 Finished S2 this evening - bloody hell this show is brilliant. Loved Season 2, it was a step up from the first - armadillo, the heist it was great!

highlights for me were the armadillo torture scene and the entire flashback episode Co-Pilot. I'm looking forward to what S3 has in store for me

 I finished Season 7 last night. My thoughts:

Best Season - Season 5. Forest Whitaker was a great addition to the cast and this season was the easily the most tense season and it reminded me a lot of Dexter with you never knowing whether the anti-hero was going to be taken down. This season was most excellent

Worst Season - Season 4. Glenn Close was terrible, I could never see her as a tough ball breaking take no shit cop. It was bad casting and luckily she only lasted the one season. It was also the start of splitting up the strike team which was always going to be a bad thing. After Shane and Vic's showdown at the end of S3 I was expecting big things from S4...

Funniest Moment - Season 6 Episode 0

Vic: He went for me so I had to take him down old school style
Dutch: What, like Medieval?

Overall it was a great bit of TV, but it did drag on a bit and lost a lot of the excitement from S5.

 Just watched the first episode. Can honestly say my jaw was just about on the floor. What a show.

Not sure if i like Mackey yet, but really impressive stuff.

Also noted that that Kurt Sutter from Sons of Anarchy fame was part of the writing team on this.

His character is a bit like Walt from Breaking Bad in that you find some of his stuff detestable but you kind of root for him occasionally and can't wait to see what he does next.

Yeah, this dichotomy is at the centre of Vic's character.  The guy who will do anything for his family and friends, who won't rest until he's locked up child killers, who has a particular dislike for women-beaters is the same guy who won't think twice about putting a bit of lead in someone's ear for threatening to expose the crimes he committs.  Kinda like a Bud White for the new millennium.  I honestly think he's one of the best characters ever created, and Chiklis' performance is usually nothing short of outstanding.

 I think it is stunning work from the writers and creators that they were able to take the lead character, have him kill a fellow cop in the first episode, and STILL have you want to follow him over 7 seasons and THEN ROOT FOR HIM!

Chiklis has an amazing screen presence in The Shield, and really anchored the show while giving the likes of Walton Goggins, Jay Karnes, and Kenny Johnson the opportunity to shine.

This is STILL the greatest tv series I have ever seen. Awesome, truly awesome.

 I have recently began the whole saga from ep 1 recently and was struck by how much the serial killer from Dragon Chasers (the fella who killed the prostitutes and Dutch catches) was based on Ted Bundy. From his look, demeanor, M.O, and background. Very interesting.

I'm up to series 3 again already (only taken me a week...) and as fantastic as Series 1 and 2 are, they fell a bit light in comparison to what I know is coming later down the line. It's kinda sad watching some of it now. Boy those guys were tight...
