I was really disappointed to find out that everyone loves Kima, but no one really talks about her.
It is most frustrating! With Daniels you get the sense that they know each other very well and that she respects him (and vice versa), but she doesn't hero-worship, so when she tells McNulty that Daniels will fight for the case, it doesn't come out as "he's the greatest, of course he will!" but as a reasoned judgment. With McNulty I get the sense that there was an undercurrent of sexual interest on his side before he figured out (well, was point blank told) that she was playing for the other team, while she has him sized up pretty quickly and is occasionally amused, but mainly they're comrades-in-arms who work really well together. And yes, Herc and Carver were very much fuckup little brothers, first complaining that they have to listen to big sis and then freaking out when someone dares to shoot her.
