The new season premieres March 15th with the addition of Glenn Close to the cast. The season 3 DVD just came out today, February 22nd, check the following review from amazon.com. My personal highlight of season 3? The knock down drag out between Tayvon and Shane. That was *THE* most brutal fight I've ever seen on television.


Editorial Reviews

Dramatically speaking, the third season of The Shield is dysfunctional in the "best" sense of the word. Relationships fester in a quagmire of personal and professional conflict, and clashing agendas inspire some of finest episodes of this volatile series. Det. Mackey (Michael Chiklis) struggles to save his crumbling family (including two autistic children) while his strike team endures internal tensions over their secret stash of stolen drug money. Shane (Walton Goggins) clashes with teammate Tavon (Brian J. White) with near-fatal consequences, and his demanding fiancée tests his loyalty to Mackey. Capt. Aceveda (Benito Martinez) suffers unspeakable humiliation en route to city council promotion, engaging Wyms (CCH Pounder) in a battle of wills over proper command of "The Barn." Dutch (Jay Karnes) pursues the "cuddler rapist" case and confronts the dark side of his soul, while Danny (Catherine Dent) revives her career and is re-partnered with Julien (Michael Jace), who suppresses his homosexuality in a desperate quest for conventional marriage and family. After Lemon (Kenneth Johnson) attempts a drastic solution to their "money train" worries, the shaken strike team faces a deeply uncertain future.

As always, The Shield juggles multiple plotlines with relentless pacing and narrative economy, packing substantial character developments into all 15 of these action-packed episodes. This season's inclusion of a competitive decoy squad offers humor and professional sacrifice, and the pivotal David Mamet-directed episode "Strays" arrives at a shocking conclusion, with Mamet regulars Clark Gregg and Rebecca Pidgeon (Mamet's wife) giving outstanding guest-star performances. Series star Chiklis (whose pugnacious mug dominates the DVD packaging) makes his directorial debut on "Slipknot," and eight episodes include informative, entertaining commentaries by the principal cast and crew. A generous archive of deleted scenes illustrate the agonizing decisions required by the time constraints of episodic TV, and the making-of documentary offers an intimate look at the series' collaborative writing process. With major developments (including a new role for Glenn Close) in store for season 4, these episodes maintain the high standard of provocative drama that loyal Shield fans have come to expect. --Jeff Shannon

Hopefully, Nip/Tuck starts up not long after The Shield ends.

The whole inter team feud with shane, who knows wtf is gonna happen with the tainted money, and then you know there gonna be major friction with Mackey and Glenn close.

And yeh I do gotta agree with the most memorable moment from scene 3 being the gully fight between shane and tavyon, that iron to the head and tavyon walking out with half his head bloody and his eyes looking half past dead...that ish was crazy. But now the MOST disturbing moment was when whats his face (the old department head, the mexican cat) was forced to give head to the dude at gunpoint, that shit had me tripping for the next week.

I thought about that happening for putting it up so early before the premiere, but the Season 3 DVD set just came out so I thought I'd throw it up. KEEP THE POST ALIVE!

I thought it wasnt that great, but showed lots of potential for things to come. Lem so wants to be back on the team, he shouldnt even play it off. And I personally don't think Shane killed that guy, I think he was there to clean up a mess though.

MONGO IS A RACIST PIECE OF SHIT.

From ew.com:

http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1036496_3_0_,00.html

Playing the Field
What Glenn Close is doing in ''The Shield'' -- Why the Oscar nominee chose to take a part in a violent, gritty cable cop drama by Dan Snierson

She's boiled a bunny. Plotted to make a coat of many canines. Manipulated the hearts of 18th-century French aristocrats. But today, in an unsavory L.A. neighborhood, Glenn Close isn't embodying another villain — she's trying to capture one. Clad in shades and a Kevlar flak jacket, she's staked out behind a black SUV, a gun in her holster and an even more dangerous weapon at her side: Michael Chiklis. The two are shooting an episode for the fourth season of The Shield (debuting on FX March 15 at 10 p.m.) in which Close, as new Farmington precinct captain Monica Rawling, and Chiklis, as bad-mother cop Vic Mackey, hunt for a murder suspect and a drug distribution center. • Between takes, Close boasts about how she trained for the raid. • ''I did 25 laps in the pool this morning,'' she says. ''I did some crunches. I did a couple push-ups, too.''


