The Shield -- "Bitches Brew" -- 10/14/08

Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Vic's review-board hearing is moved up unexpectedly (but the result isn't unexpected), putting new pressure on his mission to take down Pezuela---which hits another snag when the Feds take over the investigation of Robert Martin's murder. Meanwhile, Vic ramps up his quest to stay in his infant son's life; Shane tends to private business as he probes a prostitute's murder; and Dutch is disturbed by what he finds at Claudette's house when he and Billings investigate a neighborhood break-in.

Another good ep, though I'm starting to dislike Claudette more and more. And the ending, its all down hill now.

Looking forward to see where Shane's business at the end leads us to.

I'm still curious to see if either of the domestic plotlines (custody of Danny's kid or Cassidy) ends up bringing Vic down in the end, because right now, much like in season one in particular, they seem too much like extra juggling balls for Vic that don't really need to be in the show.

DITTO, and not just because her place looked like something out of Seven or Silence of the Lambs.

I love how they are bringing some of the old characters back and finishing their stories.

It looked to me like Danny was packing up to run away. I'm really surprised Claudette is still putting up with Dutch intruding into her business to this level, given her feeling stoward him over the last few seasons. I don't think I saw Tina at all in this episode. I also really hope they do something with Julian before the show ends.

In any event, the preview for next week screamed, "Holy Shit".

Seems to me they have tried to make Vic too sweet all of sudden with his caring for his son from Danny. He has 2 kids that he should be worried about.
Seems like they are setting it up for Vic to have a happy ending and have fans happy with that.

I am getting a completely different vibe. I think this will be as far away from a happy ending as you can get.

Seriously? Danny is so scared of Vic having any input in raising her child that she's packing up her shit and most likely getting out of town.

He cares about the kid, but only because he wants a chance to atone for his fuckups in his first relationship. Unfortunately he has burned so many bridges that people don't want to give him another chance. He probably is going to pay for his sins by losing his job (10 days away from that), his friend (if Ronny gets offed), and his family (kid hates him, wife/exwife doesn't trust him).

I actually feel the show is setting us up for the opposite. It feels like they are trying to make Vic into a truly caring, "honest" guy this season. And I think they are doing it so that the audience feels all the more connected to him and his humanity when this show reaches its ugly, violent conclusion.

Vic always had his own code, regardless of which season we are looking at. All we are seeing this season is the results of his actions coming to a final conclusion.

Will he get away with everything, lose his family, go to jail, or die? Regardless of how they decide to end his story, many fans will probably be upset. The character is a walking moral dilemma.

BTW, I'm starting to get a vibe that Ronnie is looking at everyone as an enemy now. If he eliminates Shane, and Vic leaves, he takes over the strike team with no one left to take him down, except maybe Diro if she returns. The character is certainly interesting this season.

I almost hope Ronnie takes out both Shane and Vic before it's all said and done.

Yeah, I can see Ronnie taking Vic on in and using the reason that Vic betrayed Lem by letting Shane leave. Either way, I don't think I've ever seen Ronnie as angry as he has been this season.

I don't see it ending well for Vick. Was the security guard ex cop on one of the past seasons?

Vic went on a run with him when Apollo Creed needed vics help to get a job with the security firm.

In the end the security firm was musceling one group of drug dealers so another group could move in.

Vic was pissed at the guy when they left off.
