JasonX 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 Here is the latest news on Season Five of "The Shield", taken from a variety of sources. Season 5 will be 21 episodes, split in half. First half airs in Jan 2006 with no word on when the remaining episodes will air. Rumor is that it will be an even 11/10 split episodewise, though that can change. Also, FX and Shawn Ryan are supposed to have finalized whether or not the show gets a sixth season by the end of December. Ryan has stated that he intends on writing season five as if it is the last season and has hinted that at least one of the core eight (Vic, Lem, Shane, Dutch, Claudette, Acaveda, Dani, and Julian) will die before the season's out, regardless of the show being renewed for a sixth season. Catherine Dent's pregnancy will be written into the show and will be MIA for a bunch of episodes in the first half of season five. No word on who the father will be revealed as being, though it has been stated that Julian will get a new female partner played by former soap star Paula Graces as a result of the storyline. Vic's relationship with his soon-to-be ex-wife will be a major plot point this season as Forest Whittaker's character, after failing to get Lem to turn against the Strike Team, will be targetting Vic's wife Corrine as a possible accomplice to her soon to be ex-husband's crimes as a means to get Vic to turn against the rest of the Strike Team. FW's character will also be laying the hammer down on Acaveda, exploiting the fact that that TPTB will use the downfall of the Strike Team to destroy Acaveda as well (since Acaveda was captain while the Strike Team was running wild) to get Acaveda under his thumb and help the investigation. Also a new possible love interest will be introduced for Vic, in the form of a defense attorney (played by Laura Harring) who Vic will hire to help the Strike Team deal with IAD and their investigation.
