I saw Ronnie on The Unit (another great Shawn Ryan show) on Sunday, which was cool.
I'm depressed about this great show ending. Hate it when that happens, though it's great to know it's going to out strong. I'd be very surprised if Vic walked away untouched.

12 hours to go, betting pool time! (if someone wants to make this a poll in a thread of its own, go ahead).
Who won't make it out of tonight's episode alive? Are we going to have a massive body count like many of us are expecting, or will we be surprised when most of the cast is still standing? Give us your death list, but put any explanations behind a cut or save them until after the show has aired, please.
Your main list of potential victims:
Claudette Wyms
Corrine Mackey
Dani Sofer
David Aceveda
Dutch Wagenbach
Julien Lowe
Mara Vendrell
Ronnie Gardocki
Shane Vendrell
Steve Billings
Tina Hanlon
Vic Mackey
My guesses:
Corrine
Julien
Tina Hanlon
Shane
That's my death list. Not spectacular, I know. So why not Vic? Why won't Vic be paying for his crimes?

No shit. In Canada, SHOWCASE who shows this is ONE WEEK BEHIND. So tonight we're getting 'Possible Kill Screen' and next week the finale... you bet your ass I'll find a way to see this finale ASAP...I don't think I've been this excited for a TV show in a long time. The Shield has never let me down, this season has been AMAZINGLY GOOD and from all the (non-spoiler) reviews I've read, tonight the show is going out with a bang. Stupid showcase and their delay.
(and my guesses for the death list are Claudette, Acevada, Ronnie and Shane)

I've never seen The Shield before, should I watch it tonight? or start from the beginning?
Just joking... about watching it tonight. I am one of the few who have never watched an ep. Maybe one day I will.

Besides the pilot and the season 5 finale, my favorite moments from The Shield are:
The episode before the season 5 finale. Vic tells Kavanaugh "Your wife's pussy...tastes like sweet butter." Kavanaugh's face was priceless.
Season 4 where Glenn Close is interrogating Antwon Mitchell and makes him cry.
Season 2 when Armadillo surrenders and then Shane and Lem get him shanked in the cage. I read the thread from this episode and it appears that I'm the only one who was surprised when it happened.

I don't usually stick with shows long enough to see a finale. They often get stale and wear out their welcome. The Shield,though, is just as good now as it was the day Vic shot Terry. Can't wait for tonight, but it will be missed.

Last week, Tivo had this episode at 90 minutes, now it's at 105 minutes. Bonus! I padded just in case though. I'll start about 45 minutes late so I can skip commercials. Can't freaking wait - this is more anticipated for me than any theatrical movie, recently, anyways...

I think we should all take an oath right now to not post during the show. You've got to allow yourself to take it all in and savor these final glorious moments we have with THE SHIELD.
