Im going to make this short, sweet, and simple. Did you want to know that this was the Final season of "The Shield"? My opinion: No. I was thinking about it, and I would be enjoying this season ALOT more if I had no clue it was the final season. And the ending, would be un-freaking-believable. Truly would be. Now, im kind of expecting the fate of Shane, Vic, Ronnie, and the rest of the barn. It kind of sucks, to be honest. Im sorry if I make anyone feel bummed if they start thinking like me. But I guess I just want to know if im the only crazy one out there who wishes he didnt know this was "The Final Act". I would post more but Im extremely tired and im going to bed!

I'm glad I know the end is coming. I've kind of viewed The Shield as a grand novel, and I always know when I'm running out of pages.

Agree with E here. Knowing the ending is near is a part of any great story (unless you're 2 and don't understand that mommy is on the last page of the bedtime book). Only time I can think of an ending being a "surprise" as far as "when" it will happen is if you're in a movie that you think will be two hours, and it's only 90 minutes.

you might feel that way, but wouldnt you feel worse if the season ended, and u ended up wanting more, then realizin it was the end?
I on the other hand appreciate it and enjoy it more because I know is the end, because I realize how how great a job they are doing,
I remeber when season 5 was coming, that first episode when Kavanaugh had Lem in the motel, I realized it was exacty like they said, the beginning of the end, and I loved the writing I expected season was gonna be the last, and I was psyched, is like you dont want it to end,
bu even as just a fan i feel proud that my favorite show, is going out on top form,

I would have wanted to know as a fan, but at the same time I would have liked not knowing all of the storylines would be explained and for the most part, over.
It's better to know I guess....

I want to know. Think how bad it would be if we were waiting around for a year, expecting the next season to find out it was not returning. I think there is no harm in knowing this is the last season.

It wouldn't matter if we "knew" beforehand or not, because at the end of 7:13 when Mackey is dead, we would know then anyway.

See, thats exactly what Im talking about with the above couple posts.
We know Vic is going to die or go to jail, and we know Shane is MOST LIKELY going to die or go to jail. Ronnie and the rest of the barn crew is still up in the air in my opinion. Just kind of sucks knowing the two main characters fates by Episode 13. I guess its just me :/

Unless you know something we all don't know, then no one "knows" that any of the above - mentioned things will happen. These are all just guesses and speculation. Your original question asked would we rather not know that this is the last season. But my answer to badcop's post was that if we didn't know beforehand, we would certainly know at end of 7:13 because something "big" would happen - thus negating his theory that we might wait a year without realizing we had already seen the last show. But at no point do I think any of us "know" what WILL happen in 7:13, even though we do know that it will be the last episode. Does any of that make any sense? I'm not even sure myself. But I'm too tired to re-write it

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read that as if it were from the theme song. My reply would be, yes I'd like to know. I like E's 'last pages' analogy.

Yes. It makes me a little more tense - how things might end, how it's all going to be wrapped up etc. I wouldn't feel that way about the season if I didn't know - I'd probably be angry that I suddenly find out that there's no more Shield episodes. But I like - 'E' was on the money: it's like a big novel and you wonder just how on god's earth it's going to end which makes you more tense and excited. I'll go with that
