It might not be as sentimental and heart warming as you think. I saw an interesting explanation on this other day that I hadn't thought of before. Slim wasn't as loyal or as much of a soldier as he let on. He was actually really clever, he wanted to wear the crown, and he was scheming the entire time. This is the final part of his subtle scheme. He knows cheese is the biggest threat to him running things, and he took this opportunity to take him out while making it look like he did it for Joe. He also sent a strong message to the other dealers by executing one of them in cold blood in front of them. He switched from Avon to Joe, he was muscle for hire (a mercenary) so why would he have had any loyalty to Joe? Remember when Joe leaves cheese in charge and says Slim is gonna watch cheese? Well where was slim when cheese gave Joe up to Marlo, how did slim not know about Cheese scheming with Marlo if he was watching Cheese? Unless he did know and chose to let it happen, knowing that Marlo wouldn't last long and then he could take the reigns while looking like he ascended out of loyalty and grit.

This is why The Wire was so consistently brilliant, it portrayed the real reality of the street game. Cheese was all prepared for the big monologue, the big "It's our time now, it's MY time now", he was ready and willing and thinking he was about to step up and be the next big boss, the next head honcho shot caller... and five seconds later he's dead. That's real. That's realer than real. That's the drug game. And that's why The Wire is one of the best shows of all time.

Funny thing is too, if Marlo hadn't been taken out of the Game he would would have absolutely killed Cheese, and I have no doubt that was in his plans the whole time. Marlo wants people like Chris and Snoop who can be relied on to follow orders, he had some respect for Joe and knew what an incompetent, impulsive, treacherous snake his nephew was, and while he used those traits to his advantage there's no way he would have wanted someone like that in his organization. Cheese siding with a Machiavellian sociopath versus his loyal to a fault uncle shows more than anything what an utter moron he was.

In S5E04 they both suspect Cheese being the one who whispered to Marlo about Butchie, but Prop Joe said he'd only act against kin on more than words. Joe also knew Cheese well enough to predict that he would show money if he was actually responsible and told Charles to watch him. So when he showed money, Slim dropped him.

I think this scene shows how machiavellian Slim is. Joe told him to keep an eye on Cheese after Butchie's death. He knew that, if Cheese got suddenly richer, it would be a reward from Marlo. Plus, you see that Slim managed to gather all the money needed to buy the supply afterwards. I think Slim was bluffing, he made everyone believe that there weren't enough money because he knew that Cheese would jump on the opportunity and unmask himself. Then, Slim just had to kill Cheese in front of everyone for the checkmate. Therefore, Slim sent two strong messages: "This is what a traitor gets" and "I am the top dog now." Slim's definitely a great player.
@doomsncrew
10 жыл бұрын
I have been thinking about this a little more, and I think Fat Face Rick is part of the set-up too. I mean, think about the frequency of his remarks which are intended for Cheese, and the way he is saying them, like there is no particular intent behind what he says, I mean, he knows it would be pointless to damage Cheese's reputation and legitimacy head-on. And, of course, who's sitting next to Slim in front of the Greeks? Rick. The Co-op became a bicephalous organization once again, with one west-sider and one east-sider on top, like it was at the beginning with String and Joe.
@doomsncrew

I've been thinking about this again (lol) and I think that every single player who's part of the deal between the Co-op and the Greeks should be grateful towards Slim Charles for what he did to Cheese.

To me a guy like Slim can last longer in this game than a guy like Avon, he's got more flex in him and he's not hot-tempered like Avon. What i found remarkably interesting about Slim is not what he says, but what's behind what he says and what he does. By the way Avon is maybe the only one to have noticed it, when he said "stop double-talking me!" in season 3 when Slim had to tell that Avon's organization lacked muscle.

“There is no back in the day!” Prop Joe spent his last scene telling Cheese about how their ancestors were the first Black family on their block to own their home, and he was beaming with pride while recounting their story. The new generation like Marlo and Cheese lacked that connection to tradition and their past. Having no guiding tradition to steer them, they operated in a more nihilistic and violent way than the players even slightly older than them, like Avon and Prop Joe, who had that respect for their predecessors that in turn, made them more organic leaders and less willing to engage in self-destructive violence. Both generations played the same game, but the younger generation removed the familial aspect from it and along with it, cohesion and loyalty. Like Slim Charles said, “the game is the same, just got more fierce.”

@@meditationwithjoakim8363 I think it's brilliant. I love Simon and crew for taking it on for one thing. I live just outside of Baltimore,so the show really resonates as it's ripped from the headlines and the subsequent book about all the dirt these crooked ass "cops" were up to.

@Jay yeah, when he says ceo, it's in reference to serving under Marlo, which is why he said no disrespect, he knew to dip out but do business on his own ends as part of the co op instead of jumping when marlo says jump

Don't lose sight of the fact that this was in the finale. There's an added, satisfying subtext here where now Cheese is making a play to be the one who replaces Marlo..who replaced Prop Joe and Avon... So in this moment, in Cheeses head this was the beginning of his rise to power, but before he can even say "but now, you stand with me" he just gets shot in the head... subconsciously, you watch this and know that Slim Charles completely shutdown this next takeover in one second, where as we had just watched five years of there being one "Cheese" after another fighting to be top dog. It's super satisfying to, for once, see that process beginning and then get completely shut down in the same scene. Especially when it's a hated character, and especially when it's treated as a comedic moment like this. Brill. I. Ant. Writing

You couldn't be more wrong. The fact is that even with the choppy dialogue (I'll give you that much), Meth made the scene work. Aside from that it was a crescendo that satisfied the viewer. Prop Joe was too likeable to be betrayed by his own flesh and blood. Sentiment does count when you are building an allegory.

Rob Rose I think what makes this moment so brilliant is that the whole co-op is just concerned with money. No one is upset that Slim just shot a guy in front of all of them, but that he might have cost them money. And in the end, they all disperse, as though nothing has happened. No one cares about the twitching dead body in front of them, it's all about how they can recuperate after Cheese's death. Brilliant scene. It's the absolute indifference toward life that people show, but the real concern they have toward money and power.

I absolutely love how Slim Charles decided to give us a small spark of redemption after everyone loses in the end.

Slim was always a pawn, but was the smart one who made it to the other side of the board. He stayed quiet until a wannabe king (cheese) tried to get to take over and...then he took him out wisely, as a pawn would, not directly face to face but rather at a diagonal position while the king was focusing on what he perceived to be a threat.... Then bang, checkmate.

Slim's a rook. He's always been muscle, so he moves with the stash house. Even in this scene, he attacks horizontally.
