    Omar, ChrisandSnoop, Bodie, and Weebay, Stringer Bell but I love all of them.

    Cheese/Method Man is hilarious

    Also think Slim Charles is a great character. Doesn't scare or getting to hype over anything, just conducts business and is straight forward.

    My favorite has to be Bodie.

    Bodie was the definition of a true soldier who did his best all the time and even though he wanted to get out deep down inside he knew it was never going to happen. The final episode of S4 made me love him even more, doesn't give up and takes on Chris, Snoop, and their helpers? Damn!

    I can't decide on one, but I can make a quick short list. Joe, Omar, McNulty, Clay Davis, Carcetti, Freamon, Daniels, Herc, Carver...list is getting too long.

    This show has a true ensemble cast, and it is fantastic. It's even harder to think of a character that I DON'T like. I guess Brother Mouzone was unrealistic (very rare mark against the series) but I liked him anyway, he was cool and I especially liked the Mouzone/Omar/Stringer story. I'm wracking my brain and I can't even think of a single character that I disliked.

    Impossible to answer....I mean between McNulty, Bodie, Deangelo, Stringer, Snoop, Chris, Cutty, Freamon, Landsman, Bunk, Carcetti (why did nobody mention him?), Prez, Prop Joe, Slim Charles, Bunny- jeez, my head is spinning! Safest answer for me- Omar

    I hate to be stating the obvious but Omar is the one, brings back honour amongst thieves. Jamie Hector is awesome as Marlo too though his manner in the death of Joe was seriously creepy telling Joe to take deep breaths and stuff.

    Favorite Character would have to be Stringer Bell followed closely by Marlo; then Avon, Rawles, Bunk, Prop Joe, Snoop, Omar, Chris, Bird, Bodie and Clay Davis.

    Can't really say a favorite for the entire series. I'm only 1 episode into season 4 so far my favorites are Omar, Stringer, Brother Mouzone and Bodie.

    I really can't decide how I feel about Dookie so far, since I'm only one episode in to season 4 but he ALMOST makes me want to quit watching. I hate seeing little kids who just want to be accepted beat down, maybe he'll rise up but in the mean time it's hard to watch.

    I'm on Season 4 of Box Set, it's addictive. So much pain, realistic, I'm obsessed with this show. I even bought the paperback by Felicia Snoop Pearson, Grace After Midnight. Her life was a lot like the Wire...a girl gangster. I love Omar, know he's a killer but can't help but care about him.

    The only character to turly claim my affection is Bubbles. He has possibly the most growth as a character in the show, from where he begins as a scam-artist through the tragety that he goes through and still manages to be a decent human being.
