I remember that scene. That was just amazing and sick on so many levels.

You probably don't think that I can force this towel down your throat. But trust me, I can. All the way. Except I'd hold onto this one little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest it, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. For most people it would take about a week to die. It's very painful

I'm personally following 24, The Shield and Battle Star Gallatica.
I love watching 24 and The Shield. BSG is a great show, but its not like the other two shows.

Agreed. I'm totally hooked this season, and I think that the story and the acting are the best for the series thus far.

Kinda of a derail, but anyone think the "Theif" show they run ads for during the Shield, will be any good?


As far as The Shield, The show previews for next week. Man, I think Vic is going to kill Kavanaugh after he grills Vic's ex.

I agree, but another reason I think it will be good is because Andre Braugher is in it, and he is an AMAZING actor.

Wasn't he in Homocide (which I never saw) and Hack? Definitely a good TV actor.

I didn't watch Hack. But yes he was in Homicide. He also had roles in City of Angels and Glory (as far as movies go).

The producers of the show have said it's going to be a roller coaster ride between Vic and Kavanaugh throughout the first part of the season. Both sides will have their ups and downs. BTW, Forest Whitaker isn't signed for the final 8 episodes (yet), so it'll be interesting to see what happens before the show goes on hiatus.

Well, point to Kavanaugh this week.
