    The Shield - Season 7

    A rather highly-acclaimed show that seems to have been forgotten as of late.

    Season 7 premieres on September 2nd, with 13 one-hour episodes. Any guesses as to what will happen? Any favorite storylines heading into the final season. IMHO, I think that the series ends with a solid conclusion, not like The Sopranos which was entirely open to interpretation.

    It hasn't been forgotten, it just went on hiatus at a time where many other shows were getting all sorts of ink. FX is pushing this premier pretty heavily -- I saw at least 4 billboards and an ad on a bus this morning.

    Bloody hell I just saw this thread on the main page and thought 'christ The Wire's had another season without my knowledge?'

    What a stupid bastard I am.

    I've still got season 4 of this to watch and catch up on, even though I know that

    I can barely remember a thing from season 6. Obviously the major bulletpoints, but most things are a blur. Probably due to the fact I watched all 6 seasons a few months ago in the space of a week or so. Mental overload.

    I'll have to read up on Wiki to refresh my memory, but I'm really glad I saw this thread as I completely forgot this was starting again soon. Can't wait. Vic better not die the loveable bastard.

    All I know is that there'd better be some sort of 2 or three episode arc for a returning Forest Whittaker.

    Vic pretty much ruined Kavanaugh's life just by being Vic. There's someone who might have redemption on the brain.

    I think Vic will die a hero saving the barn from being shut down somehow.

    I would. Despite all of the bad shit he's done I still think he's a good guy in many ways. It'd be sad to see him go down in shame.

    I still love how this show can be so ambiguous. I should hate Vic.

    True enough, and a lot can change in this last season. I just don't know that any sort of heroic death for a guy who could quite easily go out oh so many other ways would bring the series to a proper conclusion.

    What if Vic doesn't kill Shane at all, and that's actually handled by the long overdue return of Tajon...that was his name, right -- the other Strike Teamer whom he grilled with cookware? Didn't think of that, did you?

    So many possible twists and turns, and they'll probably explore a lot of them. That's what made this such a great show, and it's why I expect it to go out on a high note.

    Remembering Season 6 seems to be a blur to me as well. I remember it was a pretty descent season and the main points but after Season 5's finale, we pretty much knew the Shield wouldn't be the same again.

    Season 5's finale will be the most effective, emotional and memorable moment on the show's history. The friendship and bond of the Strike team working together kept the show compelling. After that finale, we all expected the demise of the Strike team

    I'm glad they are only doing one more season and I think it will be a very good season with a solid conclusion to everything. It will be sad to see the show ending. Definitely the best and most enjoyable cop show there is right now.

    Same boat as the rest of you -- while season 6 was by no means bad in any way, look what it had to follow up. It's almost unfair.

    I'll admit, I definitely shed a couple tears after the season five finale.

    Fucking ripped my heart out, it did.

    Tavon, I think it was. I liked him, he had potential as a Strike Team member.

    Wasn't it Ronnie who got his face melted?

    I think the guy you're thinking of got in a car crash after taking a blunt object to the head by Shane's missus.

    When ROB says "grilled", he means "smashed in the face"; he is talking about Tavon.

    And yes, it was Ronnie who got his face melted.

    :VERY excited for the final season of this exciting show:

    I'm bloody excited about this lads.

    Would like to see appareances from Tajon, Kavanaugh and Antoine Mitchell at some point.

    Like others season 6 is a blur.....was the armenian money train ever resolved? I know the daughter of the mob boss found out from Shane who ripped them off, but I cant recall where that ended...

    I think that Dutch will go crazy and kill everyone in the barn, and just live there with the cat he strangled in his garden.

    The Armenians play some sort of role in the forthcoming season, though details are tight as to how large of a role.

    Oh man, I'd almost forgotten about Dutch and the cat. That was some pretty fucked up shit right there.

    I need to watch the season 6 set I just bought, but I believe the season ended with Shane realizing that he put Vic and his family at a huge risk, so he kidnapped Vic's family and hid them away for a while. As the season ended, Vic has yet to find out what Shane did.

    Regarding the return of a certain character: There are no detailed spoilers below. It's simply a "____ will be back."

