The Shield - Series over

Post by scipioafricanus »

Just finished watch the last episode of the Shield, ever. Much better ending than the Lamepranos.

Sorry Ronnie, you gots to go.

Any thoughts?

Last weak was pretty harsh.
Shield was Tuesdays at 9pm (central time), watched it on DVR. You might be thinking of Sons of Anarchy?

I wont spoil it, that is while I was a bit vague in my previous post. It is much harsher.

Not as much action as you'd expect from watching previous episodes. So many story lines, some left unresolved (Dutch and the Baby Bundy), and even a new single-episode arc introduced. (Robert Huggins).

Other than that, I thought it was a great wrap-up, if you've kept up with the show. The previous episode was like a trapdoor to a too-short drop, and the final was just watching them do the hangman's jig.

Other than a lame deus ex machina resolution, I can't see how The Shield could have ended any other way. An excellent, excellent series the whole way through.

The Shield was a great show. I remember how intense the Tiajuana episode was.
Going into the final episode, I kept wondering about Ronnie's fate.
Kinda sucked that Vic screwed him too.
