    Had an epiphany about McNulty last week

    Basically he's very similiar to the Al Pacino character in "Heat" who explains ruefully that "all I am is who I'm after" as his marriage is unraveling and his step daughter is suicidal.

    Guys like this have to have a mission and anything else falls way down on their priority list. IF he actually takes down Marlo and magically gets away with all the stuff he's pulled it's not like he'll then make it up to Beadie (sp?) her two kids plus his own two kids. He'll be looking for the next dragon to slay and be more convinced than ever that he can out-clever everyone.
