 Re: The Shield: Final Act (Season 7) Discussion
 
 Yes he did and maybe you guys are right that i'm letting that season influence my opinion but I've watched about 85% of the wire, only missing one season and I still think the Shield is better.
 
 Also did you know Forest Whitaker put on about 100 pounds over the course of the season for that year to show how he was stressed and what not? Have you guys watched the most recent Shield on DVD that talks about the ep where Lem died and the lead up to it? It's pretty amazing. Him and the guy who plays Shane are method actors who have to really get into the role so no one can talk to them before they play their part.Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

 Re: The Shield: Final Act (Season 7) Discussion
 
 Odogg, I think you mean the reverse on Whitaker, he had lost weight for the role of The Shield. He was a rather heavy person before and he dropped a lot. I am glad that he did since its healthier for him.Yes he did and maybe you guys are right that i'm letting that season influence my opinion but I've watched about 85% of the wire, only missing one season and I still think the Shield is better.

 Re: The Shield: Final Act (Season 7) Discussion
 
 I like what they've done with the Billings character. It's amusing when he gives the "Billings minimum", but he's not just a ridiculous 2-D caricature. He actually tries when any real person would. I don't know if this is intentional, but it can be pretty funny when he does try.Comment

 You're so right. On any other show Billings would be so two dimensional and boring but on this show he actually appears human. A lazy, indifferent human but human nonetheless who at times can definitely have his reasons to care.I like what they've done with the Billings character.

 How's come in tonight's episode did Vic say to Shane "It's big picture time Matt" or was that just my closed captioning screwing up?Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

 Yup, there seemed something not right with her from the beginning.
 
 Does anyone feel like the pacing is a bit off this season from the previous 6? I don't know what it is and can't put my finger on it. After 4 episodes, the show just feels like things are out of place to me.Comment

 Yeah,a little bit. I got a feeling it's about to pick up though.Yup, there seemed something not right with her from the beginning.

 Re: The Shield: Final Act (Season 7) Discussion
 
 Pick up?? Does anyone think this season the show is off? I don't know what you guys are watching but IMO this season has been stellar and exceeded my sky-high expectations so far with all the roller coaster turns I didn't see coming and very complex skin-of-the-teeth maneuvering by Vic and Shane. Honestly this looks like it's heading toward a rip roaring finale!!!!Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

 Re: The Shield: Final Act (Season 7) Discussion
 
 Isn't Micheal Chiklis the director in a lot of the episodes? I'm just curious.Last edited by Eton Rifles; 09-28-2008, 08:59 PM.follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com/eton_riflesComment

 What felt out of place was Chiklis as a straight laced Sec. Of Defense in Eagle Eye. Still lovin' the show, but Shane needs to go by mid season.Yup, there seemed something not right with her from the beginning.