Chiklis looks impressed: ''You're up to 25 laps now?''


''I'm up to 50,'' she says. • ''Wow,'' marvels Chiklis. ''Check out Close!'' • It's still true: She will not be ignored. By signing on to a full season of FX's gritty-gutty police drama, the 57-year-old actress — star of classics like Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Big Chill — is adding another bold role to her 30-year career. It's a move that will likely boost the critically acclaimed show's audience, which dropped from 3.3 million viewers in season 2 to 2.5 million last season, and it's bound to raise the question: Why go from 101 Dalmatians to 101 Citations? ''I kind of like being the scrappy underdog,'' she says. ''What's the big deal?''


The big deal, of course, is that film icons rarely report for episodic duty. (Can you picture Meryl Streep moving into the Cohen guesthouse on The O.C.? If only.) But securing a Great is exactly what Shield creator Shawn Ryan had in mind when he envisioned the tough-yet-amiable captain who takes command of the fractured precinct this season. He recalls compiling a list of dream actresses that also included Susan Sarandon and Frances McDormand. ''I started setting my heart on while thinking, 'Don't get too worked up because it probably won't happen.'''


Close was thinking the same thing. The five-time Oscar nominee and three-time Tony winner — who nabbed a Golden Globe this year for Showtime's remake of The Lion in Winter — initially told her agents to turn down the Shield offer, but her reps persuaded her to at least take a meeting. So Ryan, FX entertainment president John Landgraf, and CEO Peter Liguori jetted to New York City for a multimedia, multi-hour pitch. Close said yes by the end of the week. ''I'm a sucker for good writing and for people who are really passionate,'' she says. ''There was something very seductive about being wanted so badly, and the fact that they had come all that way and were willing to sit in my little apartment...'' What also won her over was the chance to play a female who could compete in a testosterone-teeming environment. ''I was offered Dune right after The World According to Garp,'' she says. ''I turned it down there was this scene where they were running away from the big worm or whatever it was and the woman fell down, and everyone had to come back to get her. I said, 'What a cliché. I don't want to be the woman who falls down. I want to be the woman who's running just as fast as everyone else.'''

The Shield cast was shocked to learn Close would be their running mate. ''I spent the first five minutes on the phone getting upset with Shawn Ryan because I thought he was messing with me,'' says Chiklis, 41, who uses terms like ''national treasure'' and ''hot s---'' to describe his new costar. ''I remember saying, 'Why would you do that?' and he's like, 'No, I mean it!' She's one of maybe three actresses in my fantasy world that I'd get. There was this great exhilaration: 'Wow. Glenn Close. Holy s---. This is gonna raise everything up a notch.'''


After devouring 41 Shield episodes and brain-picking one of the few high-ranking female police officers in New York City for authenticity purposes, the actress spent her first days on set trying to keep up with the run-and-gun pace. ''She was very weary,'' recalls Chiklis. ''I put a hand on her shoulder and asked if she was all right and she's like, 'Yeah, I gotta buckle up.''' Adds Close: ''I didn't know where I was for a while. It's literally like jumping off a cliff.'' Her character also treads on unfamiliar turf, warily trusting dirty cop Vic to help clean up the hood with some controversial policies. But be warned: Monica isn't the battle-ax you'd expect her to be. ''Because Glenn is so capable of being strong, the easiest thing we could've done is to turn her character into this really forceful, charismatic bitch, but we weren't interested in that,'' says Ryan.


''It was important that this is a character we like.'' Then again, don't call her gun-shy. ''I think I kick major ass, and it's already controversial in my mind,'' Close says of Monica. ''I kick a grandmother and her kids out of a house. It's pretty rough. But my feeling is she's looking at the big picture.''


