The man who hid behind the law

[sparkfire89 · 10/10 · 22 June 2006]

This episode brought out the dark side in Vick and proved to many that the show. As of recent the seasons have had more of Vick character with more tolerance for the humanity in others. The violent streak is still there. Way before Anthone Mitchell hit the scene armadillo was Vick real enemy. One who didn't let the anyone but himself pull the strings. He became the one of the strike team worst enemy. Actually showing the ripple effect of what happens when you get to close to the criminal mind. This episode contains some of the most extreme graphic torture scene of the series is one of the most phenomenal episode. That will actually allow you for once not to question what Vick Mackey does but instead watch. This is one of the best storyline from the Shield.

Dead Soldiers (#2.2)

This episode is once again really brutal. The scene with Vic burning Armadillo was pretty sick. Not that one feels bad for the character, after all he did it to many, including Tio.

Vic's wife is crazy. I don't get her actions. Hope he gets his kids back. She is like Skylar from Breaking Bad.

Danni shooting that Arab guy was a pretty sad moment. I actually thought this will just be a humorous storyline. But same as with the time when the funny story about a girl switching boyfriends, it ended up tragic. I am realizing how close this was to 9/11.

The story about shooting the parking ticket officer was also pretty good.

and I liked the conflict between Vic and Caudette about the case with Armadillo.
