Who is leaving "The Shield"? (Spoilers)

[Quillion]

On the preview after the show tuesday, we were told that for one character, this would be the last episode. Which character will this be the last episode for?

Assuming that they aren't copping out (pardon the pun) and making it Antwan Mitchell, who do you think it is?

And discuss.

[karsh]

Uhhh...I'm pretty sure it's obviously Glenn Close. She's not coming back next year since it's too far from her home on the East Coast to film on the West Coast. So she'll be gone. I'm still hoping Shane gets popped too. At least let him get shot up...I so want him to get fucked over for fucking over Tevon. I miss Tevon.

[kaji7p56]

Tavon got what he deserved!

[Quillion]

But, for a female actor her age, there aren't a lot of roles around. I don't think they're on the way to writing her out.

[karsh]

Tevon was the fucking man. Cleetus Van Damme there sucks ass and I so want him dead. But Glenn has SAID that she's not coming back, and they've already stated repeatedly that she is not coming back next year due to wanting to be with her family.

THE SHIELD (FX) - Glenn Close reportedly will not return for the show's expected fifth season next year. In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, creator/executive producer Shawn Ryan said: "We were hoping, early on, that Glenn might return because she digs the show and is enjoying it so much. But we knew all along she had only agreed to do one complete season." The addition of Close has helped propel "The Shield" to significant gains (nearly 25%) in the ratings this season. No details however were specified on how Close's character will make her exit. Click here to read the original story.

This was back in May, and there's been no news of her resigning, so it's a safe bet that she's gonna be gone. And most likely, it's gonna have to do with her moving into Farmington, cause I just can't see them doing something like that, and making a big deal, and then not using it at all.

[CaseyRyback]

I think it is going to be Acevada.

makes sense since he fucked everyone he knew to hide what happened, and he just made a deal with the devil


If it is not him, I think it will be Ronnie considering he already got fucked up by the stove (the only strike team member to get fucked up by one of the bad guys) and is the least important strike team member. They may think he is expendable

[karsh]

I also wouldn't be surprised if Antwain returned next season. All season long, people have been praising Anthony Andersen as the true best addition this season, instead of Glenn, so I wouldn't be surprised if his deal does go through with the DEA and he gets out. Would make for a pretty good set up for next season, dealing with Antwain coming after the Strike Team. Though that may be a bit too much like the Armenian Money Train.

The Ads all season long make it seem like it's "Vic vs. The New Captain" but all Gleen Close does is help Vic. She does not really add anything to the show. Anthony Anderson on the other hand is great.

[Quillion]

It's possible that Monica will get jacked up at home, I hope not though.

I think it's going to be Aceveda too. They seem to be tying up all the old plot threads with him, and he's already out of the precinct.

[Scrubking]

It was obvious that they were making a move this season with the new detective moving in and getting lots of face time. I say claudette leaves and now dutch has to work with that new detective guy. It always seemed like claudette was getting ready to leave.

[kaji7p56]

I predict Aceveda will kill himself when the whole town finds out he sucked some cock...and secretly enjoyed it!

Why is this thread so dead? The Shield is probably the best show on TV right now. The Wire is also fucking great.

[Quillion]

Agreed. This should be more active.

I don't know about Aceveda killing himself, but arrested for trying to have that guy killed? Maybe.

I was half-joking about Aceveda but his character has become far more interesting this season with him beating up that whore so he could get a hard-on.

He has become interesting, but he's more of a sideline character now. I wouldn't miss him much if he backed out of the series completely.

[Puff Is Hurr]

I say JULIEN! He messed the team up on the church bust, and glenn close wantsd him gone.

[Puff Is Hurr]

BTW whatever happened to TEYVON? I kno he was in a coma, but what happened after that?

[Graystone]

um, That one with the badge.

Seriously though I think it's Glenn Close, she is a movie actor not tv. Yes people can make that switch but I don't think she will return she does not fit into the show IMO.

[CaseyRyback]

that bitch needs a cap put in her ass

[CaseyRyback]

the ending sucked. I was really hoping Glenn Close was not going to leave. They really short changed that character because it was just starting to finally not suck.

Though I am glad she fucked over Antwan when she did get the boot


and knowing that the Shield is not going to be on for another year pisses me off. I wish the Shield game came out so I would have something to tide me over

Yeah, I feel the same way. The season is way too short. :(

I liked this season alot, though. I liked it better than 3.

I'm hella ready for Rescue Me, though!

I wish they would have re-shown season one before the new season since I never saw it.

They did. I think now they just throw on a random episode at random nights, though. But about 2-3 months ago I caught the whole season from like.. 11-2am on weeknights.

I mean right before the next season. You would think they would do it to hook people in

[Chris Dillon]

I thought i kinda got gipped on the episode with some of the episode being wasted by stupid stuff. It wasnt very exciting and no real plot twist except for that stupid informant.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Probably Aceveda.

[CaseyRyback]

Probably Aceveda.

the season finale was already tonight. The poll is only there because I did not want to make a new topic

oops. Shows how I keep track of days :lol:

[goukill1120]

I gotta admit I was alittle disappointed in the way season finale ended cuz I thought someone was gonna die. That was a nice twist with that lady ratting out Vic and the boys and wow Vics Daughter got big really quick, I still remember the first epidode when Vic is interrogating that one dude who touches little girls and vic goes "my little cassidy is 9 you wanna go finger her" or something along those lines, and then he proceeds to beat the crap outta the dude with a telephone book.
