"The Wire" just got nominated for Best Dramatic Series by the Writer's Guild of America. Just shows that the show has credibility where it matters.

Also, you can watch "The Wire: Final Word" and "The Wire: Odyssey" streaming from the HBO web site along with the entertaining prequel clips. First time I ever heard McNulty (Dominic West) talking in his native accent. Pretty impressive too that they got a heavyweights like Joe Klein and Jacob Weisberg to talk extensively about the show and journalism.

Looks pretty good, it opens up a strong dialogue about what journalism means today. Of course, the take is very pessimistic (surprise).