Speaking of the big picture, Close isn't ready to retire from the multiplex just yet. She's viewing her Shield gig as a 13-episode treat, before resuming that whole celebrated film career thing. (''I haven't won an Oscar yet,'' she says. ''Put that in your article.'') In the meantime, her big-screen workload hasn't dwindled. Close unveiled three movies at Sundance: Heights, a Merchant Ivory production in which she plays a Broadway actress; The Chumscrubber, a dramedy in which she plays a bewildered suburbanite; and the vignette-driven Nine Lives, which features Close as a young girl's mother. ''I'm too old to do a lot of parts, so what's left to do?'' she says, pondering for a moment. ''Queens. Eccentric grandmothers. Women with hats.'' For now, woman with a badge seems like a killer choice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a review from EW


SEASON PREMIERE 10-11PM
The Shield (FX, TV-MA) Now that David Aceveda (Benito Martinez) is on the L.A. City Council, actress Glenn Close joins the Farmington precinct as its new captain. We like our Close shrewd, manipulative, and cojones-crushing, but that persona is barely present in the actress' cool portrayal of Monica Rawling. Most of the episode's heat is generated in the final scene when Shane Vendrell (the marvelous Walton Goggins) returns after falling out last season with Vic (Michael Chiklis, left, with Close). Mackey should be stressing over the new boss, but it's his old partner who's making him sweat. B+ —Lynette Rice

1. LOL at the teaser! “The Dog was reachin’” Pure Comedy!

2. “That’s when I heard somebody scream.”
”Did you call for help.”
”No”
”Why not?”
“I had a mouthful of dick at the time”

CLASSIC!

3. Claudette needs to give it up. You effed up move on.

4. Ronnie has had more lines of dialogue in this episode than he’s had the entire run of the show. He’s kinda like the Jarobi of the strike team! He’s stepping up now that Lem and Shane are gone. He’s Vic’s new best friend.

5. Vic cares about the chilren! Took the opportunity to beat down the child beater.

6. And so it begins. Captain Rawlings and Vic Mackey form an uneasy alliance.

7. Aceveda’s rape is still having repercussions.

8. Did Shane kill that guy? I see Vic was the one keeping *him* under control. He just went completely bad.

9. Arrgh!!! My VCR cut off. I missed the last 2 minutes. After Shane took the Blackberry. This sux.

'Shield' Collars Solid Ratings with Close

(Thursday, March 17 08:51 AM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The addition of Glenn Close to "The Shield" attracted some curious viewers Tuesday, resulting in fairly strong ratings for the show's fourth-season premiere.

About 3.9 million people tuned in to the FX series Tuesday night (March 15), giving "The Shield" the second-biggest audience on cable for the evening (behind a "Law & Order" rerun on TNT). More than half of the audience fell in the adults 18-49 demographic prized by advertisers.

Both numbers represent improvements over last season, the least-watched of "The Shield's" three years. Last year's premiere drew only 2.8 million viewers, and the show's season average was slightly below that. The series averaged about 3.3 million viewers in each of its first two years.

Tuesday's numbers didn't quite reach the heights of the season one and two debuts, which both attracted more than 4 million people, but FX can hardly be disappointed with an improvement of more than 35 percent over last year.

The casting of Close, an Emmy winner and five-time Oscar nominee, as the new captain in "The Shield's" fictional L.A. precinct of Farmington has brought some renewed buzz to the series. The rest of the cast, including Emmy winner Michael Chiklis as Detective Vic Mackey, remains intact.

Episode #43. Grave

Mackey tries to help an old acquaintance find a wayward teenager, but the search quickly turns ugly when the missing teen appears to have been involved in a shoot-out. Meanwhile, Shane heads out into the field with his new partner Army, teaching him shady police tactics and seeing how far he'll go to be partnered up. Plus, Aceveda spends his last day trying to bury Vic for good, which makes things difficult for Rawling trying to take his place.

The Shield March 22, 2005

1. “This program is rated MA-LSV” I missed this at the beginning of last week’s episode. Why don’t they just say, “This isht ain’t for kids!”?

2. All four members of the strike team in the barn at the same time. This is like the Beatles reuniting (despite the handicap of having two dead members) or at the very least…the Fugees.

3. Boy, Gilroy fell hard didn’t he?

4. “Money and pussy make men do evil isht.” Think about that Shane!

5. Aceveda needs to stop bad mouthing Vic. He looked the other way when Vic was doing his dirt because Vic got results.

6. “Hold that lie!”

7. Oooh Vic ran that fool off the road.

8. How many times is Vic gonna make somebody vomit?

9. “Hey! Clean up in aisle 4”

10. “I just need a pussy ain’t so stretched.”

11. Dutch got Jungle Fever. He likes the “sisters”.

12. Shane is straight corrupting Armando. I guess Army :: Shane as Shane :: Vic.

13. Ahh…the Money Train plot just won’t die.

14. Ooooookay. Aceveda got problems! You think Dutch killing a cat was bad? How bout getting off on watching a rape? And taking it home for his own personal porn collection?

