4 Seasons in 4 minutes

tvnutz

Came accross this today while looking for the photocopier scene in season 5 episode 1 (which I still can't find,anyone knows where to get it let me know please )

Anyway,thought this was very funny. Spoilers for first 4 seasons despite it being a piss take,even though at the end it seems like a real HBO video,but who knows.

I reckon it's real - it's very like the one Showtime did for Dexter. If it's not real, there's one fan out there with an awful lot of time on their hands.

Its very like the Lost 8 minute summary which is official, it's on the abc site. Maybe it's the networks way of telling us we have attention deficit disorder.
What was I posting about again...

That's a pretty good refresher!
BUT at the start it names Cheese as one of Avon and Stringers' crew.. that's not right is it? Thought he was in Prop Joes crew on the east side?

If memory serves me correctly he starts working for Joe after season 3 when Avon has fallen.

I don't think he ever worked for Barksdale, he only appeared in season 2.

A gambling man with an affinity for the dogfights, eastside lieutenant Cheese - a nephew to Proposition Joe - is among his trusted lieutenants, a bit more hot-headed and ready for action than Proposition Joe normally requires, given Joe's reluctance to show muscle or profile. Cheese was nearly caught on the detail unit's wiretap talking about having shot his dawg - an admission that the detectives took to be relevant to an eastside drug war that erupted over a fixed dog fight. To their chagrin, it turned out that Cheese was actually confessing to having executed his dog, believing that the animal had turned cur after failing in the fixed fight. The aborted arrest stopped that eastside war and won Daniels plaudits from superiors for having reduced violence at a time when the department was under pressure to improve its statistics. But it cost the unit an opportunity to take down Prop Joe's organization on a wiretap that was instead revealed prematurely.

It was Slim Charles that went to work for Joe after Avon gets sent back to jail and his crew all get locked up. Cheese was always with Prop Joe.

When Stringer made the deal with Prop Joe behind Avon's back to allow Joe's people to sling product in the towers in exchange for the good dope it was Cheese that first came over to the Towers. He then got shot by Brother Mouzone for his trouble.

Edit: rkm got there ahead of me .

tvnutz

AH yes,it was Slim Charles,got them mixed up.
