Can't. Frakkin. Wait.

OMG, OMG, only 2 hours until the Battlestar Galactica season 4 premiere! Please, don't let it suck.
I was talking with some friends about The Wire the other day (I know, rare occurrence) when we decided that premium TV dramas are the narrative art form of this era. Think about The Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under...they speak to us in ways only great novels and cycles of novels used to. And thanks to DVDs and other forms of digital storage, we can visit and re-visit them just like we would our favorite literary trilogies.

No more Wire

Sadly, the best show on television (tied with Battlestar Galactica, I think), is wrapping up after five seasons.
"For the past two years, a good chunk of "The Wire," the HBO show that critics have praised for the grittiness of its inner-city verite, has been filmed in an anonymous soundstage in the burbs -- a soundstage that reportedly will be turned into a massive Wegmans Food Market." (WP)
So now Wire fans will have to make pilgrimages to this new Wegmans--leave memorial wreathes and pour out bottles in the produce section, or something.
