Another good episode. We're well into this case now and with each episode, the police get answers to questions we already know the answers to which is what's making the pacing seem quite slow. That and the fact that so far there have been basically no arrests at all whereas last season we had arrests and raids all the time. We also had barely any McNulty this episode which was a first for the show. It was still good nonetheless but I'm still not that interested in the port crew. Stringer has proved himself to be a really slippery, ruthless character this episode and I just wonder what his endgame is. Is he looking to take over the operation entirely? Guess I'll find out
