The Shield

The Shield General Discussion:

All Shield discussion shall take place here

Quote:

The Shield breaks the conventional formula of the cop genre. It plays out in a tough, morally ambiguous world in which the line between good and bad is crossed every day. The series focuses on the tension between a group of corrupt but effective cops and a captain torn between bringing them down and advancing his own political ambitions. The Shield stars Michael Chiklis as rogue cop "Det. Vic Mackey," leader of the elite Strike Team unit, who is effective at eliminating crime but who operates under his own set of rules.

Spoiler:

I can't believe Shane killed Lem, he didn't just kill him either, he blew him up. Although this does confirm that there will be a season 6, only question is will Vic kill Shane??

I think it would have been better if the grenade had gone off, but Lem had survived and we could of then seen if he would have ratted Shane out or killed him, but also whether he still would have trusted Vic.

Its made even worse by the fact that it was Lem who took the heroin in the first place to get Shane out of trouble, otherwise they wouldn't be in this mess.

Current Season: 5
Current Episode: 11

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just think it would kind of suck to have a 3 man strike team, face it you can't replace Lemansky, he was the one that kept the team honest, but at the same time would go along with whatever they did.

What I don't get is

Spoiler:

Why did Vic fuck his wife, sure it screwed with Kavanaugh's head but that was more random than spiteful.

The show is still definately great, although in series 4-5 theres something missing that was in the first 3 series that made the show epic. Personally I didn't like the Atwon Mitchell storyline. I think its shifted more to them trying to cover there asses rather than busting some skulls and bringing in the big perps, which I think is a shame because I love their style of brutal policing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes but in series 1-3 they were covering their ass' but were still bringing down all the big drug dealers and gangs. Bringing in the perps while still covering their behinds added that extra bit of suspense and pressure, to see how they could achieve both aims. But I must admit at least they have managed to keep the drama going throughout all 5 series.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

When they did that fake deal with the Russians to show up Kavanaugh, really brought back the charm of the previous series. The one thing that makes it so good in my opinion is that, yes they are a brutal team of cops but at the same time are very swift and intelligent in keeping a step ahead.

Seasons 1-5 are all downloadable via torrents, and are seeded decently, you should more or less be able to find them all following the link in the first post.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I love how they saved Vic at the end of season 6 with the mysterious box in the trunk, although it was anti-climatic it means season 7 will be war because of what he and Aceveda found in there.

The question remains will Vic a) go unpunished b) ass in jail c) Die I mean they have to end it somehow. Seems like Aceveda is probably gonna get it too.
