After all seems lost, Vic is handed the leverage to save his carreer from an unexpected source. Tina and Hiatt see each other in a whole new light." From TVGuide.com: "As the Strike Team makes progress with the San Marcos murders, Vic gets bad news about his job prospects---then finds an ally he didn't expect. Meanwhile, Shane and Diro (Franka Potente) become business partners as she prepares to take over the Armenian mob; and Billings meddles in Tina and Hiatt's love lives."

Where to begin!
1) THE PHOTO OF ACEVADA IS OUT! Oh my God, Vic's grin was priceless. 2) Shane has to die... the I like the actor and character, but the character is such a wreck of a human it's sad. The dude has no idea what he's doing! 3) Haha... I love Billings... the dude is such an a**hole! I was laughing and crying when Dutch was looking in the window.. 4) I like Hiatt, the actor did a good job of showing how he was in over his head and recognizing that Vic saved him. 5) The finale better be amazing...
I may post more as it comes to me but wow... i love this show

Good show tonight except that the station started acting up, screen going black and sound breaking up, got no audio for the season finale clips. Can not believe what Shane told the mob dame about the money train. He is more out of control now than when he was Antwon's bitch. Billings really gave it to Dutch, poor guy, every squad has one though, remember what Gannon said. The pic of Aceveda is out. Let's see how this one gets spun. I think that by the end of the series, no one will be spared. Got to love The Shield.

Next weeks episode is gonna be a great one. Billings had a few great lines tonight. I enjoyed the way Billings set up Dutch so he would catch Tina and Hiatt going at it. The look on Dutch's face reminded me of the time he drove by Danny's place and so her and Vic in a lip lock. That hillbillie Shane deserves to die after revealing that Vic hit the money train and then Shane saying he wasn't involved at all. I gave this episode an A. Accevadas buddy is one dirty S.O.B. but the look on Vics face when he saw the picture. Priceless!!! I guess Accevada will be in Vics corner when he has his hearing. As soon as The Riches is over I have to watch this episode again.

That hillbillie Shane deserves to die after revealing that Vic hit the money train Judging from next week's preview and Vic's family getting caught up in this.... Shane is going to get a lot worse than death. I hope he get 10x worse than what Guardo got. And did I mention... TINA!!!!!

I was just checking out the TV listings for next week and saw that The Shield is scheduled for 1 hour and 35 minutes. I wonder how many takes were needed with Tina sitting on Hiatts lap. If it was me in Hiatts place I would have screwed up on purpose just to enjoy the ride. LMAO

A-fukkin-PLUS! I liked how they brought the BJ pic back... I'll have my crow roasted please. What the hell is this developer dude into?? Is he responsible for San Marcos??? How did he get this picture?! Wow.... Sarah and Liz might earn a bit of forgiveness for The New Guy after this ep. Thanks for keeping the girls on track, Adam!

yeah how many people got scared when corinne showed up on screen knowing that fain and craft were behind this episode?
luckily for us, she didn't have any more dreams about a vegetarian, levitating Lem.

I'd have to break the trend and give out another B+. It was a great setup episode but it left a bit of a plot hole as to how Cruz got that pic in the first place. However, that's why we have one more episode this season to find out.
Shane is going back to his reckless, cowardly ways. That was real callous (but not shocking) of him to hiding any part of his involvement in the money train and the fact that he just let it slip to get back at Vic was real idiotic of him. Oh well just another Vendrell shitpile special as Ronnie was state it beautifully.
Dutch and Billing were cause and effect this week but at least his crush on Tina is now gone. Hiatt is a dope for even trying it in the first place but at least we ladies got some skin from it too.
I will say this though...Shane is going to be wetting his pants if/when Vic get his job back. It's not like he's got enough on his plate all ready. Can't help but dig the hole deeper.
Good episode all around.

Good show tonight except that the station started acting up, screen going black and sound breaking up, Glad I'm not the only one. I'm glad it wasn't untill the end, and when I went to another TV it was fixed. I was going to say that Vic giving Aceveda the tape that had Aceveda kicking the suspect is one of the dumbest things he has done, but now that the picture is back that doesn't matter. It's been said a 1000 times already, but Shane is just plain stupid. His situation is going the same way as in S4 w/ Antwon. Vic knows what is going on and all Shane says is "Don't worry about him, I can control him" We almost had a classic ST moment. Slamming the guys stereo and threatening to give him to his rivals. Hell Julien was even getting physical was one of them. Then Hiatt ruins it. Billing's non-sense was some high school gossip shit untill the last part. Dutch was so happy with his bottle of wine. Only to be shit on once again. There's an series ending scenario-Dutch loosing it and killing everyone but Claudette. I want a Billings and Dutch round 2 fight.

Okay great episode. I got some points though.
First off, when is everyone going to stop shitting on Dutch? Tina would have been the girl he deserved. Billings is going to get his ass kicked, and I doubt Dutch is going to be a decent mentor anymore. Billings deserves it. I think Billings is going to deserve what he is going ot get more than Vic. I don't blame Hiatt though, but this is going to come down on his head later on. I expected that to happen to Dutch.
So the picture is in Vic's hands. For me, this is the point where Vic stops being sympathetic. I know Vic, he is the kind of guy who will use it to save his job. But this is too much. If Vic doesn't use it, he has a chance at redemption. If he does, the next season is going to end with him behind bars, and not for the reason we expect.
I like Shane's actions and I think everyone is missing something. He has finally crossed the line and turned into Vic. Remember, the series started when Vic put a bullet into Terry's head/killed a strike team member. From that point on, Vic has been more lucky than good. Shane has stepped into Vic's shoes, riught down to the motions. His marrage is ont eh way out, he's killed a Strike Team member, and now he has Armenian mob troubles. All he needs to do is have someone get caught with drugs again, and he is dead.
I will make my prediction here: Before this series ends, Vic is going to kill Shane, get caught behind bars (more than likely he is going to turn himself in), and Ronnie is going to walk away scott free. Vic will make sure of it. Hiatt will be on the Path of Mackey, justy like Shane is.
The only one I don't know about is Dutch, but next season, he is going to snap in some way. I guarentee it.

I always thought he must have made a copy of the tape (just in case) but I guess he would have used it to his advantage by now....

All he needs to do is have someone get caught with drugs again, and he is dead. I'd half to disagree. We have the luxury of it being a TV show so we knew that Terry was trying to bring down Vic there for we're ok with it. And we also know that Lem did NOT turn on the rest of them therefor Shane is the Anti-Christ in everyones mind(for the most part) A bit of a diffrence. Vic knew, Shane didn't. Vic has been lucky, but also very good at the same time. Shane has been lucky that Vic was good in past seasons(ie keeping his ass out of jail w/ Antwon, Tavon etc..) I don't think Shane is loosing his marriage...yet. He handled Mose's sloppy seconds situation with Mara, and if anything telling her he killed Lem helped him in that sense. Vic did do things for cash, but also at the same time really wanted the streets to be safe where as Shane as far as I can tell does it out of greed. Back to "Recoil"....I havn't had a problem with Hiatt since he came in, but now that I know he likes his Jack neat I like alot. I am kinda confused about Dutch's case. Did the guy do it or not? Did he get him to confess at the end or was the guy smart enough to know that if theyare trying to get you to confess that they don't have shit on you? I gave it an A for the record.
