The Shield Season 3 Premiere (March 9)
Off to a good start, can't wait until next week!
A quick question, whose arm did Jules break? His ex-lovers?
Also, when Vic was taking the money at the end, do you think he was taking $100,000 to buy the arms from the Mexicans, or was he moving it all?
One more thing, any idea what the song (and singer) is that was playing at the end as Vic was taking the money?
Also I noticed the ad for Chivas, first time I've seen an ad for hard liquor on TV (that I remember, at least).

heat, Julain was breaking the arm off the cop who gave him the blanket party last season
about vic, wow that is a good question, at first I was thinking he was just taking the $100,000 grand but then after Acveda said the atm line, and the way he looked at Dutch he knows they are up to something.
but Cleetus
could ruin it for them, what if he paid cash for the downpayment( I know he said he was going to charge it buy who knows), they could have been marked bills at the Lexus dealership, which would come right back to him and the team
But again a great beginning to the best show on television, the spoilers for next week and the rest of season 3 were pretty bad, they basically show that

Vic'll probably blame "Cletus" when the marked bills show up, but it'll probably be the result of some of the ones he's shoving into the bag at the end.
I'm glad that they finally brought that Armenian freak back into the story -- that was one loose end that was never addressed (season 1?) that really bugged me.

That was a great episode! Even though it had been months, I felt like no time had passed once we got into the episode. That was exactly how every season opener should go. Past characters were used perfectly, but it was done in a way that was probably friendly to the first time viewer curious about what the fuss is about.
Based on that preview, it should be quite a season. I can't wait for next Tuesday...

Very good episode.
I'm glad they're going to work Danny back into the barn.
It was good to see Julian grow a pair and **** up one of the guys who gave him the blanket party.

Same here. What happened in those last few minutes? Apparently Vic went to the storage place and took some money?

SOME SPOILERS
OK, just watched it again. Vic was talking to Julian telling him
I noticed that it carried over a little which is why Tivo'ers lost the last few minutes. But yes, Aceveda told him that he was changing how things are done and that Vic needed to go through requisitions (or something) for the money, and that it would take a couple of days, and that if he wanted the money sooner he just have to go to the ATM. Then Vic is in the storage locker opening the chest and putting some money in a bag (not all of it, the scene ended while he was still taking some money out).
Of course some marked bills will surface, my guess is that Vic took $100,000 out to
Heh, those of you who taped it with Tivo won't be watching the previews since they were shown at the end of the show and you missed the last few minutes.

Wow, what a way to start the season off running. I agree with Jimmy James, there feels like no time has passed. I really can't wait to see how this all unfolds. Also I hate Asseveda! Grrr! He pisses me off, which I guess just means the actor and writers are really doing there job.

Not yet.
BTW, if the season 3 premiere left off from the season 2 finale, then the only 2 people that looked like their looks changed between seasons were Ronnie (with the beard) and Corinne (longer hair). I didn't think Ronnie could grow a decent looking beard with the skin grafts on his face (unless he had a hairy butt to begin with)

Yeah - F/X really screwed DVR people last night. I had forgotten about this problem when I watched Nip/Tuck last summer. I'll now pad the 11 pm showing 15 minutes.
Can anyone give a summary of the last few minutes. I did see the very end with Vic making a withdrawl. What else happened in the last 5 minutes? How did Vic handle the Mexicans? Anything else?
Also, how much time has passed since the end of S2 and beginning of S3? It didn't seem like much considering Aceveda said he was still 6 months away from taking office, but then again Julian was fully recovered from his beating. Definitely confusing.

Julien asked the ex-cop to tell the truth to what he and his co-horts did to him, but the ex-cop declines the offer, and tries to walk by Julien to get to his apartment, but Julian grabs him and puts the ex-cop against the wall face-planted with his right arm held behind him, and Julien says something like "An army beseige me, but my heart won't fear" and then Julien breaks the ex-cop's arm, and leaves. Then we see Cleetus help his girlfriend to buy the car after all. Then we see the black gang do a drive-by shooting at 4 Latinos in front of the arcade (settling the score from Lops being shot earlier, but Vic doesn't know this yet), but one of the Latinos gets away. Then Vic is back at the storage place getting some money. We don't know if Vic is moving the money or using it for his "show" money (since the situation has now been escalated with the drive-by shooting).
Cue credits.

Solid premiere last night. My guess is that a month or two has passed since the end of S2. Enough time for Ronny to grow a beard and Julian to recover, but no way to tell for sure.
