Bump.

I've always enjoyed The Shield but could never seem to catch it so I just bought the Season 1 box set. ($30!! :thumbsu: ) A truly awesome show.

Way too heavy for a decent timeslot on FTA.

Top episode last night!:thumbsu:

I always expected Aceveda to go over the edge and become a rapist, but it was good to see he didn't go all the way.I know it's a huge understatement but he definitely needs to see someone for post traumatic stress!

The better line was Vendrell rying to antagonise Antwon by saying his gay son was going to end up with a shiv in the back and ;) .

I still find it ironic they were debating shooting the drug dealing murdererer, but Vic didn't hesitate in killing the cop Aceveda planted in the strike team.
 
I've just looked up the episode guide for last nights episode and it mentions that it was a 90 minute episode [click here for the episode guide]

What the hell did ch10 do with 30 minutes of the episode ?

It mentions something about Acevada's daughter being in it.I don't recall seeing her.

I liked Vic's line when he refered to Antwon's son as a "Cum burper".
 
I've given up on Channel 10, I've decided to torrent it. I watched the first episode of the season today and it is incredible. Vic and his crew are being looked into by a guy that Aceveda is helping. The new Captain is a joke. And there's a war between blacks and mexicans.

Nearly done downloading the second episode, The Shield really is the best show that isn't on tv down here.
 
Episode two gets better. Tuesday night is Shield night in the USA and thursday night is Shield night on Shareaza. I've run out of data though and have to wait until midnight tonight before I can start to d/l the rest of ep3.
 
Finished watching the 2nd and 3rd episodes last night. Forest Whittaker is an incredible actor, he's doing his role to perfection. Great end to the 3rd episodes with Vic meeting him in the captains office and both acting like everythings cool. Can't wait for tomorrow and the next episode.

Where you getting the torrents for Season 5 from? I've finnished watching my series 1 & 2 boxsets and I'm trying to hunt down S3 & S4.

Channel 10 should be hung, drawn and quartered for their disrespect to the Shield. Hands down the best show on television.

www.torrentspy.com Torrent I used for the first episode was a podcast one, so it has to be watched in iTunes, it's good quality though. Next two are .avis and in full screen look top quality.
 
I've seen to the end of episode 5 of series 5. I thought that bringing in Glen Close was a masterstroke but Forest Whitaker is brilliant! Watching him and Vic staring each other down is great TV.

I watched the 5th episode last night, jesus christ I never saw that coming, with the Captain knowing what Vic was up to. I had a feeling they knew the room was bugged. That minute at the end where Kavanagh just lost it was incredible. Forrest Whittaker is incredible!
 
Any idea if this is coming back? I heard last year that it was cancelled in the states so I went and had a look on IMDB.com and it said it was currently (at the time) being held off while Michael Chiklis filmed Fantastic Four 2, so I was wondering if anyone knew what was going on with it?

And will it re-appear on Ten? It stopped airing on Southern Cross Tasmania, and when I got a set-top box I was able to watch it again I am hoping it comes back because I'm a big fan of the show.
 
It hasn't been cancelled.

Wikipedia said:
Season 6 will consist of ten episodes and was scheduled to begin filming in April 2006, for broadcast in March 2007. [3] Creator Shawn Ryan had stated this may be the last season [4], but on June 5, 2006 FX announced The Shield has been renewed for a seventh and final season.

Won't be back on Ten at all from what I've read.
 
as crosby stated, it hasn't been cancelled... the creative process of the shield is similar to The Sopranos in that it's such a high quality show that it takes a long time for a season to be produced. Each episode is a mini-movie really... That said I hope the show doesn't go beyond these last two seasons that have been already ordered, because it isn't the sort of cop show that can go on indefinitely. It's so intense, that if it were to keep going it would run out of steam. Even so, season 5 was imo the show's finest hour.

Forget about seeing it on Ch 10. The Shield is much too smart and gripping to suit 10's target demographic of idiot teenagers. You can buy seasons 3 and 4 on Amazon for peanuts these days, and season 5 should be available as well by Christmas.
 
Ah thanks, I only heard someone who claimed to know it all about the cancelling of TV shows and he added it to the list. I don't suppose any other network has shown any interest in it?

I really enjoyed watching it, if that's a case it's off to Amazon.
 
Yep, forget about Channel 10. They stopped showing it halfway through Season 4. Can't wait until it comes back, it has the potential to be better than Season 5 which IMO was the best season of a TV Show I've ever seen.