    I, as well, hope that Kavanaugh returns; Whitaker was great in that role. Though Anthony Anderson was no slouch, tbh.

    How about a crossover twist where Kevin Nealon joins the cast as Sabastio's father...?

    He would take the Rat out of Retarded Rat-baby, which may have been the greatest insult an adult has made toward an infant in television history.

    Oh fuck yes!

    It's too bad that I don't get FX and will have to live vicariously through your discussion.

    Can anyone recommend any websites where I can download season 7 on-line?

    I think Ronnie is going to flip and send both Vic and Shane to jail or to their funerals.

    See, I think that little quote in the season preview was just an extremely selective bit of foreshadowing. Ronnie now leads the Strike Team, which remains a pretty huge thorn in Claudette's side. What's more, Vic already has dirt on Ronnie, and wouldn't be afraid to use it.

    Billings remains the comic relief, and I liked his side-story quite a lot.

    They've done a pretty fantastic job of foreshadowing just how much can go wrong for Vic and company in this final season already, and it already appears to be a pretty major rebound from last season, which was great by television standards but which I think we can all agree fell short of the extremely high bar this series had set for itself.

    I can't see Vic ever blackmailing one of his friends, especially his best friend at the moment. Time and time again throughout the series, we've seen that Vic is VERY loyal to his friends.

    He is, but when push comes to shove, his primary interests are himself, his family, and his badge. Anyone who jeapordizes any of the three tends to feel the full wrath of one Vic Mackey.

    I can't see Vic in any way turning on Ronnie unless it was absolutely necessary, but what with this being the final season and with the pending shitstorm and all, circumstances could very easily render that necessary.

    The greatest thing going is that truly anything can happen because it is the final season.

    That was fucking awesome. Ronnie stepping up like that was a huge moment for the show and definitely highlight of the episode. I was thinking before that Ronnie may be the one to finally cap Shane since he always seem just as torn up about Lem's death as Vic, even if he didn't express it. That bottling up was sure to lead to an explosion and we've seen it already. He's going to be the character to watch this season and I couldn't be happier... I've always felt he was overlooked. Though him standing in the shadows somewhat just makes his path to the spotlight so much sweeter.

    Billings and Dutch also continued to justify the need for them to have a spin-off show. Everything those two have done has been absolute gold.

    Agree entirely. The line of the night had to be "You and the twins are co-conspirators".

    Dutch won't get a spinoff show -- he's already a cast member on "Sons Of Anarchy" and his role is expected to get progressively larger.

    It was in jest. Spin-offs that aren't Angel generally turn out to be bad.

    I read your thread on that show though and it sounds pretty good. I shall be downloading.

    So they showed the first episode from season 7 on Showcase here in Canada. If they show each episode one week late, I can definitely live with that. Hell fucking yeah.

    Gardocki, have been waiting for him to have his moment in the sun for a while now. BTW, I predict that Mackey will nail that freelancing Federal Agent within the next couple of episodes.

    Another solid episode last night. REALLY pleased with the Billings character development. Also, the Spook Street arrest scene was epic. Anyone who is remotely familiar with the heart of LA gang culture had to adore the little crip walk the silent BG did before he hopped in the cop car.

    I truly love this show...

    Ha ha, the spook street scene was fantastic.

    I really have no idea what is going to happen at the end of this series, I cant see Vic getting killed, Shane perhaps, but not Vic.

    And Billings is really coming into his own this season, its great watching him wind up Dutch.

    Billings is awesome, he's like Al Bundy as a police officer.

    If the last season of most series have proven in these type of shows, it will probably end on a downer. I hope it doesn't because the twist would be that everything ends on a happy note for at least Vic and the Barn. Shane, Aceveda, and Cruz I predict will wind up DOA or in jail.

    I know this sounds bad, but I want to see Shane's wife get killed.

    I also want to see Shane's wife get killed, mostly because she sucks at life.

    Also, if you're not watching the final season of one of the greatest television shows of all time, you're more than missing out. Yet another home run tonight.

    Shane Vendrell is probably my favorite character on TV right now.

    Circle November 25th on your calendars, the series finale of one of the best shows on TV.



