The Shield

[Section_31]

Just watched episode 1 of season one, and I'm hooked. Fuck, I had a lot of things to do today!

 

Mate it'll just get worse, the first two episodes of season-2 are mindblowing TV.

[rargh]

Just finished Season 5, stunning. Forest Whitaker's character is superb and the season climax is a shocker to end all shockers!

Season 6 has just started on Ch5, although I've missed the first three episodes while watching Season 5.

 

What a programme. I only watched Season 1 in November, and now I'm pretty much upto speed. I haven't been gripped by a programme in this way for a long time.

[philyhamann]

I was up to speed within a week of watching season 1. Har har I can use the internet.

[Ted]

Any news on the seventh, and final, season yet anyone?

[Captain]

Went through entire season 1 yesterday, didn't get a goddamn thing done. Today it's football training at 4, then a football game at 7 so won't be home until 9. Which means I'll only get to watch a couple of episodes tonight.

[Captain]

I have now finished season 6. The entire series is boss, can't wait for the last season.

[Paul]

Watched the last episode of Season 6 last night that was plussed from Friday. It was ace. The Sopranos will have to go some tonight to get close to this.

[Section_31]

why do the DVDs take so long to be released? I'm waiting for season six and season four of the Wire but there's not a sniff of either, seriously pissed off!

[Paul]

Get FX for The Wire. They're currently running through all four seasons to date every Monday night.

I haven't got sky mate, I might have to burn some ears though and get it sorted, I'm genuinely at a loss for things to watch at the moment.

[philyhamann]

If you have the internet you don't need Sky at all. You can download entire seasons in 12 hours.

I'd have to get a tv out wouldn't I though? This laptop's screen is shit!

[philyhamann]

I have my PC plugged into my 32" HDTV (Student bursaries ftw). Not sure if you can do that with a laptop though.

[co1-lfc]

I've just finished season 6, amazing tv, even better as I thought 6 was the last season?! Fucking made up I am, you can imagine the scenarios I had going through my head towards the end considering I thought it was the last ever show! I am right that there's only 13 episodes yeah?

[Charles Penrose]

Still not as good as battlestar galactica, but one of my favourite programmes all the same.

 

Wonder how a Shield like drama could play out in this country. Some scumbag comes into custody having smashed his wife's face in only to be asked: "Would you like a hot drink?" :no

 

Instead of Vic's: "I'm a different kind of Cop", we would get: "We will have to bail you to get CPS advice even though you are admitting the offence".

Quality, another convert!

Got the complete series 1-7 boxset for Christmas, along with the Sopranos one, and just got round to watching it again now.

 

Anyway, watching a series one episode last night and me bird is on the couch next to me on facebook on the laptop. Scene comes on where Mackey kicks shit out of this fella and she looks up, watches said scene and says " he reminds me of Ross Kemp"

 

Thing is, I'm meant to be getting married to her in September; but how can I after this?

It was 3 years the other day since the series finale of this was shown. And as the current president of FX, John Solberg, tweeted

Vic Mackey's 3-year deal with ICE ends today. Back on the streets.

 

Made me realise that I've gotta rewatch this series again soon.

What a fucking film that'd make.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

What a fucking film that'd make.

 

'Vic Makey: Back on the Streets.'

 

I'd fucking love a but more of the The Shield.

[Iantn]

What a fucking film that'd make.

 

Not half.

 

He, John Solberg, also linked this Q&A with with Shawn Ryan from just after the finale. Good read, like.

Assinvader getting face-raped. Didn't see that coming

[lifetime fan]

Having done The Sopranos 3 times and The Wire 4 or 5 times I reckon I'm going to get this for me and the bird.

 

Anyone know of any decent offers on the box set?
