Let's talk about 'The Shield' *SPOILERS*

[SuikodenII]

A dude got mouth raped on this show

Seeing that gang episode clip where dude was dancing into the police car, I can't take this shyt serious

I don't know that cat scene had me like.

I think that would have been a good ending but it might have over shadowed vic's ending.

Yeah, that scene fukked me up too. I just say he did that shyt out of curiosity. iirc he looked shocked when he dropped the cat.

The scrapped plot of Dutch being a serial killer does sound interesting but the show already had a lot of vile muthafukkas

I think I would have gone into a depression if Dutch was made to be a serial killer.

 

[The G.O.D II]

When Vic was sitting there confessing every thing he'd done

That was such a powerful scene. He was like how much time you got? It was hilarious when he was finished the fed lady was sitting there like , dutch and claudette busted in like , and the guy recording was like . That scene and when they busted Ronnie while he was sitting in the room like it was all sweet was great TV. It was amazing how the team self destructed over the seasons. Co-sign on the Shield being better then the Wire. Every single season of the shield was great and introduced memorable characters. Season 2 and 5 of the wire were mediocre as hell. The only complaint was how smoothly and easily they got out of situations that should have buried them. Some of the things they did was but it was still great because of the storylines. I started rewatching the series a few months ago but dropped off on the last one.

my fav show ever I watch all 7 seasons at the start of the year

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

one of my favorite dramas. That grenade scene has to be one of the top shocking moments in tv history. And it def had the best series finale out of all those major dramas (sopranos, wire, ect). Ended with everyone knowing how much of a bytch vic is and him stuck in a desk with no authority.

 

[re'up]

When the series ended I remember reading a long Shawn Ryan interview, (or it may have been more recent), but he said that Dutch cat scene wasn't as crazy as it seemed, something like the stress of the job, and it being an isolated incident. And that Dutch was so disturbed by it, he didn't enjoy it, or feel nothing, which showed he wasn't a sociopath. But, maybe Sutter and Ryan had differing opinions, there.

One of my favorite shows of all time, own every season, Vic was kinda a broken man by the end, but he still went out with a smirk and a pistol. He seemed impacted by the changes, but still didn't give a fukk. Vic Mackey is second only to Tony Soprano in the one liners category. He was routinely ethering Shane, esp.

The Shield is too underrated and quite possibly the best ending to a series

Not sure I can put it above The Wire...aside from the Greeks in season 2, I enjoyed every single character they introduced to us.

can someone explain to me why the ending is considered so great? i must be missing something, i thought it was cool but not

still think the wire is the best show of all time, let alone cop dramas. i prefer the case study standpoint of a cop show, instead of kicking down doors and shyt. i like that, just don't get into it as much

that being said, the shield had great character development

It avoided a cliche ending and no one saw it coming. Vic was deconstructed where many fans who were rooting for him realized he was disgusting and many thought it impossible to make Shane sympathetic but they did that as well.

 

[DaRealness]

Definitely my SECOND favourite TV series after The Wire.

Tomorrow I'll touch on some of the top scenes in the series.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

No love for my spigga armadio? Dude had his brother killed to dodge to the strike team having leverage on him. That stove scene was intense as hell too. So was the scene when lem got the grenade cause Vic ain't think nobody was crazy enough to go at the strike team.

The shield had so many villains and was so well written Anthony Anderson was believable as a neighborhood drug kingpin.

So many classic moments I don't even know where to start. Vic going ham with the phone book, Dutch going to that chicks house and looking through the window, and Dutch giving Ronnie the kobeface when arresting him "for the past 3 years" are my favorite.

 

[Muzion]

Bought all the seasons around the holidays, finished the last a week ago. I might fukk around and watch it all again. A tv show has never and will never be more raw than The Shield, so many times I thought '', shyt got real''.

As bad things got, I rode with team Mackey till the end. fukk the writers for making me feel ambiguous about it. What he did to Ronnie was

Only season that wasn't on par with the others is the one with Glen Close. It feels like they could have done more with her character. But then Kavanaugh came through and crushed the buildings.

Now I'm about to start season 3 of The Wire...

 

[Black Hans]

Wasn't Dutch fukking around with some Latina chick he caught fukking another cop? He looked through the window and had the face or something?

Dutch was while Billings was in his car watching like thinking "Dutch shares that girl."
