I love that show. The new episodes have that guy from Nickelodeon or something. i have only seen him in comedy roles. It's odd seeing him in a hard core gangster role.

I'm a Shield fanatic. It's in its 4th Season. Comes on Tuesdays at 9:00 (and again at 10:00)
I don't know about re-runs.

I think you have to watch it from the beginning though to fully "get" the show.

As far as this season goes, I think Shane is going to have to be taken down. He can't be caught by other cops because knowing him, he will snitch on the Strike Team. I think Vic is going to let Antwone do the dirty work.

I kinda sympathized with Aceveda last season, but he has totally gone over the edge. I understand why he's with the prostitute, but he it totally dicking people over. He was power hungry before his "incident" happened.

My big question is what happened with Tayvon(sp?)?

Yeah. Tuesday night is Shield night at our house.

Cletus VanDamme still makes me snort.

What is the deal with that blond cop? The one that is Vic's friend. Why does he always look like he has to take a shit?

If you haven't seen it from the beginning, you are missing out on SO MUCH.
Shane has NO idea what he has gotten himself into.
The drama of it all!

Julian going against Vic is pretty ballsy - I guess he's ready to come out of the closet. They brought up injunctions on tonight's show and I (dork that I am) thought of this site.

There is a Farmington, CA, but there is no Farmington in LA.

Do you know the back story with Aceveda from last year? Why he's so screwed up now?

I started out hating Vic and liking Aceveda, and now it's totally the other way around. These writers know plot twists.

Vic - the bald guy.
Aceveda - the Hispanic guy who used to the be police chief

http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/origina ... /main.html

Julien (the black male cop who is against the seizures) is gay and Vic caught him in the second season with his male lover. He is very religious and went on a spiritual quest to become straight. He is now married and has a step-son.

Julien tried to tattle on Vic to Aceveda that year and Vic threatened him with outing him to teh rest of the force. Julien backed down.

I'm on season 4.
Southside - this will be a spoiler, so don't read this if you want to get caught up.


Strike Team broke up pretty much for two reasons:
They went after the Armenian mob and stole their money in season 2. Shane's girlfriend at the time, Mara, stole some of the money and sent it to her mother overseas. The money had been marked by the Feds, and things were getting tense. The feds were getting increasingly closer to Vic, and Aceveda, Dutch, and Claudette were starting to suspect involvement on the Strike Team's part.

The team was getting more and more violent to control their dirty operations (Shane was spiraling out of control), and Lemonhead didn't think it was right. He saw that they money and the fighting was breaking the team up, so he freaked out and started to burn the money.

In the first season, there were five members. One was a IED spy sent in my Aceveda to prove his suspicions about Vic. Vic found out and killed the innocent office, making it look like a criminal did it. Aceveda found a young black cop (Tayvon) to replace him. Shane was jealous and was a total jerk with him. Tayvon went over to Shane's house one night to try and set things straight with Shane, and it was going pretty well, until Shane called him a nigger. Tayvon started kicking his butt, and Mara (shane's skanky girlfriend) hit Tayvon in the head with an iron, totally messing him up. He left the house with a head injury, and got into a severe car accident. They lost another person, and Aceveda refused to give them another person.

Season three ended with all four of the members pulling their guns on each other. No happy endings.

I don't think so...
They may advertise it on Fox, but I think it has always been on FX.

I don't know. Shane is such a dumb ass, he's going to have to come back. I think they want us to think it's Shane. He's that character that I love to hate.

I don't think Army is coming back either, but I think it would be too easy for him to be killed off. I'll be disapointed if they get rid of him that way.

It's partly based on the rampart scandal so the show is mostly shot on Pico-Union district to my knowledge.
