“How my hair look, Mike?” “It’s kinda fucked up in the back I ain’t gon’ lie.” 💥🔫

Chris always reassured the victims Before killing them, she asked Mike how her hair looked so she could go the same way, reassured

One of the best aspects of this scene is where mike asks snoop 'aint you wonder if he even deserve any of this shit'. It's clear that this has double meaning, as he is simultaneously asking about the hit snoop has arranged for mike, and whether mike deserves it. When she says 'deserve aint got nuttin to do with it', he looks down, confirms what he has to do and then asks her to pull over. just goes to show how smart and logical mike is, and how his moral code stands at odds with snoop and marlo

Yall taught me. Get there early.. Well played. Covered his angles without raising top much suspicion. Even got her to stop driving so she had no situational advantage. Beautiful.

She’s so manipulative that she even put on R&B to help put him at ease.

Love how in the end he turns out like the next Omar, Trained by the best drug dealers and schooled by the best killers .. Now he's his own man

"How my hair look, Mike?" "Oh, I'm 'bout to blow that out, girl. Don't worry 'bout it."

Mike would have left Snoop alive if she knew the lyrics to "Shake it Jiggle it"

Snoop was straight up G,no begging no pleading. “Just how’s my hair look?”.

Possibly the most touching and respectfully handled death scene on television.

''its his time thats all'' and she accepted it was her time to go. she lived by the sword and died by the sword. most badass moment from the show

Mike at such a young age was already becoming somewhat of a legend on the streets. He killed one of Marlo's top enforcers and basically outwitted the Stanfield crew. He now took over Omar's old role. He did this all while being basically still a teenager.

I think he did care about her. She was kind of one of his mentors. He was just doing what he had to do.

the dog barking after shot makes this scene real as hell .

The gun not being there as usual..confirmed his suspicions. 😏

The smartest thing Mike did in this scene was stay on his "different opinion" shit so Snoop never suspected anything.

" You look good girl" besides the actuality of what's happening. The way he said that LAAAWD ! Lol

Deserve got nothing to Deww with it Lol

“It’s how you curry yourself”

Notice Mike hold's the gun properly. Omar always did as well.

"Always apart" that weakness in Snoop's eyes is ironically what kept Mike off Omar's list.

Weirdly enough, it feels like Michael understands at the last minute why Snoop is the way she is. Its as if Michael figured it out too at the end and shows compassion by saying something kind to her. Her selfless, soulless character suggests to me that maybe she wasn't given a lot of love or appreciation as an individual in her life. She acts depersonalized throughout the entire show and finally reserves for herself a moment to be selfish and acknowledge her own person. She gives herself a last chance at it. Michael says it back to her instinctively as if he almost expected it, being in a position where he could empathize. What a a special work of art.

Mike thought outside the box. That’s what made them feel uneasy about him

You know his ears where ringing after that shot

Snoop went out like a true 'g'. No begging, no nothing. She could dish it and take it.

this is one of the best scenes in the history of tv...."how my hair look , Mike?"....." u look good girl"......CLASSIC

When Mike and Snoop are talking about Walter they're really talking about Mike thats crazy

This is why Michael was my favorite character in the whole show.

No matter how much you hate snoop, you can’t deny she faced death like a G.

A masterpiece. Even down to the bleakness of the dogs barking in the background. Absolutely perfect television.

One of the best scenes I've ever seen on television. Like many people I thought Snoop was a total piece of shit. But she dies so beautifully and with such dignity that it's hard not to like her, even if it is for the wrong reasons. Felicia and Tristan also did a fantastic job and they get much credit for bringing this slice of the story to life.

For someone who did not come up through the ranks as an actor you have to wonder how there's so much going on in on snoop's face when she turns towards the window and runs her hand through he hair. It's really incredible when you think about it. She did a great job.

One of the most respectful kills in the show

"deserve got nothing to do with it" a philosophy of life

"Always apart, always asking why..." just like kid Omar, who demanded they give back the 16 dollars in his prequel from the 80s.

