Clin d´oeil à Epitaph, regarde un peu, je crois que c´est assez juste ce qui est développé. Le reste de la populace, bah juste regardez tout ce qu´on arrive à dire si on décortique UNE scène

"The opening scene of each season has presented that year´s key themes. In year two, for instance, we open with McNulty on harbor patrol, eyeing the decayed factories along the harbor (signposts of the death of blue-collar America that we´ll see played out with the Sobotkas) before he and his partner have to give a tow to a party boat full of rich assholes (dilettantes turning what was once a thriving site of commerce into yet another place for them to party and enjoy their wealth). By putting that scene on Felicia Pearson, an untrained performer whose speech is hard to understand on a good day, David Simon´s taking a chance on his message not getting across. But I´ve watched that sequence a half-dozen times and thought about it a lot as I watched the other 12 episodes, and I have several theories, any and all of which could be right or wrong:
* Worlds passing in the night: There are two Baltimores (two Americas, if you want to get really poetic): the one the Hardware Barn salesman lives in, and the one Snoop lives in. Snoop may have been briefly raised in the salesman´s world and the salesman may have heard of Snoop´s on the news, but they have no common frame of reference beyond that. The salesman looks at the nail gun as a tool for building something; Snoop looks at it as a tool for destroying something (or, at least, covering up evidence of that destruction). A lot of this season´s political storylines will deal with Carcetti and Royce and Tony Gray trying to raise up Snoop´s Baltimore without ruining the salesman´s in the process.
* Teaching one thing, learning another: Education is the dominant theme this year. Whether it´s Prez at the middle school, Cutty at his gym or Marlo on the street, you´re going to see a lot of attempts at educating kids, but what they take out of those lessons isn´t always what´s intended. Again, the salesman is trying to teach Snoop how to use the nail gun for one thing, and she´s going to use it for something else entirely. And when she comes out to show her new prize to Chris, she tells him, "I´m in school, dawg" (or, possibly, "I been schooled, dawg" -- like I said, with Felicia Pearson, it´s hard to say).
* The right tool for the job: We all know David Simon´s theories about flawed institutions, and how The System is now too large, old and unswerving to fix all the problems it´s supposed to. Time after time, we´ve seen and will continue to see cops and politicans and other well-meaning types try to do good and fail because of a bureaucratic snafu or some other chink in The System. But with our expanded look at Marlo´s operation, we´re seeing a perfect opposite to The System. Marlo is focused on one thing and one thing only: staying the strongest, baddest slinger on the West side. And he will do whatever it takes to hold onto that, in the most cold-hearted, efficient way possible. In that way, he´s even better than Avon and Stringer, because Avon´s pride and Stringer´s desire for upward mobility created chinks in their armor. Marlo, with the help of Snoop and Chris and that nail gun, doesn´t appear to have any weak spots. You´re going to see a lot of people get boarded up into vacants for sins a lot smaller than Lex killing Fruit, but in Marlo´s eyes, those people are potential problems, and this is the simplest way to be rid of them. No fuss, no agonizing, nothing: just kill ´em and nail ´em up in a place nobody´s ever likely to look.
Those are just a few ideas."
