Loved the scene with Tina and Hyatt. Probably the hottest scene of the entire series. I only wish that FX had more money into this series and we would have gotten more than the usual 10-15 episodes. The writing has been solid.

Wow. WOW.
In ONE ep. we get Tina's ass (highlight of the SERIES, IMO), a deliciously diabolical Billings, Shane f'ing the entire crew AGAIN, the Aceveda pic, hardcore Ronnie, Dutch on the verge of another breakdown...awesome, awesome stuff.
The ONLY bad thing about this season is Julian's role. I love his character, and the arc where he was struggling with his identity is still one of my favorites. I was hoping we'd get more of Julian's reaction to working with Vic and the shady things that have been going on since his joining the team. Instead, he'd been relegated a bit player and he's now the LEAST visible character on the show.

Another great episode. Puppetmaster Billings cracked me up. The only season that I haven't seen is 3 (when I was getting caught up, it was the only one the library didn't carry; go figure), so I've never actually seen the episode with Aceveda's rape, although I've seen the "previoiusly on" snippet many times. I didn't know that there was a photo of the incident, so this week's ending really took me by surprise.
I went ahead and downloaded the finale tonight, as I don't want to wait a week to see how the season is resolved.
"Why the hell is Dutch looking through the window?"

I got a feeling from Dutch's speech, post-Tina, that he may have been pushed over the edge. I've been expecting it to be just a matter of time before he becomes a serial killer.

Speculation but read only after you have seen the season six finale as it contains info on other characters!!!

So I don't see how he would have a problem with having Vic killed. If he'll have Federal agent killed(assuming he's dead) I don't see him giving a damn about Vic. In the long run I would think Aceveda would be more valuable to him.

Pezuela obviously thinks he can control Vic and has already figured out he can control Aceveda. Clearly, he's into something deep or he wouldn't be worried about Vic digging and finding it.

Pretty damn sly of them, IMHO. They remind us of it a month or so ago, wait until it's in the back of our minds again, and then come out of nowhere with a lead pipe to our collective skulls.

I'm surprised no one drew a connection between Dutch peaking in on Tina and Hiatt and his first season spying on Vic and Danny. Twice he has gone after a girl cop and twice been beaten to it by the current leader of the Strike Team.

Yeah man, Lem's death and Shane's turn to the dark side has been the best thing to happen to Ronnie's character. I'm still in love with his reaction to finding out about Terry's death. "If you had told me I could have protected you better." The guy is loyal to a fault.
Oh, and regarding the previews for next week, (just speculation)

Woah. They really did a good job with Billings this year. Last year he was the stumbling bumbling fool, but they made him out to be just as good as anyone in being a vindictive, manipulative jerkoff. I love it.

The Shield re-airs several times during the week. You should find it with little problems.

I previously read Doc MacGyver's spoiler ONLY because it was his speculation, but now I know it's "close, but no cigar".

Besides, if i had to wait until next Tuesday to post that, I wouldn't remember half of what I posted
