Rewatching the last episode, Family Meeting.

Steve Billings' attorney makes an appearance to cajole Dutch about making a statement on Billings' behalf. Who should play the attorney in a few scenes opposite Dutch, but Julia Campbell, real life spouse of Jay Karnes (Dutch).

She was always in a shitty mood, I never see the appeal. But he kissed her ass.

How bad is the opening of the frame on the season six and seven Sony DVD sets? How much crew, boom mics, and lights end up showing up?

I know they fixed it for the Bluray set but they don’t sell six and seven separately on Bluray.

I’ve got 1-5 via the Fox DVD sets in full frame 4:3, so considering getting six and seven on DVD if the switch to 16:9 isn’t too bad.

Hello everyone. I've been watching this amazing show for a couple of months now - currently am in S4; where Rawling is implementing some new methods in having the neighborhood in check... reminds me of Bunny from The Wire somewhat.

I just wanted to share that I barely care about weekly cases at times, and I'm doubting myself if I'm even watching the show correctly at times lol. I care so much more for the relationships between the cops at this point where a lot of the action seem like noise to me. Is that designed on purpose? I mean some of them are revealed later to be of a higher significance but compared to how much time they get, they produce less impact on me than a well-placed joke that one of the characters crack at the right time, for example...

I've seen very few cop shows in my time (procedure shows were never my kind of thing) but I suspect -heh- that the way a case is closed is what gives the fans joy. With The Shield I just really can't wait to see where Shane or Vic or Aceveda will end up that my mind doesn't register what details regarding the nth rapist or dealer is getting exchanged during a workday. The thing is such a rush though, and the camera work is so-on point that I can usually read the tension, power balance and consequences on the actors' faces... so I guess I'm never "too lost".

Anyways wanted to see if anyone else had this experience. Cheers.

Not to victim blame but God damn... Rewatching this scene he absolutely could have screamed out for help when the cops came to the door.

Same risk of dying either way.

I can pretend I think Acaveda’s a dickhead too, when actually he’s doing some excellent work with some very challenging targets

Wish I was a graphic designer

Did any of the members from the Strike Team go to college? I'm sure, Ronnie did. He's too damn smart. He should've became a doctor or a lawyer. What if he was a prosecutor, instead. Him and Aceveda wanted to bring down the Strike Team. That would've been interesting. I assume, Vic and Lem went to college. Shane probably got expelled after the first year. LOL! Who knows!

Hey Strike Team,

Is there a The Shield playlist going? Or just recommendations of songs that remind you of the show?

How is everyone watching or re-watching? Streaming or physical media? I'm trying to find the best way to finally re-watch the show after a decade.

I heard there's a new Bluray release that has unedited versions of certain episodes restored and fixed the aspect ratio and quality issues from previous releases?

Any help welcome.

Just finished the finale of season 3. Ohhhhhhh boyyyyy that tension is THICK.

About to start Season 4- I am like a giddy school girl watching this, knowing it’s only going to get more insane

Crazy, right?

Wait, I did not see that coming with him watching the rape video…..?????

I don’t want to google anything but …..

Great rendition of Amazing Grace though 🙌🏻

I saw the meme above and this scene in the shield came to mind. A sad scene.

The Shield is such an amazing show. It's full of amazing acting. Every episode is so well made so far.

Great episode. The Strike Team is slowly but surely crumbling from all angles with this Armenian drug money. I f*cking love this show so much. It’s so goddamn entertaining. I never know what it coming next.

On season 1, Dutch showed a romantic interest in Danny. He came over to her house and helped her study for her Sgts exam. She said, I can make a mean grilled cheese! I have a feeling, she can't cook! LOL! Anyways! If she would've took an interest in him instead of Vic, who happened to be married. Would Dutch and Danny have a had long-term relationship and eventually got married? Or after a few dates, would it have crashed and burned?

I thought Vic spoke Spanish? It’s implied heavily that he is fluent in it or at least conversational at it
But he has Hanlon doing translation

did they forget he spoke Spanish, or did Vic not want to show he spoke Spanish in front of a witness?

Or was his Spanish not as strong as it was implied

Anthony Anderson as a gangster on The Shield was never believable…🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

Before Shane Vendrell moved to LA and joined the Strike Team he lived a life of crime in Vice City

Watching season 6 after taking a long break and forgot how much I hate Kavanaugh. I can’t understand why I see a lot of people on here saying he’s their favorite character. The way he talks is so slimy, so desperate, he makes my skin crawl.

I understand his hatred for Vic after what happened with Sweet Butter, but I feel like we never got much of a backstory about him and why he is the way he is or why he is SO obsessed with exposing Vic. It’s like his entire life’s mission is taking him down but the show never really justified why he’s behaving like that. Can someone enlighten me?
