I remember first time i saw this, i was just blown away by Randy going "You don't need to feel bad, you tried". I mean, he's going into a group home, and he knows that word probably spread about him snitching, so he's gonna get beat up by everyone. Repeatedly. And despite that, he has enough strength of character to imagine how Carver is feeling, and try to make him feel better. That was just amazing

His look to Poot as if to say "Nah. This is my stand. This is how I gotta go." He knew he was dead. No running. Just standing strong. A true soldier.

If I was Carver I'd be visiting Randy everyday. Make sure he see's a friendly face, let him know he's not alone. That way he doesn't become cold like he is later on. UPDATE 2021 - My girlfriend is watching the show for the first time. Gotta point out that the final downfall of Randy is Carver's fault. When Carver let Herc talk to Randy, that's when the spiral really happens. Herc pulls in Little Kevin, damn near tells Kevin it was Randy, Kevin then relates that news to Marlo and there you go.

He didn't have time for that. And there will most certainly be more Randys, and Dukies and Michaels and Namonds. You can't save them all. You may not even be able to save yourself. That's a big part of what The Wire is about: the futility of dreams in the face of reality (remember Stringer's dream for him and Avon [B&B Enterprises]?). You do the best you can, you try to rise above your fate (what the Greeks wrote tragedies about), but life's going to hand you mostly Ls. You have to know that.

If the previous characters are anything to go by he either became a gangster like his father (Cheese) or that 'rat' rumour followed him around until someone popped him for it. Such a shame, like the rest of the kids he showed so much potential only to be chewed up by the system.

Bodie always gave me the impression that he ALWAYS had something to prove despite not having much in life. Randy is now forced to prove he's not a snitch; we see Randy "learned his lesson" to keep his mouth shut when Bunk visits him in the group home. Even his attitude is different towards the end

The next time it might have been 5 dudes hopping out of an SUV and dragging him into a vacant where no one would ever know what happened to him. Nah he went out on his terms. Fighting. He knew he was a deadman. Look at the way he shakes off Poot. This is his last stand and he knows it. He's dead either way and he'd rather someone knew and his grandma could give him a funeral.

Michael = Omar & Dukie = Bubbles are the clearest metaphors but the others are open for interpretation. We see so many adult characters in the show that it’s fair to draw similarities to a lot of them. Randy is so tragic as he had the clearest potential to get out and be something good (intelligent, kind, humane etc) but an unlucky set of circumstances led him to being tied in to the game forever. Whereas Namond was basically the opposite. He was a bit of a delinquent and initially didn’t seem to care about anything but himself and was a spoilt brat but a lucky set of circumstances saw him get lifted out of it. Randy probably deserved the lucky break more, especially as Namond only met Colvin through being a little shit and getting sent to the other classroom. Randy’s stuck in the game and we can all guess whether he becomes Stringer/Prop Joe or Wallace/Bodie. In any case, none of them have a happy end. Namond gets lifted out of it but we know that there are plenty of characters outside the game that aren’t exactly good guys. So he could become a Colvin or he could go the other way and become Clay Davis. Seems more likely that he’ll be a Clay as he’s always had things handed to him with no work by Delonda and then by Colvin (despite it being a great thing that Colvin did). Randy makes me the saddest though because every character you draw comparisons to ends up getting killed even though they could have achieved anything they wanted

think of it from a metaphorical point of view. The kids represented the game rebuilding itself from politics to the street. Michael becomes a stickup artist, Namond focuses on school (more than likely becomes a politician) duquans a druggie, kenard becomes a hitman (Chris, Weebay, etc), and Randy realizes that theres no way out and adapts to the environment (like bodie) . The show depicts the game as being unavoidable so you either make things better (Mike and Namond) or adapt Randy and Duquan.

Randy was not the next Bodie. He was the next Stringer Bell. Randy was way to smart to be Bodie, he has a natural Business sense. He once told Mr.Prezbo in class that he wanted to own a grocery store when he grew up...and in season 2 at Avon's Welcome Home from Jail party, Avon & String were talking and reminiscing about growing up together, Avon jokes on String about how String use to want to own Grocery stores in the neighborhood. Also String didn't have any blood relatives in the show, and after placing a hit on Avon's nephew he told Avon to his face that he didn't believe in the "Blood is thicker than Water" rule. I can definitely imagine Randy feeling the same way as he grows older seeing as how he never had a family.

Remember when Mike said his first kill shouldn't be someone he knew ? That is why because it would have made him hesitant like Bodie with Wallace. Bodie defended "the Pit", defended and his corner more than a couple of times, with bats and guns. He even spoke out in meetings with Avon about protecting their territory and reputation even at the cost of their lives. He followed orders and played his position even when he didn't want to , that is what a soldier does.

A really funny idea crossed my mind. I was re-watching the wire, and after I finish the 5th season, it got to me. In the very final scenes, we can see that Sydnor goes down McNulty's path, Dukie goes down Bubs path and Michael becomes a new stick-up boy, just like Omar. Pretty much everyone takes on a role that we already know from the series (except for the Bunk; the Bunk stay the Bunk). So, I was thinking, does this mean that Omar and Bubbles used to be tight? :p

I think the difference between the two was bodie was always a soldier who lived by the code. That is why he loved Avon, because Avon was always so big on the code and rules of the game. Bodie hated Marlo because he didn’t follow the rules of the game. Randy showed signs of being selfish and not respecting the code of the streets. I’m not sure who the next Bodie was but Michael is the next Omar.

As far as personality traits and personal motivations go, Randy had more in common with Stringer Bell than Bodie. Like Stringer, he knew how to hustle and he new who to sell his product to. We see that when he skipped class to sell candy to underclassmen. And how he compromised with Mr. Prezbo on using his credit card by winning money in dice game to pay him back, is the same type of compromise Stringer used by making a co-op with Prop Joe and the other East side bosses to get the best drugs in the city to sell. And Randy's snitching was him throwing people under the bus in order for him to survive or escape problems, as Stringer did when he set Omar on Mouzone, when he set Avon up, killing D, etc. And Randy learned to act hard in the street to survived and be respected when he really doesn't doesn't have it in him; which is the problem Stringer had, as Avon pointed out when he said, "you not hard enough for this right here, and maybe, just maybe, not smart enough for them out there."

I disagree. Stringer Bell likely had a decent upbringing or at least stable, but he liked the money from the drug game. On the other hand, Randy was just a hustler and originally wasn't cut out for drugs. However, once he went thru the system at the boys home, he likely would have gone back out on the streets and become a gangster or hitman.
