I've considered doing the same thing Inside Straight. If I don't watch it it won't end.... right? I need to watch it! I need to be able to put this to rest.... then start watching it all over again! But man, I need closure on the best ever tv show in the whole fuckking world. I need it to end!

Wow F*ckernando... wow! All I can say is that I completely understand and completely respect exactly where you're coming from. I've even considered not watching the finale as well, for a few different reasons similar to yours. As much as I have longed for tonight with extreme anticipation, I also look forward to this particular episode with mixed emotions. As you said, once tonight's episode is over, the Shield is over... forever. The best series in the history of television is about to end for good and I am having a hard time with that fact. I will never again get to enjoy that feeling of not being able to wait for the next one. As much as I love this show and as much as I've looked forward to this day, I also know that no amount of the Shield is ever enough for me. I've watched episode after episode on certain nights and always wanted more. Despite all that, I have to watch the finale because I've just been waiting for too long and I have to know how it ends. That said, I am and always will be a Victor Samuel Mackey enabler and no matter what he does and who he does it to, I want him to win; and I know that's just not going to happen. One thing I know for certain (because like many I can just feel it) is that Vic Mackey is going down tonight. That my friend will almost be a tougher pill to swallow than the series ending. In any event, good luck with your efforts and as you know, the Shield has and always will absolutely kick *ss!

I'm going to DVR "Family Meeting," but I'm not going to watch it. Once I watch, The Shield is over. If I don't watch, I'll always have that Final Episode to look forward to. The anticipation and joy of always having the Finale in my back pocket will outweigh the void that would be left if I do watch it. Some day in the future, I'll have a particularly disastrous day. I'll have the shitty day to end all shitty days. That's the day I'm going to watch "Family Meeting." When I need the ultimate pick-me-up. Until then, I'm cool, and The Shield will not have ended for me. Dude, I would go stark raving mad..... Wait to late......

I have debated the pros/cons of watching the last episode too. I have decided that it is necessary to watch before someone can spoil it for me. I must admit I don't think I am going to like the ending of the show at all and would really rather avoid it.
The Shield is my all-time favorite show by a mile but I think the ending is going to be lame. The 2nd to last episode did nothing for me. I would have preferred to see the Shield go on forever but that's not possible. Still, I can't but wonder if the original ending that was planned before the writers learned they were granted an extra season would have been better.
I wonder if we will ever be given the insight into how they originally planned to end the show?
