Are seasons 4-6 any good? I started watching season 4 on DVD a few weeks ago and stopped about 4 episodes in 'cuz it was getting very tame. Tame just doesn't sit right with a show that has their main characters suck cock at gunpoint.

Seasons 4 and 5 are both awesome. 5 is probably the best. 6 is pretty great, too, but it's all buildup to 7. 6 kinda feels like the second half of 5 to a degree.

Season 4 has Antwon Mitchell. he's the fuckin tits. And Glenn Close, who is also really awesome and she has tits.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #4 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:02:32 AM »

I wasn't a huge fan of Season 4 (of course, it's still pretty damn great), but Season 5 is fuck amazing.

TVC15 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:07:38 AM »

I liked season 4 a lot, especially Antwon Mitchell, and it's always awesome to see Shane fuck up when he's on his own.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #6 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:38:06 AM »

I think I just felt somewhat like VALIS, in the sense that Season 3 just turned the intensity and insanity up so many notches in comparison to the two seasons that preceded it, that Season 4 felt a bit tame. I feel like most of the good Antwon stuff was later in the season, too. But I'm not good at remembering this stuff.

No, he is referring to something else, one of the best parts of the show, so I won't spoil. Although you could take some lessons from Julien, PD. He's the big, black, bald guy who's hyper-religious and struggling with homosinuality.

They originally planned to just make season 6 the second half of season 5 but seperating them made sense. It doesn't make sense to have season 4 and 5 together though.

TVC15 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 02, 2008, 04:17:45 PM »

I think 6 works better if you take it as the second half of season 5. On its own, as a season, it is the weaker of the two, and I'd imagine people got INSANELY hyped after 5. Plus, you can't even watch 6 without 5, what with them being so closely integrated.

drew · « **Reply #22 on:** August 02, 2008, 04:31:50 PM »

I always liked Season 1 the most. Every episode was awesome, in Seasons 2, 3 and 4 there's more filler and a lot of Strike Team drama to keep up with.

love this scene:

well season 5 was mainly about digging up the dirty things the strike team did in the past and it climaxed with lem's death so I don't think they could have put lem's murder in the middle of the season. season 6 actually had a lot go on in it like vic hunting after lem's killer, the strike team falling apart, confronting shane, and the whole thing with the mexican maufia and aceveda's buddy. plus there was hiatt.

actually, that's why I think season 6 is the best one and season 5 is the second best season.

Second episode premiered tonight:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I felt it was a largely transitional episode. The writers also decided to move away from the Strike Team problems and move towards the usual BS that the Farm has to deal with. I guess that was needed. The past few seasons have been so heavy leaning towards the Strike Team that a lot of characters get ignored.

- The trash talking kid that got Claudette to call him a nigga.
- Danny and Tina having a fight. I half expected them to pounce on each other. I'm sure something will go down between those two soon.
- Vic's worthless daughter trying to press charges against him.

It wasn't as good as the premiere but I could see the episodes following from it be pretty good.

I liked this episode, but, well. . .I guess I should preface this by saying that while I am glad that the creative team has apparently worked especially hard to give everyone good stories (I guess with closure) this season, I kinda wish that this season would be all Strike Team. I know that the last episode was all strike team, and that this one is setting up other things, but in comparison, this new episode sorta feels like filler.

Still a good, Shield-quality episode.

One season (Season 5), a few episodes (Season 6). It would be interesting if he made an appearance this season (7) but I'm not counting on it.

it was a fucking good episode. the show has a nice variety of characters and it's good that they have episodes like this to take advantage of that.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

and it was obvious that vic's daughter would do something like that. she JUST found out all the bad shit he did. she did a lexus-nexus or whatever report (legal background check) in the last season and found out about his police brutality charges. and then she just saw and heard about the new drama with the armenian hit squads and vendrell's wife being tied up and gagged. she definitely hates what her father does but I think she'll forgive him enough to not want him behind bars by the end of the series.

also, it's interesting how much money vic asked the cartel boss for at the end of the episode. I think that he's planning to move his family out of town or out of the country after he finishes up the armenian-mexican war.

Season 7.3 Impressions

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I thought it was a good episode. A lot of shit was done and undone, adding even more chaos to the season.

- It is obvious that Vic and Shane are so far in over their heads that Ronnie finally spoke up about it. He was the guy that went along with everyone, from grilling Armadillo's face, to the money train, to saving Shane from Antwon, Shane killing Lem, etc. The fact that he is now backing out is a pretty telling sign. I agree with Ronnie though. Vic and Shane are beyond fucked. Every time they try to clean up one mess, they get two more.

- That horndog porn producer grabbing Paula Garces' tits. Great work!

- I thought the whole Dutch involvement seem put upon, like trying to throw back to the earlier episodes of The Shield when Dutch wanted nothing more than to bend Danny over the table. At least it was somewhat return to form for Dutch, who went from mediocre detective back to his old ways. They even had an Asian girl as a victim, which, of course, if you know about Season 1, it was very similar. I consider it a homage, even if it was unintentional.

- Shane is still the lying scumbag that he is. I can easily see that Shane or Mara will fuck Vic over in the end. What else do they have to lose? I can't see Vic getting shot by a Mexican or Armenian hit man so I imagine Shane's backstabbing will seal Vic's fate. Shane is too stupid and will probably find his life cut short with a bullet.

- Vic's daughter shoving the useless Corinne around. Then even when Vic stands up to her, useless Corinne kicks Vic out. I know Cassidy is Vic's daughter in real life but the only difference between them visually is that she has hair.

I expect 7.4 to step up the manic pace of the show. Vic and Shane keep getting entangled in the spider web and maybe Dutch will finally fuck Danny.

Season 7.4 premiered yesterday. Apparently I'm the only EB member that is watching this show. Oh well, keeping it alive:

- Vic's daughter is getting really annoying. I could see her talking to the wrong person but so far, anyone who can dish up dirt on Vic hasn't told her anything. Maybe she will run away and get shot somewhere.

- The Mexican vs. Armenian situation is officially out of control.

- Dutch's character is trying to return to the old days.

I thought it was kind of a boring episode.

Episode 7.5 Impressions

spoiler (click to show/hide)

- A decent episode. I noticed they are trying to bring back pretty much a lot of significant events from the series over the years. This time, it was Kleavon. It didn't add much to the plot but I considered it more of a homage to previous seasons, to let the viewers know that the season is just not about the Strike Team.

- The Strike Team has taken more of a backseat role in these past couple episodes. Instead of all hell breaking loose, everything remains calm. I don't expect that to last. In fact, I could see next episode dealing with payback.

- Cassidy being the Pimps and Hos party organizer along with securing drugs

At first, I thought she was going to uncover Vic's dealings in greater depth but she is fucking up enough on her own to where I don't expect that to happen anymore.

- The return of Deena, another homage to previous seasons (1 and 2)

That was one of the better episodes this season. I especially liked how Dutch was handling Ted Bundy jr.

I was always suspicious of that ICE agent though. I wonder how much Vic is going to push her for help in taking down Pezuela.

I finished checking the Kleavon episodes, and he definitely did not know that Claudette was sick until the same episode he was arrested. I guess it can be said that he feasibly got his girl on the outside to do some work for him, though.

I could see a serial killer's mistress try to attack Claudette.
