FINALLY caught up after watching season 5 on DVD all the way through this weekend. Cannot wait for tomorrow night's premiere.
Didn't think season 5 was the best, but Holy Jesus I don't think I've ever had such a reaction to a TV show character before. Cavanaugh? HATE!

I may not be the smartest man alive, but do you think FX is trying to string out their new material to wait out the current writers strike? Either way, Dirt will most likely tank and we may see the Shield sooner rather than later.

The first day of the strike was the last day of shooting for the finale, so it's done and in the can. The only bummer was that the series runner wasn't able to be on the set for the last day of shooting his show as he was on strike. But the script was done and they shot it, and I'm assuming it's edited and ready to go.

Actually, as far as how "done" the shield is, an interview with Shawn Ryan (the show's creator) done back on the 16th has a little more information regarding that...

So all the footage has been shot, but the season isn't actually DONE yet.

I read that FX was saying "The Shield" has 13 episodes ready to go. Well, I can tell you that sound work hasn’t been done on the last six or seven and I haven’t looked at the last three, including the finale. I have director’s cuts of those episodes in an envelope in my house. My entire post-production staff has been disassembled. There is no final mix cut of "The Shield" for the last six episodes.

That makes it sound like it's quite possible they can't start showing the season until the strike is over, then. If Ryan is in physical possession of at least 3 episodes in incomplete form and others aren't even that far along, I'd say FX may eventually be put in a tough position unless this strike ends before they need the show to air.

If this show gets delayed, I'm going to jump off a bridge. About the only thing TV-wise I was looking forward to this summer.

I'm just glad that FX has some new episodes for their series saved up so that I can survive the boredom of this writers strike. It wouldn't be good if they used up all their new episodes so soon and then had nothing left for... who knows how long.

Warning, in the video section there is an entry for selected scenes from Season 7. Do not watch those, I had watched one a month back not realizing what it was (site was in a different format, didn't have a heading that said Season 7 selected scenes) and there were some big spoilers I think. I don't want to watch it so I am not sure they are the same, but just a warning.

I am really excited for the final season coming up. I haven't heard any news on how many episodes it'll be but it looks like they're going all out and making it a pretty big deal. With the writers strike out of the way and it being the end of everything, I'm sure they won't skimp.
I found a Chiklis interview while I was looking for news on how many episodes there would be. Enjoy: http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune....-with-shi.html
Someone should make a season 7 thread... Anyone up for the challenge? I don't mind doing opening one myself, I think its gonna get pretty big especially once the episodes start airing 9/2
