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.
Come on now; Vic has screwed over everybody that had the misfortune to meet him. Vic only cared for Vic. Catching criminals was just a stepping stone for that.
Yeah - Aceveda entered the series as a reformer, but his lust for power caused him to throw all his values away.
Mara was a greedy bitch from day one. Her and Shane deserved each other. I knew her fate was sealed when she led Shane to the real estate office to steal those checks, then when she shot that innocent woman. I didn't like the fact that her unborn child and Jackson had to die with them, but that is how life is. Children are at the mercy of their parents. That is why parents need to always think "how is this going to effect my family?" It is a concept lacking in modern life. Someone else is going to come along and pick up the pieces, bail you out, clean up your mess. This realism is what made The Shield so popular.
