oh. oh. oh. oh. oh.

I forgot how much I love The Shield. It is the only show that I watch with an underlying anxiety, all teh time. It's so fast and visceral and angry and unpredictable. I remember watching with Kavanaugh and being scared, and then with Lem, OH LEM. The show is just so alive. Which is an unfortunate line to put right after Lem, but even so.

And tonight. Oh Shane. He's so little and just react reacts reacts all the time. His whole life is just having to fix one thing after another and it's all for Vic and he's living on energy and fear and it's all for Vic and Vic's gonna kill him. Oh Don't let Vic kill him. He won't really will he? If he kills Shane it will destroy him, and there'll just be cold Ronnie left and.

And it makes me so sad that the Strike Team are so shattered and apart when it has always been about them and their love trust. Oh.

And tonight Shane hid behind a drinks machine and was small and fast and stupid.

And Dutch. Dutch is wrong. ALL the time I think he is evil and scary and so wrong. I remember his freaky cat strangling even if none of the writers appear to. He is scarier than Vic. And there's that zombie police cop woman person who is all so wrong and flirty with Dutch and I can see them being freaky serial killer lovers. I hope that Danny gets rid of her.

Ronnie did things too. He was actually present - and I love that they remember his scars. Well done The Shield for remembering his scars. He actually did things, and then looked deep into Vic's eyes. But even if he's the only one left Vic will never love him as much as he loves Shane. (And I'm not even being shippy, even though I could, very much, whenever you want. But Vic needs Shane and now he's gone...)

And he caries a photo - and even if he pretended it was to identify Shane,he was carrying it and looked at it, and he didn't rip it just folded it. It was a photo of The Strike Team as it was. It really is sad that it isn't.

The whole thing, the show has just been to tear them apart and now Vic has nothing left - just pety games over his badge and a family that don't trust him and no Lem or Shane.

And Shane's wife is being trouble again too.

And I haven't mentioned Claudette who was great and Aceveda who was Aceveda-ish



Oh I do love the Shield.

Oh! OH. It is a bit magnificent, isn't it?

it's all for Vic and he's living on energy and fear and it's all for Vic and Vic's gonna kill him

THIS IS THE VERY THING YES. It's almost unwatchable.

When Shane agreed to kill Vic that one time a few seasons ago and I was watching with my sister she got cramp because it was TOO EXCITING and she was shrieking at SHane and screaming becasue of cramp and it was the most hilarious thing and the truest reaction to the shield ever.

I hate that they got rid of Lem and Ronnie wants to leave and is broken and Vic made him kill someone and I can't believe how hopeless Shane is and how Vic just needs to make everything alright again but clearly can't and OH GOD I HOPE THEY ALL DIE. I honestly think that maybe them all dying would be slightly less painful than the idea of them trying to cope forever with their complete lack of cope. I love Ronnie's scars. And when he smiles at Lem. Not that that happens all that often and less now but OH GOD. OH GOD LEM OH GOD. I can't believe Shane. Or his wife. Or Vic.

I love Dutch. I think they very much decided that Dutch had just got over killing cats because they didn't have time to deal with that. I think it would have been quite a nice thing for them to deal with now that the strike team are shattered but maybe they should have given themselves a few more episodes.

Maybe Lem isn't really dead. I thought that quite often during this episode. Maybe he'll just turn up again and it will be OKAY. Maybe Vic will go crazy and make a fantasy world for himself where Lem and Shane are happy and beautiful and he can love them and look after them and it will end with Vic broken and institutionalised and living in his head with his strike team in a happy sunny world of laughter? MAYBE.

Oh I'd quite like that. The fantasy thing. Vic broken and weak and Shane could look after him, and Vic would look up every so often and see him and just quietly ask 'Is it ok?' and Shane would stand over him and tell him yes, yes, it's ok and he'd touch Vic gently on the shoulder when he really wants to cup his face and hold him. But he knows he can't so he'd just softly touch him and and tell him yes, and that Lem was just round the corner, then vic would go back into his head and they'd all be there together, and Lem would always be backlit by the sun, and they'd sit in their little room of happiness, and they'd just be laughing and talking.

If this cannot happen, then very much they should die. Because, well mainly it is inevitable. And Vic cannot do prison or loss. It does hurt muchly, and cramp is exactly the natural reaction.

How can you love Dutch? Even without the cat thing he is scary. Do you trust him? Or do you think he is untrustworthy but love him anyway? I could understand that. He is just.. wrong and scary.

Oh, no! I don't think Dutch is lovely lovely or sweet or that I would like to marry him or know him, I just love how well he's written and I love EVERY DIFFERENT WAY that Claudette looks at him, and I love that they could totally carry a show all their own and just be great, and I love that he's so weird and messed up and creepy. I love him. I don't trust him. I'M NOT MAD, LOLA, NOT CRAZY MAD.

He is very good that way. And Claudette is very Great.
