The Shield - Season 7

InDemand · 10-10-2008 02:20AM #1

I picked up the season 1 boxset of this show awhile back and have been hooked ever since. After a long wait season 7 has finally started in the U.S and I'm just wondering, are any other boardsies fans? will it all end in disaster for Vic and the strike team?

Share your thoughts!

sweet...the sheild is my favourite program...cant wait for season 7 its gonna be exciting.

I'm upto episode 6 now, I think and it's getting very messy for the boys. Great show, dunno where I'll get my cop fix when I finish this and the wire.

Big fan here too. Re-watched all 6 seasons on the DVDs earlier in the year in a run up to the final season. So far, I'm well impressed with it, and can't wait to see how it all plays out.

The big question for me is, will Vic have to pay for all the bad things he's done, or will he get off and continue to be a cop? Same goes for Shane, and Ronny to a lesser extent.

This weeks episode was excellent with

Shane nearly getting offed, and now he knows that Vic and Ronny are really against him

Fantastic series! I can't wait for the next series.

The Shield season 7 is AWESOME so far.

Last week's episode was f ucking unreal.

Things are so interesting now that

Shane just realised Vic and Ron tried to murder him, even thought Vic got a guilty conscience and tried to call Shane at the last minute

Definitely my all-time favourite TV show, even more so than The Wire and Dexter.

Dave! · 13-10-2008 02:58PM

Damn I can't remember if I saw as far as season 6 or only 5

Gonna have to check

InDemand · 14-10-2008 05:36AM

It really is coming at Vic from all angles.

We know Shane is capable of killing his friends if he feels threatened, and with another child on the way hes' going to go after Vic for setting him up

I hate the fact that its all going to end but at the same time I can't wait to see how.

This weeks ep was outstanding. What a show it will be painful if it really does end on this series, though it really does look that way.

It is ending on this series, that's been decided for quite a while now. 13 episodes in it too.

Another brilliant episode too, I can't wait to see how all this plays out.

I am so excited about this again, can't wait for the us cousins to send this week's show over in the post...

jayteecork · 22-10-2008 05:20PM

Cousins already hooked me up.

Have the thing on my hard drive and raring to go.

The Shield will always have a place in my heart, got me back into TV shows since I abandoned them in the late 80s!

chalkitdown1 · 22-10-2008 06:24PM

HOLY MOTHER OF FÚCK! :eek::eek::eek:

That was immense. Probably the best episode of the whole show. Just incredible.

What a final 5 minutes! Nailbiting stuff. I was actually sat there completely silenced by it. Incredible.

It's been a long time since I've been stunned like that by a show.

I don't want it to end!

TheHairyFairy · 24-10-2008 08:34PM

Chalkitdown I totally agree, two back to back eps where I just sat glued to the screen. Its such a pity that its gonna end. I'll start looking for the box sets.

wandatowell · 24-10-2008 08:42PM

Amazing episode - I had to wave someone away during it because they threatened to interrupt it. To finally really see the sh*t hit the fan in a way that can't be reversed was intense - six and a half years of story bringing us to this point, this rubicon. Utterly brilliant.

jayteecork · 25-10-2008 08:05PM

Tuesday can't come too fast.

I'll be staying up till 5 in the morning to get the latest episode.

I had to get up, walk away and then come back.

dcom · 05-11-2008 12:05AM

Understood!!!!
Thanks for the reply 'jayteecork'

chalkitdown1 · 19-11-2008 07:54PM

OMFG! :eek:

Last nights episode was incredible! Those final 7 minutes with Vic were unreal.

7 years worth of shít finally out in the open. Amazing.

Can't wait until the finale. Yet, at the same time, I don't want it to end.

ixoy · 20-11-2008 12:30AM

I feel exhausted after watching that episode - so very tense, so much happening.

I can't believe we've only one more to go

jayteecork · 20-11-2008 12:34AM

Oh my God, one of the best hours of television ever.

The end of it and Vic's confession, wow, omg, wow.

The guy is simply the best television character ever.

My end theory(I just posted it on the imdb)

Only thing left now is for Mara(and/or Jackson thinking they were candy) to die from a drug overdose(from those red drugs that look like smarties) when Shane pops out for food, then for Shane to kill Vic in revenge(just after Vic nails the cartel), then turn to the gun on himself.

It was also interesting to see the

look of utter disgust on the agent's face and Wymms so very close to cracking. And yet Vic looked pretty unrepentant - see how he sort of pauses at the start, dwelling (give him an Emmy for that) and how by the end he almost seems invigorated by recounting what he's done.

thewing · 20-11-2008 11:33AM

Greatest 47min of my life....end of....can't believe only one more episode...anyone know if it will be an extended episode?

Yep, that was so good.

I couldn't believe he just came out with it all like that. He really sold Ronny out too, I'd say he's going to be picked up by Claudette at the start of the next episode, a consolation prize for her. I was a bit in shock about Vic leaving Ronny out to hang, but then, he's not a nice guy, and never has been.

His last statement to your one, in response to her asking does he know what he's done to her, "I've done worse", just sums him up completely.

All that's to be seen now, is will Shane go down with Ronny? Will Mara get arrested and put away too? Or will they go down in a hail of bullets and/or drugs?

Can't wait for next week, can't imagine that this will actually be the end too. It would be nice if it was an extended one too.

sweetie · 20-11-2008 03:31PM

I've a feeling he'll warn ronny and they will take back the deal. Shane and/or Mara to be shot by the police trying to escape and interested to see how the billings (compo/dirty cop) and wagembach (potential serial killer) storylines pan out also.

Must recommend this show to more people. Jealous that they will have about 70 episodes to watch!
