This is opinion board too right? why is it some are mocking our opinions? I think that's grade school stuff. I came here to have fun about the show not have people gloat over their rightness or put down others opinions.

For those who question how Pezuela could obtain the photograph even as it appeared Juan appeared aloof about putting it onto disk can rest assured that Juan had NOTHING to do with Pezuela getting the pic. Remember, it was RICKY's phone; not Juan's. Ricky most likely knew Pezuela somehow; his means of obtaining the info/pic from Ricky was probably done without Juan's knowledge. How the incident was brought to Pezuela's attention through Ricky, well, I imagine they'll explain it somehow. That's my theory, anyway.
You're right. Juan's reaction in What Power Is was total loss of what to say; to him, he believed the picture was really gone.

this ep gets an A from me if only for the shoutout we got: Shane to Vic: I'll make sure and come see you when you're working that security job in Northridge maybe it's because of that Cal State Northridge shirt I wore when we visited the set, ha ha Ha, I forgot to mention the Northridge reference, jwc ... I immediately thought of you, ha! Sarah: Yes, there was some gloating, but it was good-natured. And I didn't see anyone putting down the opinions of others. We have a strict anti-flaming policy and I didn't see anything that comes close to that.

I never thought Billings would get soooooooo medieval about his vending machines. His scheme touches not only Dutch but Hiatt, Danny and Tina. I thought it was rather deplorable on his behalf...but since he is a weak character to begin with, it makes sense that he would get his revenge in a way like this rather than a more confrontational or physical sense.
More episode thoughts later...

I think the whole Pezuela thing is just Gilroy to the tenth power. Pezuela is a Mexican mobster and that 230 grand was meant to fund Aceveda's redistricting (with a little kickback for Pezuela). Anyone notice that Pezuela has given Aceveda 200 grand so far? He's probably picked Aceveda as the horse to ride into beefing up his property investments, just like Gilroy and his girlfriend were going to do (but I think Pezuela may really be a force to reckon with and I think he's got the mob behind him).
As for Claudette and the Barn...does everyone have amnesia, or can a cop, dirty or otherwise, be killed and no one work his case officially?? That's really chapping my a**...Dutch going back into the rotation and no one mentioning Lem's open case. Wouldn't a police department want to find out what happened to one of their own?
I think Ronnie might be the one to do Shane...if the right opportunity presents itself. And I think Vic will sit on the pic until he figures out exactly what's going on with Aceveda and Pezuela. He'll keep it as his last trump card. After all, if he can save his job without using it, more power to him.
Personally, I thing the Shane/Armenian story line is just Antwon all over again. I wish the writers would have come up with something a little more original, but I appreciate the beauty of the circles the whole series tends to travel in.
Best line of the series so far:
Ronnie: "If you want a buddy to chat up, go find one."
Beautiful!

Oh, and how come I can't vote in the poll? Waaaaaaaaaaaah! Maybe your browser. see this post: theshieldrap.proboards45.com/TipSheet/PollsAlso mentioned there is the search feature. The search, like voting, does NOT work with Firefox, a popular browser that is my first choice, as well. For your question I tried "can't vote in polls" and searched the "tip sheet" and "grand jury" boards. Came up with zilch. Then I tried "voting in polls" and came up with two hits, including the post linked above. Consider this a friendly reminder that the search feature is good--IF you are willing to use Gates' monstrosity. [edit: the link is obviously too long to click on => cut and paste it into the url window][edit2: fixed link. -E]

I figured the BJ pic story was over when Aceveda got Antwon to have Juan killed. I am curious as to how they are going to explain how Aceveda's new master got it.

I gave it a B, although now that I think about it, I should've gave it an A.
I can't wait to see the look on Assinvader's face when Vic Brings out the BJ pic "Oh by the way, I got this picture here from someone. Kinda looks like you, no? Now about my retirement...."
What's to say about the Shane shitpile that hasn't already been said? Only I think this time around, Shane/Antwon v. 2 will end up baaaaaad for hillbilly boy...
Dutchman........Gotta feel for the guy and I too think that he'll snap at one point, maybe not kill everyone but he's defenitely going to go off.
Hiatt......I was digging him man until he decided to not play Vic's way and screwed the thing up in the van.
Billings imho, was being like a little bitch and childish.
And Claudette was just a bit TOO smug when she was talking to Vic. How could she go from "I don't judge other cops" in S1 to the way she is now just amazes me.
I'll probably think of some more once the Vicodin wears off....

