DVD Talk Hall of Fame
I'm pretty much a newbie to this show, but I'm looking forward to the new season. I rented season one last week and LOVED it. Great all around.
I probably won't watch seasons 2 and 3 anytime soon, though. I haven't checked Blockbuster, but Hollywood Video charges full price for the fourth DVD of each set (with only one episode). Just on principle alone, I refuse to pay that. I had $.99 coupons to burn on the first season, so I didn't mind then. HV combines the 6th and 7th discs of "24" and I figured they'd do the same with "The Shield" - guess not. So anyway, I'm on the reserve list at the library for the 2nd season, which means that I'll have to wait a while.
Which leads me to my question: based on the previous seasons, would it be essential for me to get totally caught up prior to the start of the 4th season?

I just finished watching the first two eps. of season 4 and they are great. I was concerned about Glenn Close joining the cast, but she works out quite well. For me season 3 was the year of pain, with everything that happened. It wasn't as good as season 1 and 2. Season 4's back in full force.

Shield S.4
Just watched the first episode of Season 4 last night; Episode 2 is on tap for tonight. Does anyone know how/why these actually were released on the internet before the TV season premiere? It's weird!
Anyway, love the show - it's my fave on TV. Season 4 completely holds up to the previous seasons - Glenn Close is great and Aceveda is devilish as ever!

I know....
My fellow Shield maniacs...I have seen the promised land...and it is good. Lucky for me, I received a copy on VHS and DVD, the first 3 episodes of the much-anticipated SEASON 4!!!! Yes, and for those of you psyched beyond all reason, you will not be disappointed. For those worried about Glenn Close, don't be! You will love it. I won't spoil anything for you, but let's just say this: Vic Mackey has created a monster, and now, he wants to tame it.

you and everyone with internet access. The real kicker is that anyone who watches the episodes leaked will have to simply wait another 2-3 weeks before seeing a fresh episode. Seems like more torture than just waiting for the season to start.
In saying that, I love how vic is playing the good cop this season.
