My nikka Ronnie I hate it had to be him :(

Worst fate out of what everyone got in the Strike Team and what's fukked up is that he was kept out of the loop and didn't even do much of the dirt the Strike took part in.

Lem - Blown up by a grenade. :obama:

Shane - Killed his family peacefully and commits that :huhldup:

Vic - Loses friends, family, respect and forced to work a mundane job with the promise of coworkers making it harder for him and putting him under the scope, trying to catch him slippin' for until he retires and can't ever be a law enforcer again. :umad:

Ronnie - Sent to prison for life, with nobody to protect him. Antwan Mitchell gang runs the prison and to add insult to injury many of the goons that the Strike team put away may have been in there. Also being a former cop ain't hot shyt in prison. And since this is a TV show that had a police captain get mouth raped viewers can only imagine what happened to him and how long Ronnie lasted in prison. :damn: :ohshyt: :whoa: :bryan: :why:

Ya'll talking about the Finale which is debatable,

But The Shield has hands down, no questions about it, the greatest Series Premier in the history of televison. They couldve ended it after one episode...

having watched both both shows breaking bad when it hit its peak blows most television out the water. That being said The Shield was criminally under rated it deserved more Emmys and a better audience. Top ten pilot and top five series finale. The thing that stopped The Shield from being great some of the episodes were just a procedural. If you like the Shield check out another Shawn Ryan created series The Chicago Code on Netflix. Its a procedural too and it only lasts one season, but its has a great pilot and finale that ties it all together.

Chicago Code had potential Fox didn't give it a fair chance.

I think I may be the only person that saw this show, but another great crime drama (though it only lasted I think two seasons) was Intelligence. It's not Shield level, but a ntoch below IMO.

Them Lo Lifes...
That part is fine, but Vic would never sell out his peoples in that fashion. He would've warned Ronnie on the low in someway to get out of town. He would've risked his own deal by at least trying to warn Ronnie. The writers betrayed Vic's character in that instance.
With all the crooked double crossing, double dealing Vic was doing to stay ahead to avoid getting murdered, losing his badge, sacrificing his team AND losing his family, STILL wound up in his worst dreams...

a gung ho cop stuck with a deskjob...:flabbynsick:
