YOU'RE GODDAMN SORRY?!

I love the atmosphere in the last handful of episodes. Just feels so bleak watching everything fall apart.

Watching Vic walk away from Ronnie while he sobs in the background etched itself in my brain. The sheer brutality of this betrayal, I've never seen in any movie/show ever and I've watched a lot of them. I really wish they'd have some cartel guy kill Vic in the last moments.

This scene really loses all its impact when you realize the only thing they had Ronnie on without Vic’s testimony was aiding and abetting. They definitely gave him a sweetheart deal to sweep all the strike team bullshit under the rug forever

Moneytrain has left the station Macky, you fuckhead!

True if not for the fact Ronnie admitted guilt by losing his shit and saying they would've gone fugitive together with Vic. But understandable because he couldn't have imagined Vic would turn on him so him losing his mind was realistic. No, even if with what he said in the Barn, he would still be off pretty easy but you're missing the point. Even if he didn't get any jail time, his life is still ruined and Vic still betrayed him.

charges officer?

well vic you said you did some bad things with him

lol no

ok

Did you sign off on a deal with Anon?

I did, yes.

I thought we agreed, no deals. The only way to get Anon is to leverage his frens.

We're in the middle of something here, janny

So am I and it just got derailed because you guys cucked out

It's over, Janny. Banning that shitposter sends a message. We all move now.

and Anon skates clean. This guy, this guy is just PISSING, just PISSING all over us and we just smile and lick it up?

That's enough...

ANON SPAMS BOARDS, HE-HE POSTS SNEED, HE SAYS THE N-WORD

YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID YESTERDAY? HE-HE POSTED CUNNY ON A BLUE BOARD

HE MAY HAVE RAIDED Anon Babble

AND THAT'S ALL IN ONE DAY

I WONDER WHAT HE'S GONNA DO TODAY, I WONDER WHAT HE'S GONNA DO TOMORROW

THIS GUY

THIS GUY IS JUST PISSING, HE IS JUST PISSING ALL OVER US. HE'S PISSING ON YOU WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE, HIROMOOT? WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?! CAUSE IT TASTES LIKE P I S S TO ME

I was just thinking about how lame it is we dont do raids anymore. Gif aco and lgbt, and i assume b all need purging of homos and brownoids

KEK beautiful

PISS

Why would Aceveda's actor agree to THE SUCK storyline?

during an argument in a Sopranos discussion thread on Anon Babble, I… I replied to my own post agreeing with the sentiments expressed in that post. This was intended to give the impression that my position was more popular than it in fact was

I reset my IP to divert suspicion, but… it was me. The anon I was arguing with knew. He just couldn’t prove it. I was too good.

I too wish it was Ronnie instead.

That whole last season is such a wild ride. It's like being in a sinking ship but you don't want to jump out of it.

It's a "Vic bangs the hottest girl currently in the room" episode.

I can suspend my disbelief for most things, but that...

The finale literally feels like the ending to a Shakespearean tragedy. Not even The Sopranos was as brilliant.

SWEET BUTTAH

Dutch Boy is literally me

One of the best characters in television history.

Even sadder is how Lem would've reacted to Shane and Ronnie. He was always the one with the most emotional attachment to the team. The Shield really is the most tragic TV series there is.

Got a panic attack when Ronnie's arrest went down. It felt like I was about to be arrested. Never has a TV show had that effect on me. Ever.

I have to rewatch this show, man. Only seen it once and I feel guilty admitting this.

I prefer Sopranos overall but Shield's final season and episode are so much better they don't deserve to be in the same breath.

I only watched the first two seasons pretty recently, but I didn’t like it that much. Do I need to watch the rest? It all felt a bit too “TV” for me. None of the dialogue was given any time to breathe.

That problem doesn't go away but the last 3 seasons are so fucking good it's worth putting up with the show leaning into the TV tropes of 20 years ago.

named Ass Invader

but in the end it’s he who gets raped

Bravo Vince

Don't watch it if it isn't for you. That's common knowledge for any show.
I personally got hooked to it right off episode 1, back in 2017 when I remembered watching random episodes back when it was aring but never sticking around because episodes were too dense for me to jump into it midway.
I swear, I had a long weekend off work and I was glued to the screen, watching episode after episode and stopping just to cook something or go to the bathroom.
I really need to rewatch it slowly one of these days.

if you ain't in after the 1st episode it's not really the show for you

Sopranos and Shield are not comparable in any way. Sopranos is like an elevated soap opera while The Shield is a 7 season action thriller. Apples and oranges.

I felt the same way but it gets a whole lot better. It's one of my favorite shows, now.

Every single person I've showed it to has come away singing its praises and putting it above anything else. I don't understand how FX is not marketing the shit out of this masterpiece and instead Sopranos/Wire/Breaking Bad steal the popularity it should've had.

Mackey gets things done. I'm sorry folks.

You're allowed to say you like apples more than oranges, that's not what the fallacy is concerned with.

I don't understand how FX is not marketing the shit out of this masterpiece

disney owns fx and it's not a very disney product

Disneyland adds a ride where you cruise through Farmington and execute a no-knock raid with the strike team

Fund it

We were going to SUCK!!! WE WERE GOING TO SUCK TOGETHER!!!!!

The payoff are seasons 5-7
I think it gets a lot of revisionist praise here because you can speedwatch and the cheesy bullshit serialized old cable nature and other flaws are easier to ignore
Like myself and other anons have said though, the last 3 seasons are a great watch, it's like condensing the best of the show into it's purest form while the showrunners, writers, and producers found their groove
