I don't know if it's this episode or a preview for a future one, but I saw a preview that had

I can only imagine how this season is going to turn out!

That was the preview for this week. Should be another great episode. :up:

this show is amazing.

Awesome episode as usual. The best show on TV in my opinion. Can't wait to see what happens next week when

Who's going to get it worse? Shane...or Dutch? :lol:

Chicklis is the only actor on earth that can actually make you believe that his head will realistically EXPLODE!

Hows that for emoting?

Shane, Dutch, or......Aceveda, who's gonna get it worse?

BTW...the scene with Cleetus and Vic approaching the buy and Vics eyes never leaving Shane was so fuckin powerfull!

Awesome episode

I loved the scene with the camera infront of Shane with Vic behind him as they were going to the bust.

I think Vic's head would have exploded if he walked in on Dutch playing dad with his daughter. Loved their scene outside

"What kind of car do you want?"

"Hey Dutchboy what are you riding in these days?

"A Suburu"

"Anything but a Suburu":lol:

ever see the one hardball skit on SNL from a couple months ago when they did a spoof of Zell Miller? his head looked like it would explode

god, that was a great episode. why can't tuesday come already?

Wow. Just wow. This show is amazing. Hands down the best episode of the season thus far, and easily the best show on TV.

Thats where I thought has was walking to at the end of the episode. You could see he was super pissed when he bumped those guys on the street.

I could see him coming through the front door with Dutch there then fade to black roll credits!

I'm just waiting for Vic to do to the same thing to Aceveda that he did to Julien in season 1.

Vic needs to find that camera phone or catch Aceveda with that prostitute and SOON!!!

Damn - the tension that this show is creating is almost unbearable.

Julian busting the DVD bootlegger. :lol::thumbsup:

Lem was worried when Shane & Vic approached the bust together. Vic wasn't getting in front of Shane no matter what.

Fucking Julian. Arresting some poor schmuck just to make a point? Glad to see Monica took him to task for that.

Aceveda took care of that last season. He arrested the rapist and erased the picture.

Julien is becoming annoying and useless again, he seems to do this every season. I am sure Assinvaded will come to his rescue. And I agree Vic needs to squash him SOON.

Who can blame him after Vic's request for a new car, which was even more outlandish.

Great episode last night. The expression on Vic's face when he was trailing Shane was intense if I've ever seen one! "After you..."

Dutch with Vic's ex-wife -

'Scuse me, I just puked in the back of my throat.

I think the only way this can go down is for Shane to come clean to Vic, and ask him for help with this whole Antwone mess.

I can't wait to see Vic explode when he finds out that Dutch has been dating his wife and hanging out with his kids - that will set him off more than anything else.

What an episode. The scene where Vic was watching the tape with Antwone and Shane on it was actually suspenseful, even though you knew exactly who Antwone wanted dead.

The scene where Monica and Claudette talk in the hospital was also probably the most touching moment of any Shield episode to date.

Vic's a teacher...He's working on his lesson plans for Shane, Aceveda and Dutch.

Claudette: "She's up on her soapbox again."
Dutch: "Does she have her own or does she get to borrow yours?"
BRILLIANT line, and I love that Dutch doesn't back down.
However, it's one thing to stand up to Claudette, and I'm guessing it will be quite another to stand up to an angry Vic...

If you ask me, Dutch is showing himself to be the true mastermind. Vic jabs and jabs and Dutch takes the hits day in and day out. All the time planning for the knockout punch.

Check how when Vic's wife was coming in for the kiss and the kid walked up. Dutch could've continued with the kiss and played with the kid after, but no. He went straight for the storytelling, because he know that thats what will really get him in good with the mom. The man is a master.

D

Yep - it is the Shield's version of Revenge of the Nerds, which was a great piece of storytelling.

So are we saying that Vic will murder a Homicide detective, a Vice Detective and a City Councilman witin a week?

I actual support Julian in what he did to the dvd guy. the whole property confiscation thing is BS

Yeah. Not to mention taking a beating from Vic might not be that bad.I'm going to say Dutch and Vic's soon to be ex aren't real serious about their relationship yet. If Vic lays a hand on Dutch she'll hate Vic more and push closer to Dutch.

I agree, :up:

Big gang problem in Buffalo?

The problem with the confiscation stuff is that it takes property when you're arrested, not convicted. So it goes against the whole innocent till proven guilty. It really should'nt hold up in court at all.

D

Why doesnt he have a camera in Acevadas car?

More info on the asset forfeiture program:

http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/afp/

exactly, it's also a violation of teh 5th Amendment since the property is taken without a conviction

I really think Dutch is the one in the most danger.

The long-term stuff gets Vic closer and closer to the boiling point, just ready to explode. Then it's the random shit he doesn't expect--like the flashlight in the eyes--that makes him go postal. If he were to walk in on Dutch playing Daddy to his kids, look out.

I kinda lost track of all the Russians by the end of the episode. Can someone clear it up?

As far as I understand it (I've only been watching the show for all of two episodes, so if there's backstory, I don't have it), there was the main mobster guy who they were trying to get a hold of (the one that Vic accosted while the other cop was switching the recording stuff in the car). However, when the Organized Crime unit tried to bust the group of mobsters, the main one slipped away, and the planned arson was still likely to go ahead. Vic traded info with the other gangster (the one involved with the cigarettes) to get information that would lead him to the main russian guy. That's who he ended up beating up in the apartment to get the name and location of the arsonist. He then found the arsonist, dragged him to the same apartment, then set it up so that the cops would arrive and take them both away.

Yeah, the seizure laws are Draconian Link .

Did any of you catch all the Mancow stuff in this episode? The Mancow's Morning Madhouse sticker on the Pontiac G6 that got pulled over. And Turd, Mancow, Big Al Roker Jr, and DJ Luv Cheese were all extras in it. Mancow has a radio show in Chicago if you don't know what I'm talking about.
