The Shield

[Champ]

Yeah no3. Contractions have only just started, she's5 fays overdue.

 

I'm on way to work soon. The baby won't be here for hours yet.

 

(I'm in proper girly mode here) Still nothing?

Went to hospital for her 10am appointment she already had. Braxton Hicks- bastards. I got excited too!

 

At home now but being induced at 0800 tomorrow morning if nothing happens between now and then. Started my paternity this PM now as she's gone for a nap.

 

Me and the girls have just had a macdonals and watching Jungle book.

You're gonna need a bigger couch!

4 episodes of series 5 left. Not good!

Pregnant Dani...that baby would be born with a dent in its head if I got hold of her.

[Fowlers God]

However much I don't like Whittaker's charachter (as he's trying to bring the team down) his is a phenominal actor. That scene with is wife in the interegation room was brilliant.

 

Also the scene when he trashed his motel room. To go from being so calm to bursting at the height of that emotion is brilliant. Daniel Day lewis can fuck off. Forest is where its at baby.

There's an even better one with him coming up mate.

I especially like the camera work when he is interegating people. Getting close into his face.

 

Although its been in terms of action the least of my favourite series thus far, but the acting is fucking brilliant. Goggins seems to be coming into his own a lot more. Seems settled now.

[lifetime fan]

He's the best in it over the 7 series mate.

 

 

EDIT: Goggins that is.

You watched anymore?

But what about the baby?

[Fowlers God]

But what about the baby?

 

What fucking baby!!!! She couldn't be more shit at going into labour if she tried. Had a 24hour pessiry (sp) in all day. I went home after being at hospital from 0800-2100 last night. Just arrived again after dropping the other two urchins at her aunties house.

 

Back another day at hospital now.

 

Turned up and they're given her a rest day before trying to induce her again tomorrow. So after she's showered we are going to walk the entire grounds of the hospital. This baby is coming out today!!!!!

It must be cosy in there!

 

So, a walk, reflexology, a curry, sex, what else have people suggested to get this thing moving?

[Fowlers God]

Pinnaple?

[lifetime fan]

Watching the last two episodes now.

 

Reckon the ending means it just beats The Sopranos to No2 spot behind The Wire.

[Torvald Utne]

Jay karnes in the tyrant. Worst English accent ever. I have no idea why shows do this, there is absolutely no basis for him being English, just be American!

The whole box set is now available for free on 4 On Demand.

Im an unemployed bum now and the bird is going home for a month next weekend. 

 

So we’re finishing line of duty tonight and then I’m going to binge it again big time.

About time this was on a streaming service. Now they need to pull their finger out and get NYPD Blue on.

Excellent.

 

As highly as I rate Breaking Bad and Mad Men, I think The Shield is on that 1a, 1b 1c level with The Wire and The Sopranos. 

 

If anyone is watching it for the first time, the pilot is great but with the exception of Dragonchasers(episode 10) season 1 is only decent, like a 6/10. In Season 2, they really begin to smoke and when Forrest Whittaker turns up in season 5 you are in for some of the most amazing and thrilling TV known to man.

 

It's also highly addictive. It's completely normal to sit down with the idea of watching one episode at 9pm, then watching the next 2 seasons and fucking work off. I can attest to this.

Completely agree. The only series I’d have above it is The Wire but then I’m a fucking Wire geek. 

 

The Wire just edges it overall but I’ve never watched something as addictive as The Shield, it’s like crack. 

 

I first started watching it when Carly was having chemo and she was struggling to sleep so we were staying up all night binge watching it. 

 

I was going to work on about 90 minutes sleep a night for 3 weeks until we’d finished it. 

[Paul]

Totally agree boys. The Wire and The Shield are my 1 & 2. Got to say GoT is getting up there now though. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

I think The Shield is a level below the very top shows. I watched it when it was first airing and again a couple of times since, so it's not like I hate it. But I think when you judge all the seasons together, it's not quite top level.
