Paging Leopold, Snoota, Gydyon and Parcelan.

Predictions and Theories;

This season, count on a death. And not Tayvon. A more important character. I'm thinking Shane, Dutch or Claudette; possibly Aceveda.

Shane's wife (girlfriend?) is a junkie. Heroin, cocaine, pick your poison. I predict an overdose.

And for the unspoilerized spoiler; Ronnie is going to kick a whole lot of ass. Now, let us all prepare for tonight's episode. :v:

Fuck, I totally missed last week's episode, jeez.

I predict Shane. He's walking a slippery slope...but Dutch is a good candidate, too.

Last night's episode I found really disturbing. As to who will die, I thought for SURE the captain was going to last night.. But I guess that would ruin the friction they have going on there.... I wonder when the cell phone photo will be discovered.

Was that the episode that he was forced to go down on the other guy at gunpoint? I know ya'll are a season behind.

Yeah, that's a while old.

Anthony Anderson (Antwone) is the best thing to happen to The Shield since Armadillo; unless Glenn Close really steps up with the seizure plan soon and makes some friends and enemies.

Also, what the hell's with the writing for Ronnie? Did he have a single fucking line this episode?

Shane's doomed.

I think Shane's either going to bite it at the end of the season or his wife is going to die.

Antwone is great, too. The seasons with a central badguy are the best.

I don't see Claudette or Dutch going down; they're too central to the show. Despite being more central to the story, the strike team (other than Vic) is still expendable; Claudette and Dutch are the grounding force. Killing them would wound the show.

I'm sticking to my guns; Shane's going to get in too deep and Vic's going to end up either not helping, or helping too late and only making things worse, most likely by going further after Antwon's family; in turn, Antwon's going to have Shane's baby offed, either on purpose or inadvertantly while attempting to take out his wife. Shane goes off the deep end and goes after Antwon. I see it ending one of two ways; one, Shane ends up going to prison, which would put him on the backburner for a possible return at some other point, two, Shane dies, either by Antwon's hand or by Vic's, his having reasoned that if Shane goes down with his family destroyed, he'll spill the money train.

Either way, this season is building to something big, and I think it's about to start.

And Ronnie. Ah, yes, the forgotten son, Ronnie Gardocki. A word about Ronnie: Dave Snell, the actor who embodies Ronnie, is best friends with our Maestro (Shawn Ryan). He agreed to help Shawn out and essentially work as an extra on the pilot. When the series got picked up, Dave came along. Unfortunately there are only so many characters you can service with story, so because Ronnie was never conceived as a series regular, he's often relegated to off-camera footwork. I would like to personally commend Dave Snell of a thankless job well done. He has given Ronnie - with no help from our writing - dimension and personality. This season he is the rock of the strike team. The only constant in an ever- changing, often dangerous, environment. Kudos, Dave Snell, you're "on it".

AW HELL YEAH

Yeah, that would be the one. My dad laughed through it.

The brutality is still edgy, but not overt, like in Season 3.

I cringed during their apprehension of the rapist.
