Last week, The Wire was a rerun due to the World Series. Not content to wait a whole seven more days for the first week of Carcetti-as-Mayor-elect, I watched yesterday's episode using On Demand on Monday, which HBO strangely allows you to do. When this week's episode came on, I had already seen it, but I needed my fix. Today, I broke down and watched next week's episode On Demand. If HBO dramas were dollars, I would have an interest-only third mortgage.
Also, it's not really fair for me to talk with my Wire-watching friends about it, since they have willpower and won't watch it until Sunday.
Damn you, On Demand!
The folks at Ezra Klein called for an open thread on the Wire & police procedurals:

There are a few interesting comments. I'm not a fan of the Wire, but I perversely like to torture myself with the sub-genre that I call Forensic Science Fiction.
