exposed way with a some kind of object to hide under on the other side of the street, off the camera angle.

    As realistic as this show is, Omar has gained a near-mythical stature within its world. In this scene he is almost like an unstoppable consequence and buying into his own legend he acts like it so convincingly that noone can hit him. You can see how much Weebey is terrified of him, with Omar's voice echoing at him like some horror figure hiding in the shadows. In the end, this same hubris became the end of old Omar. His death is one of the most pitiless and trivial deaths I have ever seen depicted. Almost like a comet crashing to Earth.

    An old, old, idea given its most famous modern form by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "when you strike at a king, you must kill him." But having Omar cite Emerson, if intended to be deliberate by the writers, actually fits well his complex character, and even if not, it's a sentiment a man like Omar in Omar's position might well come to all on his own, and the writing, set up and delivery here is just some of the best writing and line reading in TV history, no question.

    0:44 I must have watched this scene 20 times, but just noticed that when Stinkum says he misses Bird, WeeBay's next line is to remind Stink to drop the pistol down a storm drain. This is because the key way that Bird got caught (besides Omar's perjured testimony) is that he was "too trifling to throw it off even after a daytime murder."

    Brilliant scene, only flaw for me is when they get out the car they ain't quiet, surely on the quiet corners that time of night you would hear a car door slam and at least look over. Especially in a game like The Game.

      @Popatop :: I really missed a great show, apparently. The things I've heard about _The Wire._ Like it was the best show ever. I only saw, maybe, three episodes. This scene with the rat running across the street, I was wondering, just like you, didn't the guys on the corner hear that car door close ? That's not good. ( I started thinking :: Maybe this show was all hype. )

      @cliffgaither definitely not all hype, its not fast paced but very well written. Personally my favourite U.S drama along with Breaking Bad, S.o.A and 6ft Under

    Omar's legend made his death ring so much louder AND it was perfect for the show. He didn't get his blaze of glory and he didn't get to ride off into the sunset in peace. He went out just like anyone else stuck in the same meaningless cycle violence that gets everyone. After all that action, he'd become another distant memory. An urban legend the old heads will misremember the details about and young kids will doubt ever existed
