My thoughts:

- Opening scene with Shane getting his ass kicked was perfect. Makes a great transition from S6.
- Mostly generic BS with the Armenians. I preferred Margos's insanity to Diro's formulaic approaches. Shane having to hack away at someone's legs shows how desperate he is.
- Ronnie looks like he is losing it. He said he is going to leave but to be honest, I think something will go down here very soon (next 2-3 episodes) that will change that.
- The tits on that black chick :drool
- Dutch and Billings team up returns again
- Setting the Mexicans and Armenians together will seal the fate of Vic and Shane. Someone will get wise and realize how those two are playing the two groups against each other.
It was a great start. One of the best parts of the latter seasons of the show is that the introduction episodes are more action driven than plot driven. Since its the last season, I expect pretty much nothing but action since there is no real point to drag it out with a story that will just end a few episodes later.
Shield season premiere was awesome, I love this show. I'm going to be really sad to see it end :(
I know. The Shield for me isn't so much a show as it is an experience. Having watched every episode from the beginning of the first season to the last episode of the last season. When Vic spoiler (click to show/hide)
burned Armadillo's face on the grill
, my friends and I talked about it for the first half of the day. Everyone had to watch it to keep up. When that thing with Aceveda happened in Season 3, my local radio talk show actually had Benito Martinez two days later to talk about the episode.
The Shield is probably the last TV show I will actually give a damn about.
:o I just came!
