And of course, Herc is the one who gives Carver Marlo's cell number midway through season 5, looking like he'll end up a hero of sorts until the final episode's events that leave him schmoozing with Levy. That sums up exactly your spot-on assessment of him as a character.

The thing that stops me calling season five great -- even though I enjoyed it, especially the final episodes -- was I felt we were being spoonfed things too often.
Too many didactic speeches, too many lines that were just too cute or even cliched, too much David Simon wanted to say directly about the media, city hall, you name it.
The Wire before always showed me things; it didn't have to tell me them.
