I love this show. But I don't believe it would be the same without Chiklis. He is awesome. He makes the character. Also different from the Commish.
Very deserved of the Emmy he received earlier this year.
I can't wait to see what happens in the coming weeks.

Holy crap.. what an episode tonight.
This episode takes place 5 weeks after last season's finale. Acevada and Vic are still at each other's throats, and the trip to Mexico was interesting.
That takes a lot of balls for Vic to go into Mexico and grab a guy and go back out again, but I guess money and family motivate a guy like that.
Makes me wonder how they're gonna resolve the family issue in the next few episodes, and his relationship with Danny.

I saw the episode tonight, first time I've watched the show. Very good, I will try to catch it on a regular basis. Is it always on Tuesday nights?
As for Chiklas, it took me a minute but then I recognized him (formerly from The Commish). He does a very good job in this series.

Very good opener tonight. Shane is such a goof, its a guily pleasure to watch Vic chew him out for doing stupid stuff hopefully more stupid stuff from Shane is on the way this season. David and Vic forging an alliance is VERY interesting, hopefully they will push it to where, by the end of the season, they are at each others throats once again.

Here's what I don't understand: they can't hold the guy because they have nothing to charge him with. Uh, what about the rape of the first girl with the dove tattoo?

I am also a first time viewer, and think the series is great. Good to see a great series on FX, and on TV in general. I bought season one blind and now I see that purchase was not in vain.

Awesome season opener. Gives me hope that the second season will be as good as the first, if not better.
Did you see the ad for another FX original, something about a gambler? (can't remember the name.) That looked interesting as well. If FX keeps putting out series like these, it should become serious competition forthe snoozing networks.

Ijust watched the rerun tonight thanks to my vcr screwing up Tuesday. That was a great way to open the season.
The trip to Mexico was great. I thought they'd go back to where the robbery happened now that they had guns and deal with that situation.
The thing with the little girl was sad. I'm sure Quintaro will be around for awhile and face off with Vic towards the end. I wonder if this is going to affect Dutch at all since he's the one who had the girl come in.
Next weeks ep looks good also.

This was a great show! I managed to catch up on the first season with the week long marathon. The more I watch it, the better it gets. Can't wait for next weeks episode.
Oh, and the commercial for that gambler show starring John Corbet looked pretty interesting as well.
