The Swede - I like it. I've been just as frustrated trying to assemble 'easy to assemble' furniture. And I have an engineering degree. Kima wrecking the damn thing was a quick and easy way to show her frustration with everything - the System, her personal life, raising a child, domesticity, etc.

Anyway, the death of Omar does play on the theme about the next gen being more ruthless than ever. We thought Michael was a tough kid, but Kenard makes him look like a sentimental softie. I can't even imagine who/what comes after Kenard. And yet more proof that smoking can seriously harm your health and may lead to death.

Did ya'll notice that when Carcetti went home and his wife came down the stairs he never touched her, kissed her or anything? No "hi honey, I'm home"; all he cared about was checking himself out on the tee vee. Not a lot of love on this show. But it's a cold world after all.
