[edit] Omar was not scheduled to be killed off in Season 1

"[T]he character was initially slated to appear in just seven episodes of the first season before dying."

Although Michael K. Williams stated this in a number of media interviews, it is not true, according to The Wire creator David Simon, but was simply the result of Williams' misunderstanding something that was told him during the shooting for Season 1; see Simon's interview with Newark Star-Ledger TV critic Alan Sepinwall at <http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/2008/03/wire-david-simon-q.html>. (This is rather a long interview, but a search for the name "Omar" should turn up the relevant passage.) Dodiad (talk) 08:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I've added the reference you give to the article and tried to clarify that Williams believed the character was to die while the creators did not. What do you think?--Opark 77 (talk) 10:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
