I'll second that! It a great show, Season 2 on five is really hotting up now as we near the finale

Noodle · 20-08-2003, 8:36 AM

Agreed, I've really got into the 2nd series.

Can I ask where you got it from for £20. Play have it for £28.

20-08-2003, 10:29 AM

it was either in an amazon or hmv sale I think

I got it about a month ago

I only got round to watching it last week

James45 · 20-08-2003, 10:39 AM

last night's show was excellent... it really does go from strength to strength. I'll will be getting the dvd set at some point.

**Greg** · 20-08-2003, 12:14 PM

Does anyone know if it is repeated before next Tuesdays episode?

as I missed last nights

Greg

Hi,

Sorry Greg. No weekly repeat I'm afraid.

You'll have to either wait for CNX on Sky Digital to (hopefully) buy the satellite rights to Season 2, or wait for the DVD release sometime next year.

I've PM'd you a synopsis of the episode. Be warned, it contains spoilers... obviously.

Noodle · 20-08-2003, 1:37 PM

I recorded it last night. I'm prepared to post you the tape if you want.

Let me know.

**Greg** · 20-08-2003, 4:16 PM

Thanks for the PMs Pooch but I think I will take noodles very nice offer up.

I will PM you my address Noodle.

Thanks again for the offer.

Greg

Noodle · 21-08-2003, 7:38 AM

You've got PM.

**Greg** · 21-08-2003, 11:39 AM

Thanks Noodle

and if anyone wanted to know the Irish track at the end of the episode was by Flogging Molly.

I don't mean to highjack, but has anybody noticed that CNX is showing the wrong "on previous episode of the Shield" promos at the beginning of the episodes? This, along with the fact that TiVo's guide data is wrong for the episodes means that I have no idea what ep I'm watching until I watch it. Very confusing.

Most of the time those 'previously' cuts are an amalgamation from several episodes from the past, particularly if certain issues that appeared in all those different episodes are going to be touched upon or resolved in the current show.

22-08-2003, 5:55 PM

i don't like those previously on.... which most US dramas seem to have

they give away what the focus of the episode is going to be

Do the producers seriously not think viewers can remember what happened a few episodes ago

then again they are aiming at a US audience

Have you tried digiguide Az they always seem to be spot on

Yeah, TVTome is my bible these days.

It's a moot point now, because I've caught up with the eps I missed anyway.

Still, great show.

rct · 24-09-2003, 7:22 PM

Well the finale last night really has me desparately wanting to see what;s next! I hope that five bring us Season 3 a little earlier next year

PoochJD · 25-09-2003, 11:12 AM

Hi,

An interesting climax, to Season 2, but was expecting something far more brutal to happen to Vic Mackey. With his job on the line, and his impending divorce, it seemed a little too sugary-sweet to have him and the Strike Team be succesful with the Money Train job.

However, I'm sure Season 3 will not give Mackey and his crew time to enjoy the money!

Still one of the best shows on UK TV! Shame that it's going to be at least June 2004 before we'll get to see it on Five. But, at least we have "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" Season 4 and "CSI: Miami" Season 2 to look forward to in the new year, as well as "24" Season 3, from March, on BBC2!

James45 · 25-09-2003, 11:16 AM

I hope they repeat season one as a stop gap!
