Hey guys,
I'm desperately trying to figure out which episodes of The Shield to show someone I want to get hooked but I'm undecided.
I was thinking:
1.01 and 1.02 Pilot and Our Gang
or
4.06 and 4.07 Insurgents and Hurt
or
4.07 and 4.08 Hurt and Cutthroat
or something entirely different like 1.08 (Cupid and Psycho)
What do you guys think is the best?

personnally i think that the pilot is the best to get started and to get someone addicted. i mean, you'll know right away by your friend's reaction if the show is made for him or not... i say that because it has worked for me and for all the people i turned to shield-fans!

No question in my mind -- it's gotta be "Pilot". Shane's wisecracks, introduction of the ST and other cast, Dutch being picked on, Claudettes shocking line about how Vic takes care of business and the jaw-dropping end.

Show them "Co-Pilot" and then "Pilot". Starting off from the very beginning like that will allow them to soak in the base of the show the questions afterwards will be more of the "What happens next?" as opposed to "What happened to cause this?" or "How did this come about?"

"Pilot" for sure.
"Co-Pilot" has a lot of stuff in it that could be a little confusing if you havn't seen the episodes before it. One example would be when Gannon asks Vic about Joe Clark. If you havn't seen "Partners" that who little conversation would be useless since you'd have no idea who they are talking about.

No question you got to go with PILOT! That is the episode that hooked me and most everyone on here. Don't start out with anything in the middle, it will lose some value out of context, and not be as powerful especially if your trying to hook your friend.

Every single person I've shown Pilot has been totally hooked on the show.... well, this one girl fell in love with Terry as soon as she saw him and kinda got pissed off that he won't be in any more eps... ::evil laugh::

The Shield Pilot is the best pilot ever made, and has to have the best ending out of any show.
