Grantland has set up a tournament to determine who is the best character from The Wire. Clearly, it is Omar Little, but I do enjoy me a bit of chart-y SCIENCE. You can vote for your preferred characters on Grantland’s Facebook page!

ninefruits replied to your post: I’d add Namond’s mom to your list.

Namond’s mum is the biggest monster in the whole series.

QFT.

edenite-deactivated20120124 asked: I'd add Namond's mom to your list.

Oh, GOOD ONE. Yes, that woman was a piece of work. 

List amended!

List of characters from The Wire who (whom?) I hate.

For personal future reference:

  1. Bill Rawls
  2. SCOTT TEMPLETON
  3. Late addition: Templeton’s two moronic head editors, James Whiting and Thomas Klebanow.
  4. De’Londa Brice (thanks for the suggestion, edenite)
  5. Clay Davis
  6. Maurice Levy
  7. Ervin Burrell
  8. Stan Valchek (hatred confined to Season 2 only)
  9. Ziggy Sobotka*
  10. Kenard*

Templeton is in all caps because I’m watching the last episode of the last season right now and too many of my favourites are losing. But also fuck that guy, for real.

*These guys don’t really deserve to be on this list except Ziggy annoyed me so consistently every single time he popped up, and Kenard knows what he did. 

**After I added Namond’s mom, I rejigged it so that she would go higher. And then I decided I hated Clay Davis more than Maurice Levy. This list could potentially keep shifting for years and years but I think the characters will remain the same.