I doubt that, he just had a moment of compassion. A lot of people would in that situation, he didn't WANT to kill Snoop, but he had little choice.

nah the show definitely ended when it was supposed to... had it gone on any longer it would have gotten redundant... there was never any closure or finality when it ended cause as we are constantly reminded on this show "The Game is the Game" and the game will go on...same game different characters... Mike=Omar, Dukie=Bubbles, Valchek=Rawls etc etc the drug trade continues and the people of Baltimore continue with their lives

“How my hair look, Mike?” I love this last exchange. I was watching clips of the wire out of curiosity when they started popping up for me. This was one of the first clips I saw and it wasn’t like any “hit” or “whacked” scene I’d ever encountered before and got me curious. I knew how most characters died like that before I even saw the show, it was still poetry in motion for me.

dope , scene "you look good girl " bang .... i used quotes from this series all the time , if people only knew lol

"How my hair look Mike?" POP! "Smokin!"

2:00 - 2:06 The Snoop character spend's the entire time on screen being androgynous/masculine, yet the last experience of her life involves her showing femininity...and being admired by a man for her beauty. Deep shit..

“How my hair look, Sam?” “You looks good Gib…”

There’s something haunting in how Snoop seems to immediately accept her death

As soon as she said: “It’s how you carry yourself”, Mike knew she gave him no recourse. There was basically no turning back, because there wasn’t anything he could do about how he carried himself at that point. If she agreed he didn’t turn Chris into the police, he might have let her go, saying to tell Marlo he had nothing to do with it. But the ‘carry yourself’ comment by Snoop tipped him off they were planning on executing him no matter what. They had basically backed Mike into a corner and meeting with Snoop was necessary to find out what was going on so he didn’t end up in “one of those vacants”. There would be no compromise and Mike knew with Marlo’s crew it was basically a zero sum game at that point. Marlo and his crew was brutal, but had become predictable and there wasn’t a way out through some alternative route, like there might have been with someone like Avon.

Magic. Snoop would not beg for her life. I love it. She basically reinforced his courage.

First time I saw this scene, watching the window explode like that gave me chills! Awesome

Mike saying "You look good, girl" after Snoop asked him how her hair looks was a bit like giving a cigarette to a man about to face a firing squad. Snoop had to deny her feminine side, because showing it would be seen as weakness by the gangsters she dealt with. Asking Mike how her hair looks when she knows she's about to die is a way of expressing remorse that she never got to express that side of her. And Mike saying that she looks good is an expression of sympathy and understanding.

There were to lessons to Omar's death. It's always the ones you least expect, and what goes around comes around.

You was never one of us, and you never could be

1:56/1:57 when she realise that she's about to die and starts to look in the mirror is the only time in the whole series where she shows a glimmer of fear/humanity. It's gone in a second when she accepts she's done.

So underrated. Dude became Omar. Wish he could have clipped Marlo.

too much heart to realise what he does is wrong, not enough to leave the game A lot like Omar

Snoop isn't feminine at all and I didn't even know if she was a girl. When she asks how her hair looks before she dies I think it kind of distinguished her as a woman probably the only feminine thing she did all show

and life continues after this...crazy how this happens everyday ....and has been for years ....life just goes on

great show. perfect amount of seasons. classic.

Seeing this scene reminded me of something I read from this English gangster's book about his time as a gangster. His friend told him to meet at a place where they'd pick him up in a a car and he'd be taken somewhere to do a hit. When they told him not to bring a gun and that they already had one hidden for him to use (like Snoop said to Michael here) he knew they were gonna kill him

Over a Decade ago. Viewed present day, just as fresh.

its the concept of the get gonna get got, and mike knew if he didnt do something he was gonna get got,its jus part of the game

That what made The Wire so good! Main cast members got done. The Wire was such an underrated show.

snoop picked Mike up to kill him cuz chris in jail for killing Mike's dad or sum and she thought Mike snitched so she was about to drive him somewhere to kill him but she didn't know Mike was strapped. So when the time came Mike pull it out. She said "howd you know" meaning how you know about this settup and Mike said "get there early" which chris taught Micheal.. don't want nobody setting me up while om settin them up

Snoop was probably 1 of the most gangster bad guys I've ever seen on TV and she did a great job with it.

