I was wondering who people thought did not make it through the last episode alive? I believe one of the cops doesn't make it --**Potential SPOILER below!** I read an article in the Guardian about the last week of production and Dominic West stated that they were filming a cop wake scene, so I feel pretty confidently that one of them is not going to make it through the end. Here is a link if you are interested (scroll down to Dominic West and look under Wednesday Guardian article End Possible Spoiler. In addition to the above mentioned, who do you think is not going to make it and why?

WireU...I think you're reading too much into the prequel thing. Just because they showed prequels of Omar, who was killed, and Prop Joe too, doesn't mean Bunk's gonna get whacked too just because they did a prequel on him with McNulty in it. If that's the case, does that mean Rawls dies too? He was in that prequel with Bunk and McNulty. The prequel is just a short story, giving you a little idea as to where each character came from.
I don't think it was a preview. A preview of what? It was a prequel; just showing the characters at an earlier time in their lives, or on a show.
Now if McNulty dies, it will be because he was in a drunken stupor, and ran his car off a bridge. I see no significance on the show wherein Bunk dies. Why would Bunk get killed?

This actually is what happens. I have the transcript from the scene.

I normally wouldn't post on a spoiler thread unless I had seen the actual episode in person, but this time I'll make an exception:
I've heard from someone who alleges to have watched the finale that McNulty gets kicked off the force, and then they have a wake for him, like as a joke. Not because he's dead, but because he got fired. I take every spoiler I hear with a grain of salt but for the most part, I trust this person.

I really hope Prez helps Dukie. I also thought that was him in the preview to the finale. Dukie is a vulnerable character. I don't see Dukie as a male prostitute, he already lined up work with the scrap metal guy.
I hope McNulty makes it but he has to be high on the list of potential deaths.
I can't imagine Bunk not making it.
Carver will surivive.
Herc might not.
Randy is vulnerable as he is in a volatile situation and there is still the open deal with whehher Cheese is his father and aho knows how and if that will be answered/get some play.
I don't see Kima not making it. She will deal with turning on McNulty.
Landsman could have a heart attack going off on McNulty![]:)](http://boards.hbo.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif)
Kenard could get loud with the wrong person. I think he could go.
Cheese possibly, but I see Slim Charles as a survivor.

Turning Dukie into a junkie prostitute would be a horrible way to end this show.

"I don't think Dukie is going to make it. After seeing eps 59 I don't think he will last very long."
The writers have really dragged us back and forth with our sweet-natured, highly-intelligent Dukie. When Prez became his mentor -- no doubt the first adult, ever in Dukie's life, to take a real interest in him -- things looked good. Then, at the end of Season 4, we see Dukie as a corner boy and think he's reached a tragic conclusion. In Season 5, however, Michael pulls Dukie off the corner and, once again, we believe there might be some hope.
The end of Episode 59 was frightening -- Dukie on his own and homeless. Then, the previews for the series finale suggested that Duke might have to resort to prostitution (the man driving away and saying that they'd probably never see each other again).
Most of the regular characters from past seaons are getting a final bow in Season 5 (Cutty at the gym, Elena talking to McNulty at her front door, Poot as athletic shoe salesman, Colvin and Namond at the school debate, etc.). We haven't seen Prez yet. Maybe he'll turn up and help Dukie?

I don't think Dukie is going to make it. After seeing eps 59 I don't think he will last very long.

"Beatrice's words saved him."
I agree that Beadie saved McNulty...at least for now (we're talking about our self-destructive Jimmy McNulty, after all).
First, during a previous episode, McNulty really listened when his ex-wife told him that he'd been throwing away the best thing in his life -- Beatrice. Then, McNulty heard every one of Beadie's very wise, tough-loving words outside the rowhouse. McNulty sobered-up, and stopped picking up every tramp in the bar, when he realized that he might actually lose Beatrice.
When Beadie drew the picture of Jimmy's funeral, she was showing him what might be -- what would be -- if he didn't stop his downward spiral.

1. All cops have Irish wakes, it's not a ritual that is reserved only for those of Irish ancestry.
2. The conversation with Beatrice wasn't about death but an affirmation of life. Mcnulty had the benefit of starting over and actually succeeding; he already saw what failure looked like with his past family. Look at his reaction to coming home and thinking Beatrice had left him. He didn't drink or try to lose himself in police work but rather was paralyzed by the thought of failing again.
McNulty's loss of euphoria over a bust shows that he is concerned about his "real" life which is family and isn't satisfied with the substitute of work.
Beatrice's words saved him.

The Wake is for Jimmy McNulty but it's the death of his career, not the person. It's funny too.

I'm guessing that Dominic West was having some fun with us. I think that the "wake" was Beadie's lecture about how, at the end of a person's life, nobody matters except family and maybe a few close friends. Beadie was giving McNulty a preview of his own wake -- none of his drinking pals and nameless sexual partners will even know or care that he's dead.

I think that McNulty is going to blow his brains out and leave a note saying he is the homeless killer.

yeah....that wasnt a prequel...that was a preview...that actually happened in the 1st episode of season 5....
the Joe, Omar, & Bunk/McNulty is some extra incite on the legendary characters that I too believe will meet their demise!!
