Working under the assumption that someone on the Strike Team won't make it through the next 2 show, which is no lock, I think it's very possible they knock off Shane. He's an intregal character but if it were real life than it would be a miracle he hasn't been killed, caught, or rolled over by the rest of the team yet.

Another excellent episode. It's certainly building for the strike team and I hope a big blow-up is in the making. I don't want the money train story ending with them getting away with it. Somebody has to pay.

A very good episode. I was glad to see the return of the hilarious fence courting Danny from last week. That actor has "star quality." I hope he has a promising career ahead of him.
FYI, regarding Ronnie: he is the only active member of the strike team who is not a series "regular." Tevon too, of course.

However, great episode! I don't think Lem is going to go away. More interesting to watch him squirm and be the conscience of the Strike Team. He has always been my favorite character even though he is only second to Ronnie in terms of lack of real screen time (only because Ronnie is usually silent and was missing alot after his face got burned off). Now that the Armenian mess is being pushed back to the Strike Team, I think this storyline will come to some sort of resolution (a 90% one since nothing ever resolves neatly or goes cleanly "off the table" - see the recent "Previously on The Shield" when they showed the clips about Terry).
Either way I think I might have to hold off on next week's episode until I have Tivo'ed both since I'm sensing from the previews the finale is actually a two-parter.

I think they're in a dangerous area story-wise - if they kill someone off, it's going to seem like they're ripping off The Sopranos; if the ST again escapes unscathed, it's going to strain plausibility even further.

It's not like no one dies on the Shield. Already this season 2 regulars have been raped, and 1 semi-regular killed himself. 8 year olds and 80 year olds dropped like flies. I see no reason to think plausibilty will be lost if no one on the Strike Team dies and besides the use of language and violence I don't see how it looks like they're ripping off the Sopranos.

Yeah - this was the part of the plan I had problems with. Presuming the marked bills are not sequential, it doesn't stand up to logic.

With the now known leak in the treasury office this may take some steam out of that sail, or explain it off the strike team.

Very good point. It would stand to reason that the insider at Treasury tipped the real theives to the list of marked bills and they pinned them on a patsy.
