I've just started into the 5th season of the HBO show The Wire, something which I've been addicted to for the last year or thereabouts, which I'm trying to make last as long as possible, because I don't want the series to end. I am more than ready to admit that the idea for this piece came from the fountain of knowledge that we all know as Michael Carlson, whose tribute to The Wire's fourth series can be found here: http://irresistibletargets.blogspot.com/2009/04/homage-to-wire-series-four.html .
