I'm waiting for Season 5 to be shipped to me via Amazon when it comes out August 18.
I pretty much burned through the first four seasons, and then went back and watched all the commentary and special features.
Order of my love (thus far): 1) Season One (D'Angelo explaining chess to Wallace and Bodie will haunt me for a long time)
2) Season Four (I want to draw hearts all around all four of the kids, Bodie's soldier's death)
3) Season Three (Stringer Bell's death actually made me weep...and I was rooting for Omar!)
4) Season Two (While still awesome, I don't think it held together as well as the other seasons.)
I suspect that I'll probably love Season 5 more than most people, in large part because of the Baltimore Sun focus and the slow decline of the American newspaper. That's a storyline that hits home because it started waaaaaay back when I was working for newspapers as a reporter. I pretty much knew that my choices were either face getting laid off once every two to three years, or switch careers. I suspect that's going to *ping* for me in a way that it didn't for most people.
Plus, any time I get to watch Clark Johnson on my TV screen is always a good time. :-)
