    The End to an awesome series, perhaps

    November 29, 2008
    This show really gives you something to think about...who else would attack these types of criminals in the real world except for the ones on this show.... The sick people are the ones who would let this show slip away.... Don't forget to thank FX Networks....
    Well, don't forget to watch the other awesome series, Nip/Tuck.

    Farewell to TVs Great American Anti-Hero

    November 27, 2008
    This was my favorite show on television. Sad as I am to see it come to an end, the producers and directors did the right thing. The great products in entertainmsnet always leave the audience wanting more, and The Shield has done that, rather than dragging it out and heaven forbid it ever got to that point where the series jumped the shark and had to be forcibly put out of its misery, having lost the grit and edge that made it so special in the first place.

    As to Vic Mackey, I guess he found out that there are fates that are as bad, if not worse than getting caught. Over seven years, in spite of the laundry list of sins commited by Mackey, its been hard not to forgive Mackey, even cheer for him. The crimminals who he's taken off the streets have been far worse than him and the individuals who have pursued him equally flawed. His end reminds me of the end of the movie Goodfellas and the voice over done by Henry Hill as he fetches the daily aper in his bathrobe in some nameless suburb.

    And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

    So long to Vic and to the rest of the cast of The Shield. Given the overpowering amount of lame crap that bombards us on televison these days, we owe you a seven year long thank you.

    End of an era

    November 26, 2008
    After seven seasons of assaults, theft and murder, a show that was on the cutting edge of insanity has come to an end. Even though most of the scenes in The Shield was a little far fetch, the show did provide a lot of mindless entertainment. Which is not bad because I did enjoy the movie Super Bad last year. Each week, viewers were kept in suspense to see if Mackey would finally get caught. In the final episode, I was a little disappointed that Mackey got away with murder. The rest of his crew got what they deserved but I think a better ending would have been if Ronnie could have shot Vic just before he got arrested in the Barn...Just a thought.

    Shield-Television at its finest!

    November 26, 2008
    The Shield represents a glimpse of "life" most of us do not want to acknowledge. Kudos to the actors,writers and staff that have labored to bring all of us a drama that has enthralled weekly.We all react to the "Strike Team" and its consequences.I will miss all the characters and storylines.Hope to see a movie in the future!
