Best season?
>>216011890all
>>2160118904 or 5, whichever had Glenn Close. She should have stayed permanent captain after Ass Invader left for politics.
Season 5. The cat and mouse game between HE'S PISSING ALL OVER US and SWEET BUTTER PUSSY is enthralling and the tension is always white-hot. The ending though caps it off with an immense and devastating tragedy. Every single episode was 10/10. Season 4 comes close with the Antwon "Nigger with a Faggot Nigger son" Mitchell but not quite there as HE'S PISSING ALL OVER US is the secret sauce of why Season 5 is the best season.
>>216011890Season 4 for the writing.Season 5 for the entertainment.The last 5 episodes is the best streak of the show. There aren't any weak or bad seasons at all, impressive for a long-running series.
>>216011890Are the rumors true about David R. Aceveda?
>>216011997Of course not! That's an AI generated pic!
>>216011945>anti-hero going toe to toe with an experienced lawman that he has to constantly try to stay 1 step ahead ofIts a plot that just breeds kino.
>>216012015He was in a frisky mood. please understand. it was a sexual emergency for the oppressed Latinx.
>>216011945Everyone quotes PISSIN' but to me the YOU HAPPY? after Lem's Death is the definitive Kavanaugh scene for me.
>>216012266>definitive Kavanaugh scene for me.YOU
>>216012266Kavanaugh was a better friend to Lem than Vic ever was. It infuriated me how the bald fuck kept his photo on his desk as if Lem wouldn't murder him if he was alive in Mexico to find out what he did to Shane and Ronnie. Especially Ronnie. Vic deserved a bullet to his bald fat head.
that final episode will never be surpassed
>>216012327>...w-what?
I AM OVERCOOOOOOOOME
>>216012290>Kavanaugh was a better friend to Lem than Vic ever washe made a deal with anton to have him thrown in the same jail to be raped and murdered. vic arranged plans for lem to be free
>>216012375Them gunning for an Armenian mob for just 2 mil was stupid when they could've amassed that sum by just ripping off nigger gangs like Spook Street for some time.
"FAMILY MEETING!" Is one of the most chilling, heartbreaking line readings of all time. The show is a masterpiece.
>>216012381Forest for the trees. Vic's influence on him got him in that spot to begin with and as was established, Kavanaugh was bluffing and would've never put Lemanski in jail with Antwon. Now you could call bullshit but that's what the show established. That's what their entire storyline amounted to. A tragic acknowledgment that they would've been friends if not for Vic.
>>216012391probably not. they were getting heat from acaveda. he knew they killed the cop and were dirty. it would only be a matter of time. don't know about the show but in real life black street gangs don't seem to make much money at all
>>216012391Also seem like that pile of cash would be more than just 2 million
>>216012327>oh nooo for all my crimes i get a stable safe easy as shit sit around all day office job! the horror!fucking boomers i swear... this is on the level of boomer self pity of office space and fight club most coddled generation in history who literally had to make up "problems" and the worst they could come up with is having a easy stable job lol
>>216012053facts
>>216012407Everytime I think about Ronnie's arrest, I break into a cold sweat. No media has ever affected me that much. Was watching it with my brother and we were losing it especially because we hadn't watched the ending of the last episode and didn't know (somehow, we skipped over it when Vic ratted out Ronnie). Truly a masterpiece.
>>216012290>last scene with them together is just Kavanaugh visiting Lem to check if he's doing alright
>>216011890Silly, stupid, pop corn "drama".These hardcore cops can't even say the F-word lmao
>>216012425>Now you could call bullshit but that's what the show establishedthe show established Kavanaugh unraveling and becoming the thing he hated. that's why he made the deal after first turning it down. the dude faked evidence after all
>>216012441True but the show said it was 2 million all in all.>>216012433They make a lot of dough. You pool that together and you could get the Money Train sum. Nigger gangs are stupid and easy to rip off. Ripping on an Armenian syndicate, who obviously was trakced by Feds, was a huge and shortsighted move.
>>216012442Dude, he lost all his friends, his family, the only job he loved doing and his entire reputation was ruined forever.
>>216012473>t. sucked dick like a cell bitch>>216012475I think he would've halted it if it ever got to that. Kavanaugh was clearly in over his head and didn't have the heart to do that to Lem. He was a good guy going up against a demonic piece of filth and obviously "lost" but won in the grand scheme in that he only got a few years instead of being further ruined by Vic's influence.
