Shield update:
Another sub-par episode of The Shield struck tonight, with Glenn Close fizzling on screen again and the writers again failing to include enough of the gratuitous violence, sex, and random debauchery I've come to love and gotten desensitized to.
Of course, a sub-par episode of the Shield is still equivalent to an hour of TV more entertaining than 90% of all other TV shows out there, so it's all good. Hopefully next Tuesday we will get to see Farmington's Finest regulate on gangland.

Glen Close may single-handedly ruin the Shield for me. That is, if Aceveda's self manipulation while watching the tape of a rape didn't.
The Shield now has a blog where one of the writers writes about the episode. The writer for the first episode said they hired Close to "appeal to a wider audience." This prompted one chatter to comment that they have "gone Hollywood." I tend to agree, in a sense that she is not a good fit for the show.
Re: Aceveda -- I totally called that when the episode was on! One of my wacky predictions for this year is that Shane, who is now working Vice Squad, busts Aceveda on a solicitation charge, which he covers up, giving him a "get out of jail free card."
