Funny, since he had dirt in his past that kept threatening his promotions; or rather, they would use that dirt to threaten his promotions if he didn't fall in live.

Good character

[Marion Cobretti]

Too many lists without Bubbles IMO.

Click to shrink...

I feel like Bubbles is the backbone of the show. It kind of goes without saying.

 

[Nabs]

I feel we should just go for 50 instead of 5.

I want a list with Donut and Dee-Dee on it.

 

[sweetmini]

MacNulty will never be in a list of mine... i disliked him very much

Omar, of course Omar, sticking to his guns
Lester, instinct, intelligence, a little gray on the side (not the hair).
Cutty, the big bro, definition.
Bubbles ! If there's ever been one i wanted to get clean. (not talking about a shower).
Bunk ... let's have a drink.

 

[xir]

snoop for her debut scene alone

[HStallion]

Too many lists without Bubbles IMO.

Click to shrink...

My thoughts. Him walking up those stairs at the end of season 5 might be one of the most cathartic moments in the entire series as well in television history period.

 

[Tuorom]

Surprised at all the Mcnulty mentions. He's just a piece of shit acting like he's a hero.
