The Shield, season 3. Official Thread

Recommended Posts

And damn I really didn't think Tommy was going to kill himself.

 

Right before his suicide, I was figuring that Tommy was being set up as a lone gunman-type psycho who would eventually shoot Acaveda either right before or right after he got elected towards the end of the season. The suicide seemed forced somewhat, as if the writers wanted to do a montage of everyone reacting to something going on at the Barn. That being said, I was really really suprised that they didn't show the gore from the gunshot wound.

 

After watching tonight's ep I having a strong feeling that Shane stole that 7 grand and it's going to lead to him or his GF getting killed off by season's end.

 

Is it just me or is everyone forgetting that Vic had to use a good chunk of the money train loot in a police bust and that not only did the ST get the money stolen from them but also that the money was later found and now sitting in the evidence vault at the precinct? Not to mention the entire sequence at the beginning of the season when Vic outright lied to Ronnie and Lem about Shane taking some of the money to buy his GF her car when he knew for a fact that Shane was paying for said car out of his own pocket?

 

That being said, the most obvious suspect seems to be Ronnie. He was the one who pushed for the money train heist and that as the proverbial invisible man of the ST, he's in a position to poison everyone against each other and not seem to be actively playing the part of the shit-disturber. The scene where he is talking to Lem about Vic being the person who took the money screamed shit-disturber, especially since they've started the angle of Lem being ready to mutiny against Vic but being unable to do anything do to him being outnumbered three-to-one...

 

When Julian went in to give his sperm sample I just know that he was going to jerk it to gay porn. I think somehow, someway (like maybe finding him in bed with a man) his wife is going to find out his was/is gay and then is going to leave him.

 

I also figured out the sperm bank thing though I was personally shocked that they didn't have Julian automatically whip out the muscle magazine to look at as soon as he entered the room. As for how this affects his marriage, the writers seem to be heading towards Julian being the one who ends the marriage after realizing that the sham marriage is only obscuring his real problems regarding his need to accept his sexuality and finally becoming a happy, well-adjusted gay guy complete with his own personal girl sidekick in the form of Dani.

I don't want to think about who took the money, I just want it to play out and be happy with the results.

 

Nothing on David's story, not much on the rapist this week. The Tommy thing was good, but you didn't know the character much to have that much feeling over it. And I knew damn Julian was going back to the dark side in the jerk room.

 

Very good episode. Next week's looks epic. I hate waiting a week in between episodes.

Hopefully, Shane's woman took the money so they can right her out of there. It seems like she knows they have the stash, and she probably figured that the $7000 wasn't going to be too missed. She spends the marked bills, and Vic has to betray Shane. Or Shane becomes righteous and does it himself. But either way, it's going to build on the schism between the two.

Question-

 

Didn't Vic himself steal some money out of the stash when they moved it, in order to pay expenses for his family?

2. Why was Julian donating sperm?

He wants to have kids with his wife but having problems with the wife in the bedroom, do to him being gay. So it's his way of finding out if he's got a medical problem that is keeping him from getting the wife pregnant....

Shane's a little whipped. I wouldn't put it past him to give her a copy of the key. And that was funny as hell Lem picking on Shane in the start of the show, when they were playing games.

What the hell was that song playing at the end of the episode? I've heard it a million times and can't pin it down.

 

I really should watch this show more. I just catch episodes on and off and really suffer for it.

The show is in LA. The only show to take place outside of LA that I can remember is when the Strike Team bought some bad coke and went to Mexico to take it out on the guy who sold it to them.

it's in Farmington, hence the nickname of The Farm for the precinct they work out of. I thought it was near LA but after doing some checking it's a good 360 miles away, it's closer to San Fran and San Jose....
