The Wire: Lying Liars Who Lie

I can't decide how I feel about this fake serial killer plot. It's totally over-the-top and ridiculous, and I can't believe that McNulty (not to mention Lester) would actually do it, but then again McNulty is a drunk and it did provide some funny moments this week. That a-hole lying journalist said he got a phone call from the "serial killer." The scene where he's telling McNulty about the call was classic. Then McNulty is all, "Yeah, the police got a call from him too." Oh good lord! They both know the other dude is lying and yet they keep burying themselves in BS. Great stuff.

Herc is my hero, for stealing Omar's cell phone number and giving it to the cops. Nice. Lester gets a wire tap, but I'm pretty sure the first communication was a text - not sure if he can track those.

Bubs doesn't have the hivvie. Thank god for small miracles. Omar = Batman. He had a great shoot-out with Marlo's people, thankfully didn't appear to be shot, leaped off the balcony and -- what? -- freaking disappeared! And we got Clay Davis to give us another "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet" which is always good - this one lasted 5 seconds (I rewound it a couple times)!
