Cole Hauser (K-Ville) and C.C.H. Pounder (The Shield) have landed leads in The Tower, a CBS drama pilot about a group of Chicago reporters who don't break news so much as investigate it with the intensity of 1,000 hot lights. Per the Reporter, Hauser will play a crime reporter, while Pounder will serve as his newspaper's managing editor. — MWM read more
April 17, 2007: Maybe He Didn't Do It | The Shield | 4/18/2007
"He killed Lem. Don't you remember his body, his face? You think you could just forget that, huh? Don't you think he deserves to die for what he did?"Those words, screamed at Shane Vendrell by Vic Mackey, helped mold a scene that had to be the most powerful one of the entire series. Wow! You knew Vic was going to do something harsh to Guardo if he found him, but wow! I mean, wow! I know I'm saying that word a lot right now, but that one word — wow! — really sums up the boldness, the intensity, the determination, the shock, the brutality, the hatred.... I could go on forever trying to describe the meeting of Guardo and Vic but nothing could do it justice, so I choose "wow!"This whole season, you could see the anger in Vic's eyes and you could smell the revenge coming, but despite everything that's happened over the previous five seasons, even my eyes were wide open in shock this time around. Guardo, hung by a rope, getting brutally beating by Vic with a monstrous metal... read more
April 10, 2007: I Framed a Guilty Man | The Shield | 4/11/2007
So the fact that Forest Whitaker wasn’t going to be around after this episode was not a well-kept secret at all, but I wasn’t expecting the situation between him and Vic to go down like this. I think I was somehow expecting Kavanaugh to get a surprise beating or take a bullet, although then again, he’s too smart for that. But it seems like he wasn’t smart enough to realize that no one plays both sides quite like Vic Mackey. Jon’s downfall of course was when he started planting evidence. (You could say his downfall was taking this case in the first place, and I might agree.) But seriously, when you think about it, Vic has done so many things wrong, from killing a cop through the money train, that if Kavanaugh couldn’t take him down based on the true facts, then maybe he’s just not as good as he thinks he is. Vic was in his head so much that as a last-ditch effort he tried becoming him but even Dutch Boy saw through the load of crap that Kavanaugh... read more
April 3, 2007: I Hung My Head | The Shield | 4/4/2007
I thought of many ways to begin my first blog for The Shield, and I think the best way is for you all to join me in saying two words: hell, yeah! Honestly, I've never been this excited for a new season of a show. I certainly haven't watched every show in existence, but of the ones I have, this might be the only one without a misstep somewhere along the way. So, you'll have to pardon me if my emotions get the best of me at points. What can I say, I'm excited! But first, before we chat, a moment of silence for Lem. Whew. It felt like an eternity between the time we saw Lem take a grenade and the start of this season, didn't it? It's all worth it, though, to see the absolute gore, the unmatched anger on Vic's face, and to feel your eyes swelling as the show opens and closes with Johnny Cash's stark cover of Sting's "I Hung My Head." I certainly ran the gamut of emotions with this episode. I mean, first, how can you not feel for Lem? He was extremely loyal to his crew and wasn't about... read more
