The headache line was great as well.

This show has me asking the question are not the writers the real stars of this show?
I never hear about writers threating to leave a show because they want mega bucks.
I know they belong to a union, but the writers of THE SHIELD are underpaid.
When we hear that the cast of FRIENDS got $1 million each for staying on the show wasn't the writers that made the show.

AMEN.

Just caught the ep. on my DVR. AWESOME. I don't think there's ever been a show on TV that's been THIS good for its ENTIRE run (and this without two of the show's most riveting characters, Lem and Kavanaugh).

That said, I can't wait for next week's ep.!

The Wire springs to mind..but agreed, it's a rarity.

I know that we can't say where, and I wouldn't do that, but if you know where to look online you can find the next two episodes to download since the show apparently airs earlier in France.

It's because the press kit contained a DVD of the first 6 episodes.

And this press kit has the episodes with French as the language for the opening credits? I've read that it's because France is airing 2 episodes/week of the Shield over there.

Was the press kit in French? The episodes online have French text (nothing major, just where it says "created by" and that sort of thing in the credits) and there is a TV station logo on the picture.

Anyway, the next two episodes are flat out awesome. You haven't seen anything yet.

EDIT:

Ha, Patman beat me to it. The only bad thing about this is that I can't talk about the episodes here yet.

Huh, ok, my bad. I figured that it had to be the press kit episodes (search eBay for "Shield Press Kit" to see one) because Europe is almost always behind the US in airings when it's a show from the states, and I figured if you were watching it in English it couldn't have come from France because it would have been dubbed...
