    Next weeks show looks to be insane but good. The only thing I didnt like about last weeks episode was when they picked up the kids....reality makes for scary TV sometimes.

    This statement alone is enough for me to disregard your opinion on The Shield from here on out. Antoine, Armadillo, the ArMenians, . . .

    These characters are feared in respected in 2 contries, let alone one small town like Baltimore.

    Besides who is more of a villian? A druglord who controls the corners of one area in Baltimore or a MexicaN drug kingpin that will rape your little sister to keep you from testifying against him?

    You clearly paid no attention to The Wire when it was on.

    Pfft...I've seen enough to know that outside of Baltimore, Marlo Standfield is a nobody. Hell, even outside of Western Baltimore he is a nobody. He isn't half the criminal that even the real life Frank Lucas was.

    I think The Wire was probably a bit much for you.

    Oh and I'm STILL laughing at the assumption that Armadillo Quintero was a "Mexican Drug Kingpin".

    Really?

    The real life Frank Lucas was nothing like how they built him up to be in American Gangster.

    Ok so this season has been pretty slow in my opinion (it could be due to the fact that I'm sure we're all waiting for the last episode) but man does next week look good. Only two more episodes left and I'm still sticking by my original theory that Terry Crowley's brother kills Vic in the end.

    I'm predicting that Vic has to leave the country and he actually gets away.

    He and Ronnie kill Shane and Ronnie gets arrested.

    Side note: I wish somebody would take out Dutch and Claudette. *****es

    i dont see anyway ronnie gets out of this. i wonder if dutch is going to catch that kid in another murder. a lot of tie was spent on that. im not about vic's fate. could go either way on that. i have a feeling acaveda gets out of this clean. i think corrine may end up dead

    Yeah I agree there's no way it ends well for anyone, whether it be Vic, Shane or Ronnie. I even think Acaveda will get his too.

    I think that something will happen with Claudette. They've been hinting at it for quite awhile with her medicine etc. I think she might end up catching Vic or Ronnie and having to let them go bc she made mistakes with her medicine or something.

    I really hope that something happens with Dutch too bc they wasted a hell of a lot of time with that child murderer case to not have anything else happen.

    I think that whatever happens - and there's no guessing right, given Sutter's and the other writers' perverse nature - it will set up the movie.

    movie??? hmmmmm hadn't heard of that.

    my ending scenario has Shane and Mackey dead from each other's gun in a final shoot out. i always figured Ronnie would somehow skate, but not anymore, since Dutch and Claudette are onto them all now.

    Unless Ronnie rolls on Vic. The biggest twist that I can see would be Ronnie killing Shane and Vic or killing Shane and giving Vic up so he can get away.

    Yeah I'm not sure about a movie. Obviously everything is premature at the moment because we still have 2 episodes left but I'm guessing no matter what the final episode won't end well for Vic, either him dead or going to jail, so unless they wanted to do a prequel or have the movie take place in between seasons (that way the Strike Team could be fully back in action with Lem returning).

    I'll throw out a wild card, Tavon. The writers have also been good about bringing back random little storylines and we already saw him confront Shane earlier this season. Maybe Vic gets Tavon to help him hunt down Shane. I think it's very unlikely but you can't count anything out right now.

    I cant think of any FX series thats ever been made into a movie either. Just seems unlikely to happen.

    Yeah I agree. I think it would be easy, yet hard to make a Shield movie if that makes any sense. I mean really a movie would just be two episodes of The Shield back to back.

    I'm starting to think Dutch might not last, it's pretty obvious that its that kid who's calling and hanging up on him.

    I did not see Vic rolling on Ronnie coming. For all the horrible things he's done, I always thought his loyalty was something that wasn't in question. He deserves whatever he gets, next Tuesday can't come fast enough.

    He didnt roll on Ronnie to save his own ***, he was trying to save Corrine. The only reason he took that deal was to get Corrine immunity.

    Corrine tricked Vic into thinking she was in trouble and it ended up screwing Ronnie.

    does anyone agree that was maybe the most intense hour of tv they have ever seen?

    just crazy. the writers do such a great job of laying out different plot paths that lead to a logical conclusion that you can figure out, but they are all based on contingencies that can have the rug yanked out from under them

    the whole thing with vic getting immunity makes it seem like he is safe, but he still has to make the bust!

    maybe the previews will do the same thing, but it looks like they showed too much. apparently the bust doesnt work and vic ends up in the interrogation room. how in the world does vic get out of it? does ice bail him out to get beltran?

    after everything, i still want vic to get away somehow lol. ronnie looks totally screwed though. no way out for him. now shane is on drugs lol

    GEEZE that was a hell of an episode. I've been rooting for all the guys all along (Mara's not a guy..I've been rooting against her) but tonight when Vic officially threw Ronnie under the bus....I want to see him go down.

    I'm getting worried about the final episode though, they've got A LOT to tie up. I want everything in a tidy little basket, and I want to see the pain...as in I don't want a Michael bay shot with Vic being led away in cuffs right before the credits.

    Also, don't put too much stock in the previews. Vic could just be mad because he's forced to testify against Ronnie or something. It could be a different video Camera (maybe the cartel imprisons him) or what not. It could be a lot of things.

    Great show, been a fan since season 2...it was on when I get off of work. Would sit down and enjoy it.

    the deal with ICE is just too good to be true. it has to be. it would be fitting for him to be able to walk away from it, but i just cant see it. i also cant see him going to jail. so i think either he gets off free or he ends up dead. with those two choices, id rather see him get away with it

    i think the immunity will only cover what he said. anything he does between that statement and busting beltran would be used against him i think

    i think corrine will crack. she is on the edge now. poor woman lol

    im glad they revisted the dutch angle with the kid. with a 90 minute episode to close it out, i think there will be enough to time to seal that up. claudette kept playing up the idea that dutch was unethical. i wonder if he does something to the kid...maybe squeeze the life out him like he did the stray cat lol

    I think Ronnie might find out about Vic's deal somehow and screw his deal up with Beltran. As long as Mara's annoying *** gets capped then I'm happy. Someone should also punchout Claudette.
