In 56, the only whistle I noticed was d...Nice work.<BR/> <BR/>In 56, the only whistle I noticed was during Lester and McNulty's late night meet. <BR/><BR/>I'm always interested in how the story is broken, the sequencing of the threads. <BR/><BR/>So we have in that DARK scene between our two conspirators: McNulty's indignation over the principle of the thing, how the "assholes" won't give them what they need. They "have to" (are forced by circumstances) to go get another body.<BR/><BR/>The next scene between the two of them, in the cold hard light of day, following interim scenes of Lester's following the Marlo thread but pushing aside the Clay Davis case, and McNulty's statue soliloqy and the fruitless DOA scene, and now McNulty's playing the witholding asshole to Lester's request. <BR/><BR/>As much as I'd like to hold faith with Lester's morality and sanity, he's not acknowledging that McNulty is by this point, delusional. Lester should know better. <BR/><BR/>It's a question of degree with the two of them. McNulty's lost all perspective while Lester has some major blind spots, or at least appears to. We seen Lester call McNulty on his shit before, back in S3 when he told him to get a life, so at that point, he could read McNulty. Now, it appears he's lost perspective.B Northcuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013673846217501512noreply@blogger.com