15. Wow. Shane is dirty and in cahoots with Antwoine Mitchell. Didn’t see that one coming.

16. Grade: A-

And add:

I'm really digging Glenn Close's character.

I predict that Shane will be dead or at least critically injured by the middle of the season.

Aceveda getting off on that rape tape makes me want to go take a shower. *shudders*

Then again, I was kinda groggy before the show started. 

I am somewhat tired of seeing Glenn Close's face two episodes
into the new season. That halfway smile she has on her face 
in most of her scenes due to old age or botox or whatever the
case is is somewhat annoying. And I'm kinda tired of seeing
Shane right now, even moreso because he is responsible for
Tayvon not being on the show anymore, assuming Tayvon was
written out since the Strike Team is dead and there's no need
for him. 


And I also get the feeling the show is going to overdo the
internal clashes due to politics and shy away from the
personal defects of the different personel on the show, which
is think is a major mistake. But time will tell.

44. Bang



With Farmington on the brink of a gang war, Monica and Vic race to find the catalyst and stop the bloodshed, enlisting Antwon's help along the way. Still in the doghouse, Dutch decides to take action in thawing the relationship between Claudette and the D.A. Danny and Julien get up close and personal with the Farmington 1-Niners, while Monica looks to Vic for support when the implementation of her property seizure policy challenges her morality.

The Shield March 29, 2005

1. Claudette ain’t too happy about having to report to Vic!

2. “They run one of two ways. The pussy they getting into or the pussy they came out of.” © Vic Mackey

3. “Naw we got a circle jerk jumpin’ off. Why don’t you grab some Vaseline and join in?”

4. Claudette needs to apologize already.

5. Yo that video was W I L D!

6. I’m unemployed….I finally figure out what my problem is. I need a “resume” like my man Choppa!

7. Aww…Dutch. You done said the wrong thing. Even the brotha looked at him like WTF? And Monica nipped that in the bud. She addressed that issue with the quickness.

8. Takin’ that house is sooo wrong.

9. I like that promo for that Steven Bochco show, “Over There”. It looks interesting.

10. Um..I think Momma is pissed.

11. Vic is trying hard to get Shane back. He gotta keep his eye on that boy.

12. Dutch making deals so he can get back to work. His “controlling” Claudette ain’t going to turn out well.

13. Grade: B

I think Claudette just aint happy, period. Cause she is definitely not pleased with being under Glen Close. That video was hilarious though. And was it just me or did Shane's wife look strung the fuck out? This episode was good, I will agree with a B, but next week's episode looks crazy.

- Dub

I give rappers the biz for being m-izza-a-archaic.

But I think the Glenn Close decision was a horrible one and
the show is suffering in part from it. Everytime she is on the
screen, I wonder what her purpose is besides her first and
last name on the credits. Just not very convincing to me in
terms of the authority and clash of power her character is
supposed to provide for the show. And I know this is a minor
detail and I guess reading theses boards for the two or so
years its been in existance made me more perceptive of this
kind of stuff, but it bothered me that she chose to wear
shades during the scene when she had to sign off on taking the
house. Weak job on hiding her eyes in what was an important
scene. And to further nitpick, it seems her face is only able
to do that inappropiate half smile I noticed in past episodes
and the stone wall non-emotive crap she did when the evicted
mother came in her face. Overall, the show feels very
disjointed and rushed together. I'm wondering how the writers
will incorporate the private lives of the various police onto
the show at the rate things are going so far. I guess I will
still watch this show since I hardly watch TV in general and
need something to entertain me aside from video games and
DVDs.

 The one positive aspect to last night's show of course was
the rap/skin DVD. Very funny stuff.

Just curious, how long have you been watching the show?

lol. 

But nah, I actually like Glenn Close in this role thus far.

I have to say that I did like yesterday's episode. And you
want to know what one good reason why it was up to snuff?
Brickface's mug wasn't on the camera for extended periods. 

I hope this season Claudette isn't written as being just a one
dimensional bitter character.

I take it Brickface = Aceveda? Yeah, dude could use some
microdermabrasion, lol.

Me, too. I'm not liking her attitude at all this season.

No, Brickface is Glenn Close's character. I guess I should
have said Stoneface, but I was at work at the time and had to
rush the response.
