OT - "The Shield' (for Geo)

[Atrocities]

Don't get me wrong, I like the series. I like a lot of the more hard core, anti politically correct, less than liberal friendly shows that have been coming out in recent years. From the Shield to 24 the field of action TV is alive and hopefully doing well.

The UNIT has been a good show so far and I am looking forward to seeing more of it. "I have my best man out there in the woods. If you give me up, he will come down here and shoot you dead. You, you, and you panic, the rest of you come with me."

I just love it.

The Saprono's, after being off for over a year is finally coming back... well about GD time!

You know, I was watching the news the other day, MSNBC, and some guy was *****ing about how liberals are being prevented from speaking. That there message is being serquestered. I thought that comment to be very odd given that liberals control most of hollywood thus they have direct influeance over the tv we watch and the movies we go and see. I then though that perhaps that is why TV viewer ship for such shows as Boston Legal, the West Wing, and so many others is down and perhaps this might also be why viewership for such hard hitting shows such as the Shield, the Saprano's, and most recently the UNIT are up. Oh ya, could it also be that the influence of certain folks is also way movie sales are way down and have been dropping for years?

Who knows. I just hope that they don't start to mess with the shows that are worth watching.

Wow. Freaking wow.

I don't know what else to say about the season finale.

I've been kind of feeling that we were heading towards something like this for the last couple episodes. And about halfway through last nights show I told my wife what was going to happen. But even then I was hoping I was wrong.

In my lifetime of watching TV there are probably only about ten or so things that I've seen that floored me and left me speechless. And 4 of them have been from "The Shield". Terry's murder, the assault of Acevedo, Dutch's psycho "kitten" moment, and last night.

This show has to be the greatest cop show ever, and probably one of the best T.V. shows period.

I'm stunned.

Yeah last nights episode left me really empty, and I was really quiet for a long time. Not the way I wanted the season to end to be honest, though I thought, like you, that it was coming to that.

It is going to be an interesting season next year to say the least

Just watched it tonight (recorded) and, well, when Shane wasn't tailed, I started worrying 'cause he's shown his allegiance in the past. I just didn't know it would be a grenade!

Geo's right. Some unbelievable things have happened on this show. Surprised the network pushes the envelope like they do. And I had forgotten about the kitten .

Show definitely keeps you wanting more!
