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?

That shit was so well choreographed. It looked like an actual brawl. I saw a double leg, clinch, hammer fists, rear naked choke with hooks (not in properly) then we got old school ufc with a bite to the forearm and a kick to the ball sack.

It was very intense, ofcourse anything walton goggins does is perfect but the actor who plays tavon his reaction to the iron strike was so effective i feared for him.. I have a question tho?

A guy attacks you in your home ? He's beating your ass no end in sight, I'm pretty sure your wife/gf/baby momma can hit him with whatever the hell she wants ? Im probably jumping the gun and maybe shane had a concussion buuuuut why did they clean up the apartment ??

Tony soprano screws Vic mackeys ex wife with the sole purpose of making his investigation seem like a personal vendetta. Vic gets pissed. Who would win?

• Shane a D1 Crashout
• Vic did nothing wrong
• Corrine is a horrible Mother & Spouse
• Vic cldve just became a bounty hunter
• Ronnie feel left out
• Acevadas kink is outta pocket
• Claudette owe Dutch a huge apology
• Billings was the best captain say what u wanna say

Just an fyi if anyone new to the shield or someone wants a rewatch all seasons are up on Amazon prime uk.

At the start of Shane’s demise, I may have missed a crucial part and it’s been a while but I was thinking why didn’t he just front it out when the dealer said he paid him to whack Vic?

I watched this amazing show when it was airing originally, and have re-watched a few times since. Have consistently tried getting anyone & everyone to give it a go. Got one friend to start it during COVID but they couldn't handle some of the topic matter (first season starts rough w/ pedophilia to be fair) and stopped.

BUT! After always saying it's my favorite series finale EVER, my wife agreed to give it a shot. We are now halfway through Season 1. She was hooked after the pilot.

Just wanted to share my joy of finally having someone IRL to talk to about this highly looked over show.

In 2004, i binged the first 2 seasons on DVD then watched week to week til the finale.

I've re-watched the entire series TWICE since then.

And now I'm craving to re-watch a 3rd time.

Is there something wrong with me?? What MORE can I possibly expect to get out of this show??

On my second rewatch on season 3 episode 3 and damn i forgot how intense this show is.

Is anybody else’s favorite friendship in the show Claudette and Dutch? They’re one of my favorite friendships in all tv dramas.
