The Shield -- "Parricide" -- 10/21/08
Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Vic and Ronnie escape attempts on their lives, and when Ronnie's assailant is caught, Shane must think and act quickly. Meanwhile, with barely a week to go before he must turn in his badge, Vic makes Agent Murray a business proposition. He also has some dirty work to do for Pezuela, involving a priest (Silas Weir Mitchell), whose church is in a location Pezuela finds inconvenient.




I cannot wait for this episode!!

Sounds intense. Shane better pay for what he's done and what he's doing to the Strike team.

From what I understand the first six episodes were screened or given out to press members. They kept the second half of the season secret because things really start picking up. I believe this episode is the first toward that trend. We'll see.

Even though the "next on" preview last week spoiled the fact that the attempt on Ronnie's life was botched and they found out Shane placed the hit, I completely agree. Wow!

Quite simply the best moment since Lem's death or the end of the pilot. Is Vic going to track down Shane and kill the entire family?

Intense opening, and the slow build of tension to the shit hitting the fan with the confession was great.

I almost wish I had waited for DVD for this so I could watch the next episode RIGHT now, but honestly avoiding spoilers that long would have driven me insane.

That really was a hell of an episode. I literally can not wait for next Tuesday to get here.

I love how Vic finally quit as well. Remember what he said last season?

"I'll walk right out the front door before I get pushed out the back.

The "Oh Shit!" look on Claudette's face when she realizes that was great.

Not only that, but I loved how the scene with Claudette yelling down to him was modeled after the Aceveda-Vic scene from the pilot.

Amazing episode. I can only imagine how it is going to go down hill from here.

This season's been really good so far, but this episode was SO intense. That holy shit moment when Two Man finally offered him up... was incredible. And then that cop holding up Shane in the parking lot..... but, it makes sense that it wouldn't happen this ep.

The previews for next week though........ (which I hardly EVER watch)......... WOW!

(How many more eps?)

the scene as Shane slowly left the room with Vic (almost saw tears in Shane's eyes) and his slow walk out of the Barn, with a quick glance into their clubhouse, was done SO brilliantly.

SUCH an excellent episode.

Super intense. I really thought that the shooter would hold up under questioning. This is shaping up as one of the greatest finales EVAH.

I guess that's what one would call a game changer. I'm curious now how long they can sustain Vic on the hunt. I can't imagine it would last for 5 more episodes, so he's gotta catch up to him eventually.

Stayed up until 3 just to watch this. The build to the confession was as intense as anything I can remember in a long, long time. Best episode of the season by a long shot. My hopes were starting to fade a bit that this could end the fever pitch I was hoping for, but watching Vic realize that Shane was waiting to kill him gives me all the hope in the world.
