    Is anybody else stoked for this? I love this series, I own all 6 on DVD. I am sad to see it come to an end, but excited for the ending.

    Anyone else watch it?

    Me.

    I love it.

    I want to be Vick Macky. Well depending on the ending of the series.

    You know I'm stoked. Season 6 was pretty weak imo, but I definitely see the show bouncing back. Someone needs to lay the smackdown on Shane.

    By the looks of things it looks like Shane's "protection" of Vic's family could lead to them regaining their trust.

    Or at least being civil towards one another.

    I thought Season 6 was weak, until I bought the DVD. After watching them back to back, it wasn't that bad off a season.

    How the hell did I miss episode one? Man, I'm stupid. Time to search for it.

    No need. It's obvious what happened in it.

    Looks like Shane might kill off Vic and Ronnie to end the show.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    Shit looks like it is really about to hit the fan.

    Hm, I wonder if they'd kill off Vic, Ronny, and Shane. I think that would be pretty damn awesome.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    I think it would be awesome too. Something rarely seen on TV to end a series.

    Just kill everyone off!

    I think it's really moving along, almost too fast.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    Hm, how could they kill Vic, Ronny, and Shane off though? The Mexican mafia? Armenian mob?

    I want to see Tavon kick the shit out of Shane, too.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    Can one of you tell me what happens in episode 5 right after Ronnie and Shane talk to each other? I missed the last 7 mins or so.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    Shane is looking to take Ronnie out. No surprise here. If it does happen, Vic is definitely going to kill Shane


    Ronnie has grown on me, lately. With Lem out of the picture, we get to see more into his character.

    Yeah it's nice to see Ronnie actually have some balls. His desire to take out Shane (last week) was refreshing from his typical sidekick role.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    Why would Shane gun for Ronnie, and not Vick? Unless he has plans for Vick already in motion that we'll see through flashbacks...

    Maybe Shane figured out that Ronnie is looking out to get him, more so than Vic.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    From what we have seen, it would be hard for Shane to come to that conclusion.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act


    Then for what reason would Shane want to take Ronnie out? I'm pretty sure Shane is aware of the heavy tension between them. Ronnie is still mourning the death of Lem, while Vic, honestly, looks like he has moved on. Of course that's going to change when Vic finds out that Shane is looking to take Ronnie out the equation.


    Btw, Ronnie has an awesome beard.

    Re: The Shield: Final Act

    That is my question. Nothing we have seen has shown what you followed up with. Shane even told his wife that "whats worse is they think I'm so dumb, that I don't even realize they tried to kill me.", or something to that extent. He didn't only say Ronnie or Vic.

    They are wrapping it up pretty quickly. Only 5 episodes left. Who thought that for a big chunk of the season Vick won't be a cop, but still running around on the streets?

    It was a great episode.
