one of the weaker matchups...going with Micheal Lee I guess, he had more depth.

I voted for the Cheese. What can I say I like Method Man.

Yeah Cheese was awesome. Like every scene with him is great.

Well, his character's development is a pretty big part of the last two seasons. So I don't know, why not a #2? I mean if Prop Joe and Clay Davis are #2's, what's the problem with Michael?

Reseeding this would take too long. My only major qualm is no Slim Charles.

I forgot how great he was in that whole dogfighting scene. Now I want to change my vote.

Especially the interrogation room scene, genius. Although perhaps one of my favorite moments of the whole series was when Charles kills him.

Seriously? Clay Davis is probably 1 or 2 overall on the whole damn show. And Prop Joe deserves to be a 2. Michael Lee was an important character but he wasn't a great one.

I mean you could argue over the seeding or you could just vote against him.

You'd never get everyone to agree on the seeding anyway.

I wasn't suggesting we should reseed (that was bloor). I was just commenting. I did vote against Michael but I felt more strongly that neither Michael nor Cheese were especially great characters than I did that Cheese should win over Michael.

Yep. In the end, I couldn't vote against Meth-Tical.

Michael Lee is one of the more interesting characters on the show in my opinion. Certainly the most depth. He starts off innocent with a strong moral compass; taking care of Bug and standing up for Dukie. Hell, doesn't he even stand up to Marlo at some point?

He gets involved with BOTH Stanfield and Barksdale crews and KILLS SNOOP.

Cheese has some great scenes but for me, Michael's development was WAY more interesting.

It's a tough comparison because it's so arbitrary. Michael's character arc is a pivotal part of the show while Cheese is one of the many awesome details that made it so much fun.

Michael is totally a good character that I really cared about and was pretty invested in. But Cheese to me is representative of what really put the show over the top, all the great peripheral characters and details that gave it so much added charm and depth.

Michael wins.

But seriously, one of the best scenes.
