Omar to teach biology. Indeed!

—via thedailywhat:

Casting News of the Day: Omar Coming: Michael K. Williams — best known as Omar Little from HBO’s The Wire and Chalky White from HBO’s Boardwalk Empire — will play a badass biology professor in the last three episode of Community’s upcoming season, according to showrunner Dan Harmon.

“I want to add a layer of intensity to Community,” Harman explained at the show’s Comic-Con panel. “f the show’s ever been too weird to attract new viewers, you can add water to have less flavor and hope it threatens less people, or you can threaten the hell out of everyone with the kind of intensity and flavor that people will get tired of pretending isn’t awesome.”

The Wire: A Tour of Baltimore on Google Maps

vruz: I said earlier that Stringer Bell and McNulty are to Baltimore what Bloom and Stephen are to Dublin. Patapsco or Liffey… here’s another parallel.

Why, if there is any truth to anything presented in The Wire over the last four seasons, does that truth go unaddressed by our political culture, by most of our mass media, and by our society in general? We’ve given our answer: We are a culture without the will to seriously examine our own problems. We eschew that which is complex, contradictory or confusing. As a culture, we seek simple solutions. We enjoy being provoked and titillated, but resist the rigorous, painstaking examination of issues that might, in the end, bring us to the point of recognizing our problems, which is the essential first step to solving any of them.
