'This Sentimental (Expletive Deleted) Just Cost Us Money!!' Hercules The Strong Gives HBO's Last WIRE Ever Five Stars!!

I am – Hercules!!


"This sentimental motherfucker just cost us money!!"

Was McNulty thinking clearly when he began letting so many in on his scheme to redistribute his serial-killer resources? Did he learn nothing from his old partner Bunny Colvin’s Hamsterdam gambit?

Say, wasn't there a Sun reporter lurking around during Hamsterdam? Is that guy still in the cast?

Tonight brings the 60th and final hour of “The Wire.”

Here’s the tally:

28 “Desperate Housewives” Emmy nominations.
24 “Grey’s Anatomy” Emmy nominations.
11 “Ugly Betty” Emmy nominations
1 “The Wire” Emmy nomination.

6 “Desperate Housewives” Emmy wins.
3 “Ugly Betty” Emmy wins.
2 “Grey’s Anatomy” Emmy wins.
0 “The Wire” Emmy wins.

HBO says of the finale:

Episode #60: " - 30 - "
Debut: SUNDAY, MARCH 9
Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) maps out a damage-control scenario with the police brass in the wake of a startling revelation from Pearlman and Daniels. Their choices: clean up the mess, or hide the dirt. With his leads predictably drying up, McNulty asks Landsman (Delaney Williams) to pull police off the homeless case - until a fresh homicide ramps up the investigation. A frustrated Haynes finds his concerns about Templeton (Tom McCarthy) falling on increasingly deaf ears. Convinced he has the upper hand, but caught in a legal quandary, Levy plays a cat-and-mouse game with Pearlman. Bubbles debates whether to greenlight a newspaper story about his life; Dukie (Jermaine Crawford) seeks out an old mentor for a loan; and Marlo (Jamie Hector) oversees a new co-op order as he maps out his next move. As the officers stage an Irish wake for another dearly departed officer, the seeds of the future are sown throughout Baltimore.

Teleplay by David Simon; story by David Simon & Ed Burns; directed by Clark Johnson.

9 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
