Looks like things are really going to get crazy as the show finishes it's final season!

So many possibilities!! How many weeks are left, anyone know?

Just finished watching it and wow. This show rocks.

Personally I think this season is at least as good, and in many ways better, than all of the previous seasons. Yet I know 5 "die hard" fans that say they feel disconnected and seem to have lost traction with the show.

Anyone else getting vibes like this?

I'll hate to see it end but I would so much rather it go out accelerating rather than fizzling like so many shows do

I watched my dad's season six dvd the other day. I wish i would have been watching it from the begining. It seems like a great series.:ss

I'm really looking forward to this next episode. After the way last week's show ended, it should be fantastic!

This show just took it up a notch! :tu How is it going to get any more crazy than last night.

Remember last year several of us agreed that the season finally was pretty 'lastluster'. I believe they are making up for it right now.

Not very often that I find myself anticipating the next episode.

Gophernut 10-22-2008 01:10 PM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
This was one of the best episodes I have seen, if not the best. Definitely the most tension! Loved the exchange between Ronnie and Steve about date #1 ending up at Ronnies!

gpugliese 10-22-2008 08:21 PM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
The best part is that there's still 5 episodes left!

gpugliese 10-23-2008 09:03 AM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
I'll be curious to see if Vic turning in his badge makes him useless to Pazuela (and ultimately ICE).

I can't wait to see who's left standing in the end. In the past, I figured Ronnie would be the only one left... but after his bad-ass plot lines in this season, I wouldn't be too surprised if he meets his death as well.

Talk about a crazy episode! Wow! After every episode I'm stuck waiting for more!!!

Gophernut 10-29-2008 11:28 AM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
This week's was a bit of a let down for me. Just seems like they are trying to stretch it out. I suppose they still have 4 episodes yet to fill.

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
Corrine is such a little *****.

She was always the weak link; Cavanaugh saw it first and exploited it. Now she's going to be the one who undoes Mackey, if the plotline holds.

Anyone else think Mackey might be headed to his last roundup?

I agree Corrine must be killed. She knows too much. Wait, sorry I got caught up in the moment. I think the writers have built up Mackey too much just to let him get killed by that punk Shane. I'm really suprized we haven't seen more of Tavon (sp?). Maybe he's the one that kills Shane.

It would be just, precisely the kind of perverse plot twist that Sutter would love to leave us with to have Shane survive and Mackey die.

But no, Shane is too much of a punk in the end to cap Mackey.

Things are getting INTENSE!

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
What do you think Admiral?

What's going to happen? I think Claudette and Dutch are going to take Vic down, by force. I get that feeling and it's just the kind of twist the writers would throw at us.

Redbaron 11-05-2008 01:10 PM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
I wanna see Ronnie go scott free, shane dead and vic in a cell with Antwon Mitchell.

I would love to see Dutch shoot Shane.

Does Dutch even have a gun? :r I just don't see anything happening to Vic. After 8 seasons of making Vic out to be a bad ass I highly doubt he can be taken down by mere mortals.

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
This show keeps getting better and better. I'm enjoying how they are spending "quality" time with Shane & family, almost as if they are working towards some sort of redemption for them, while bedeviling Vic & Ronnie and foreshadowing their downfall.

But then again with these writers, they could easily throw the entire show 180*, which is the awesome part!

Darrell 11-12-2008 06:37 PM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
We have 2 episodes left.

Any word if the finale will be 2 hours? I sure as hell hope so! :tu

Haven't found anything about it, but I would sure think it would need two hours to wrap everything up!

I think the last couple season finales have been 90 minutes, so that is what I would guess.

After tomorrow we have 1 more episode and then no more episodes, forever. :(

This is certainly a show that I will miss. When does Rescue Me start up again?

Speechless after tonight's episode.

Holy **** this show kicks all sorts of ass. IMHO, Vic taking immunity cemented his death at the hands of Ronnie.

Great Episode last night!!!!!!!!!

I guess we'll find out in the last 90 mins of The Shield next week!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly. Ronnie is getting the short end of the shaft. Vic hanging him out to dry to save the two faced Corrine really bugs me.

Darrell 11-19-2008 09:12 AM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
Yeah, Ronnie is going to end up finding out that Vic took the immunity deal and is leaving him out to dry.

Can you believe how Claudette flipped out at Dutch? She is crazy!!

I am so excited for next week, damn is it Tuesday yet?

icehog3 11-19-2008 09:52 AM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
Excited for next Tuesday! :D

Then Wednesday, I will be sad.

phidelt076 11-19-2008 09:56 AM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
Great episode last night!

I can't think of any scenario that doesn't end with Vic not getting shot. I almost want to put my money on Claudette after her "episode" last night. Leaving Ronnie out to dry will in some form or fashion be the end of Vic.

Darrell 11-24-2008 01:38 PM

Re: Weekly discussion for "The Shield"
 
Tomorrow we say goodbye to the Shield. Forever. :(

He wasn't on the SpecOps unit was he? I don't see how he could pass the background check with this current investigation going on. :D

Can you even believe Vic confessed to the things he did? Ha-ha! They all about crapped a brick listening to him. Tonight is going to be nuts! :dance:
