Sit back and relax
03.04.2003The latest episode of The Shield was pretty good, though not quite as "intense" as previous episodes. There's a reason for that; it was Day One - a prequel episode of our motley team's first day in action. Dutch starts out a chump, a wannabe superstar detective. Aceveda knows he's swimming in a pool of sharks and is very leery of Vic. But Vic and his team are, well, they're not tough.
The first shot we have of Vic and Shane, they're wearing nice blue detective suits. Mackey in a suit and tie? Begging to be allowed to lead a strike team? Kissing his wife? But he's pushed to get results. Fast. So, in the end, he decides to cut some corners. Just this once. And it was easy, too easy.
The best part about watching The Shield tonight? Hosting it at my own apartment w/ my brand new 24" TV. Oh, and watching Mackey drag a perp through a barbed wire fence.
