Just Another Daaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy....

Shield update:

Last night's episode of the best show on television was a little better, starting with an amazing opening scene that told a lot about who was feelin' the new Chief (Glenn Close) and who wasn't. All in all, the best episode of the year so far, though still below average. Here were some Pros and Cons:

Pros:
1. The Strike Team looks closer than it has in awhile to re-forming under a new name.
2. We got to see Vic push a criminal (I guess my law school friends would get mad if I didn't say "suspected criminal") over a fence and insult several other "suspects."
3. It looks like Dutch Boy is finally going to get some high-profile cases.
4. It is always fun to see Claudette suffer.
5. The played-out "Julien is gay" and "Aceveda got raped" storylines were noticeably absent.

Cons:
1. Three episodes and we still haven't seen Vic, Shane, Ronnie, or Lem shoot any "suspects" on screen? C'mon, how realistic is that?
2. Three episodes and we still haven't seen Vic, Shane, Ronnie, or Lem have spontaneous unprotected sex with any sluts on screen? C'mon, how realistic is that?
3. Still too much screen time for Glenn Close.
4. It's too hard to believe that Anthony Anderson, the pudgy comedian who has starred in such dramatic and challenging work as "Mad TV," and "Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London," is a criminal mastermind.

Tune in next Tuesday at 10/9 central on FX!
