The Wire's McNutty (and now even Lester) have gone down a treacherous road of inventing a serial killer in hopes to push the city for more funds. It's a turn that began last week, but has a lot of folks screaming 'shark jump' with the inclusion of Lester into the mix. Bunk again provides the comedic relief, but his point of view this season is quite in line with viewers: 'I don't believe what I'm seeing!' Like Bunny's Hamsterdam, though, there's a lot of reasons that our beloved characters are breaking bad. Besides the economic frustations -- no OT payouts for months now, broken down vehicles, etc. -- there's also this season's Moby Dick obsession in Marlo Stanfield, an investigation gutted by the Major Crimes Unit shutdown. When Lester staked out Marlo last week on his own time, creator David Simon was hinting that he was breaking as well, so the shock that he's down with McNutty's crazy scheme should be lessened at least a bit.
