The Shield

Holy crap, i thought they were going to have a bigger build up going into vic finding out, but that scene was so much better. Vic can't kill him and can't rat him out because it would mean the death of the strike team, but vic can't let him get away with what he did.

I think the way they presented this revelation give them a lot of room to really develop Ronnie's character. I'd love to see him step out of Vic shadow a bit and not be portrayed as such a "yes man".

What a great show. I just started watching this season after my girlfriend and I finished 24 seasons 1-5 on DVD. I have season 1 on dvd and am really hooked. Man Shane is really kinda of a screwup from the beginning from what I have seen so far. Great show and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

I agree. I would have thought that they would have drawn that out for over a longer period of time. To be honest, everything that last episode seemed rushed. From Vic figuring out that Shane killed Lem, to Shane getting over what he did, to Dutch seemingly burying the hatchet with Billings.

Don't get me wrong. I still thought it was a great episode, namely for the confrontation scene between Vic and Shane. That scene was awesome on so many levels. Vic can't rat out Shane because Shane could easily cut a deal with IA and send Vic and Ronnie to prison for a very long time. At the same time, there is a good deal of truth when Shane called Vic is a hypocrite: Vic has also murdered a cop. Granted, a cop working for the Feds and IA, but still a cop.

It is going to be interesting to see how they wrap this up.

Ironically, wheras the next episode felt rather fast, this one felt reather slow. I loved the sub plot (though i think the sex scene was abit too graphic considering its importance). The rest of the episode felt like Shane trying to stack pieces up against Vick and doing so as only an idiot with a plan can.

Wow that was some ep.

I didn't that that Armenian gal had the balls to do what she did. Shane is in WAY over his head.

That said, I keep getting the feeling the Barn is being played by Acevada's new ally. Something about him stinks, and it's not the burritos.

Considering that Acevada's ally is likely the person that tipped off the Biz Lats that the Feds had an undercover agent embedded with the Salvadorans.

S,

Yeah but it's more than that. I just don't think we're getting the whole picture. I keep thinking the guy has some nefarious scheme to break down the gangs so he can profit some how.

holy crap, 2 eps left? has it been 11 weeks already? This season sped by so god damned fast.....

Ya know I came into this season really not looking forward to the 'Hyatt' character, but count me converted. I think the writers have done a good job of blending him in. I like the way they have been able to make him Vic's ally, instead of being another foil.

I'm still not sold yet on Julian as a strike team member. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts when the really hits the fan.
