the new EW (12/5) has this neat little summation in "The Ausieelo Files"
"As amazing as The Shield,s shocking series finale was last week, it left us wanting some answers. Luckily, series creator Shawn Ryan gave us a little postmortem.
Q: Why didn't Julien come out of the closet in the finale? A: In the timeline of our story - the entire run of The Shield takes place over about three years - it felt like he would still be in denial
Q: Did you want us to think Dutch might have killed Rita? A: I never felt like Dutch was that far off the deep end. But we joked about how, in the finale, Dutch would come home and unlock some padlock on a door leading to a basement and there would be a bunch of kids chained to the wall.
Q: I understand Shane committing suicide, but did he have to take wife Mara and son Jackson with him? A: To us, it made sense. It wasn't fun to write. But in terms of the overall arc of the show, it felt like the place it should go.
Q: At the end, Vic left his desk job with his gun. Where was he racing off to? A: We've always viewed Vic as a shark. He's someone who, in order to survive, has to move forward. Is he going to search for his kids? Is he going to pursue his own sort of police work on his own time? Is he going to do something postal? I don't know. But I do think the shark swims forward.
