Season 1 Ep 3: The Buys
Seems like McNulty’s words really resonated with D’Angelo a bit in that opening scene when he says that the police will be down the projects because of the bodies.
Then my favourite scene so far the chess scene. It’s just such a great analogy as to how things seem to be playing out in the show and I’m now starting to wonder as to who is what piece?
Avon = King
Stringer = Queen
Stash = Castle
Pawns = Stinkum? Wee-Bay? D’Angelo
Smart ass pawn who makes it to the end = ?
What I did enjoy as well is that from this Bodie is sort of seeing D’Angelo as a bit of a mentor figure here and maybe his teachings will stick with Bodie when he’s in a similar position to D’Angelo.
Another interesting thing with D’Angelo is when he comes to Stringer with the amount of money he’s made in the pit. We kinda ask that question again ‘Is D cut out for the game’ I mean, he made a significant amount of money in the pit that Stringer has recognised and states that it’s an improvement of who was in charge previously. So it looks like D has aspects to be cut out in this line of work but his morals are sort of conflicting him. He really does seem to be torn between two worlds?
Did enjoy that part with Kima and McNulty when he says “I wonder what you’ve gotta do to get thrown of this police force” and her responding “keep up with some of your **** you just might find out”
Then the stash gets robbed by Omar and I just loved the delivery of his lines
“Where it at mang?” And then Brandon said his name!? Omg
why did he do that? And why the heck did D’Angelo head out for food when a re up was on the way?
Also at the end we find out that LT Daniels is ‘dirty’. What a surprise
