You're well and truly missing what he means by brutal.
Wallace was shot, michaels step dad was brutally bashed, whether or not he deserved it has nothing to do with the brutality of how he died.

A long drawn-out scene of a 14 y-o kid getting murdered by his friends versus some scumbag getting bashed to death? I'm sticking with the former, both as a more brutal act, and as being more brutal to watch. Just my opinion, of course.

The Partlow beating was more brutal to watch.
How many head stomps did he drop on him? About 120?
Agreed.
I think cellotape is getting emotionally caught up in the wallace killing and has lost all objectivity.
FWIW, i was gutted when wallace was killed, he was my favourite character at that point.
Hey guys lets have a semantical argument over what we each interpret the word 'brutal' to mean.
As for "getting emotionally caught up", nah, it's called 'context'.

It took me a year of waiting and three weeks of watching, but now I have seen The Wire. Like somebody said before, I can already feel that Post Wire Depression coming on. Damn it was a good show. So in-depth, exciting and well-written, I am truly envious of all the people who get to watch this show for the first time. Quite simply, the best television series i have ever seen.

Great, great show.
But my god does David Simon sound like a w***er. Think he also compared inner city elementary school teaching to 'Vietnam'.

During the first couple of episodes it didn't strike me as much more than an above average 'cop' show. But then I really started to like it.
I think it's pace and style can make it seem 'boring/dull' at first. A friend of mine hasn't got past episode one despite my chronic nagging

just watched a really good movie reminded me of the wire quite a bit
of course seeing Bunk as a cop and marlo helped, but it's a pretty good flick, amazing score done by the roots
set in the 70's, kinda post black panthers

Finished watching the entire thing a couple of days ago and would have it as the best television I've ever seen. 5 Seasons were good because it gave us long enough to really enjoy a huge range of characters and their development but short enough so they weren't flogging it to death.
In order of how I rated the seasons I'd go: 4>5>3=1>>>2. I loved the new generation of street characters that came through, didn't like the dock workers much at all (couldn't stand Ziggy) and spent most of Season 2 hanging out for my old favourites from Season 1 to appear.
My overall favourite character was Omar (bit of a given really) but the rest varied from season to season and I'd go:
Season 1: McNulty, D'Angelo,Wallace
Season 2: Frank, Brother Mouzone, "why always" Boris
Season 3: Bodie, Prop Joe, Colvin, Bubbles
Season 4: Bodie, Slim Charles, Randy, Dukie, Prez
Season 5: Michael, Prop Joe, Slim Charles, Bunk, Gus, Gutierrez
Funniest scene for me was when they made the bust on the brothel and walk in on McNulty balls deep in the hooker.
Favourite scene:

Saddest scene (shed a tear or two):

The way he knows his time is up, but still stands his ground and dies with pride ("Yo this is my corner, I ain't running nowhere!"), really gets to me. Really sums him up as a character and is a fitting end to his development throughout the series.
