Something I noticed in my recent Shield marathon:
In 4x10, Claudette urges Dutch to go into the interrogation room with Kleavon. "Get in there and close him," she says.
In 5x07, when Claudette feels like she can't go any further, feeling sick, unable to finish the interrogation of the seemingly unbreakable Kleavon, Dutch concludes his speech to her by saying, "Now you got in there... and you close him."
I noticed other cases of this... Anyone else have thoughts and examples of great thematic continuity? This series is rife with it.

The most recent one I can think of is Vic's Money Train Mantra.
From somewhere in the back half of Season 3, (after the seven grand disappeared). Vic to the Strike Team: "There are only 4 people in the world that know we took that money, and we're all sitting in this room."
and
From 7.01, "Coefficient of Drag." Vic to Shane: "There are only 4 people in the world who know we took that money. 3 are in this room, and you blew the fourth in half with a grenade."

Yes, good one there, Inside Straight. Vic said it once before the 7 grand went missing, too, back in 3x01 Playing Tight.
One I've always loved is Vic telling Dutch in 3x05 Mum, "He [Aceveda] fended off a couple of bad guys. Surprised he hasn't called for a press conference." In 3x10 What Power Is, Aceveda "closes things up" and has a victorious press conference at the very end, in the wake of his Korea-Town robbery intervention and heroics.

Oh and in my first post here it should say that Dutch says, "Now go in there," not "Now got in there..." Whoops.

Can't leave out the many times Dutch has said, "You gotta be shittin me." Has another character said that, or is it always Dutch?

Funny thing...between those of us that watch the show at my department and at the probation office when I was there, the line was a mainstay. It became so common between us that it didn't even register as a Dutch line anymore even though we all knew.

Shane in 4x02 Grave yelling at Antwon "You got that? YOU GOT THAT?" In 4x08 Cut Throat, after throwing the shot Halpern out of his car--"You got that? YOU GOT THAT?"
In 3x05 Mum Vic and Lem run out of the observation room just before Aceveda can catch them spying on him with the Treasury agent. In 5x08 Kavanaugh, Vic and Lem run away again but are caught by Kavanaugh, and Vic's little smug grin in Kavanaugh's direction sends him into Crazy Land.
I had a really good one last night as I was going to bed but I've forgotten it. I'll be sure to remember it soon, though!