>>216012499Plus, the show's implication is that Olivia will find a loophole to fuck him with but he has no other choice despite knowing this. It's not a happy ending. Plus, he has cartel on his ass and One-Niners gunning for him.I doubt Olivia would care to protect him from them.
>>216012499>Dude, he lost all his friends, his family, by his literal own actions as a criminal and he was rewarded for it with a literal office job give me a fucking break
>>216012476it's one lump sum vs a continual criminal business arrangement over years. you would always pick the cash train
>>216012516still, like, c'mon. you know his sensibilities. this is exactly the kind of job that'll never let him tune out what happened and what he did
>>216012516Nobody is defending Vic, are you retarded? Obviously he deserved it, that's why the ending is so good and other shows like BrBa or Mad Men didn't have the balls to make their protagonists face the consequences of their actions.
>>216012519True. To be fair, they got away with it even after the marked bills. They found them and removed them and still had tons of money left. Lem fucked it all up because he's a negative-IQ white trash retard.
Pretty fucked up when that 8 year old Mexican girl was raped by Armadillo or whatever his name was
>>216012500wasn't it also established that anton had connections all over? lem going to prison is death
>>216012500right. he botched the "becoming" and saved himself in the end
>>216012608That was a great moment. How they established the significance of the tattoo earlier and then dropped it on the viewer by the end. This show was something else.
>>216012608yeah that was super impressive for television, and then they topped that with SUCK ITplenty of edgy shows out there but this show was just hard
>>216011924Rawlings was a great character that was played be a great actress, it really did make that season special.
>>216012608Not even the most fucked up thing that happened in the show. For me is the chinese lesbian getting kidnapped by a man who forces her to have sex with other male minors.
>>216012642This is why it's better it was never on HBO. HBO has always been safe-edgy. They can say the heckin bad words but they would NEVER allow Shield to air that or SUCK IT or even SPOOK STREET REPRESENT. They are a huge paper tiger of a network.
>>216012651oh yeah. wasn't it one of her own family members too who set it up? gay hate is pretty fucked up IMO, though i know that doesn't fit 4chan sensibilities
>>216012651Lol, are you retarded? How is this more disturbing than a lively little girl getting raped so horribly that all the life is zapped out her eyes and she has a mark of her rape on her cheek forever? Are you some fucking idiot? Lesbianism isn't real anyway so this is even stupider.
Silly corny ass show, half of a police procedural, HBO laughed when they pitched this lmao then kicked them out in the rain
>>216012667>>216012651>yeah this is SO not heckin wholesome you guys>on a Shield thread>on /tv/is this some elaborate rib? must be some samefag. the why is a mystery.
>>216012667Yeah his brother gave her up. Forgot to mention that Armadillo is my favourite antagonist before Antwon shows up. Did you know that during pic rel the actor does burn his face irl? They had very low budget at the beginning.
>>216012651>kidnapped by a man who forces her to have sex with other male minors.I do not remember that episode but im guessing the reasoning was "they will fuck her straight"?
>>216012703>t. another raped bitch who sucked dick like a cell bitch>>216012730Armadillo was an amazing villain who was then wasted due to multiple factors (iirc, the actor leaving for another show and the writers wanting to hurry up to the money train). one of the few major blights on this excellent show.
>>216012736Yes, that's what it was. Funny thing is, "dykes" will just seek out dick anyway but then still keep the LARP because "it doesn't count". It was very much a throwaway plotline, like a dart to the board thing, and that anon saying it was more disturbing than a child being raped is fucking retarded.
>>216012754I didn't mind his conclusion, it was a nice way to show Lem and Shane's trust on Vic. However Danny should've been permanently fired, she returning in S3 like nothing happened was akward.
This is cool when you're 15 years old, maybe, then you grow up and watch the Wire. If you have a brain
>>216012787>>216012703>>216012473Get a job.
>>216012787Both are great shows in their own ways. Season 2 of The Wire and season 4 of The Shield are some of my favourites ever, stop fighting.