Doubt if her hair looked very good after

This is one of my favorite scenes of the whole show. I liked snoop too, I just thought it was awesome how mike got the jump, and snoop went out like a real one. Idk just really love this scene

she was gonna kill him cuz they thought he was snitchin

Went out like a G

I feel like Chris trusted Mike more after training him & learning his dad molested him it was hard for Chris too feel like he told on him because he did something too a man that did things too michael that happened to him also as a kid but he couldn’t defend himself so he took the anger out and beat bugs dad too death Chris taught Michael a lot of things snoop really didn’t like Mike because of his great Intuition he was a observer and leader big paws on a small pup like Marlo stated snoop hated his intuition and his thinking things through thoughts & she met her match Michael was smart and saw right through the bs just played it smooth

that was a quiet ass shot for a gun with no silencer.... still even tho snoop was a cold-hearted killer i felt for her in this scene. The Wire is hands-down one of the best and realest shows to hit TV... i just wish they didnt decide to end it

The actress playing Snoop is THAT PERSON IN REAL LIFE. The character bears the actress's real name (Felicia Pearson) AND nickname ("Snoop"). The actress IN REAL LIFE walks, talks, dresses, and wears her hair exactly like the character. The actress IN REAL LIFE has done time for murder and heroin. Google "Felicia Pearson" and you'll find videos of the news coverage of the actress in interviews (a lesbian, like the character) and in television news (convictions for heroin distribution, etc.). It is AMAZING. All this time I thought she was just a supremely good actress and she's just being herself.

It'd be funny if it was O-Dog in this scene. "How my head look man" "You look good girl" *bang* ".....I'm still gonna take the charge for yall?"

"where my gun?" "in the trap...get it when we set up" He already knew Chris and Snoop game to set others up before they set up...even said they taught him to get their early...He never let Death get one over on him

Wow… I know I’m so late, never knew there was a great movie/series like this one. Gonna have to watch it from the beginning then. Been too busy watching Boyz in da Hood and Menace // Society back and forth and didn’t notice bout this one 😅😅😅🔥

it doesn't get much better than this

She was one of my favorite characters. Shame to watch her go.

I love how they lit Mike in this scene from 1:21 on, the shadow over his eyes...

They taught him to be quick and smart

and that line is ... cant find the word but he lives on in my memory. "HOW MY HAIR LOOK MIKE?" YOU LOOK GOOD GIRL."

It was him or her, smart move mike

ICarly reenacted this scene when Sam shot Gibby

Snoop was my favorite character. This made me sad, I loved her fatalistic attitude.

Most characters in the Wire beg before being hit. Even String and Prop Joe to an extent. Snoop said "hows my hair look?"

Dope scene #bestshow

*starts crying

best series ever

Bumbing that t pain dope song back in the day

"it ain't got nothing to dew with it"

Mike kinda became the "new omar" at the ending with him running around with that shotgun and all

WOW! The insane thing is I finally started checking out 90210 over here in the UK and didnt even make the connection that it was the same actor! Shouldnt even call myself a huge fan of The Wire but it just goes to show how good an actor he is - both characters are miles apart.

Mike adapted quick to the game💯💯

Only thing I don’t 100% buy in this scene is that snoop would have pulled over into a deserted alley like this. She would have had her guard up as she was always suspicious of Mike’s loyalty, and she knew full well what he was capable of having trained him herself. “Smart .... , you always was”, snoop would have had more respect for his skill set than to leave herself vulnerable like this. Also, we are talking about someone who murdered dozens of ppl taking them down quiet alleys at night, she would have recognized this setup in her sleep. The irony of snoop meeting her death like this is definitely poetic, but this scene in general doesn’t ring true to me.

“Dezerrv ain’t gone nun to deeew wit it mayne!”

I give me a wire 20 yr update mini series with Mike and I’d be all over it.

Snoop was the realest character even down to her last moment.

Did anybody know snoop played herself in the show and was really bout that life

snoop: how my head look mike mike: dont worry it wont even be attached to your body

You Don't Ever Wanna Be The Last One To A Party.....
