She added an authenticity to the series that nobody else could match. She reminded you that everyone else for the most part were only actors playing a role.

I agree OP

Bodie's progression is fascinating and his plight is tragic. Brilliant character.
>>
>>62982470

How is Marlo a secondary character?
>>
I feel more for that bum that McNulty used than anyone else.

My favorite persona... Avon Barksdale, no doubt.

Avon was weighed down by years. Head up, he would have murdered Marlo.

>secondary character

Bodie stopped being a secondary character mid-way through season 2. He got a lot of scenes that were solely dedicated to what he was doing. While he was not as much of a main character like Mcnulty or Stringer, he definitely was one.

>>62981106
>>62981810
>>62982762

These are proper examples of secondary characters. They almost never appeared unless it was to be a part of something a more important character was doing and had very little character development. Even Landsman's scene with Bubbles after Sherrod's death doesn't count because it was more about Bubbles than him.

>Pearson worked as a drug dealer. At the age of 14, she was convicted of second degree murder after the shooting of a girl named Okia Toomer, and was sentenced to two eight-year terms, to be served consecutively, at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women in Jessup, Maryland.[2] She was released after six and a half years.

And i wondered how she put such a good perfomance for a literally who, turns out she was just playing herself the whole time

I always wondered about if she was a lesbian or not

Chris and Snoop

favourite character was Marlo though, such a badass

>>62984205

That's not how controlling territory works anon.

Having some hired guys is good, but when you want to keep territory you have you want people who are loyal to you. Not your money.

I think you need to have a little chat with Sun Tzu and Machiavelli. There's a reason they are pretty much required reading at West Point.

>>62984398
That low level, you do it yourself. Partlow was always a liability. Bringing his son? No.

Me, never. More people know, more people give up.

Like on the thirteens & all, too young to throw away, to far away from you to collude.

Avon was hands down the best side character. He comes of exactly like i would imagine some drug kingpin, great acting too.
I was a baltimore nigger id sling for marlo though

There's the scene where Bunk has her (and Chris) on the curb by their truck and he says, "I'm thinking about some pussy." She replies with, "Yeah, me too."
