Thought so.

 

Anyone else think Julian was going to go back to The Dark Side?

It was one SOLID episode. I don't think Claudette is going to turn on Vic... but's going to be more anti-Lanie than pro-Mackey

 

And Mackey's wife is really cute. Didn't really notice it until tonight.

The Money Train HAS to be a cliff-hanger, and I know I'm going to be p*ssed at waiting a year for Season 3...

I doubt it will be a cliffhanger though I do see them leaving some storylines (the "win the primaries or quit" ultimatium Aceveda received and Julian's wedding are the most likely candidate) unresolved until next season. Unless the writers are willing to do something huge and status quo shocking (like say having Vic kill or at the very least wound Claudette to keep her out of his way), most likely the season will end with Vic sacrificing the Money Train Heist in order to prove to Claudette that he's still a good guy deep down and to rewin her trust and laying the seeds for the inevitable Vic/Shane showdown that the writers have been teasing since the first season....

I'm thinking more of his ex making a scene at the wedding and exposing Julian right after he says "I Do", which will force Julian to leave his wife at the chapel out of shame of having his secret exposed to his in-laws.....

I thought the wedding already happened...he said she was his wife.

Yeah, Julian definately introduced Vanessa as his wife. Could it be that he wanted to trick Thomas into thinking that he was already married, or do you think the wedding did already take place and it was all off-camera?

 

Actually, had Julian done that, Vanessa would have been suspicious as to why he introduced her as his wife if they weren't married yet. Well, I guess it was all off-camera.

 

As an aside, am I the only one that thinks Vanessa is ugly?

 

The girl tonight... the young girl who accused her boss of rape... now SHE was fine!

 

And Mackey's wife is really cute. Didn't really notice it until tonight.

 

Interesting note for those who didn't know: the actress who plays Corrine Mackey is married to Shawn Ryan, creator and executive producer of the show.

Yeah it did happen off camera. In last weeks esp. when Lanie's report was leaked out they show Julian talking how he can't loss his job now because, he just got married.

You're not the only one. She looks like a ghetto mom to me which I guess is what they're going for.

Lemmonhead: "Me and Ronnie will go over the money train..." (Gotta love the Lem)

 

This show is the shit! Tonight's episode was another great one, but what I'm looking forward to is next week's season final.

 

David's last day on the job.

Claudette taking over.

THE MONEY TRAIN!

Jullian getting payback.

 

Dammit, this is the best show on TV.

It was a great episode, but I was kind of pissed that 1. they teased another Strike Team member getting killed only to end up going "PSYCH!" and 2. Didn't show us Lemonhead's reaction to being forced to kill the psycho kid (though hopefully we'll get to see them exploring it in next week's episode).....

 

As for the finale, it seems that with this week's episode that they are seriously looking at doing a purging of the cast. What will probably happen though will be:

 

1. Aceveda winning the primary by the skin of his teeth which leads to him winning the election inbetween the season 2 finale and season 3 opener and him coming back next year to annoy Vic and Claudette...

 

2. Claudette takes the captain's post only to abandon her growing vendetta against when Vic captures the guy who kills her ex-husband.

 

3. The Money Train heist getting fucked up do to the deaths of several people involved in the heist (who may or may not include Ronnie, depending on if they still plan to write the character or keep him around)

 

4. The announcement of a massive purging of the police staff in order to leave people guessing as to who will be back next season

 

5. Vic's family life continuing to fall apart in some shape or manner, like say Connie getting winning full custody in a quicky divorce or Connie arranging for Vic to be barred from being anywhere near his kids until their divorce goes before a judge...

CLaudette taking Asceveda's spot was GOLDEN. It's SUCH a good thing that they don't go to the first commercial break until half past because there's NO way to resolve all this shit in an hour. And I think Lem's not going to make it to next season, since his death is the only one that could be considered "justified"

 

GAH! I can't wait.

GAH!  I can't wait.

I don't think so given that Lem's been written consistantly as being the moral core of the Strike Team and killing him off without any sort of build-up defies logical storytelling 101.

 

At best I can see, provided that the Strike Team successfully carries out the Money Train heist, Lem resigns from the Strike Team now that he's financially set and is assigned to partner with Dutch (who will be partnerless if Claudette gets promoted). Given that the writing staff and the producers of the show are said to be big supporters of Kenny Johnson (the actor who plays Lem), I wouldn't be suprised if they bumped him up to a higher profile spot on the show. Especially if Benito Martinez doesn't come back for season 3....

I can't wait to see Julian kick those bigot cop's asses.

 

And man, they let them say pretty much anything on this show.

 

"Your dick in my ass means you're gay. My dick in your mouth means you're very gay!"

I watched the first two episodes of the season again. I'm starting to see the swerve now, in that it's Shane who's going to end up getting too greedy (as Gilroy warned about) and that's what's going to lead to the confrontation with Vic.

 

I thought the idea with Acevada was that he sacrificed the city council spot to keep the station going. Is he not coming back for next season?

Little less than 40 minutes until the money train! This and South Park are the only two show I wait all week to see now...

Thoughts:

 

- Blanket Party @ The End....WOW. Just WOW. Can't wait for Julian's revenge.

 

- Money Train Score....That's a LOT of fucking cash.

 

- I'm glad Aceveda won, I thought he was a good character.

 

- Dani leaves? Eh....I dunno. And was that Aceveda on the target she was shooting?

Wow, Dani sure got the short end of the stick this season. I wonder how Vick and Claudette will co-exist next season. Too bad we'll have to wait nearly a year to find out...

Wow, that was a great episode and a fucking AMAZING set up for next season. I can't say this enough, but The Shield just RULES at montages and this ending one was no different. I've never felt so much emotion as I did watching Mackey walking down those steps in the very last shot. Perfect.

Yeah no kidding that was one hell of a season ending montage. And that song they were playing was very powerful. Does anyone know the song and who sings it?

I hope all the regulars are back next season, there really isn't a character I don't like. They CAN'T get rid of Dani!

 

I loved the shot of the Strike Team around the table of money, that just looked cool.

 

And I LOVED seeing Dutch at the scene of the money train at the end of the episode...I hope like hell they follow up with that.

 

STILL the best show on tv.
