Trivia:

The outgoing Republican governor of Maryland, Robert Ehrlich, plays the security guard who tells Carcetti, "The governor will see you now." According to the show's writers, Carcetti is in turn largely based off of Martin O'Malley, the former Baltimore councilman and then-Mayor of Baltimore who defeated Ehrlich to become Governor of Maryland.

I don't want to give a spoiler, but this episode for him will be in total grief...*tear* I can understand his frustration from dealing with the neighborhood bully thief but he should have chosen a better method of getting back at that crackhead!

I am so in love with an intelligent thinking man. A smart detective is usually the one that most in his camp view as a bit cooky and skewed. Pay attention to the many revelations we'll receive in this show. I can't wait to watch the last two episodes!

Mike shows a new shade as well that was a bit shocking to me but not really. I feel his character was in the making of becoming a replacement character for the current leader. I may be wrong but I'm sure I'm kinda right about what's to come for the next season.
