Damn, Dutch is really losing it. Hard to believe that that one case could unbalance him so much. It'll be interesting to see what happens next.

I thought it was another great episode. The Armadillo storyline is better then anything from last season IMO.
The only problem I have is from watching the previews, I hope they don't develop a pattern of one ep dealing with Armadillo then the next ep as a stand alone. I think it hurts the flow of the show.

Great episode...best of the season so far. Managed to have a perfect balance between all of the running storylines. It was also good to see Connie again. She's an interesting character, and I missed her from Season 1.

Good episode (all though has there ever been a bad one). I look forward to seeing what is going to happen with Dutch. Although I doubt he is going to become a serial killer, **** is going to hit the fan one day...he is going to snap. Who is going to get the first shot to talk to Aramadillo?

I thought it was pretty powerful when
This is really setting up quite a showdown.
I'm surprised that Vic really wants to
If the DVD box set of season 1 wasn't so overpriced I'd buy it in a hearbeat. This is one of the best shows on television in the last decade.

What an awesome episode of The Shield. With OZ and Buffy being so iffy this season, I'm glad that The Shield has been so consistently great.
Armadillo is such an interesting character. Although I wouldn't put my money on him being the big bad this season, the episodes he's in are money (I totally thought he planted a bomb when Vic kept looking back at the radio). I think the next step is Armadillo going after Vic's family, and possibly killing off one of the Strike Team (Ronnie is the most undeveloped of them, and despite being in almost every episode, his name isn't in the opening credits).

Another great episode. Makes you wonder who will get to Armadillo first.. Acevada, Claudette, or Mackey?

Mike Kellerman's long, slow and entirely believable descent from happy-go-lucky cop to morose semi-murderer is still the single most dramatic, compelling and brave thing I've ever seen in a continuing drama.

Funny. I think she is one of the least interesting characters on the show. Maybe it's because I have absolutely NO sympathy for her. She just makes my stomach turn.

supervillian. Of course the storyline brought in that punk
Jon Seda and allowed him to rank on Mikey and even had Meldrick turn against him.. now that i think about it I like it less
the mohoney stuff all happened around the time Homicide
went from Great series to rather Mediocre.... no sir don't like it at all.

Kellerman and Pembleton leaving at the same time was the killer blow. Even in that last season, the show was still better than most of the stuff of it's kind on TV, just not as great as it had once been.
