The Shield - Season 4 ongoing thread (merged) (1 Viewer)

[Quentin]

Man! This season is AWESOME. I'm really loving it.

 

[Jason Hughes]

Agreed. I smell an Emmy for Glenn Close.

I don't think Shane really intends to try to pop Vic. He may be thinking about it, but, in the end he will turn the turntables on Antoine.

 

[Rhett_Y]

I am thinking the same thing.... I think shane realizes he is in too deep and will ask vic for help... But I could be wrong....

R~

 

[TravisR]

That last scene was great! It's good to see that Shane was smart enough to know he needed help.

I can not wait until Mackey finds out about Aceveda's 'girlfriend'.

Armie accidentally saved the day (or at least got the location of the girl's body)

Two weeks? Those bastards

 

[Duane R]

I wonder if the backpack cash is leftover from the money train? Meanwhile, Vic is looking like he's got cancer of the puppy after having to take a backseat with the taskforce. Dutch, you're about to get burned, and bad...By the way, WTF is wrong with you FX? Back to back airings of Independence Day next week instead of The Shield. Tsk, Tsk...

 

[Patrick Sun]

Acevada is one sick dude. His own rape has truly created a monster.

Vic and Shane, will Lem and Ronny buy it that Shane is on the up-and-up?

Dutch is so going to get burned, was the coffee thrown on him foreshadowing? Heh.

I was waiting for Monica to tap the side window while Vic and Dani were going at it.

Armie's "accidental" shooting of the guy being shakened down from the back seat reminded me of Pulp Fiction.

 

[WillG]

I was definately expecting him to show up at the house or already there when Vic came to drop off the money.

 

[TravisR]

When Dutch was talking to Mackey's ex at The Barn, I started shouting "Run, Dutch! Mackey's gonna see you!"

 

[Dax P]

The final scene between Vic and Shane was outstanding and intense to the extreme. Perfect performances by both guys.

Big bummer, the 'no show next week' thing...

 

[Gregg Shiu]

I agree, I dunno which scene made me squirm around in my seat more, Vic's confrontation with Shane or Dutch conversing with Corrine when Vic was walking up. What an amazing episode!

 

[Paul Bartlet]

Don't forget, ol Dutch-boy is " hungry like the wolf "


In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

 

[Patrick Sun]

Great, Dutchboy now has a themesong.

 

[Paul Bartlet]

well, it was my best attempt at being funny :frowning:

DutchBoy's theme will most likely be the funeral tune soon enough.

Anyhow, this season has been my fav so far. I love everything about this show.

 

[Gregg Shiu]

What, no comments on last night's episode here yet? Everyone still upset that there was no Independence Day? Overall, a great episode with a few new developments. I think the guy Dutch and Claudette were interrogating was the funniest thing about last night's episode. Anyone see the preview for next week? 90 minutes!!! I definitely can't wait.

Greg,

Was thinking the samething...thanks for taking the plunge.

Another top notch epsisode with lo'ts of ground covered and plenty to digest. I really like Rawlings and can an Emmy nod be far away for Glenn Close?

Aceveda got an image softening last night and Vic saw a side of Rawlings that may have reopened his urge to cross ove rthe line - again.

Should be a great 90 minutes next week - between this and the 24 finale marathon, it's gonna be hard getting up to go to work.

 

[Mark Maltais]

Since I can't get FX here or The Shield for that matter, and reading the rave reviews I bought season one on dvd, was only 25 bucks and was an impulse buy...what a mistake. Now I've bought Season two and three and now I'm FORCED to use **cough**bit **cough** torrent** to watch season 4...got all the episodes to date and watched them all in one night (got to bed at 3 am ).

Now maybe I'm missing something but....Why is the season so short??? This is obviously a big hit, why not go for at least 20 eps a season and damn 90 minutes next week??? That's gonna take me a while to get LOL.

LOVE THE SHOW...LOVE IT.

 

[Dave Scarpa]

The Shield , Like most Cable series have Short runs of usually no more that 13 episodes. For me it's because of this that their quality is high. The writers can;t afford any filler eps so the shows seem much more tightly plotted

 

[Spero D]

Glenn Close will not be back next season :frowning:


Really liked here on the show.

 

[Michael Reuben]

That episode was supposed to be a standard 60 minutes (or 42, or whatever the length is without commercials). In an article that ran this weekend, Shawn Ryan told the NYTimes that, when it came time to edit the episode down to standard running length, they couldn't find anything to cut. So they got FX to give them extra broadcast time. With the show's current ratings, that was probably a no-brainer.

M.

I sure hope that post two above this one that I tried to skip past once I saw it is wrong. If it is true and proves true during tomorrows finale, I will be pissed it was not set as a spoiler as it could ruin the episode.
