Yeah, an interesting ending.
Despite all the good things Vic did, I would say the show was right to end with everyone seeing that Vic is indeed NOT a good person. He can’t be trusted, period. His selling out Ronnie was the most major case in point. He knew he was going to take the immunity deal, he should’ve warned Ronnie, but he just cared about himself in the end. Sure, he did it to save his wife, but, let’s face it, Ronnie stuck with Vic through far more than his wife ever did or would have.
Dutch is a serial killer. After his practical fawning over the “cuddler rapist” in the interrogation room, I had a feeling that Dutch had finally crossed over into admiring what he hunted. While it was fairly ambiguous in the final episode, I think Dutch has gone whacko on us.
Shane needed to eat a bullet three seasons ago. It was long overdue. Killing his family was definitely a ridiculous move, but it definitely followed with Shane’s overall problem-solving abilities. Still, a sad ending for them.
Aceveda’s pure corruption in a suit, if you ask me. There was little else the show could’ve done to demonstrate that. The only reason he went against Pezuela, I think, is pride. Pezuela tried to blackmail him over an incident that Aceveda had already murdered two people over, and he fought back. Anything softer on Aceveda, and he might’ve just gone along with it.
Overall a sad ending for a great show, but, with people like that, what other ending can there be?
It was a great series - Shane murdering his family before eating his gun was over the top for sure. Vic Mackey having to sit in a cubicle for three years instead of life in prison was getting off lightly, to say the least.
My favorite programs over the last few seasons have been The Shield, Deadwood and Sons of Anarchy. NFK - not for kids.
best show of all time. i thought the finale was pretty good. there is a discussion on here from a few weeks ago that talks about the show. the only thing i was surprised about was vic selling out ronnie. i just didnt see that coming. vic was alot of things but always loyal to his crew.
I just wonder what Vic was up to when he tucked his gun into his pants and walked off-screen. I hope there’s some made for tv or straight to DVD follow-up down the road.
I knew shane was a POS when he threw the grenade into his partners car. Offing his family was pretty low. Somehow I never expected him to survive. but his family?
Mackey was the cop you loved but hated. His confessions and the reaction of the ICE Lady over what his immunity protected him from was priceless. Truely a deal with the devil. His wife knew he was evil and was afraid of him.
Lem trusted Mackey and Mackey threw Lem to the wolves.
Aceveda was what corrupts public officials. Power. Greed. Disposing of people who were in his way. Typical politician.
Sad to see the series go. But it had to end with Vic, alone, because he had pushed away everyone, friends, family, co workers, career, to save himself. His misery was for him alone.
So, who was the father of Danni’s baby?
I kept saying that I was going to quit watching it because they were murderers and corrupt, but I finally did give it up after the grenade murder.
I only saw it in re runs so I saw it in a pretty short time.
