Who we talkin bout? I can’t see it.

John Desierta

Coordination work is just that. Managing everyone's expectations. Pleasing the hierarchy while being shitted on which trickles down (the shit) on the staff. Staff who usually don't understand that function will often mark the coordinator as an azzhole. This is the position you don't want to keep for too long because it'll literally kill you because of the constant stress and disapproval. The show runners choosing a fat man for that role is very accurate.

Yea nah, cut the crap. Jay is an ass kisser but he’s ALSO dedicated to good police work.

Even with the sir. Jay knows his chain of command doesn’t he?

That he is, reasonable and rhetorical

Everywhere I go, I hear, "Bill Rawls is a reasonable man." Even now, 20 years later.

@@k33p1tc00l ...and deeply ambivalent

@@NefastusJones that’s really cool people show such reverence to you

😂😂

He’s literally a bridge, you could cross a ravine on him. All jokes aside nice analysis yes, Jay is an excellent middleman who knows how to play all sides and stay safe.

Played the game as good as anyone in series

Landsman was only playing submissive to placate Rawls and get him engaged in the conversation, but when it came time to hammer his point home, Jay looked Rawls right in the eyes, pointed his finger at him, and delivered his message with conviction. "It's also what makes him good PO-lice." Jay almost seemed like the superior officer in that moment, and you could see the concession on Rawls' face. He knew Jay was right.

Plus his line about visigoths baying for Roman blood you wouldn’t expect him to know history like that

No shit sherlock, he's a Sgt. A middle manager. He's subordinate to Rawls and detective like 'Nulty are subordinate to him. This is what effective middle management looks like.

Thanks for the trivia. Personally it’s one of the most cringey scenes to me but I know I’m in the minority on that opinion. Even more of a minority opinion from me is the desk scene, I think that’s the absolute cringiest, ham fisted scene in the entire show.

@k33p1tc00l I laughed at the desk bit. I establishes that Hurk is basically an idiot but a good cop

​@@alexgrenlie862 I saw the scene as a statement on the ineffective BPD or just bureaucracy working against itself... either way I said my piece, and I know I'm in the minority in thinking it's cringe and not brilliant.

​@@k33p1tc00lYes, you're in the minority and that's definitely a bad take

@@balabanasireti the masses aren’t known for their refined tastes 😉

Especially when you look into it. Carver auditioned to play Daniels, could you imagine how terrible that would have been? Other shows have this fortuitous casting too - Silvio Dante in Sopranos tried out to be Tony. Imagine that.

Definitely can see him 😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Jay lets the chips fall where they may, it's very middle behavior.

Beautifully said!

Jay knows how to do police work, he shows he can be a smart guy, but he's passed on doing it on a regular basis in a way that doesn't favor him personally. Rawls flat out doesn't care, to his own detriment, and Jimmy cares entirely too much, also to his own detriment. Meanwhile Jay just keeps on doing his thing. Rawls is an agent of the matrix, Jimmy is actively fighting against the matrix, and Jay has learned to live in it.

Jay was based on a real cop with the same name. He tried out for the part but didnt get it.

@@Mrclean431 yes. That cop is Bunny Colvin’s second in command during the Hamsterdam bits.

@@k33p1tc00land reasonable

@@k33p1tc00lRawls was a piece of shit who made Baltimore a worse place with his political maneuvering. But on an interpersonal level, he was reasonable and honest. You can say something similar about a lot of the worst people in this show. No one is really black white. Chris Partlow wasn’t sadistic, he was an extremely loyal worker and a family man before everything. In the legitimate world people would see him for that, but he kills people for money. That’s what makes him evil. But on a personal level, there’s humanity in his heart. Avon and Weebey were really good teachers. They didn’t just bark at their subordinates and pass out punishments. They didn’t put emphasis on nebulous concepts like Stringer did to Bodie. Avon and Weebey could identify an issue, provide a solution, and relay all this information in a polite and professional manner. There are a lot of other examples. But yeah, these characters are good representations of how real people are. No one is black and white.

His American accent is flimsy as fuck throughout the whole show really, maybe most people don't notice but I always heard and noticed it constantly

The chemistry is great and also how fortuitously the actors found their roles. I said this in another comment but Carver auditioned to be Daniels 😬

@@k33p1tc00l Absolutely! Now anyone would cringe at the thought of Carver playing Daniels 😆

@ExtraCheeseProject no matter what role I see Seth Gilliam in I just can’t imagine him having the range or presence to be Daniels. This is of course all in hindsight so who knows how it would have turned out. He was pretty good as a Western Sergeant.

@@k33p1tc00l If nothing else I think he was too young to play Daniels; he was about five years younger than Lance Reddick and he also has a youthful face 😅 This made him perfect in Seasons 1 and 2 with Herc as they're both like kids compared with people that were only a few years older than them, the difference being that Carver grew up through the series, whereas Herc only seemed to regress 😆

@@k33p1tc00l it’s made by David Simon. Stars Jon Bernthal and has a bunch of actors from the Wire including Poot, slim Charles, Marlo and Dukie. It’s based on a true story. Focusing on the corrupt Gun Trace Task Force and Wayne Jenkins in Baltimore.

That’s a great joke especially because Jay looks like a bear with his hand stuck in a bee hive there. I like when TV shows/films throw in parts of a great joke as a lead in for a scene, Kick Ass did it to lead into Big Daddy going berserk in that warehouse, Sopranos did it several times too.

Jay should make up for anything, he was so fat in this show he looked like the gator from All Dogs Go To Heaven

@@k33p1tc00l 🤣

Both

Are you new to The Wire, a hardcore fan, or somewhere in between? I’ll try to give some notes: The overall story is Sergeant Jay Landsman goes to his boss Bill Rawls to try to get Jay’s subordinate Detective McNulty out of “hot water”. Jay tells Rawls he could use McNulty’s skills because despite Jimmy being a self centered asshole, he really is a good detective. Rawls reluctantly agrees, hoping McNulty doesn’t deviate from what he’s told to do. Then Jay comes around with a file for McNulty and his partner Bunk to work on, and they go off to re-examine a crime scene a prior detective didn’t do a good job on. I also heavily edited Bunk and McNulty redoing this crime scene, the real one is much longer and they go outside too, the point there was they were looking at the file the previous detective wrote up and realizing based on the pictures he had that there was no way the ballistics of the shooting of the woman could be correct, and they figured out the shooter was outside not inside. That helped them solve the case that Jay had sent them to reinvestigate. Then McNulty goes back to the office and Jay is teasing him because McNulty didn’t believe the file was even relevant. Then Jay calls him into his office (I had to cut out nudity here then recut the scene so it looks like McNulty goes in there on his own versus being called in by Jay in the real version) and Jay reminds him not to work on anything but what he’s told. What happens next is McNulty reviewing other files and coming up with alternative work to do that he wasn’t instructed to do, and then he pushes it even further by meeting up with Omar and finding more reasons to do that alternative work, then it ends (as in the show without further context) that Rawls calls McNulty into his office to do the “reasonable bill Rawls chat”. Even if I didn’t cut anything it would still be confusing, and I just tried my best to make sense of it haha 🙏 The most jarring cuts were made with McNulty and Kima following Omar in the van to the graveyard conversation, you probably would have to know some names to get it better if you haven’t seen the show, and I had left out the prior scene where they start scoping him out, but even with that I didn’t feel it added much context or clarified anything so in the interests of time I removed it. I was hoping it would just come across as “two cops in a car seeing a suspicious van pull into a graveyard” and then you all forgive me for the butchering of the context that occurred 😂