    It's going to take one hell of a swerve to have Mackey take the fall by the end of the series. Up till now, he has remarkably managed to remain ahead of the game; just when you think that he finally might slip up, he comes up with horseshoes.

    While she's never going to win any Emmys or anything, and while this may very well wind up being her first and only TV gig, it's worth noting that over the course of this series, Corinne's acting ability has improved tremedously...and the scene last night between she, Vic and Cassidy was especially riveting when one considers that that's Michael Chiklis' actual daughter, who's not even allowed to watch the program...

    The girl that plays Cassidy cant act for shit.

    I havent seen episode 3 yet, so cant comment on what happened there, but every single other performance she has put in has been terrible. She just stands there looking dumb\shocked the whole time then giving her lines in some silly monotone voice. They have limited her time on previous seasons, hopefully they dont start involving her in story lines to much this season.

    While I still pretty much agree with this, I think she stepped her game up on tonight's episode, and I think that her character's development will prove essential to this final season.

    So do I have to say "home run" or some other cliche again, or is it just implied at this point? This show is killing it on every possible level right now and making me wish that my TiVo could go into the future and retrieve unaired episopes so I could call out of work in about 6 hours and watch them all.

    I'll truly miss this when it's gone.

    They just showed the episode "Money Shot" up here in Canada. I think that we're one episode behind the FX Network; homerun, every damn episode this season.



    The DVD's of "The Shield" and "The Sopranos" have already paid for themselves.

    Cannot wait for the last episodes, they are going to simply be awesome.

    Off-topic 1: Wishes for a movie about "The Shield", as well as "The Sopranos".
    Off-topic 2: Wish that I had played the shady porn producer.

    Agreed. More perfection last night. I'm really liking how this plot is shaping up. Can't wait for the next episode.

    Here's more thoughts on ep. 4 after seeing it again

    Rezian has to be the worst boss in the history of organized crime. It would be like if the Sopranos never existed and it was called the Gualtieris

    Holy shit! Some thoughts on the episode "Genocide", which just showed on Showcase.



    Yet another fucking homerun. The final 8 (in my case 9) episodes are going to be badass. Calling it right now, no lame Sopranos-type finale copout here.

    The last episodes are going to be great. Can't wait!

    Last night was the best episode of the season. I cannot believe they are ending this show.

    Also, it appears Shawn Ryan didn't need to be there anyway. Chiklis Is doing quite well...

    I am saddened that they are ending the show. It is a great one, with both the writing and directing being top-notch. Though it makes a little bit of sense, because you wonder how far Mackey can keep pushing the envelope without getting caught.

    Would love to see a spin-off series with one of the characters, I think that Lem would have been the best option. With him gone, IMHO Ronnie is the next best alternative; I think that there is a plethora of storylines available to the writers.

    A little fantasy booking from me. The end of The Shield could see Vic being forced to retire so that Ronnie can keep his badge. The Strike Team gets caught doing something questionable and Vic takes the heat for the "leader" Ronnie. I remember Claudette's warning to Vic, something along the lines of "You might not care about how your actions affect your career, but you will when it affects Ronnie Gardocki". Ronnie transfers to another precinct in order to get a fresh start, taking command of his own unit (perhaps the border patrol like was mentioned earlier in the season).

    My prediction by seasons end:

    Shane - Dead
    Aceveda - Dead
    Vic - Life in prison
    Ronnie - Life in prison
    Mitchell - Dead
    Wyms - Dead
    Kavanaugh -
    Starting to think Ronnie may die also... I really hope they tie up the loose end of Antwan(Antoine?) Mitchell.

    Still waiting for the return of Tavon, he had the potential to be a great character.

    Spelled Antwon (IMDB.com).

    Mackey, Vendrell and Wagenbach are the only characters to have been in all 89 episodes (IMDB.com). Lowe has been in 75 of the 89, Sofer has been in 74. Interesting stats there.

    I'm not 100% sure that's right. Isn't there one or two episodes right at the beginning that don't have Shane in them? I just watched Season 1 about a month ago, and I'm almost positive that he wasn't in at least one, and I'm leaning towards two. Maybe his role in those episodes was so small that I'm just forgetting he was even in it.

