With Glen Mazzara leaving The Shield and Scott Brazil's death, I guess I can accept the idea all the more that the back ten will be the end of the series. Well, we should know soon enough.
I had a vision today... this would be a brutal but cool ending. Shane and Vic shoot it out, only Shane beats Vic to the draw. Vic lies on the pavement--breathing his last and bleeding out. Shane cannot accept what he's done--first to Lem and now to Vic--so he eats his gun.
Ok, gruesome and way over the top but that's the kind of ending I want. Definitive, tragic. Let's just finish it once and for all! I cannot see an ending that makes us wonder forever what ultimately happens to Vic and Shane. An ending like that would piss me off even more than Lem being murdered.

After Shane murdered Lem in the finale, I was really hoping we'd see Vic kill Shane before it was all over. However, I'm not convinced it has to play out that way in order to satisfy our collective bloodlust -- or specifically our desire to see Shane's blood spilled in copious amounts. ;^)>
What if Vic just beat the holy living f*ck out of him, flattened his nose, knocked out some teeth and put him in ICU to eat through a straw for a month or so? Draw your own conclusions from there. It could happen while they're both still cops -- or when they're both locked up (assuming that's the way it goes). Maybe Vic beats Shane into a coma and gets sent up for manslaughter.
I also predict that Tina is going to screw up yet again and get one of her fellow cops killed. So don't rule that out as a possibility -- much less who it is that ends up dead or on the "permanently disabled" list as a result.
Whatever happens, I don't think I want to see a bunch of the main characters end up in a literal Mexican stand off and blow each other away.
If this is it, hopefully Ryan and co. will stretch it out longer than 10 episodes (if needed) in order to give The Shield the send-off it deserves. One thing is for sure, if these next ten are to be the last, the story is definitely going to advance quickly.

Im going to half to disagree with that. Shane MUST go, and I wont be happy if if anyone other than Vic is the one to do it. That is the way it must end. The way I want to see it end now is Vic waste shane and then drop to his knees and start balling like a baby like the end of season 1.

I find a huge issue with killing Shane. First off Vic is closer with Shane than any other member of the ST, Hell Vic could not even kill Gilroy after screwing him over. I just think Vic is too much of a softy to kill Shane himself. Shane is like his brother, I just don't see it happening.

One thing I know I want to see is Aceveda get pimped out. That slimy bastard! The pic of him sucking gap tooths dick must be made public, and I would not object to assinvader getting killed!

These last 10 eps are it...
Assinvader will have to deal with the pic, but politically, he'll make it out alive. Vic will have to take responsibility for Shane doing what he did, and I think he'll make Shane pay in some way. Vic will take ultimate responsibility for Lem dying - he won't eat a bullet, but he'll make sure he goes down in the line of duty. Does the family of a slain cop get compensation??? He'll make sure Corrine and the kids are taken care of. OR, Vic will find the courage to do to Shane what has to be done. Besides, without Vic, how can possibly Shane stay of of jail?

Vic will scare the shit out of Shane I think and Shane will eventually take his own life. As for how the rest of it will go down, hard to say. I don't see Vic or Ronnie in trouble when it's all said and done.

I think the idea that Vic is going to somehow get away with everything in the end to be kind of absurd and completely contrary to what seems to be the direction Shawn Ryan has said he wants to take the show. Ryan has repeatedly said that he thinks of this show as classic tragedy. Vic's downfall simply must come in the end, whatever the nature of that downfall will be remains to be seen. I will be very surprised and mad if Shane is the only one in the end who goes down. I've always felt like Vic is the one who made Shane and so Vic must take responsibility for that.

I see what you are saying and I agree to that. Probably should have clarified what I meant about not being in trouble. By that I mean in the course of the legal system. His downfall, I believe, will be more of anguish and personal demons over what all has gone down. Some type of mental breakdown of sorts. Suicide? I highly doubt it but it would not completely shock me. Whatever the case may be, I think Shawn and the rest of his team will have as clear of an ending as can be done that won't leave us disappointed, aside from the show ending.

I think in the end Vic will find out what Shane did to protect the team and take the fall by going to prison. He has offered in past episoded to take the fall for his team.
