Check out the look on Vic's face throughout the moments when he has Emolia at knife-point. Pay attention to the moment when Shane calls him to tip him off on Kavanaugh coming back to the safe house.

One time.
Doing time.
For a long,
long
time.

Mikey's incompetent?

Seriously.

I may or may not have just come.

What exactly were the moral repercussions of a retired assassin? Who exactly did she kill that was remotely not deserving of their fate?

You're right (at length, of course, as you explained later) about Ronnie.
Julien - eh, I dunno. He could have been hurt, though it's unlikely, but it was the smart approach.
And yeah it was the Byz-Lat king (fuck, what was his name) that smartly works with Vic to get three of his idiots (and they really were, I think)…

Be fair to Nowalk - this is the one time in The Shield where an Iraqi is explicitly shown and he doesn't go there.

I don't like montages matching up so nicely with the song playing over it - but that shot of Hiatt in the series-ending credits is him wielding Lem's shotgun to the dismay of the Strike Team.

I always loved Mara - even found her bearable in S3 when the show overextended her role a bit (though the show kinda overextended everything that season anyway) just for the way she easily saw right through Vic.

I don't like how neat this is. (I've read it before.)

This is my biggest issue with me thinking Tilly is a T5 Shield 'piece of ass.'

Spoilers

Wasn't Tony's mother's house (where's he been staying in S5, and where Janice was living before moving in with Bobby) implied to be on the other side of the block, sharing backyards?

I think I figured out the "negative" vote on the Baby Danny board.

SPOOK STREET!

Casper was one of those great Shield characters, not just for his delivery, but for the way he pulled off his character plausibly. And he had a certain Ralph Cifaretto or Vito Spatafore quality to him (he's just around to make money for people, and he's damned good at doing that).

Claudette admitted a few episodes ago that she has money on Dutch.

I get more black ass than a bus bench in Compton.

DBT is absolute ownage.