    Also, the last episode was great, especially the end of it. Can't wait until the next one comes out.

    Some thoughts on the latest episode "Animal Control". Just when I think that they cannot get me hooked any further, they simply amp up the intensity even further.



    Tuesday nights at 10PST are going to be booked solid for the next seven weeks.

    So yeah, episode 8, "Parracide" was tonight. I'll just calmly say... HOLY SHIT before going into the spoilers.



    That episode was epic.

    Just finished watching Episode 7 "Bitches Brew".



    November 25 (December 2 on my end) should be circled on our calendars. I'm going to have one hell of a time staying out of this thread between 11/25-12/2.

    Hopefully, the lead-up to the final episode gets some publicity in the media. This very deserving show shouldn't have to go out quietly like this.

    wonder where this is going. That last ep with Shane exposed and Vic quitting was awesome though. Loved how Shane left out himself killing Lem when he fed his wife that info to tell Vic's ex-wife.

    And when she confronted Vic and Vic responded...seemed like one of those moments of clarity where even Vic knows "Yeah, I AM a monster."

    I can't help but think what does all this mean to his kids. He has no job to fight either his ex or Lee's mother in court, and any money he uses for a legal battle will obviously come into question (i.e. dirty money). I wonder if he thinks all he has left to do is kill Shane.

    The issue of money is a pretty fair one to bring up, but it's also one easily enough explained away -- since splitting with Corrinne, the only major expenses Vic would really be necessarily expected to be paying would be child support and rent on his not particularly great apartment -- the house, vehicles, etc. could very well have all been paid in full already. As such, with LA cops of lengthy tenure making decent enough money, he concievably could have saved enough legitimate cash to cover legal expenses.

    What's more, this isn't a guy who'd be unemployed for long, as we've already seen.

    All that said, I don't figure any of this will be an issue. There's far too much else going on, and Vic's in far too deep to possibly be thinking that killing Shane is all he's got left on his agenda.

    I do see Dani's role getting larger again as the series wind down, and her being directly involved in one of the series' final payoffs, only because hers used to be a much more essential character, they've given her a few potentially big newer storylines that haven't come to any sort of conclusion yet, and she's been pretty conspicuous by her absence -- was she even on last week's episode at all?

    Also, maybe I'm wrong here, but I really don't think they had Tavon return for one episode after all these years for absolutely no reason.

    Just saw this tonight. I tend to never miss The Shield, but clearly there was far bigger shit going on this past Tuesday night at 10.



    All bets are off. Anything can happen. This is riveting stuff.

    AND... Damages - Wednesday, January 7th. That show's more than good enough to pick up the FX torch and run with it once The Shield calls it a day.

    Yet another great episode tonight, which set the stage incredibly for what should be a fantastic pair of series-ending episodes. We can talk about it after all of the West Coast cats have had a chance to check it out, but I'd like to point out a few non-spoilers: the fantastic return of a few once important bit characters, and the fact that someone at the very least asked "Where's Dani?", which I've been asking for a month now.

    Anyhow, I leafed through the new TV Guide while grocery shopping tonight, and they have this column where people ask for any sort of bob-spoiler information about forthcoming TV programs. According to the response, the author states that the series finale will be 90 minutes, features "at least 4 significant deaths", "the greatest Vic-Claudette confrontation yet" and "a truly satisfying conclusion".

    "At least 4", i'm assuming, means "more than 4, but 4 people we've followed all along". I'm pretty certain Claudette is one, I'm nearly as certain that Shane's one of them, possibly Maura as well...so does Vic get dead or what? At this point, I really can't call it, which is what makes this show so awesome.

    Me neither, but wherever it winds up being, I'm certain that this episode set it up fantastically.

    Man, I am getting so amped for the series finale. Going to be freaking awesome!

    Going to be a bitch staying out of this thread after the finale, as I am one episode behind you Yanks (Showcase v. FX). Though I realize that I am extremely fortunate that somebody is even showing it, as I could have had to wait for this season to be released on DVD.

    Off-topic: Another great series is "Saving Grace", BTW. Ken Johnson essentially continues with the Lemansky character. Holly Hunter is a pretty talented actress, BTW.

