Who else feels that The SHEILD deserves a reboot? There’s a lot of story that’s left untold all while being worthy of storytelling.
They seem pretty well matched to me but I give the edge to Vic.
Jack thinks he has Vic lured into a trap, and calls in a drone strike, but we find out it was Acevada that got blown up “dammit.” Vic then sends in the Armenians to wipe out Jack, but Jack has a mole on the inside of hit crew and turns the table.
Just as Vic thinks he’s escaping LA to Gilroy’s hideout on a Cessna we find out that the plane is carrying a nuke that Jack recovered from some terrorists and slipped on the plane to fly to safety. Vic discovers this and tells Ronnie who is piloting the plane, that they to split up and meet at the rendezvous point. Vic jumps out of the plane and parachutes to safety while the nuke blows up and Ronnie perishes.
Upon landing on the ground Vic is surrounded by a caravan of military SUVs. Out pops Chloe and says Jack Bauer sends his regards and a silent clock ticks off…
For context, I am a massive sopranos fan, and the end of this episode is perhaps the most ‘sopranos’ thing that has happened so far. Absolutely epic episode, the case stuff was very solid, with the naked walk being comedy gold. However, the fight between Tavon and Shane was something else. This was something that I felt was straight out of sopranos (e.g. Ralph). Honestly this was amazing, and I can’t wait to see the fallout from this
Anybody else like Detective Billings? I know he’s suppose to be stupid and lazy and unlikable in that sense but i love the guy.
Dude is unintentionally hilarious.
Feel free to share some of your favorite Billings quotes or moments.
A serial killer is leaving a trail of bodies in LA and Dutch is on the case. The case has attracted national attention and a team of profilers has also joined the hunt. Who will find the unsub, our beloved Dutch or the criminal profile unit headed by Jason Gideon?
Ok, you guys got me with this trend. Let me lay out the scenario:
After hearing of his heroism in bringing down the siege of Nakatomi towers, David Ass-is-veda sees a huge PR-boost in hiring the Detective McClane to head up a new special investigation unit.
Aceveda makes McClane an offer he can’t refuse. McClane jumps at the opportunity, since he will be closer to Holly and his kids.
McClane settles into his new role, he even reconciles and moves in with Holly leading a team of SWAT, detectives, and some aspiring unis. One of his direct reports is Vic Mackey and his strike team.
After about 6 months, McClane gets a whiff of Mackey’s antics. Vic Mackey kills cops. He deals drugs. He beats suspects. It tastes like piss.
McClane, though hesitant given his newfound stability at home, has no choice but to take him head on. However, there is no hard evidence, all here say. Aceveda is pushing McClane to take Mackey down for a huge political win before he takes office.
How does this go down? Assume it gets physical at some point. Who emerges victorious and why?
LFG!
So, I only just discovered this show like 3 days ago. I have 2 weeks off work so I was looking for something to binge. And after trying and failing 4 times to make it through the first episode of "The Wire", I am not disappointed in "The Shield". This is peak television and my only regret is not coming across this show sooner. I'm currently on season 3 episode 5 (Eww. What those two scumbags with the gun just made Aceveda do 🤮 LOL). This show is just flawless. From the characters, to the story and pacing. I've seen a lot of people say that it's too low budget but I think that's part of it's charm. I think it wouldn't have felt so gritty and realistic if it had a huge budget. My only question is, does it decline in quality at all later in the seasons?? I'm enjoying the hell out of it, so please god don't tell me it starts to decline. Or they screw up the ending.
Vic Mackey vs the son of God himself, Jesus Harold Christ. I'm talking about pre resurrection Christ here. Can Vic do what it took the entire Roman army to do and nail Christ or does Christ pull out a miracle and send Mackey straight to hell?
tbh idk see the big deal in everyone "Vic shot terry" situation, i mean gangs kill they own if they was snitching too i dont see the big deal and no one was there except Vic, Shane, and the prostitute 2 time was with. its not like the Prez from the wire situation he did the same thing just unintentional. point being Cops die everyday B
Since we’re in this kick now.
The title say it all. Free for all match.
You know Vic is gonna have someone sneak a shiv into the ring before the match starts
Who do you think would win if I got into a fight with Vic?
I think I've got a couple of athletic advantages. For starters, I beat the world record in the ping pong return challenge on Wii Sports Resort, so obviously I know how to move at least one of my arms in a swiping, slashing motion.
Also, I've got a tactical advantage since I'm a real person and he's a fictional character. We're both bald, too. That may or may not play a factor, I can't be sure.
Thoughts?
Vic always wins. There’s no fictional or real criminal organization that can withstand the kind of heat the Strike Team brings on. Being targeted by the strike team means stepping into an entirely new playing field.
They’ll torture information out of your street soldiers. They’ll plant drugs and guns. They’ll prop up your competitors. And at the end of the day, you’re still just a ****** with a ****** ****** son. Vic, Ronnie, and Shane are cold blooded murderers, they’ll just kill you. Imagine Walt telling Vic Mackey to “tread lightly” lmao. He’d be scribbling a “life sux” note and dying a bad speller right there on the spot.
What’s going on with all these vs posts?
Anyway would Vic be able to emotionally manipulate Khan into making an unforced error despite his superior intellect?
Simon Adebisi escapes Oz and screws vic mackeys ex wife with the sole purpose of making his investigation seem like a personal vendetta. He gets locked up again with Antwon mitchell adn becomes the king of oz again. Antwon mitchell is now his puppet and vic cant use him to whack adebisi. Whos winning?
I don’t think that Vic and the guys gave him a fair chance, based on some of his past behavior , I think that if they had brought him in a little at a time, eventually he would have been cool with the Strike Teams under the table operations and would have been a good fit, providing Shane could get past his prejudices.
Vic, Shane, Ronnie and Lem vs Jax, Opie, Tig,and Chibs . 4 vs 4 no weapons or prep time. Who Wins ?
On my second rewatch in over a year or two and for some reason i thought this show only had 4 seasons for some reason and I’m on season 6 and GOD DAMN!!! Do i hate Shane.
As i was rewatching it i remember hating Shane or Lem but i couldn’t put my finger on as to why cuz a lot of life and other shows/movies has happened since my first viewing.
But now that I’m on the final season and on episode 6 i completely remember why i dislike Lem but HATE Shane AND his wife.
Please don’t share any spoilers as to what happens in the final episodes cuz it’s all a blank to me aside from Vic getting away. I know Shane gets what he deserves just don’t remember how.
Also i just found out that Micheal Chiklis daughter in the show is his daughter in real life and now it all makes sense cuz i always thought it was just a good choice of casting in terms of looking like his daughter haha
think she has autism?
Lol lem and shan playing video games and they are talking about mara not thinking shane is taking the baby and marriage seriously and says "a ring tells the whole world you love her".
Lem really was a older brother to shane season 3 highlights it. Shane eventually asks if lem got his vagina waxed to which lem responds to shane with a nice right hook to the bicep and shane immediately said cmon man you gotta stop that 😂
Lem basically was thr older og brother that spent too much time taking care his family rip
Who wins?
In a fight without weapon?
