Man, it's just awesome watching Vic juggle all those balls. And they keep throwing more balls in. And the balls keep flying away. And Vic keeps diving over and keeping them in the air.
So which one will he finally drop? :D
Man, I love this show!
Great episode...
Wish I didn't watch the previews for next weeks

A great episode !! How many eps are left ?
What I love most is I can't figure out, AT ALL, how this is going to end for almost any of them, such a nice change from predictable and formulaic (even if good) shows.
Ronnie has gone nuts and it's cool. It' fun to look back and see season 1 and how little Ronnie talked :)

So who do you guys think the last man standing will be? I would figure Vic but Ascevada the snake might outlast them all.

loved the episode as well. :up:
interesting to watch shane not fully engage in the pursuits as he watches his back as he wonders if he's being set up.
next week should be good...

Dani conceding at the end, with the beat down look in her eyes. Vic said "glad we came to an agreement" like he didn't beat her down til he got what he wanted. Then Dani packing to leave with Lee. Wow, that will really drive Vic crazy.

Except, of course, she DIDN'T really concede at the end. She was already packing when he arrived; she just told Vic what he wanted to hear to get rid of him.

So Vic wants to have another kid to visit him in jail or at his grave.

Maybe Vic goes looking for Dani and she shoots him. :D

When the series comes to an end, will Vic be alive or dead? What do you think?

I think alive, I think he's been show to be too much of a "good guy" (don't know how I can say that but it feels right :)) to die. Having said that I just can't see how it will end, no prediction ability at all. My only guess is that Dutch will be Vic's downfall.

He's going to wake up in bed next to Theresa Saldana and say "I just had this weird dream..."

I've been thinking that Dutch's obnoxious partner, with his newfound detectiving skills, will be the one to bring Vic down!

For some reason I see Vic and Shane dying while Ronny starts a new strike team with Julian and Aceveda coming out of it all clean.

If I were Vic, I would have quit the cop business a while ago and gone into the more lucrative private detective business.
Why can't Claudette just put Vic on administrative leave or desk duty or paid vacation etc, etc, etc instead of letting him work his final ten days?
Vic's juggling allright, but everything he touches turns to crap in some way or other. It can't be much fun juggling turds.
I can't see Vic living happily ever after. My vote goes for him getting whacked in the last episode.
I think alive, I think he's been show to be too much of a "good guy" (don't know how I can say that but it feels right :)) to die. Having said that I just can't see how it will end, no prediction ability at all. My only guess is that Dutch will be Vic's downfall.
I'm going with dead. I think the past two seasons have been about Vic doing everything he can to avoid facing the music for killing another cop in the Pilot. IMO, things will finally catch up with Vic he'll either be dead or in jail. For some reason, I just think dead is more likely.

More lucrative?!?
How often do private detectives get to shake down drug dealers, rob Armenian money trains, etc.?

Well they added tension, but this seems to be a rehash of earlier plotlines. Shane's out to get Vic again, Vic's job is in danger again, Claudette's illness again, etc. Yeah yeah, I know, in real life people face the same issues time and time again, but still... it feels like we've done this before. Speaking of doing things, I really thought Vic was going to end up taking off the too-loose shirt of that FBI agent.

How much of that does he still have? My guess is that being a private detective to the rich and famous pays pretty well.

I'm going to throw my shoe at the tv if a troll like Vic gets some of that goodness.

But the rich and famous aren't going to have anything to do with a goon like Vic.
They prefer more stylish and sophisticated-appearing goons.

Yeah, remember how crazy he got when Corrinne disappeared with the kids a few seasons ago?
I'd like to see the expression on the cleaning lady's face when she shows up at Claudette's for the first time. :eek:
Was the security (ex-cop) guy in previous episodes? I know Dutch spoke with Vic about their past history, and he looked familiar, but I can't remember if he was actually in an episode before.

It's just a matter of time.
Here's how I think The Shield will end. Vic, Shane, Ronnie and Aceveda are all sitting in a booth at a diner, eating onion rings. A strange man (possibly a member of the Latino/Armenian cartel) enters, a cheesy rock song starts playing, and... [cut to black].
