I still remember the first time I saw the first episode it aired around when I was in 7th or 8th grade and I was a big fan of cop and crime movies and TV. Went into I thinking it was just some amped up Pacific Blue type bullshit and was in shock when he executed him. What a great pilot

it always irked me that vic murders a cop in cold blood because he was a snitch, when there were like 50 ways to deal with that that were not capital murder
but then throughout the season he goes out of his way not to kill some random gangbangers or do any really "bad" things
as if he was growing more ethical over the years when i think it should have been the opposite

I don't think they fully understood Vic's character in the beginning. It is extreme for him to do that when you compare to how he acted later in the show.

Terry was supposed to die at the end of S1, they killed him in the pilot because they didn't know if they were gonna get picked up or not.

Fucking Ronnie over at the end, easy. Dude was the ultimate bro who stuck with him through everything including getting his face burned off, and was the only one to never fuck up and put the team in hot water. And he turns on him in the end because despite all Vic's "GIMME MUH KIDS" talk he threw Ronnie under the bus so that he wouldn't have sole custody and have to raise them himself.

Watched it recently and yeah the Terry thing nagged at me the entire time, since the more characters got fleshed out it was clear Vic would NEVER have done that. It would've been easy to just chalk it up to "Pilots gonna Pilot" which you have to do sometimes for shows, but they never distanced themselves from it and kept bringing it back up until the final episode

This is not a legitimate criticism. When people do bad things like murdering people, 99% of the time it's out of line with how they normally would act, but that doesn't matter, because they did do it and made that choice to cross that line.

My favorite thing about this show that no one talks about is how the dialogue can go from standard cheesy TV one-liners to the most realistic dialogue I've ever seen, and it still works. This scene is exactly how people actually argue in real life

I didn't say I was an alpha male did I? I am refuting that Vic is an alpha. He is a sleazy beta male with no values.

Alphas don't cry or break down time after time even during arguments with the friend. Only woman have such loud shouting matches and start crying in between.

His wife & the lady he cheated with and I think one more cunt he got after dumping the cop. Point being, alphas fuck a lot and don't get emotionally involved unlike Vic who clearly is a beta here and keeps fucking the same puss till the cunt gets tired of him.

Family? Yeah sure buddy. That's what all the manipulating sleazy betas say. I am sure you admire Walter White also for doing meth "for family". These guys project their own insecurity and fear in name of family or some reason. If Vic really was an alphas he'd be a ride or die guy for his bros and would have gone down to jail like a true warrior.

Alpha males are not some sleazy manipulating trash but are much simpler and more awesome. Ancient warriors who died fighting get their praises sung not stupid politicians of the court who lie and deceive.

I had already been spoiled on the ending of the show before I watched, the whole reason I wanted to watch it was because I saw scenes on youtube like this one, and the Shane/Vic argument in S6, the Ronnie arrest, and a couple others. I think it was better that way desu, seeing the way everything lead up to the ending
>>
>>201619555
That's not true at all, like not even remotely. It's not true for the low IQ low self-control apes who go ooga booga all the time and it's not true for the sociopaths who keep thinking about murdering all the time, act on it and almost always say they would do it again
>>
>>201618874
Its true he was a massive faggot his entire run on the show.
>>
>>201620162
No it's correct. When you do the worst thing you've ever done, you're at your lowest point, that's why it's the worst thing you've done. People are fallible and make mistakes and fuck ups because of their flaws. That's how life works.

Sucked the cock 100%. And so would everyone else, btw People are weak and fallible, they wouldn't act in the ways they view as ideologically righteous, they'd take the easy way out. And that's what I would do, because I am just as fallible as anyone else, I'm no better than anyone, and I would most likely just do whatever is most convenient to preserve my own personal sense of comfort.

I wish they didn't have any of the main characters' family drama shit. There is like three bitch wife characters at certain points of the show (Vic, Aceveda, Shane's wives) and they make season 1 breaking bad skylar look reasonable. It adds nothing to the show other than feeling like a very artificial stress factor, wives don't feel like real people at all, I've seen some faggots online defend those characters but I will never understand how or why
>>201622586
Previously on the shield theme is so good but goes to 10/10 to 0/10 when that faggy piano keys start playing, makes it sound like some cheap telenovella bullshit. I love when Lem announces PREVIOUSLY ON THE SHIELD for a couple of episodes before his death, he really makes it feel like he in some deep shit and the actor sells it really really well
>>
>>201615740
It’s important to remember that Vic is someone who is a master at compartmentalisation.

It wasn't supposed to go anywhere, he did it because he was frustrated that he couldn't help Cuddlerapist and didn't understand 'that thing' he talked about that made him do it. He wanted to see the light leave something's eyes to try to unlock that secret and maybe better understand the "killer's psyche" on a personal level but just immediately regretted it and realized what a horrible mistake he made, hence the adoption of the blind runt kitten at the end of the season.

Who took his Ding Dongs?
>>
>>201615740
It's because of Vic's hubris. He thought it would be easy to kill him and pin it on some gangbanger. He didn't realize the moral and mental ramifications that would have on him and the team. Most of the problems came from Vic trying to grab control over the pandora's box that he opened. It created this domino effect that ruined him all the way to the end. Every bad thing that happened can be traced to this one moment. Vic got so wrapped up in his ego thinking about how easy it was to break the law and get away with it.
>>
>>201615740
Yeah, it was weird. I couldn’t picture later season Vic having another cop killed, even if he was a snitch. Even Shane didn’t go on his kill list until he tried to kill him and Ronnie first.

