I completely disagree with people who say Omar's death should have been so much more climactic. This show is so subtle in its details and story telling technique that is both literate and realistic. I think Omar's death was foreshadowed continuously through out the show kids shouting his name on the streets out of fear in a playful way. The kid who shot Omar, I could empathize with his curiosity, since we were keeping up with him on the background as well. But most importantly, when Bunk talked with Omar about how kids imitate him in plays on the streets, imitating savageness and unconcern, that was one of the sorrows resided in him. It feels to me like he was killed by a shadow, and probably his own, because nobody could have got him on Baltimore streets, he was unbeaten.