>>216012787>see this chessboard?>we're the pawnsYeah, real 200 IQ stuff
>>216012773Yeah its definitely not more disturbing than the little Mexican girl, isnt there also an episode where they raid a sex-club and its basically underage asians making adult movies?So they have to keep one of the asian girls at the station, or maybe the girls were just pretending to be underage i cant remember
>>216012786Obvious case of them writing her off because she wanted a role on some other show but that fell apart and they filled her back in because they didn't have any other POV characters to fill the runtime with.>>216012811I can understand if Sopranos or Breaking Bad Reddit fags have a problem with Shield but this Wirefag inciting flamewars shit is so embarrassing since both shows run during the same time and are two sides of the same coin.
>>216012811The shield is a mickey mouse hurrr durrrr mega retarded soap opera
>>216012375This montage was the best for me
>>216012824That wasn't as disturbing because they were being co-erced which is a world away from what happened to the Mexican girl. They knew the deal but still, they're minors and whatnot. I think the black serial killer who viewed his victims as things but cried when his sister died was far more disturbing than anything (sans the little girl) because of the acting and how he dehumanized the people he killed.
>>216012831BrBa is a plain ripoff of Shield. However I love Sopranos, and we might never had many of our favourite shows without it.
THE JANNY IS PISSING ALL OVER US
>>216012831>the wire and shield are both sides of the same coinLmao lol shield pencil dicks would hope they could achieve 1% of the wire's quality
>>216012869Man, when you put them side by side like that, it's truly astonishing what a horrible show BB is. The difference in how amazing, original and iconic Shield scenes are with the actors, lighting and writing to their cheap AMC copycats is just....damn. But I'm glad Shield is not popular with Zoomers because god forbid those fucks inflitrate SUCK IT threads.
>>216012902The shield and BrBa are both forgettable trash
Get a life, a job and stop fetishizing and console warring over shows you fucking loser.
>>216012865>black serial killerYeah the actor did a great job
>>216012954>that phase where Dutchboy tried burning coal out of desperation but got humiliatedLOL
>>216013008Wtf I just watched this episode last night.
>>216013008Billings fucking with Dutchboy was comedy gold.
>>216013212You have a low IQ
>>216013223If you didn't find Billings funny you lack soul.
>>216013238I never watched the show
>>216013212Him showing up later in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as a cop always got a giggle out of me
>>216012516>>216012442Just get an office job if you love them so much, wagie. Not exactly a high skill job and enjoy having a fucked up back from all the sitting and loss of sleep from staring at spreadsheet all day. Wouldn't you rather be doing else with your time?
>>216014003Him showing up as the actual billings only to be a mouthpiece for a shitty "muh adopted gangbanger son dindu nuffin" episode in SWAT really bothered me.
Hey /tv/ I'm gonna start The Shield thanks to your rec, it looks like you're having a lot of fun discussing it even if I'm not reading too much to not get spoiledlove you /tv/ have a good night
I don't think Vic is an anti-hero. He's a legitimate piece of shit.
What did Dutchboy mean by this?
>>216016142>Actually, I got a lot of pussy in college ahaha>[disgusted women.jpg]
It boggles my mind how literally every single last fucking issue post season 1 with Gilroy is on account of Shane and his dumb fuck wife being retards fucking up the crews shit. Thinking back, literally every last issue that made it go down the way it did was the fault of Shane. Money train fuck up, Lem being caught with a kilo, Antwon, Seriously, Vic not putting a bullet in that dumb rednecks head in season 4 and beating his cunt wife to death was Vic’s only mistake.
>>216012869>>216012932>holy shit both shows have murders, prostitutes and piles of money!lol retards
>>216016142He was just hungry. Hungry like a wolf.
>>216016271I'm sorry but how was Shane involved in Lem being caught with the heroin? Sure, he got the wrong place but that wasn't his fault, the guy who told him explained it in a really odd way. The whole idea of keeping the heroin was entirely Lem's, then Emolia catched him and Kavanaugh knew about it eventually. As much of a couple of fuck ups Shane and Mara were, I think that issue was mainly caused by Lem. Plus he burning a big part of the money was also a complication.
>>216016316>chicanery copies pissing scene>skyler is a worse version of corrine>wendy is a worse version of connie>hank assaulting jesse is literally copied from vic assaulting armadillo's scene>practically the same shot with the same meaning of uncertainty for the characters>saul is a cartoony version of becca>jesse killing gale has the same implications as shane killing lem>jane is a worse version of mara>walt giving jesse to the nazis is the same idea as vic sending ronnie to jail
