My Virgin Diary of the uneven first season of ‘The Shield’ is now complete with a viewing of the outstanding final episode. Mackey might have got his man (all of them, really), but seemingly has lost his family in the process.

I wonder if Larry was trying to send a message to the Hollywood community in writing himself into a Martin Scorsese film on the show — does Larry want into the movie business?

Even though I knew it was coming, Bobby’s announcement that he was leaving the firm was so very sweet. After a strong start it’s too bad things came to this, but Bobby’s departure was long overdue.
