When you think about it he's perfect, he doesn't care either way as long as the job gets done, which is what I felt they would go with for the new capt And he's allready cast,... And i've loved the actor since due south

I absolutely agree with all of you who bet on Billings as the new captain. He's the "company yes-man jellyfish" the brass wants, no doubt about it.
It's not just that it seems awfully logical, because Billings definitely is the one who fits the profile - it's also because I don't think they will bring on TOO many new characters for the last season. Let's face it, S5 will be the last.
They're bringing on Forest Whittaker and Laura Harring as new important characters. Danny is pregnant, so she won't be out on the streets anymore (desk duty?) and Julian will be partnered up with someone new (I assume the transfer Rawling ordered is off the table now). Even with 21 episodes this season, there are SO many loose ends to tie up I just can't think of any more new players in the game.
And yes, making "car wash coward" Billings the new captain will make for interesting, all new dynamics in the Barn. It'll be great to see how Dutch reacts to it, how this will affect Vic and his boys... Billings is gonna be the man. I'm sure of it.

yeah, Arne, and they haven't added any new 'big' names to the cast even though they are filming right now (I think) so you'd sort of might suspect it's someone who is already part of the show - Billings as Captain has all kinds of interesting possibilities to be sure

I just cannot imagine Billings in such an important role. This is not only going to drive Dutch nuts, it's going to drive ME nuts! The real twist here is we go from a strong woman and big screen actress to a rat's ass boy and no name actor. I guess I just can't see Billings being chosen at all. Would the department really default to this guy or bring in someone from the outside? Who knows, it might work (in terms of storyline) but I am gonna hate it. Vic answering to Billings?? I need to have plenty of foil on hand to chew when the new season kicks off.

I don't think it will be a case of vic or dutch answering to billings, I doubt he will care what the barn peeps do as long as they are making arrests And he'd love a desk to hide behind! I love the actor *smoochies him*

I have to agree, I am willing to bet it will be billings. They need someone they can put in the job, and not have to show a story with every episode. They will have enough going on with everyone else. IAD, Dutch and Claudette, Danny's pregnancy, He is the perfect canidate. He is just there. YEP definetly Billings!

Hey folks, what do you think about new Captain Monica Rawling?! I think that she is too rigid than Aceveda!

I don't know guys, but my bet is still riding on another female captain. I still think someone like Tia Texana who played Sgt.Cruz on The Third Watch would be ideal. But I guess we'll have to wait and see. sorry to tell you claudette is the new captain. which you all know by now.
