Cool. So there are still a few episodes to go. Was kind of stoked to see the finale tonight, but then that would have meant no more good TV for about 3 months.

My friend, I highly suggest you stay tuned for the S2 of Nip/Tuck, which premieres the week after the Shield. You'll love it

Solid episode tonight.
Did anyone else think for a second we were going to end up with a Claudette nude scene
It'll be interesting to see where the strike team goes from here. Vic was obviously upset with them voting him down for the money.

I thought "Riceburner" was okay, not a great A plot, but plenty of B subplots a-brewing within the Strike Team (Cleetus's marriage comes to light, the team not letting Vic have some of the money for his children's therapist), and also with the G-man's vigilance over the Money Train money.
But next week looks much more interesting as internal strife within the Strike Team takes its toll.

This episode was almost a necessary breather given the last few. Plus it is good to see the beginning of the crumbling of their plan for the money train loot - it was bound to happen eventually.
I second the advice to continue watching F/X in this time slot for Nip/tuck after The Shield ends.

This was a welcome change of pace all around. Doing a favor for a politician to get those ugly chairs, Vic and Aceveda turning the Korean community upside down to find the bad guy and Vic's personal troubles.
Seemed like it was Ronnie and Lem who were behind the no vote on loaning the money to Vic. Eager to see how things begin to fall apart for the strike team next week. Will Vic be able to hold things together? Tune in next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel.

I enjoyed this episode, which is great because I thought the last two (Aseveda's revenge and Dutch's interrogation) were kind of week. This week got back into more of Vic, which is good. The only bad part was Claudette in the shower. :shivers:

Sad subplot with the abused wife robbing stores to get some getaway money and then being shot dead.
Was Danny actually contemplating going out with the "playa". Yikes.
