Wire Wins Top Award from WGA

The Wire picked up the award from best drama at the Writers Guild of America Awards. Good for them.

I still don't have a coherent opinion on the current season -- which usually wouldn't prevent me from blogging -- but in this case I want to feel out the season a bit more before I offer complaints or praise. All I'll say is that I think David Simon is stretching a bit in his final season, but it's still been a fun watch for me so far. You can't deny that Clark Johnson (who btw has been directing episodes since the beginning) has done a terrific job as the Sun's city editor bringing life to some of the otherwise boorish newsroom scenes. We'll see where the season takes us in its final episodes.
