My wife and I have been flipping back and forth between DVDs of Gilmore Girls and The Wire. Sometimes this gets a little confusing…
 Lorelai Gilmore |
Life always spinning out of control.
Makes poor relationship choices. Hates all authority figures. |
 Jimmy McNulty |
 Rory Gilmore |
Smart, ambitious, wonkish, and idealistic.
Dangerous debating skills. Has a lot of growing up to do. |
 Tommy Carcetti |
 Emily Gilmore |
Community powerbroker.
Enjoys the spoils of playing The Game. A consummate streetfighter; never surrenders. |
 Avon Barksdale |
 Richard Gilmore |
A businessman above all else.
Expects high standards from his co-workers. Not afraid to shiv someone who gets in the way. |
 Stringer Bell |
 Paris Geller |
Smart, ambitious, and efficient.
Extremely direct, almost to a fault. Very annoying, particularly when right. |
 Cedric Daniels |
 Sookie St. James |
Quirky, funny, and earthy.
Loves food. Sometimes a help, sometimes a hindrance. |
 Jay Landsman |
 Lane Kim |
Trying to escape a miserable homelife.
Career choice not accepted by family. Should probably avoid dating boys. |
 Kima Greggs |
 Michel Gerard |
Fastidious and highly fussy.
The best-dressed character on the show. Highly dangerous when crossed. |
 Brother Mouzone |
 Luke Danes |
Street smart and skilled at crafts.
A man of few words. A fine partner, but not fun to be around when cranky. |
 Lester Freamon |
 Dean Forester |
Means well, but not terribly bright.
Torn by family loyalties. A patsy for the more powerful characters on the show. |
 D’Angelo Barksdale |
 Taylor Doose |
Wealthy and successful community leader.
Knows the rules inside and out. Always willing to drive a hard bargain. |
 Proposition Joe |
 Mrs. Kim |
Has a long memory.
Loves raking subordinates over the coals. Not someone you want to fuck with. |
 William Rawls |
 Jess Mariano |
Impulsive and aggressive, but not really a great fighter.
Charming only up to a point. Not as quite as smart as he thinks he is. |
 Bodie |
 Kirk |
Weirdly charismatic.
Always trying out new business opportunities. Desperately needs professional help. |
 Bubbles |
 Logan Huntzberger |
Young, wealthy, surrounded by an entourage.
Loved by the ladies. A narcissist and probable sociopath. |
 Marlo Stanfield |
 Omar |
Nobody on Gilmore Girls is as cool as Omar. | Omar |
Omar is the King. If you take a shot at the king, you better be sure you don’t miss!
(This list is the stuff of awesome, BTW)
Thanks, man! Though judging from the lack of comments, the audience for Gilmore Girls *and* The Wire must be smaller than one might think. 🙂
Ok, now that’s funny, and I’ve never even seen Gilmour Girls.
Omar! Oh, Omar.
