The 13 Most Shocking TV Deaths

McLean Stevenson (M*A*S*H), Terry O'Quinn (Lost), Leslie Hope (24)

We really should've known better. We waited two weeks for Brothers & Sisters' "shocking death," when all along we should have realized that what the network had been teasing for weeks (months even, among insiders) in the end wasn't all that shocking — especially when it didn't even really happen.

Oh well, maybe we're all patsies. But to make ourselves feel better, after the jump are the TV deaths that actually delivered a gutshot and had us talking about a character's demise the next day — for all the right reasons. read more

The Shield Finale: All's Well That Ends Badly

The Shield

The Shield made TV history in so many ways. It put FX on the map. It signaled new possibilities not only for the police drama, which it turned on its head, but for basic-cable programming, which had never gone this dark or explosively, explicitly bold. This week, the show made history again, wrapping its remarkable seven-season run with one of the most searing and satisfying series finales of all time. (Read the full recap here.)

Series creator Shawn Ryan cunningly mapped out a way for Vic Mackey, that dirtiest but most gifted of ham-fisted detectives, to get away with murder, while also ... read more

The Shield Episode Recap: "Family Meeting"

When FX launched its first drama, The Shield, the promoted it with the tagline: "The Road to Justice Is Twisted." If you didn't believe the show had a mission statement from the start you can't deny it now. The Shield's series finale, "Family Meeting", contained everything a great episode of the show should: drama, drugs, twists and heartbreakingly awful decision making. Decisions that have cost and irreparably damaged lives. Some of those decisions weren't necessarily made in this episode, but instead were set up years ago. Vic's own road to justice (Did he really get any? More on that later.) began years ago when he had friends, family, and a great opportunity to run an experimental team in the Farmington district of L.A.

The Shield: A Postmortem with Creator Shawn Ryan

Michael Chiklis

By now you've seen how The Shield took its final bow. [And if you haven't and don't want to know what happened on the series finale just yet, you shouldn't read any further. This story requires one big SPOILER ALERT!] Corrupt cop Vic Mackey got his immunity deal, but it came with several justice-serving, tragic trade-offs. Shane, his former Strike Team comrade, killed himself and his family. Ronnie, who was left out of Vic's deal, was arrested. Vic's family entered the witness-protection program without telling him. And that cushy job offer from the Feds turned out to be a workaday desk job. No more action for Vic! After so many startling developments, we had to talk to series creator Shawn Ryan about his last creative choices for the show, what he thinks its legacy will be and what he'll work on next. (Hint: It's a sitcom!)

How Do You Think The Shield Should End?

The Shield

After seven critically acclaimed seasons, FX's The Shield (Tuesday, Nov. 25, 10 pm/ET) will finally close up "the Barn" for good with "Family Meeting," a blockbuster, 90-minute series finale that creator Shawn Ryan promises won't be in the ambiguous style of the Sopranos' fade to black. "The story makes sense," says Ryan. "Vic will pay a price -- some will think it's too high, and some will think it's too low." Read on to see how it could end...

Premise: A corrupt and brutal L.A. detective runs an elite squad by his own rules in a neighborhood ravaged by drugs and gangs. Unusually gritty and graphically violent, but seldom less than riveting, 'The Shield' gets its biggest jolt from the breakout performance by Michael Chiklis as the complex and volatile Vic Mackey. The drama made Emmy history when he won for Lead Actor in a Drama in 2002, the first such win for a basic-cable series.