In S1 she was just a detective...now it is part of her job to judge other cops...apples to oranges comparison... I'm not a fan of Claudette, but I can definately see how she would think that her job would be easier without Vic in some ways...

I can't stop thinking about Evil Developer, Mr. Cruz Pasalalalalalaaaala. What the hell is he up to? Claudette has pissed me off beyond pissedoffedness this season; I can't even think of proper words to describe it. GRRRRRR!!! ARG! Blblblplpltpththtththt!! Billings is a little bitch and I hope Dutch ruins him over the Quick Mealers ASAP. Or just beats him over the head with a ball bat - HOW'S YOUR HEADACHE NOW, BITCH?! Hiatt and Tina - are they going to be a couple now, or what? After his comment, "I don't make a habit of banging chicks who know where to find me in the morning," I have to wonder about what will happen. Tina knows where to find him - will he "date" her now, or just bang her now and then, or blow her off like nothing ever happened? Will he try to bang Danny next?? Is he a manwhore?? I just loved this episode - can't wait for next week!

Brilliantly developed ending. Very good link back to the third season and very smart manipulation by Billings although a little too unreal. As for Shane's utter screwup, he seems like he's got himself and the Strike Team into more trouble. And surely he's going to pay for it.
A for me. This was one of the better episodes.

i want to see tina's butt as much as the next guy. but come on. there's no way a girl like tina would EVER forget her cell phone. let's get real here. Now THAT was funny ;D I gave an A-. It was headed for a strong B until a solid finish. I understand playing on the Dutch/Billings pairing but Billings' 5th grade crap just annoyed the hell out of me. They could have still pushed that story without going that route. I knew that as long as there would be a S7 that Vic would have a job. He stepped up yet another notch this week. Claudette's gonna be pissed when he stays on and she has to put up with him even longer and I'm perfectly fine with that. CCH Pounder is doing a great job of playing a total bitch (and for the record, that is not a knock on her acting but rather a compliment). Shane was headed down fast , really kicked it in gear when he got in with the Armenians, and finally realizes what he's done. Soon as she stated she was going to whack Vic, you could see the "Oh shit I've seriously F'd up now." look in Shane's eyes. I'm ok with the BJ pic coming back. Gives Vic an opening, some leverage and opens a whole different talk show on this snake in the grass, Cruz. I have a feeling he's gong to wind up being behind some really rotten shit.

Gives Vic an opening, some leverage and opens a whole different talk show on this snake in the grass, Cruz. I have a feeling he's gong to wind up being behind some really rotten shit. Shootfirst, I couldn't agree with you more: Billings' crap was so 5th grade; Claudette thinking she's got balls all of a sudden; and the photo. I don't understand all the talk about how they better come up with a plausible explanation for how Cruz got his hands on the photo. Huh? This is the internet / camera phone, high tech age, people. Even back when that ep aired. Download, save, send, save, store. You think the gangbangers are so dumb that that shit is beyond them? Plus, the dude is connected. I have no problem with that storyline at all. But my favorite part of your comments was saying as long as there is a season 7, you knew Vic would be back. Ha ha, obvious, but no one else pointed it out! It's like watching any other TV show that relies on one main character in an action / danger role--you know no matter what, he or she's gonna come through in the end or there's no more show! Hiatt and Tina - are they going to be a couple now, or what? After his comment, "I don't make a habit of banging chicks who know where to find me in the morning," I have to wonder about what will happen. Tina knows where to find him - will he "date" her now, or just bang her now and then, or blow her off like nothing ever happened? I'll give you steep odds that Hiatt will blow it off like nothing happened. He saw that lean and hungry look in Tina's eye and recognized it as an easy piece "slam, bam, thank you ma'am" event. Plus, after his line (which has line-of-the-year potential), is there any doubt how he feels? Who knows, maybe Tina will feel the same way.

The thing I'm looking forward to most next week is how Vic is going to tell Asceveda about the picture. I'm sure he'll probably hint about it at first just to see Asceveda's reaction, and eventually show him the picture. That confrontation has been three years in the making. Loved the episode. A in my book.

In the chat room Tuesday night we were talking about the sex scene between Tina and Hiatt. Badcop said "nice ass!" and I replied, jokingly, I wonder if they used a double for Tina? Last night while re-watching the ep I noticed "Tina's body double" listed in the credits at the end, heh.