    Yeah, that's definitly a really good show, but I probably wouldn't watch it if my girlfriend wasn't such a big fan -- it's pretty hugely female-oriented.

    Also, in fairness to the Canucks and our friends in the UK, we should probably tag absolutely everything important from here on out. The temptation to come into this thread might be a bit too much to overcome, but if you guys click on spoilers, that's really your own damned fault...

    Don't even trip, ROB. Discuss away.

    I actually like knowing what is going to happen, it allows me to focus on the minute details (the acting, the cinematography) rather than focusing entirely on the story.

    I think I can safely speak for myself and Billmatic when I say that we'd like to know what is happening ourselves...

    As I have previously said, I am one episode behind you Yanks. So please bear with me.



    Three (in your case, two) episodes left.

    Hey, look everybody -- Dani's back!

    Where's she been? No one actually seems to know!

    Could this somehow lead into some sort of huge series finale twist?

    Fantastic fucking episode that I'll discuss with you guys at length tomorrow.

    I forgot just how good of an actor Michael Chiklis really is. It's really sad to see this show end, it's been one of the few shows I've consistently loved from season to season.

    Remember, gang, "at least 4 significant deaths".

    Predictions, then?



    Those are my predictions. What are yours?

    Don't think that Mara's death would be considered significant, especially considering how she's really only been featured in the last half of season 7.

    My revised picks: Claudette, Shane, Ronnie and Vic. Mara as well.

    You're still a week behind us, right?

    If so, I'm thinking you might very well be revising that again.

    I also don't figure they're going to kill the pregnant chick, but I'm guessing she winds up giving birth in prison.

    Shit; the last season I watched was season 4 which I bought on DVD. I turned on the TV last week and gave this another go and damn do I miss watching The Shield. The last too episodes have been imenese and when Vic confessed to all he has done that had me in awe. I can not believe he turned his back on Ronnie.

    I see Vic getting eating the bullet and Ronnie going down in a blaze of glory. I miss this show. I need to go back and re-watch season 5 and 6 over my Christmas break.

    Worth noting about our good man Dutchboy...



    Julian is very definitly a significant character, as his entire career has been detailed quite well over the course of this show and he's always been a billed cast member. Corrinne's a significant character, as her presence has increased more and more over the years and she's now a billed cast member as a result.

    Maura's definitly not a truly significant character, so if she is to die, she'd go under the "at least" portion of the death total spoiler, as would Tina and Billings...and any of those three could very well wind up dead.

    Is it Tuesday yet?

    Season 5 is the best season of any TV show ever IMO.

    Chiklis' performance while confessing was masterful: You could see that Vic was weary, coming to terms with his accumulated sins. Chiklis nailed Vic's inner conflict. He should get an emmy for this episode alone.

    But on the subject of his confession

    Kavanaugh -
    Okay, so I'll stick with my original predictions, except I am changing Vic to dead. Obviously Mitchell never resurfaced, but I guess the assumption is he is just living the good life in jail.

    My thinking now is...



    So yeah, my dead 4 are Aceveda, Wyms, Vic and Shane. If Mara dies too, I don't think that will count as one of the 4, but it would be fairly awesome if Vic and Ronnie kill her...

    Swerve possibility - Billings kills Dutch.

    I have not watched much of the seasons as I stated a few post up but after the last two episodes and reading through the thread to catch up before Tuesday; I just really see Dutch standing over this huge massacre as the last man standing. Shane has got to die, Ronnie could be arrested by Jillian and Vic has got to die in a blaze of glory.

    Imigane, Dutch; the dorky detective being the one that puts all the pieces together and is the last alive.

    Man I hate the fact that I stopped watching the show after Season 4. The money train/Armanian mob angle is still my favortie angle the show ever put on but granted I did not follow the Shane/Vic storyline.

    Holy fuck, was that an awesome episode. The confession scene is one of the greatest TV moments I have ever seen. I can't wait for Tuesday. Honestly, I have no idea how this could go. I'm sort of rooting for Vick to somehow escape from all this, but the guy really doesn't deserve to, and this episode really made that pretty clear.

    Also, I'm hoping that Dutch survives as well, as he's always been one of my favorite characters.
