'The Shield' movie?

In case you haven't heard, there are rumours about a possible 'Shield' movie, if there is popular demand.I think that's not a good idea.I mean, after a great final season and a great series finale, there is no point for such a move.I don't know, maybe the story could be great, but,given how the show ended, it would be better, if these plans didn't materialize.

2008 Best Tv Show

The Shield-Season 7



Many good tv shows ended in 2008:The Wire,The Shield,Boston Legal and other shows.There were many possible nominations for best tv show of the year,but without a doubt,The Shield with its seventh and final season,was the clear winner.The journey of Vic Mackey finally ended,but not without consequences,for everyone involved,in one of the darkest seasons of the show,a show known for being raw and gritty.A common theme in this season was that the past comes back to haunt us,that nothing is forgotten,that unresolved issues come back,asking for a resolution.It's clearly the end of an era.Loose ends were resolved and nothing in the lives of the characters,in the Barn,in Farmington was the same.It was a season with one best series finales.It was one the best (along with the first),if not the best season of the Shield.It also was a season,where Vic Mackey showed his true colours.The question is,was he punished or did he get away with what he had done ? Many argue that the situation in which he was when the finale ended,was a form of punishment,although i might disagree with that opinion.I guess we will never know. Read more!

One week before the Shield's series finale

By Jonathan Toomey,Tv Squad

November 17,2008

Over the past several years, TV fans have been fortunate enough to be able to say a proper good-bye to some of the medium's finest dramas ever made. Alias, The Wire, The West Wing, The Sopranos, and Six Feet Under have all bowed out within the past four years, and the list could go on. They all got "endings" - whether you liked them or not. However, none of them (save for The Wire and for entirely different reasons) were as consistently riveting as Vic Mackey's exploits on FX's The Shield.

Since the seventh and final season began airing, FX has sent critics the first 11 episodes. So, despite the fact that I've been in the know, I've tried to avoid sounding like "I have a secret" in my episode reviews. Still, I was in the dark like everyone else when it came to how it all ends. So imagine my glee when I received an invite last month to attend a screening of the show's final two installments followed by a Q&A with Shield creator Shawn Ryan.

Along with a handful of other critics, I arrived for what turned into a mini-TCA session. However, before you read on, rest assured that what follows in no way spoils anything major about the final two episodes, but rather is about The Shield as a whole. I thought I had reached a pinnacle when I interviewed Walton Goggins - I was wrong. Following the screening, Ryan sat down and just started talking Shield. It was like being witness to the taping of a commentary for a DVD release. He made a point of saying how uneasy the show's finale makes him feel:

"This has been the longest ending ever. This show has been ending for me for a year [partly due to the WGA strike]. Between writing the final script, filming it, editing it, and it's airing, I mean it's obviously been a special show for me and it's nervousness, even knowing what's coming."

The Shield

"Although this police drama was inspired by a cop-corruption scandal of the 1990s, when it debuted in 2002 it had a distinctly post-9/11 theme: what moral compromises are we willing to accept in the name of safety? It centers on Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis), an extremely effective, extremely shady cop heading an LAPD unit that takes down murderers and pushers, usually trampling the Bill of Rights and pocketing dirty money for themselves in the process. The Shield depicts a dirty, red-in-tooth-and-claw L.A. where no one, from cop to politician, white, black or brown, is entirely selfless. No show does a better job of making you feel your TV screen needs a good Windexing when an episode is over."(TIME-The 100 best tv shows of All-TIME)
The Shield,created by Shawn Ryan,starring Michael Chiklis as Vic Mackey,is a raw show.It's raw in various levels:from the depiction of the crimes to the depiction of corruption,decadence,of the psychological and emotional state of the characters.Every character has to face his own demons.Demons,secrets,relationships,secret,suspicious dealings which are an integral part of the plot.Vic Mackey is the leader of the controversial Strike Team.He is a cop the moral status of whom is constantly questionable,but it is clear where he stands.With the developments in the sixth season,his future is uncertain.In his effort,he comes to some shocking discoveries,having as an ally,someone who was previously an enemy,ambitious councilman (and previously police captain) David Aceveda (a man with his own skeletons in the closet).
I saw the first season back in 2005,the second and the third in 2006 and i recently saw the last three (note:Season 6 was originally intended to be aired as the second half of Season 5 (in the same way that HBO split up the last season of ). However, FX decided instead to refer to these ten episodes as "Season 6").My favorite characters are Vic Mackey and Ronnie Gardocki (mainly in recent seasons).Anyway,The Shield is a great show. The seventh season will premiere sometime in September 2008, according to a FX spokesman in a recent newspaper article, and will consist of 13 one hour episodes.This will be the final season according to its creator and the network.
