According to David Mills' February 1st 2007 blog (just in case anyone missed it) Clark Johnson aka "Meldrick Lewis" from H:LOTS will play the city editor of Baltimore’s daily newspaper. Man, I hope he directs the finale.

David Mills confirms in the comments section of the blog that Clark Johnson is scheduled to direct the finale.

[Zycron]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Avon might make an appearance during the finale? I read on the old board that Wood Harris was open to the idea...

That's what I was thinking. It pretty much sounds like the most fitting thing to do. I always hoped that's what would have happened on The West Wing, but that couldn't have happened.

Man, I've missed Clark acting on TV though. His commetary on "The Sentinel" is hysterical.

[WithoutFeathers]

His commetary on "The Sentinel" is hysterical.

That almost makes me want to rent it. Almost. I'm glad he's coming back to acting- his TV direction has been good, but the features he was working on were pure factory line.

This post on the website for Steve Earle's radio show suggests we're going to see more Waylon in season 5.

[lynch]

Well, according to Jim King's Website, that aide to Clay Davis who got caught with the drug money in season 1 is going to return for season 5. It's looking more and more like Clay Davis will be going down in season 5.

[RoxieVelma]

I'm all for the return of Steve Earle AND Clay Davis going down. If he's going down, his last word better be "Sheeeeeit" as they haul him away. =)

[jadefox]

So Ashy Larry is gonna bring down Clay Davis? Can't wait!

[cman551]

Isn't Waylon dead?

[lynch]

Isn't Waylon dead?

Definitely not. He appeared in the season 4 finale. He did have either the HIV virus I believe, but he's still alive.

IMDB has two Season Five episode titles listed...

Season 5, Episode 3: Rules of Arbitration
Season 5, Episode 4: Transition with director listed as Daniel Attias

Last season, IMDB did a pretty good job of having the correct episode title names, so there is a good possibilty they are legit.

[RoxieVelma]

New episode title from site above:
Season 5, Episode 6: Dickensian Aspects

Also first episode director is now listed as : Joe Chappelle
Second episode director listed as: Ernest R. Dickerson

[tpplay]

Dickensian Aspects? That sounds terrific already!

[Anifan19]

I'm suspicious considering how often I've seen reviewers describe The Wire as "Dickensian," and I know IMDB has been wrong a lot about other shows, but who knows.... Anyway, for a possible minor "spoiler" from another often wrong and possibly unreliable source, check this out on Wikipedia. In case it gets edited:

Simon stated at the Night at the Wire event on June 9, 2007 that Detective Sydnor is the only character who remains morally clean at the end of the show, but not perfectly since "after all, this is The Wire". Simon also made references towards a possible run by Mayor Carcetti for governor, continuing to mirror current Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

[RoxieVelma]

Well last year IMDb got all the show titles they had listed for S4 correct, so I'm hoping for the same this year.

[Gob]

Are there any other characters who are morally clean at the end of season 4?

[schnitz]

I can't think of anything Cool Lester Smooth's done, besides maybe showing Shardene a good time.

Carcetti's been an ass, a backstabber, and a liar, but hasn't done much of anything illegal I think.

ETA: Oh wait, Carcetti cheats on his wife, don't he.

ETA2: true, Gob, but in the world of the Wire, those are like traffic tickets. And frankly, Bird had it comin'. Compare and contrast with Bunk's, Kima's, Jimmy's, Carver's, Herc's, Burrell's, or Daniel's sins.

Oh, and I guess Cutty and Namond are still pretty clean. Rhonda's also - picking off a husband on the tail end of a dead marriage hardly counts for much in Baltimore. I'd almost float Rawls, too, but he's too big a dick. I guess it's all relative on this show...

[Gob]

Off the top of my head, Freamon has used Omar as an informant despite knowing his illegal activities (to wit, the "Lester, are we still cops?" scene), nor do I imagine arresting Bird by hitting him over the head with a bottle is exactly legal.

Unless she somehow steals an important document or something ala Sandy Berger, then she'd have a problem.

There is a rather bizarre interview with Andre Royo on the tvguide.com site with Michael Ausiello. Royo seems to be all about TVGuide and did let one small spoiler slip: the Barksdale family story line is definitely not over.

[smallaxe0217]

I went to tvguide.com, and I didn't see that interview anywhere. Could you post the link?

[lynch]

It's on the right side of the home page. Just scroll down that Top Video section.

[RoxieVelma]

It's listed as Entourage Premiere: Ausiello interviews Andre Royo. It might be easier to find with this TV Guide link, but I don't know.

Edit: Andre's TV Guide page links right to it.

Season 5.5 episode director is now listed as Agnieszka Holland who directed episodes Corner Boys (Season Four) and Moral Midgetry (Season Three)

The title Dickensian Aspects so makes me want to read one of those 7 Dickens novels I have on my bookshelf, but not just yet.

[lynch]

Just found this link to Maestro Harrell's Myspace page over at the IMDB message boards. If we're to believe it, then Randy will indeed be back for the fifth season.

[RoxieVelma]

Episode 5.2 now as a title of Unconfirmed Reports and apparently has Doug Olear aka Agent Fitz as a guest star.

[Mutante]

Not really a spoiler, but Rupert Murdoch's purchasing of the Wall Street Journal will probably color the media aspect of Season 5.

I guess I could have also posted this in the, "You Know You're Obsessed With The Wire" thread instead!

[Navin]

It looks like we'll be seeing some nude corpses in season 5.