His last scene is literally about how he's grown from a pussy who can't get laid to a guy with game. His last scene is clearly showing how he's grown. Of course it's not a crazy big change but that's the point. Just like life we only change very little over time.

I'm watching it now, on season 2. They're portrayed as victims of their circumstances more than anything. Omar is basically set up as a villain protagonist, but then they forgot to actually make him do anything bad in season 2, so they had to bring in the nigger with a library card for him to shoot once.
>>
>>201636082
The shield was full of stuff like that, because they wanted to keep it realistic. Julian goes from being gay, to being gay in denial, and there's no resolution, he just keeps living in denial happily and eventually it isn't brought up anymore.

I think the money train actually did more. Shooting Terry was bad, but only Shane was really sure Vick did it. And even then, well he was a snitch, he was gonna fuck the team over, he was a liar, so you could still kind of wiggle out of it. The money train was just objectively doing a crime for personal gain without even the veneer of law. And the whole team was forced to be in on it.
>>
>>201641000
I don’t have a moral problem with the money train robbery because it was literally just stealing money from criminals, but it was such a dumb fucking idea that was clearly more trouble than it was worth even before they did it
>>
>>201640923
Omar is the writers' pet but Stringer and Barksdale are morally grey at best, and the main gang boss in later seasons is a straight up sociopath.
>>
>>201640962
Anon the show is about a group of white criminals running around with badges showing you that the people who say they are there to help are just exploiting the poor and powerless too from the top down. Look deeper.
>>
>>201641156
So basically the zogbots and gangster shitheads deserve each other? I agree

>>201641093
>and the main gang boss in later seasons is a straight up sociopath.
The Greek or a guy I haven't met yet? The Greek is white, so that answers that. Otherwise, I'll have to take your word for it. But Stringer is going to college and it feels like both him and Barksdale are trying to play the game 'clean' so it's easy to see them as noble. Hell, they basically did nothing evil in season 2 other than Stringer ordering D killed. They framed the DOC cop, but he was an asshole and they tried reasoning with him first, and even then they just gave him a drug charge instead of shanking him or whatever. The blacks in The Wire are a million times less niggerish than The Shield.

To say nothing of the fact that they could've got a ton of mileage out of building up to Terry's demise (if they even killed him anyway) and that it in itself could've been a hge recurring plot point (trying to frame other people for it, etc.).

lol in reality a corrupt police squad that suspected it had been infiltrated would've just given the guy busywork and shit, or let him go point like Serpico and just let fate take its course

This is in reality a really poorly written show, but that's obscured by a great concept and great performances. The Nation of Islam episode and the drop weapon episode are the best examples of this. Just fucking nonsense but Americans are too stupid to concentrate beyond a one-minute raid scene scored by Kid Rock so they never grasp any of it, that and there were always B and C stories every episode to act as distractions.

There were quite a few things like that that got set up and I was like "god dammit I don't want to watch a season of this storyline" and then it was like the writers heard me and nipped it in the bud an episode later. The most notable I think was Kavanaugh planting evidence and having that CI lie - I was not looking forward to the rest of the season being the bullshit fallout from that. But then Kavanaugh was just like "okay you got me, I faked it all. I tried to be Mackey for 5 minutes and it destroyed me"
But I'd say the smartest decision by far was completely ignoring Julian's personal life after the 3rd or 4th season or whenever it happened. Dude's gayness and then struggling to have a baby plots were the worst part of the show
>>
>>201650216
I wouldn't have minded one or two more Julian episodes at the end to give him some closure or a finale, but I agree with you almost entirely, yeah.
>>
>>201650216
The Shield was written almost entirely on the fly, yet it managed to not only be good but have one of the best endings in TV. I think it worked because there were never any "myth arcs" or mystery boxes. It's just characters colliding with each other to increasingly catastrophic results.
>>
>>201613321
obviously killing Terry is the worst thing he did

>>201650216

When does shit get fucked past the point of them being able to fix it? I think everything gets out of hand really fast after Lem’s death
>>
>>201626225
My favourite scene by far is Claudette being five minutes too late to nail Mackey. She just watches through the glass as Vic confesses to everything, and storms out to have a panic attack. The last few seconds of the scene, she looks totally lost, it's really good acting.
>>
>>201614287
>that little shuck and jive before he gets pushed into the police car

>>201651532
The money train ruined everything. Split up the team, destroyed their friendship with Lem who was the moral compass of the team, and it brought tons of heat down on everyone.
>>
>>201651532
Lem getting killed is definitely the point of no return. It just opens up another can of worms. Shane stupidly thought the whole thing would go away with Lem. How he didn't think Vic would go on a rampage and cause even more problems just goes to show Shane wasn't much of a forward thinker.
>>
>>201651688
I hated her so much, but not because I am a chud (I am) or her niggerdom.

sure maybe the odd kid gets roped into a gang and shoots a shop clerk during a bad robbery and tumbles headfirst into moral dereliction but more likely it's going to be the shithead that's been robbing and assaulting people for years that will pull that trigger and for them it's just another smooth step down
>>
>>201651349
They clearly just wanted him to be a season villain, but since he wasn't a drug dealer, they couldn't just get him arrested or kill him off, so they had to come up with something quick because Forest Whitaker was too expensive for many more episodes.

What about the last scene? He constantly chases department tail with sofer and Hanlon but then ultimately scores a lawyer instead.

the entire point of the pilot was to immediately establish the main storyline that would carry the series. Dragging out Terry's death would have negated that. You'd get scene after scene of teasing Terry might die this time but oh no he's fine. That shit would have sucked the life out of the show and there's no chance it would have been as popular as it was.
