The Shield: 5.11-Post Partum

Other than the show's ending, this season finale was so-so. It felt a wee bit dragged out during the first hour. But, yowza! Once the last half hour kicked in, The Shield was up to form. Lem is dead, blown to bits by one of his closet friends. Cant say I'm too surprised, Shane has always been the shadiest of the Strike Team and he now has a lot to lose what with another kid on the way, but dang, that was cold. I appreciated the writers making him feel remorse though. A lot of times these characters come off stony. Cavanaugh really crossed the line with Vic and I wish we could have seen them really go at it, not just roll around on the ground like a couple of girls. Honestly, it's a good thing neither of them have hair. That would have been messy. Overall, I felt this episode was a great way to end the season. Sorry to see Lem die, but I can see how they felt this was the only way to go. It's shocking but it also ties up a lot of loose ends. Cant wait 'til next season!
